The Coop

I'm back from interrail now and missing it already. This episode follows the journey of me travelling around Europe with my two best friends, Marina and Kaitlin, both of whom have been on the podcast before (make sure to listen to their episodes- The Coop (Marina's Version) and Deep Dive into Our Lives). This is part one of our interrail podcast diaries so make sure to look out for part two, all about Paris, coming soon!

this is a story I've been meaning to tell the podcast for a while, it's a little chaotic and full of giggles, true Helena style if you couldn't tell already!! Have a fantastic time listening guys :')

Guys....I took an unplanned break from the podcast whilst exams were going on, but I am back!! This episode is a very chilled one with me giving you all little life updates because a LOT has happened this month, not only in terms of things ending but also in terms of new things starting too. This is deffo a background noise episode so chuck it on and we can get ready together hehe, enjoy!

As you can tell from the title, this week's episode of The Coop is another episode of If Our Lives Were Album and today I'm joined by Joseph to explore his 'album' Rising Up. We discuss the memories that music has created for him and his family and how it's become a unifying source for his family to bond over. I hope you all enjoy our conversation!

Hey guys, in this episode I give a little life update before diving into my experiences with sleep paralysis and dreams becoming very blurred with reality for me. I question how we can separate real life from our dreams if both states of being feel so vivid and tangible. I hope you don't get too lost with me on this one!!

In this episode, as you can tell from the title, I digest all my thoughts around identity and how I've learnt to accept that identity can't be one thing but is an accumulation of multiple aspects of who you are. I talk about my experiences with having identity crises and how recovery has affected my sense of self. This episode has been a long time coming but I feel like it's the perfect collection of all the thought processes I've had on identity. Enjoy!!

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of anorexia nervosa

The things I never shared...

I will forever be grateful to sit here a year on, happy to be here and happy to get my life back. Thank you to my parents, my brother and sister, amanda and my core group of friends, I love you all endlessly. I literally wouldn't be here without you. To anyone struggling, trust me when I say recovery is worth it in the end.

Hey guys, welcome to the second episode in my mini-series 'an exploration of', as you can tell from the title, this episode is centred around the concept of living. I explore the so-called purpose of life and if there is such thing as a meaning to everyone's lives, I also discuss the definition of 'living' and if there even is a set definition of what it means to live. This episode captures a thought process that has become very prominent to me recently, enjoy! 

Hi guys, welcome to a new mini-series on The Coop where I'll be exploring new topics in each episode that I've dedicated a lot of time to thinking and analysing about over the years. Today's episode is focused around popularity and how I've come to the conclusion that it's nothing but a psychological act based on someone else's insecurity. In no ways is this targeted at anyone, it's very much a generalised thought I've had! Enjoy :)
