Lockdown 2.0, Lack of Motivation and Moving OUT
Moving OUT of my family home in the middle of a pandemic...am i crazy?! Or am I finally #adulting? Lockdown 2.0 has been a weirdly anxious one for me, Ive found myself lost in confusion and lacking motivation in comparison to the first lockdown. But we move, literally and I talk through some of the ways ive coped.
Dating APPrehension (with Sorrel Nixon and Katie Crombie)
Do you ever find yourself in a constant cycle of download, delete, repeat? Or are you an avid dating app enthusiast? I'm joined by my two close friends, Sorrel and Katie, to unpick the highs and lows of dating apps, the effects that they have on individuals and in society as a whole and whether they can create thwarted or unrealistic ideals in finding love. Have Dating Apps made finding 'the one' easier or has it created a whole lot of extra drama in an already complicated arena?
Recognising the reality of Racism (with Dami Edun) - Part 2
In this two-part episode, I chat to my friend, fellow podcaster and upcoming author Dami Edun about the subtle forms of racism that still exist in the UK today and how we all have a long way to go in breaking down and understanding racist behaviour. We talk about the guilt that a lot of us will have faced in the last few months and how we can sit with that uncomfortable feeling and accept it to allow us to be better allies. It's okay to not get it right all of the time and regardless of how you choose to take a stand, learning to acknowledge mistakes and listening to those who have lived experiences can help in driving change and bringing communities closer together.
