i finally watched The Traitors and I loved it!! in this episode, we'll discuss in great detail why reality TV has such a weird reputation, what it can actually bring us and what sets it apart from movies/shows coming from an ex reality-TV hater <3 this is an ode to reality shows as a way to connect and start an easy conversation (could this be the ultimate elevator pitch opening line: "did you...

i have some tea!!! It rhymes with - 'I nearly got made redundant at work', try and guess what it is!!! this episode is all about dissecting my feelings around the uncertainty of the situation, feeling like I'm already falling behind in 2025 and feeling guilty for feeling like I'm falling behind in 2025 also, I went to a dance class

in this episode, we're going to cover why we're a hobby generation (they make us forget about the dark reality of the housing market), why being a beginner at something is so good for us and give some hobby inspiration for 2025 manifesting a very fun year full of pottery painting and tumbling

feeling depressed/overwhelmed? aren't we all We tend to look forward to the festive season throughout the year. But when all the xmas presents have been exchanged (sorry, when Santa has delivered all the presents), all the food and alcohol have been consumed, and the family gatherings are over, what is left of us? In this episode, I try to put into words why we feel the way we do after the holiday...

my birthday is in less than 2 weeks now this episode is a reflection on time passing, december babies and not knowing anything about life yet - a little bit chaotic but never too much i mostly wanted to talk about how delusional it feels to reach the end of your early twenties, the single period that is most glorified by everyone ("enjoy it, these are gonna be the best years of your life") it cert...

making friends in our 20s + I jammed my finger: these two themes are not related in any way Since moving to London in 2023 this has become a major theme in my life so there's a lot to unpack in this episode, we're going to talk about making friends as we get older (did I mention I'm turning 24 next month), how the friend-making process changes as we leave university and enter the workforce I will...

tiktok profile is linked in profile and it's @rootingformyself my self-esteem is not on point at the momenthopefully entering my mid-twenties in less than two months will make it better (rip 23) anyway I'm trying to take it easy in November and not think too much about what I look like, if everyone hates me and what if everyone I know is in a secret group chat where they say terrible things about...

ig: rooting4myself.podcast in this episode your host Mareva (me lol) discusses lots of random topics halloween-related this is perfect -not biased- if you are trying to get in the mood, to listen to while doing your halloween make-up, when baking the famous (in my world) Tesco chocolate cookies or as a little trick-or-treating soundtrack actually no showing up to people's doorsteps with earphones...

vulnerability is such a difficult word to pronounce so yeah I have been trying to be more vulnerable but not massively successful so far though I have been doing a fairly good job at saying embarrassing things about myself in an attempt to open up and be more authentic here are a few examples: - I like to draw (idk why this was so hard) - I don't know - I'm still trying to make friends in London -...

I'm surrounded by people who do those amazing creative things (I spend too much time in shoreditch) so needed to make myself feel better. Here is my attempt at trying to make us all believe we all are extremely creative in our own little ways even if we aren't very good at expressing it in a very sleek professional artistic way like picasso (big meanie btw) and most people who make ig reels are no...

getting personal with this one, this is a topic which feels very broad and important, with so many people moving country, especially in their teens and early adulthood in this episode, I discuss topics such as homesickness, speaking a new language, adapting to the unknown and French people being hairy (still don't get why this stereotype seems to be such a common one but oh hey, this is usually wh...

men ewww!!!! Talking about my experience working in construction/engineering and everything that happened along the way (featuring lots of middle-aged white guys) Also how monotonous is my voice sometimes please I'm clearly boring myself to death here

Proud to be a little GenZ snowflake

Addicted to Vinted, trying to justify myself ❤

Just as a warning, I think I say 'the gym' at least 200 times in this one, feeling a bit like a crazy woman I saw on a TikTok a while ago (iykyk) But anyway, we might not all be Simone Biles, but we all enjoy a little run club Also, I can do a very shabby cartwheel now, gymnastics paid off

Dear Diary, Today's episode was about documenting your life in different ways (don't worry I talked loads about you) including photos, memory boxes and playlists. Lowkey I know I should journal more instead of talking about how great journaling is, who am I to speak But don't you think this also counts?

Kicking things off right with an introduction and a bit of chat (who doesn't love an awkward monologue)
