    What is running really for? Ft. Runna coach and founder of Mafia Moves Andre Coggins

    We all know running has had a major surge in popularity over the last couple of years, but it’s also more than just a trend. This week, we get to hear Andre Coggins’, coach of Runna and founder of running community Mafia Moves, take on what running has done for him. Andre has not only achieved incredible heights, running marathons and coaching people along the way, but he’s creating community, he’s sharing his story, and he’s representing the underrepresented. It’s a conversation about adventure, community, and appreciating what your body can do for you - something we all need to be reminded of. We talk about what it means to be runner and how there’s no one blueprint for the ‘perfect’ runner. We touch on Andre’s top tips for getting into it, enjoying it, staying consistent… give it a listen, and hear about how running is more than just running.

    Listen to this if you’re struggling to feel grateful right now: how to date yourself

    The colder months are gradually wrapping themselves around us, and while it is a season of cosy films, festivities and warm, hot drinks, it can also be a time that brings its challenges. If you’re finding it difficult to find things to be grateful for at the moment, this could be just the episode you need right now. Gratitude is one of the most important things in life, I believe. It helps us appreciate things, it helps us keep moving forward, and it reminds us, even in our hardest moments, that there is always something to keep us going. It’s a way to romanticise your life, and love spending time with yourself and in your community, so, with that being said, maybe grab a little notepad and pen, and jot down a couple things you hear today that you might find helpful! Whether it’s ways to practice gratitude, prompts for learning to ‘date yourself’ or how to connect with your community - this one is all about the positive vibes. Sending love!

    Is solo travel worth it? Ft. Catalina

    Solo travelling… it’s something you hear about so much but often find yourself ‘umming’ and ‘ahhing’ about. It looks cool but, can I do it? Where do I get the funds? Is it worth it? Today, with special guest Cat, we answer these kinds of questions and more, as she gives us her insight into the importance of exploration, travelling and the impact it has had on her life. I touch on my solo travels in Italy, but we also give advice for female safety, and learning about the culture of where you are visiting. Maybe this will be your sign to book that flight.

    Multiculturalism and its importance in society

    It’s solo episode time! In today’s episode I delve into one of my biggest passions: multiculturalism. It’s something I love to ramble on about, something I’ve been researching, reading and talking about all summer, and what I discussed in my first episode of this podcast’s relaunch. Here, I all about how multiculturalism as a concept is fundamental and integral to society, and how without it, we have little else. How diversity is something to be embraced, celebrated, championed, rather than used as a tool for hierarchy. Enjoy! #multiculturalism #politics #nationalism

    The truth behind study abroad, ft. Delyth and Jacob

    Is a year abroad worth it? Well, today I have your answer. Student guests Delth and Jacob give their respective takes on their years abroad in this episode, both spending a year in France but doing completely different things. While Jacob got to experience student-life in another country, Delyth went the occupational route, finding herself behind the teacher’s desk for a change, instead of in front. We get to hear their advice on preparing, what to expect, the highs and lows and so much more. Maybe this episode won’t tell you what you should or should not do, but it’ll give you a better picture of what you can expect, how to make the most of it, and, if you have the opportunity, just go for it!

    London Fashion Week as a journalist, model and designer (ft. Nika and Linxi Zhu)

    London Fashion Week?!?! You read that right! This September (2025) I got to attend the Flair Fashion event on behalf of my own podcast (this!) and so much of that is thanks to those of you tuning in. From the bottom of my heart I feel so grateful, so I thought it would only be right to upload an episode talking about my experience, and hearing the model and designer perspectives too. Tune in to hear Nika talk all about how the night panned out for her, the behind the scenes of prep and getting ready before hitting the stage, and everything that went into prepping the designs for Linxi Zhu’s collection. It’s a long one, but a good one, so grab a drink and snack… let’s delve right in.
