This week I’m talking about the forced inevitability of AI, the fact that we don’t need it and my lack of understanding of why it can’t just be turned off.

It is also the final episode of season 1 so, thank you so much for making it this far with me.

I think you’re excellent.

This week I’m talking about my ego. My disappointment at not being the overnight sensation I secretly wished to be, and trying to add humanity and honesty into the podcast after Spotify’s announcement of AI podcasts.

Some weeks you just don’t have it.

Nothing is wrong, but nothing is right either. Everything is just a but meh.

This week I am making a case for Whimsy!

Small, pointless, joyful decisions that serve no purpose other than making you happy.

Mindfulness with a silly hat on!

Someone is using my photos on Instagram.

I find it kind of funny.

This week I’m talking about why I don’t care, the woman who was catfished using my face and then got angry at me about it, and what’s actually going on for the person behind the borrowed photo.

This week I’m talking about identity. The physical one, the cultural one, the one that shifts quietly over years until you look back and barely recognise who you were.

How much of who you are did you actually choose?

The way you look. The things you want. The choices you make about your face, your body, your style.

Im curious to know where these things come and wherever you are, its exactly right!

This episode is dedicated to every millennial who doesn’t quite have it figured out yet.

Who is somewhere between the country cottage and Ibiza.

Who is buying candles instead of ISAs.

Who got blamed for killing the high street.

Who pushed and openly talked about mental health.

We lived through more than we should have.

We are still here.

Confused, burned out, and extremely well dressed.

This one is for us.

Welcome to First Day on Earth Airlines.

Please stand up before your boarding group is called.

Fill the overhead lockers with your coats at this time.

Take your time at security. We have nowhere to be.

Remember to stand up immediately on landing and wait eleven minutes going absolutely nowhere.

We had no choice either.

Teenagers. The pack that won’t move. The identical individuality. The decorative headphones. The strawberry vape cloud.

This week I’m talking about why teenagers are a lot, and why they might also be carrying more than we give them credit for.

This week I’m talking about our shared inability to take a compliment. The way we deflect with the backstory of the shoes we’re wearing, our parents telling us not to let it go to our heads, and what would actually happen if we just said thank you.

This week I’m talking about arguing with stupid people and why we need to stop giving certain conversations airtime.

The attention economy, the manosphere (I was obviously going to go there), the game you will never win, and why we keep turning up the volume for people we should be tuning out.

Protecting your energy in a world built around harvesting your attention isn’t optional anymore.

It’s everything.
