We’re coming in hot with a fresh, new episode for you! Today we’re tackling some big topics: expectations, hope, disappointment, self-protection and more. We’re diving into the nitty gritty of expectations and asking how they’re different than being expectant, and how they can actually end up distracting us from what we’re really after.

Join us for the next episode in our series all about our minds and behaviour as we see how the way we cope with life affects our minds! . .  Follow The Anchor of the Week on Instagram / TikTok: @theanchoroftheweek Watch th...

Ever wonder why you can’t shake a mindset even though you know it’s probably not true? Well don’t you worry,  because we’re back with another episode in our series dissecting the connection between our minds and behaviour. Today we’re (literally) calling in the science buffs to explain to us how the brain is created to learn new pathways and patterns. Our friend and neuro-physiotherapist Naomi tel...

We’re continuing our series on our minds and our behaviour, and this week this week dissecting two online articles. The first is about how AI (ChatGPT, to be more specific) is being used in place of traditional therapy, and the second is a Twitter thread where people are sharing advice from their own therapy sessions. But at what point does the search for accessible therapy make it impersonal and...

Welcome to our new series where we’re jumping into everything to do with our minds and behaviour, from therapy to thought patterns to psychology and more! Today we’re diving into the hot topic of “therapy speak”, aka using therapy language in our everyday lives. Is it helping us set boundaries for healthier relationships or is it just pushing people away? Find out what we have to say about it in t...

Time is often thought to be one of the most valuable things in life. So is that why we’re all obsessed with whether or not we’re wasting our time? But what does wasting time actually mean, and who decides if we are? How does living in regret play into how we view our time? Join us in today's episode as we ask these questions and so many more as we wrap our minds around living life in the momen...

Artificial intelligence has become way more accessible recently. But more than accessible, it’s also becoming personal. From Snapchat’s My AI, a friend that’s always there to “talk” with you, to ChatGPT’s ability to write anything from a song to a meal plan according to your specific requests, AI is easily about to become a part of our daily lives. But where is the line between technology being a...

Today’s a very special episode. Not only is it our 100th (!!!) episode, but it’s also the final episode in our UPEND THE TRENDS series!

Today we’re coming at our UPEND THE TRENDS series from a different angle. What if we realised that we don’t actually have to be a slave to the latest viral trend and that WE have the power to decide what’s popular and why? We talk this plus why we love shock value, the Gwyneth Paltrow court case, and so much more on today’s ep!  . . .  Follow The Anchor of the Week on Instagram / TikTok: @theancho...

In our next episode in our series UPEND THE TRENDS, we’re coming in hot with a new topics that is trending and another that is not (but we think should be). First up is something we all love to hate - nepo babies! Over the past few months, this topic has taken the internet by storm and literally everyone has an opinion on the children of celebrities. We contrast this to shocking statistic that a p...

Today we’re keeping our UPEND THE TREND series going by dissecting two topics: one that is trending, and one that is not but we think should be. If you’re in the UK, you’ll be no stranger to the Gary Lineker vs the BBC drama. What started as a political opinion from the famous sportscaster snowballed into the country’s fixation with freedom of speech. Meanwhile, we dig up an under-the-radar news s...

Our phones are constantly buzzing with updates on current events and trending topics. It feels like we don’t even have to go searching for the things that we should care about; they come straight to us. But have you ever stopped to think about why certain topics are trending? And while we’re all talking about those, are there other things that are being drown out that we should be talking about in...

Our  series on the search for spirituality has come to an end and we’re  talking about the biggest things that we’ve learned along the way.

Join us  as w...

Everyone wants to be a “good person”, but with so many different  thoughts on spirituality it seems like there are a million different  ways to get there. Today we’re sitting down with our friend Laetitia who  practises mediation and follows the teachings of Buddha to find that  spiritual fulfilment. She sees things differently than we do, and it  lead us to ask the hard q...

Every time there’s some sort of tragedy in the world, our social media timelines are filled with #PrayFor[InstertCityNameHere] But why does it take something bad to happen for us to consider that there might be something bigger than ourselves out there? As we continue our series on the search for spirituality, we dive into this idea and see how commitment and vulnerability play a part in believing...

We’re back on the streets to hear from YOU! We’re continuing our series  on the search for spirituality, and we’re asking the tough questions to  get you thinking: Do you believe we live a spiritual world? Where do you  find meaning in life?

These are the questions we’re looking to answer over the ne...

WE ARE BACK and coming at you with our first proper episode of 2023!!  It’s the end of January, which means that any emotional high and  motivation to stick to our New Year’s resolutions is probably long gone.  And this is just one of the reasons why we’re officially done with  resolutions and brining in a whole new mindset to the year instead.
