Can’t Cope

#28: It Was a Mental Health Purchase, Your Honour


Listen Later

In this episode, Kelsey and Rebecca catch up after a chilled January week. Kelsey shares her excitement over sticking to routines, new skincare, and healthy eating, though her dishwasher drama is giving 2026 energy already. She also introduces us to her new TikTok friendship with King Guinea Adventures, a viral guinea pig account that was filmed in her hometown church. Meanwhile, Rebecca is deep in life admin. Booking her dream Japan trip, dealing with her fear of flying (and tsunamis), and planning her mum’s 70th birthday weekend in London, including her controversial thoughts on Mamma Mia the musical.


The girls also dive into this week’s topic. “Things We Buy to Feel Something.” From Boots splurges and unread books to gemstone obsessions and luxury holidays that didn’t quite hit the spot, they explore how consumer habits can reflect deeper feelings. Rebecca opens up about past spending patterns as a way to avoid what was really going on emotionally, even if it meant multiple solo trips to Italy, endless toiletries, or booking flights just to feel alive. There’s laughs, reflections, and a little bit of emotional growth… plus a near-death experience in Supermac’s. Standard.
