Tickety Boo - Exploring Mental Health with Care and Compassion

This one's for the stuff you usually brush off with "I'm fine." The things that keep you up at night but never make it into a group chat.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona open the lid on the thoughts we all carry but rarely say out loud the quiet disappointments, the secret fears, the small betrayals we pretend don't hurt.

We dive into:

• Why we pretend things don't bother us (even when they do)

• The stories we tell ourselves to avoid awkward truths

• How silence keeps us stuck

• And why speaking it out loud might be the first real step toward change

No scripts, no performance just real talk. The kind that makes you feel seen.

Some of us aren't just tired — we're wired. Not because we don't want rest, but because we genuinely don't know how to.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona talk about what no one really teaches us: how to switch off without guilt, and how to actually rest without needing to earn it first.

We dive into:

• Why relaxing makes some of us feel anxious, lazy, or like we've done something wrong

• How "rest" doesn't always mean lying on the sofa (and why active rest might suit you better)

• The difference between collapse and recovery

• And why rest isn't a reward — it's a requirement

You don't have to burn out to deserve a break. You just need to stop outsourcing your peace to someday.

You can know it's over. Know it's unhealthy. Know it's not working. And still find your heart refusing to let go.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona dive into that strange emotional limbo—when your brain has figured it out, but your heart hasn't caught up.

We talk about the lag between logic and emotion, why self-protection makes us hold on longer than we should, and the grieving process that doesn't always begin with goodbye.

🔹 Why we revisit people, places, and memories we already know aren't right 🔹 How emotional attachment lingers long after we "know better" 🔹 Why letting go is less about strength and more about safety 🔹 And what to do when your head is saying move on but your heart still whispers maybe...

If you've ever felt stuck in that space between knowing and accepting—you're not alone. This one might land a little deeper.

Ever felt like everyone else has their life together and you're the only one still figuring it out?

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we get brutally honest about the fear that it's "too late" to change paths, start over, or become who you were always meant to be.

Whether it's a career, relationship, identity, or just the way you live day-to-day there's often a quiet voice inside that says: "It's too late now. You've missed your chance."

But what if that's not true?

🎙️ Join Andy, Ian, and Iona as we unpack:

• Why society makes us feel like we're behind

• How shame stops us from making bold moves

• What "starting again" really looks like in adulthood

• The emotional cost of staying stuck out of fear

We've all had moments where we've had to hit reset and this conversation is for anyone standing at the edge of something new, scared to take the leap.

It's not about being fearless. It's about being ready enough.

In this unscripted episode of Tickety Boo, we pull a random card that simply asks:

"What have you learnt about yourself recently?"

No prep. No plan. Just three people reflecting in real time.

And what unfolds is honest, sometimes funny, sometimes uncomfortable—but always real. We talk about the stuff you usually figure out at 2am…

• What patterns we're still stuck in

• What we've finally outgrown

• What surprised us about how we actually behave when no one's watching

Sometimes the biggest shifts come from the smallest moments—those quiet realisations that hit you like a brick.

If you're in a season of self-reflection, this one might land deeper than you expect.

Why do we keep asking other people what we already know deep down?

In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian, and Iona dig into the quiet crisis of self-doubt—when you second-guess your gut, silence your instincts, and hand your decision-making power over to anyone but you.

We talk about:

• Why we obsessively ask for other people's opinions

• How fear of failure makes us chase permission instead of clarity

• What childhood dynamics teach us about trusting (or not trusting) ourselves

• Why relying on everyone else's advice can leave you more confused, not less

We've all been there scrolling for answers, texting a mate, asking someone to validate the thing we already know. But if you're constantly looking outside yourself for the answer… maybe it's because you've forgotten how to hear your own voice.

Expect raw truths, relatable stories, and one honest reminder: Nobody else knows your path better than you do.

Are you actually healing? Or just keeping so busy you don't notice you're still hurting?

In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona ask the question that hits a little too close to home: Are you healed or just distracted?

We unpack the difference between real emotional growth… and emotional avoidance dressed up as progress. You know the drill—new goals, new habits, constant noise—but inside? You still feel flat. Or anxious. Or just… off.

We explore:

• How the brain uses distraction to avoid discomfort

• Why productivity and people-pleasing can become coping mechanisms

• What real healing feels like (spoiler it's not always peaceful)

• Why stillness is often where the truth shows up

If you've ever thought, "I should be over this by now," but something still doesn't feel right this episode is for you.

Expect honesty, a few laughs, and the kind of questions that make you pause.

You know it's not good for you anymore. The relationship. The job. The way you speak to yourself. So why does it still feel impossible to let go?

In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian, and Iona dive into the emotional tug-of-war we face when it's time to walk away—from things, people, and patterns that we've outgrown.

We explore:

• Why familiarity can feel safer than freedom

• The guilt and fear that creep in when we try to let go

• How nostalgia tricks us into holding on to things that hurt

• And why the 'grief' of letting go is sometimes what keeps us stuck

🎧 This one's real, reflective, and full of those hard-to-admit moments—where you know something's run its course, but you're still clutching onto the comfort of it.

Because sometimes, we don't stay because it's working. We stay because we're scared of what comes next.

On the outside? You've ticked all the boxes. But on the inside? Something still doesn't feel right—and you can't explain why.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian, and Iona get honest about the emotional disconnect so many people feel: When your life looks sorted, but it doesn't feel like it.

We talk about:

• The guilt of not feeling grateful enough

• Why "having it all" can still leave you lost

• The silent pressure to be okay when you're not

• And how loneliness, burnout, or boredom can creep in—quietly and without warning

🎧 This isn't a therapy session. It's a real conversation about the messy middle—where things aren't falling apart, but they're not fully right either.

Because sometimes, the scariest thing isn't losing everything— It's realising that everything you thought would make you happy… didn't.

Why is it that we only realise we were in the good times… once they've passed?

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we're diving into something a bit nostalgic, a bit emotional and painfully relatable. That weird ache of hindsight. You know the one: when a song, a smell, or a random moment hits you, and suddenly you're right back in a time you didn't know you'd miss.

We ask:

• Why don't we feel the joy while we're living it?

• Why are we so busy chasing the next thing, we forget to appreciate what we already have?

• And how much of this is about memory… and how much is about meaning?

🎧 We talk about old jobs, past relationships, messy nights out, quiet mornings, and the people who were there but aren't now. 🎧 We ask if nostalgia is just a highlight reel… or a reminder to slow down and live properly.

This one's for anyone who's ever said, "I didn't realise it was the good times until it was too late."

Raw, honest, and a little bit wistful—come join the conversation.
