Perspective Perry

We’re often told to trust our gut, listen to our heart or follow what feels right. But what happens when you do that and it doesn’t turn out like you’d hoped? In this episode I reflect on decision making, intuition, relationships, timing, and why some choices can feel wrong in the short term but meaningful later on. We don’t have to have perfect instincts. All we can do is the best we can with the...

The world used to feel more colourful, didn't it? Not just in films, but actual everyday life... In this video I explore that feeling through nostalgia, physical media, 80s and 90s aesthetics, the power of optimism and the strange sense that modern life has become more clinical, corporate and monochrome than we'd like. Then watch as I geek out over one of my favourite hobbies, LaserDisc -...

At the start of a new year many of us are trying something new. A new job, a new skill, a new habit or a new direction entirely. What we don’t often talk about is how common setbacks can be when we do that. How easy it is to feel like we’ve failed when something doesn’t go to plan, even when we’re genuinely trying our best. But that might do us better than never stumbling at all... In this episode...

Today we're revisiting the book Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller, and focusing on anxious attachment and why it can feel like panic when you really like someone. We'll briefly recap those three attachment styles, then talk through what Anxious Attachment can look like, and the positive, helpful things can actually help it.

January can feel heavy, even when everything looks fine from the outside. In this video I talk about checking in with friends and family in a way that goes beyond the automatic “Yeah, I’m fine” exchange. Not to fix anyone, and not to turn it into therapy, just to remind the people we see them, we care about them and they’re not on their own. This is about listening and presence, not having the rig...

This episode wasn’t planned. I sat down to record something else, then something else again, and neither felt right. So instead, I decided to talk honestly about what I’ve actually been doing lately and why. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been keeping a simple gratitude journal. Nothing strict. Nothing structured, no targets, no optimisation. Just writing down ten things each day that I’m grat...

A reflective look at a small but often overlooked social signal that can quietly shape the conversations we have with the people we might randomly meet. This isn’t about tactics, it's not about flirting techniques or reading people like puzzles. It’s about awareness, presence and noticing moments of genuine connection as they unfold. If social situations sometimes leave you second-guessing you...

A gentle check-in for anyone finding the festive season heavier than expected. Here's a short, calm message about pressure, expectations, comparison and the quiet strain that can easily build at this time of year, no matter how patient we are. Not everyone feels joyful, social or celebratory in December, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you’re navigating family dynamics, loneliness,...

A quiet reflection on The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and why it resonates so deeply with people who feel restless, stuck, or quietly hungry for something more in life. We're not talking reckless escape or abandoning responsibility. Just about the pull toward aliveness, curiosity and the feeling that life might be happening just beyond the edges of routine. If you’ve ever felt torn between com...

A reflective dive into the opening pages of the bestseller 'Attached' , exploring anxious, avoidant and secure attachment styles, how modern dating can overwhelm our natural instincts and how even the healthiest forms of independence can sometimes become an invisible shield that blocks the connection we might be looking for. If you've ever noticed yourself repeating the same patterns i...

Learning to start again after a humbling setback brings a strange mix of fear and pride. Sometimes we step away from a passion because something shakes our confidence. Other times life simply gets in the way. This is a story about the long road back to something I loved and the hard fall that forced me to rethink what endurance really feels like. What's something you have thought about returni...

Whether you're single, coupled up or married, this is usually the time of year when we can all get a bit reflective about the patterns we have with our partners, or the relationships we maybe wish we had. This is a quick look about a book that helped me to understand my own attachment patterns in all kinds of relationships, and why certain connections in life ultimately felt the way they did....
