circuit breakers are a list of things I refer to when I'm either needing to be calmed or energised. they are so useful when I am experiencing feelings of anxiousness or sadness, and want that shift in behaviour and action, and therefore mood. no matter what levels of anxiety or low moods you may experience, they are helpful for any moment when you want to break the circuit! I encourage you to write your own list of circuit breakers using mine as inspiration.

an article in medium.com outlines 7 things not to spend your money on in your 20’s. in this episode, I go through each of these and discuss my thoughts - should we spend money on alcohol, devices, streaming services, etc? I talk about money values, how stripping back your spending really shows you what you care about spending money on, & much more of my thoughts on money and spending money.

my recommendation for this week: this article from vanity fair

after being in a relationship for 2 years, having a short stint out of that relationship, and having now re-entered it, I have a lot to self-reflect on regarding my independence. in today’s episode, I explore the idea of codependence and interdependence in a relationship, as well as independence when out of a relationship, and discuss everything from identity, self-soothing, reliance and everything in between.

ps: whilst I was open re sharing my experiences in a relationship, please be mindful that I obviously do not cover the details or the entire context of our relationship, and that the parts I did share today are purely for the purpose of speaking openly about this topic!

welcome to episode one! after introducing myself and what this podcast is all about, I dive into something that’s been on my mind a lot recently - that my life isn’t beautiful. my study-filled, often repetitive days have nothing on those I see on instagram and tik tok and youtube. why isn’t my life that aesthetic and pretty and seamless? I share my thoughts on all of this and what I’ve been doing to shift my perspective

 this week’s recommendation: being around people ;)
