Tickety Boo - Exploring Mental Health with Care and Compassion

This episode started with a simple card-pull question:

"What's the most common piece of advice people ask you for?"

What followed turned into a really honest conversation about change, fear, overthinking… and why so many people stay stuck waiting for the "right time" to begin.

We talk about:

• Why getting started feels so difficult
• The fear of making the wrong decision
• How overthinking quietly keeps people trapped
• And why action — even messy action — changes more than endless thinking ever will

Because most people already know what they need to do. They're just waiting to feel ready first.

This episode is about the moment you stop toe-dipping and finally move.

If you've been stuck in your head, waiting for clarity, motivation, confidence, or permission — this one's for you.

Nobody warns you that one day you'll get emotionally attached to things like: A quiet morning. Good sleep. An empty calendar. A decent frying pan.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about the strange little shifts that happen as you get older and how the things you once chased slowly get replaced by things you never thought would matter.

We get into:

• Why peace starts to feel more valuable than excitement
• How your definition of happiness changes over time
• The weird joy of cancelled plans
• And why protecting your energy suddenly becomes a personality trait

What starts off funny turns into a really honest conversation about growth, burnout, priorities, and what actually matters when life settles down a bit.

Because getting older doesn't just change your body… It changes what feels important.

And honestly? Some of it's a bit weird.

Some of the ways you think, react, and cope… weren't built by you.

They were passed down.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we explore "The House I Didn't Build" — the traits, behaviours, and default responses we pick up from family without even realising it.

The habits. The beliefs. The ways of dealing with conflict, emotions, pressure.

We talk about:

• How family patterns quietly shape who you become
• The roles you step into without choosing them
• The traits you carry that don't actually fit you
• And what it means to recognise what's yours… and what isn't

Because at some point, you start to notice:

You've been living in something you didn't design.

And the real work is deciding what you keep… and what you let go of.

If you've ever caught yourself thinking "Why do I react like this?" — this one will land.

We weren't planning to go this deep…

In this card-pull episode of Tickety Boo, we randomly landed on the question:

"What is the meaning of life?"

Simple question. Massive answer.

Joined by our newest team member Ann, the conversation moves from light curiosity into something more reflective — looking at the moments, lessons, and experiences that actually shape how we see life.

We talk about:

• Why reflection matters more than we realise
• The lessons we only understand after we've lived them
• How triggers can point us toward growth
• And why curiosity might be one of the most important tools we have

This isn't about finding a perfect answer. It's about asking better questions — and being open to what comes up.

If you've ever caught yourself wondering "What am I actually doing all this for?" — this one will get you thinking.

Not all resentment is loud.

Sometimes it's quiet. Subtle. Built up over time in the things you don't say.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about the resentment we carry but never admit — the kind that grows when you stay quiet, avoid conflict, and expect people to just know how you feel.

We get into:

• Why we don't speak up when something bothers us
• The silent expectations we place on others
• How "I'm fine" slowly turns into frustration
• And why resentment often says more about what we're not expressing than what others are doing

Because the truth is… People can't meet needs you've never made clear.

And the longer you stay quiet, the louder it builds inside.

If you've ever felt irritated, disconnected, or fed up — but couldn't quite explain why… this one will land.

We all have parts of ourselves we keep hidden.

Not because we're trying to be fake… But because somewhere along the way, we learned it wasn't safe to show them.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about the sides of us we hold back — the thoughts we don't say out loud, the feelings we brush off, the versions of ourselves we only show in certain rooms.

We get into:

• Why we filter who we are depending on who we're with
• The fear of being judged, rejected, or misunderstood
• How past experiences shape what we hide
• And what it costs you when people only ever see the "safe" version of you

Because the truth is… When you hide parts of yourself long enough, you can start to lose sight of who you actually are.

This isn't about oversharing or telling everyone everything. It's about understanding what you've been holding back — and why.

If you've ever felt like people don't fully know you… this one will land.

We say we want peace. We say we want to feel content.

But we don't live like it.

We stay busy. We chase more. We compare, scroll, strive… and fill every gap with noise.

And somewhere in all of that, we drift further away from the very thing we say we want.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about why being content feels so difficult — and whether the problem isn't life… but our inability to just be in it.

We explore:

• Why striving can quietly become a distraction
• How comparison pulls you out of your own life
• The discomfort of slowing down and doing less
• And the question most people avoid: If everything stopped… would you feel okay?

Maybe contentment isn't something you find. Maybe it's something you stop running from.

If you've ever felt restless, fed up, or like you should be happier than you are — this one will hit.

You know it's not right. You feel it.

But you still don't walk away.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we answer a question from one of our listeners: Why is it so hard to walk away from a toxic friend?

And we don't sugarcoat it.

We look at both sides:

• When they are the problem
• And when you might be part of the pattern too

We talk about:

• The unspoken "contracts" in friendships
• How everything feels fine… until you stop complying
• The fear of rejection, guilt, and being seen as the bad one
• And how cancel culture can make walking away feel even heavier

Because sometimes it's not just about them being toxic… It's about what you've been tolerating, adapting to, or afraid to lose.

If you've ever felt stuck in a friendship that drains you but you can't quite let go — this one will land.

You don't always realise how low you've been… until something shifts.

Until you laugh properly again. Until your body feels lighter. Until a moment hits where you think, "Oh… this is what normal feels like."

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about that quiet, uncomfortable truth — that sometimes you don't know how sad, flat, or disconnected you were… until you come out the other side.

We get into:

• How low moods can slowly become your "normal"

• Why you don't always notice you're struggling

• The moment things lift — and what that shows you

• And how easy it is to lose yourself without realising it

This one isn't heavy for the sake of it. It's honest.

Because sometimes the biggest wake-up call isn't hitting rock bottom… it's finally feeling okay again.

🎉 Episode 100 of Tickety Boo — and fittingly, we didn't plan the topic.

This one came from a random card pull, and the question we landed on was:

"When do you have a hard time asking for help?"

What starts as a simple question quickly turns into a really honest conversation about vulnerability, pride, and why so many of us wait until things hit crisis point before we finally reach out.

We talk about:

• Why asking for help feels so uncomfortable

• The pressure to appear strong and "handle it yourself"

• How pride, fear, and conditioning keep people silent

• Why we often wait until things are falling apart before we open up

It's reflective, personal, and exactly the kind of conversation Tickety Boo has always been about.

If you've ever told yourself "I'll deal with it myself" this episode will probably resonate.

And to everyone who's listened, shared, or supported the podcast along the way thank you for helping us reach 100 episodes.
