Introducing Untangled: A Tanglewood Podcast

At Tanglewood Care Homes, we believe moving into a care home is the start of an exciting new chapter full of connection, growth, and self-care. That belief inspired Untangled, our new podcast series.

Untangled shares calm, honest conversations about ageing and care. Each episode focuses on what helps people feel supported during change. The podcast reflects our values. We listen carefully. We stay understanding of residents and families. We lead with empathy, because every life story is different.

What to Expect From the Podcast?

Moving into care often happens over time. During this period, families may feel guilt, worry, or uncertainty. Untangled exists to support people through that experience, we created it to offer reassurance, perspective, and space to reflect.

The Untangled podcast supports residents, families, and carers. It reminds listeners they are not alone. We start the series with a conversation that reflects the purpose of Tanglewood’s Untangled podcast.

In our first episode, we speak with Susie, a child psychologist and author of How to Be Selfish. We recorded the episode shortly before her London book launch. The conversation focuses on reconnecting with personal needs, especially for people who spend much of their time caring for others.

In this episode, we explore:

• The pressure to “be good” and how it limits self-care
• The difference between coping and living well
• What resilience looks like during life changes
• A simple practice to help people feel present and grounded

Who is the Untangled podcast for?

The Tanglewood Untangled podcast is for people seeking reassurance and connection. This podcast is for you if you:

• Support others and find it hard to accept support yourself
• Want to move past common myths about ageing
• Are looking for a calmer way to approach change
• Value reflection and understanding

Tanglewood’s Untangled podcast is designed to grow over time. Each episode adds to a wider collection of conversations that listeners can return to when they need clarity or reassurance.

At Tanglewood, your happiness matters to us. We hope Untangled offers the same confidence and peace of mind that we aim to give every family who steps through our doors.
