Through Scarlett’s Eyes

How often do you give one tiny interaction the power to ruin your entire day?

In this episode of Through Scarlett’s Eyes, we talk about why we let other people’s moods, opinions and behaviour affect us long after the moment has passed, and how to stop giving them that power.

But it’s not just about the negative. We can become just as dependent on other people’s attention, approval and validation. I’m exploring what it means to become more independent of other people’s reactions - letting them add to our happiness without being responsible for it.

In this episode of Through Scarlett’s Eyes, I’m joined by my uni friend for a relaxed conversation where we put our opinions (and each other) to the test.

Through two segments, “What Would You Do If…?” and “Who’s More Likely To?”, we tackle a mix of hypothetical situations and questions that reveal how differently (or similarly) we see things.

Along the way, we challenge each other’s assumptions, get to know each other a little better and share our honest reactions - while hopefully giving you a few things to think about (and maybe disagree with us on!).

Two friends, two perspectives, and plenty of questions.

In today's episode, I share with you a simple list I created to help me feel more motivated, improve my mood, and take better care of my overall health and wellbeing.

This list came after several months of spending far too much time bed rotting and doomscrolling. I reached a point where I realised I wanted more for myself. I didn't need a complete life overhaul or an unrealistic routine, I just needed a few small, achievable habits that I could stick to every day.

So I created Scarlett's Daily Habits for Success: 7 simple tasks that are easy to complete and don't feel overwhelming. The goal isn't perfection; it's consistency. By focusing on small wins each day, I've found it much easier to build momentum and feel more positive, productive, and in control.

If you've been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you're struggling to get back into a routine, I hope this episode gives you some ideas you can adapt to your own life.

In this episode, we are revisiting my craziest stories from semester one of university. I’ve only lived here for a few months and have already witnessed some bizarre things. From strange roommates to traumatising welfare checks, and even being tricked into a (harmless) theft... it has been an absolute rollercoaster.

Welcome to Through Scarlett's Eyes.

Perfectionism is exhausting, to tell you the truth.

I mean, being goal-driven to do everything to the best of your ability is a great quality to have, but it becomes unhealthy when being an overachiever starts to drain you and makes you feel burnt out for no good reason.

And so in this episode I am going to tell you all about what perfectionism even is, my experiences as a perfectionist, and how I have made efforts to manage it and not let it take over my life, so hopefully there might be something in here to help you if you have similar experiences, and if not, then welcome to my world! I’m happy to teach you all about it. 

Today we are talking about that confusing and kinda soul-crushing moment when someone disappears without a word or explanation. And we call this Ghosting.

We are unpacking the initial feelings and response to getting ghosted, why people do it, and how to cope.

A lack of emotional maturity and the inability to communicate is a reflection of who the "ghoster" is.

This week, I’m recording from a whole new environment… literally. I travelled 5 hours to my university campus, swapped my laptop screen for a real-life classroom, met my lecturers and peers in person, and followed a set schedule. It was a total shift from my usual online routine. In this episode, I’m reflecting on the differences between online and on-campus university life. What works, what doesn’t, and how each one shapes the way we learn.

Breakups are one of the most transitional moments in life where we are thrown from a comfortable routine and forced to relearn how to embrace independence.

In this episode I share my experiences and advice on breakups: how to cope, what NOT to do, how to know when you are ready to move on, and all about the emotional impacts.

Join me for a light-hearted talk about breakups and how to process everything that hits us when we go through them.

It could be risky to talk about this topic, but it's one I've been thinking about for a while now.

Cheaters.

We hear the word cheater and immediately think so little of the person at fault. But today's episode is a lesson for not only you, but also myself, which is to not be so quick to judge when you hear someone has cheated.

As a society, we need to dive deeper, and think about whether the act was avoidable, was it justifiable, and can it be forgiven?
