Mon, 11 May 2026 05:00:00 -0000

This week's guest David Zakwan I discovered on TikTok when I came across his video documenting himself running from Heathrow to Gatwick. He's gone on to do some incredible and crazy things and I managed to get him sat down and mic-ed up for his first podcast for a big old chat.

the history of abortion laws across the UK and Ireland

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 06:00:00 -0000

Trump winning the US presidential elections is a huge lose for women across the globe. Women's rights are up in the air across America, and already Trump has signed an international declaration of not supporting abortion. The US has such a huge influence on the rest of the world, and coming from Northern Ireland, this all feels very close to home considering how recently abortion was decriminalised. In this weeks episode I thought I'd explain the history of abortion laws across the UK and Ireland, as it's a topic I feel so passionate about and hate the thought of us, too, taking steps backwards.

community vs routine

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 05:00:00 -0000

The capitalist society that we live in requires us to live very structured and rigid lives that often means picking between routine over community. Is there a way we can build community into our routine? Or does that completely defeat the purpose of community and disregard the spontaneity required to truly be apart of a community?

perception drift & hyperfixating: the cost of beauty trends pt2

Hellooo my lovelies, back this week with a little life update, house update, reading update, and of course part two of last weeks 'face dysmorphia & perception drift: the cost of beauty trends' episode. In this second part I take a deep dive into my want from a young age to get a nose job, as well as how hyper-fixating on things can result in having a cognitive bias that only makes our hate towards that thing even even more extreme and irrational.

face dysmorphia and perception drift: the cost of beauty trends part 1

Mon, 12 Aug 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Some beauty trends are just a bit of fun regardless of how much we might cringe at them further down the line, like with the 'blush-blind' trend we're now seeing all over TikTok, but other beauty trends can actually be extremely damaging, and cause serious issues with body and face dysmorphia, perception drift, and put pressure on people to alter and manipulate their natural features. Hyper-fixating on features that don't fit the current beauty fads can cause us to negatively spiral and make permanent changes to fit temporary trends, which begs the question, should features or body types ever be trends?

When did it become ok to globally debate someones gender? Put yourself in this woman's shoes and imagine your gender was getting publicly questioned and scrutinised, with people hurling abuse at you and telling you you're evil and not deserving. Gender is not as black or white as we have all been taught growing up, DSD is a lot more common than you think. Let's call this 'controversy' out for what it is, sexist, racist, and transphobic.

choice feminism or female empowerment?

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0000

Choice feminism is something that has arisen in recent years that encourages women to choose what’s best for them, whether it’s to do with anything from their work to their body, as long as they have chosen to do so, it can be justified as an act of ‘feminism’, but is that what feminism is? Or does this ignore the fact that there are patriarchal norms that the feminist movement needs to fight in order to gain gender-equality? And if these choices we make are empowering to us, maybe we should just call it what it is, female empowerment?

friendships: communication, cutting off, fatal flaws

Mon, 08 May 2023 06:00:26 -0000

Let's talk about friendships and how they differ from romantic relationships in so many ways. What standards and expectations should we have of our friends? How do we accept friendships for what they are and what they bring to your life? Does every friend have a fatal flaw that you have to decide whether you can live with or not? Communication within friendships can sometimes feel like a minefield for me, knowing where the line is on what's important and needs to be discussed vs what's not worth causing a fuss over and can be swept under the rug is something I'm still trying to work out😅

Is it just me, or is the amount of options / paths you can take and lives you can live seem ridiculously overwhelming? Like what if I want to be an island girl and a city girl? What if I want to be a diving instructor in Thailand, an English teacher in Barcelona, a stripper in New York, and a chef in Paris? Can we do it all? Is it possible to live all these different lives and do them well? Or do we have to pick one and stick to it... but what if that decision isn't the 'right' one?

What actually is compromise and how does it play out in a relationship that is beneficial for both people?

the comfort zone, insecurities and expressing grattitude

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 06:00:44 -0000

On this weeks episode I'm diving into the various methods which Phil Stutz teaches or as he calls them 'tools' that he has developed over years of working as a therapist that have really helped him and his clients. This episode follows on from January's 'does your mental health depend on your relationship with your physical body?' episode, where I talked about Stutz's life force pyramid theory, after watching his Netflix documentary, which sparked me to read his book, The Tools.

am I an alcoholic?

Mon, 13 Feb 2023 07:00:35 -0000

The word alcoholic has become a bit of a dirty word, it has negative connotations and negative stereotypes associated with it, but in actual fact.. we pretty much all have dependency issues when it comes to alcohol even if we don't want to admit it or see it as a problem. If I told you you couldn't drink for the next year of your life, wouldn't you panic? It has become so normalised and ingrained into our society, working its way into every occasion, event, celebration, break-up, day ending in y, basically no matter what the occurrence, why wouldn't alcohol be involved? On this weeks episode I'm unpacking mine and society's relationship with alcohol, debating how I want it to be a part of my life, and why it's important for me to build a life that doesn't revolve around waiting for the next drink and avoiding my emotions by reaching for the bottle.

learning to accept yourself

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 06:00:19 -0000

TW some talk (nothing in depth) of eating disorders.

In this weeks episode I'm discussing everything that helps me in my journey to self acceptance, whether that's my body, face, life, or just me as a person. Everyone struggles at some point in their life with self acceptance, and it's not something you reach one day and all of a sudden think, wow I accept myself wholly and don't need to think about this anymore. It's a lifelong journey that will have dips and peaks but will always require conscious effort to undo certain habits or thought patterns and to critically analyse the constant messages that we are bombarded with by the media on a daily basis. This is big topic and something I've wanted to discuss for a while now, and for some reason this week it just felt right🥰 I really hope this episode helps some of you in some way, shape or form, whether it's just by giving you a little motivation, or by shifting your mindset completely.

Have you ever wondered what your love language is but never bothered to look into it? This weeks episode I'm talking all about the 5 love languages and doing the love language quiz to find out what mine is.

International Women's Day | An Important Conversation About Feminism

Tue, 09 Mar 2021 19:21:13 -0000

Hi everyone!

This weeks episode I'm discussing International Women's Day, feminism and racism within the feminist movement.

I fully understand and acknowledge that I am by no means the most marginalised woman in society and it is extremely important to listen to the voices of black women, brown women, trans women, asian women, disabled women and ALL other types of women. Tackling gender inequality will never work if you only focus on white feminism and fail to address the oppression faced by ethnic minority women and women lacking other privileges, so DO NOT STOP HERE. I do not speak perfectly on these issues but I would rather speak imperfectly about them and be corrected if needs be, rather than not speak about them at all.

Thanks so much for your continued support.
