Welcome back ! Today I wanted to talk about what we consider ‘cringey’ and why.

Thanks for listening, you can follow the pod on Instagram: @t...

Welcome back ! This week, we’re talking about whether relationships should be private. Over the years I’ve had a variety of relationships, some very public and some incredibly private. I wanted to dissect why we post about our relationships on social media, and is it okay to keep it to yourself ?

Welcome back ! Today we’re talking about being wrong and making mistakes, particularly the difficulty around admitting wrongdoings and how we can ease the guilt and take more ownership of our actions. It’s a pretty deep topic but I’ve been wanting to dive into some more serious things and this seems like a good place to start. As always thank you for listening and sticking around :) you can follow...

Welcome back ! this week, we’re talking all about valentines.

Welcome back ! This week we're discussing why December has not been an organised month for me, and one of those reasons is seasonal depression (or SAD). Every year I convince myself that nothing will change, and every year I'm affected by the cold weather and the darker nights, so much so that I've pulled together all my best tips and tricks to survive it. The good news is, this episode comes out...

Welcome back ! This week, we're talking about birthdays. Love them or hate them, they can be a pretty overwhelming event and sometimes, they can be very emotional.

I discuss all the pros and cons about this day, as well as offering some advice on how to make the most of it....

Welcome back ! This week, I sat down with my twin sister Jade. We discussed our favourite (and least favourite) things about each other, how we've become closer with age, and even shared some sisterly advice. It was important for me to talk openly about competitiveness within siblings, and the jealously we can have for them, even when we are supporting them. I hope this episode makes people consid...

Welcome back ! This week, I'm turning twenty four. It's a strange time for me because I've never been very good at getting older, but I wanted to turn my anxiety into something positive and consider what I've learnt over the years.

Welcome back ! This week, I'm ill and talking about reality tv. Whether you love it or hate it, it's everywhere and I wanted to know why we all seem to consume so much of it.

From skipping PE (and sometimes Maths) to being the 'quiet one' in class, we examine the best / worst bits of school and decide whether we'd go back for the day. Join us as we chat about the cliques of high school, what we really learnt from it all, and most importantly, find out why a chip shop experie...

Welcome back ! This week we’re talking about diet culture: a rigid set of expectations about valuing thinness and attractiveness over physical health and emotional well-being. It often emphasizes “good” versus “bad” foods, focuses on calorie restriction, and normalizes negative thinking towards yourself and your body. I started noticing this concept a few years ago, so I wanted to face this topic...
