In this episode, we ask a big question: have we become a selfish society?

What starts as a catch-up about sensible nights out, camping trips, work events and intermittent fasting quickly turns into a deeper conversation about burnout, modern life, social media, self-care culture and why everyone feels permanently exhausted.

We chat about:

• Why people seem more self-absorbed after COVID
• The difference between self-care and selfishness
• Social media’s obsession with “perfect lives”
• Why nobody gets a medal for burnout
• Office pranks, hot desking and stolen Mars bars
• Work culture in your 50s
• Road rage and why driving changes human behaviour
• GCSE stress and whether exams actually prepare kids for life
• Camping with teenagers
• The Fast 800 diet, step counting and the tragedy of giving up Vimto

There’s also discussion about kindness, empathy and why maybe the answer to modern life is simply giving people a bit more grace.

A funny, honest and very relatable conversation about friendship, midlife and trying not to lose your mind in 2026.
