This week it's all about RELATIONSHIPS. In whatever form they wanna take. The fallout of breakups, the pain, the humiliation, the ecstasy. We've got it all.

A DIAGOSIS. A wave of varying emotions tend to wash over us after we are given a specific name for the things that are ailing us. Fear, sadness...relief. I believe that it ultimately gives you power over what had so recently been so powerful.

The INCREDIBLE Helen Bauer, ladies and gentlemen, doing what she does best - being absolutely fucking hilarious. Today we are discussing disordered eating, the roots of emotional imbalance, Shetland ponies (stay tuned), Disney World and achieving some semblance of self love. It's got everything - not to be missed.

We are still unpacking lockdown. Maybe without knowing it - but so many of us are dealing with the repercussions. Because everything stopped for a minute and things were incredibly different. And we were different. And the compulsory heater skelter we had to ride back into normality was tough. And it goes without saying that many were effected far more than others.

The PRESENT. It is so important to discuss the things that are happening for us in the here and now. What we are discovering day by day. The journey is ever moving and growing. It’s exhausting. But let’s talk about it. How do we manage the past? The pain and nostalgia for the people we once were.

The BEFORE and the AFTER. The big things happen and suddenly everything is changed. In the space of a phone call life can seem like a very different phenomenon. BUT it’s the big things that teach us the most and help us to understand exactly what it is we actually give a fuck about.

THE ANNIVERSARY EFFECT. When it rolls on round to that time of year when something fucking terrible happened. It still exists in your body and mind. Understanding that residual pain is so powerful.

What is GOOD PAIN and what is BAD PAIN. Doing what is ultimately for the best can feel so incredibly painful in the moment. Everything about it feels wrong, making decision making tremendously difficult. Deciphering which avenue to take can be pretty strenuous and often you have to take multiple paths in order to find the right one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

MENTAL HEALTH and SHAME are practically synonymous and they shouldn't be. It baffles me that it's 2023 and we are still fighting to help people understand that mental illness is ILLNESS.

Redefining SUCCESS and what it looks like is a difficult thing to do. I have come to realise that what you want and what you need are very different things. Sometimes (all the time) it's just out of our hands anyway. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The things we do for LOVE can be absolutely fucking insane. All rational thinking goes out the window and we become one track minded. We start vomiting behaviour that we would never usually exhibit, punch ourselves in the gut repeatedly and pass the whole thing off as romance. It can be an absolute nightmare and still teach us the most extreme things about ourselves. I hate it and I love it. The best and worst thing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

INSECURITIES. They're incredibly individual and often fucking wild. We love the quirks in others but hate them in ourselves. The way we look should mean little to nothing and yet we hang so much of our worth on aesthetics. It's a waste of energy and a waste of our beautiful selves. Vive La Revolution! Hosted on Acast.
