turns out, my quarter-life crisis has excellent timing. two months until I'm 25, and I’ve never been more lost, more tired, or more convinced the universe owes me some seriously good career advice. hopefully it keeps on getting better.

In this episode, I talk about ambition, regret, and why we're all looking for some (cosmic) signs.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, directionless, or like your “plan” stopped making sense, this one’s for you.

also I changed the little intro music, hope you like it x

why does everyone say they’re “so busy”?

in this episode, we dig into how busyness became a modern badge of honour as a way to signal importance, productivity, and even desirability.

from the rise of hustle culture and side hustles to the aesthetic of packed Google calendars and the coffee-cup humblebrag, we explore why being busy feels valuable, and why slowing down feels almost taboo.

enjoy and sorry for the echo xx

how are you feeling? sad, low, miserable? not me

this autumn is all about renewal, shedding (skin, leaves, anything really) and getting back on track after a long summer

i'm not very proud this episode, but oh well, i have nothing else to upload

this episode is all about friendships in adulthood, long distance or not, the ones that survive the test of the years, and the ones that don't

fashionably late? or maybe just late

this episode is all about flopping/slumps/ruts/all the words that could be used to describe this, yet my favourite one is and will stay flop.

hope you enjoy <3

in this final episode of my mini-series, Overthinking Summer, we (prematurely) discuss the end of summer, why this season means so much to us and why each summer represents such a turning point in our lives.

I talk about the weather, about the passing of time

I'll be back on 12th August with some fresh episodes

in this sixth episode of Overthinking Summer, we're talking inner peace, hikes, tree hugging, yoga, cold plunges and spa breaks

We dive into the modern obsession with serenity and control (control freaks don't take a day off just because they are thrown into a hot tub).

why do we crave escape so badly?

why is it so hard to actually feel calm, even when we’ve ticked all the wellness boxes?

and finally, what does it say about us when relaxation feels more like a performance than a state of being?

If, like me, your alchohol consumption has spiked with the temperature, but you still aren't warming up to the idea of going clubbing, if you've ever woken up with the gut-wrenching feeling of ... "I don't remember anything from last night" (but your bank account remembers, £13 for a vodka coke, seriously?) and if you've ever gotten weird looks for ordering a fanta orange on a work pub trip, this is for you <3

In this fifth episode of Overthinking Summer, I explain why I don't really go out as much anymore, why I think GenZ might be turning away from clubbing and drinking culture, and what we’re looking for instead.

We love to talk about how travel broadens the mind but who gets to travel freely? And at what cost?

In this fourth episode of Overthinking Summer, I present my thoughts on the ethical tension behind tourism: how it can expand our horizons and exploit local communities at the same time

From overtourism in Venice to backpacking in Southeast Asia, we embark on a little podcast adventure to see how modern travel often replicates colonial patterns, drives up inequality, and contributes to environmental harm.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. Your girl needs a bit of optimism, so we're also going to see what we can do about it on an individual level

Whether you’re planning your next trip or rethinking a past one, this episode invites you to step back and overthink the way we travel

We’ve all heard it: “Are you beach body ready?” Behind the not-so-harmless/definitely-harmful advertising slogans lies a mess of contradictions, expectations, and double standards, especially for women. In this third episode of Overthinking Summer, we discuss the paradox of the “summer body,” from the pressure to be effortlessly beautiful and a good feminist, to the dilemma between self-love and societal standards.

Can you wear makeup just for yourself? Is shaving your legs a betrayal of your values? And what does it really mean to make choices for yourself in a world that’s already decided what you should look like?

We explore how beauty ideals are shaped by whiteness, how internalised standards affect us, and why real feminism isn’t about rejecting everything but about reclaiming our agency.
