    111 - The Anxious Achiever: When Anxiety Becomes Your Superpower (and Your Saboteur)

    From the outside, it can look like you've got it all together. You're productive. Reliable. Driven. Always thinking three steps ahead. But underneath it all? You're exhausted. In this episode of Tickety Boo, we explore the world of the anxious achiever — the person whose anxiety helps them succeed, solve problems, and stay ahead… but can also leave them trapped in overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, and the constant need to stay in control. We talk about: When anxiety is helpful and when it becomes harmful Why some of the most successful people are driven by fear rather than confidence The hidden cost of always being "on" How control can become a coping mechanism And what happens when your self-worth becomes tied to achievement Because anxiety is a strange thing. It can help you build a business, raise a family, hit goals, and get things done. But if you're not careful, it can also convince you that slowing down isn't safe. If you've ever felt like you're constantly chasing the next thing, solving the next problem, or carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, this episode will resonate. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy

    110 - Maybe You're Not Lost… Maybe It's Just Not Your Time Yet

    How much of life is actually about timing? In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about those moments where life feels off — when you end up in the wrong job, the wrong relationship, the wrong environment… and you can feel deep down that something isn't quite right. But instead of listening to it, we often force it. Push harder. Try to make it work. Try to keep up with other people's timelines and chapters. We talk about: Why forcing life usually creates more struggle The pressure of comparing your journey to everyone else's How some paths look right on paper but feel completely wrong inside And why sometimes the biggest shift happens when you finally get out of your own way Because maybe you're not behind. Maybe you're just trying to live a chapter that was never yours to begin with. This one's reflective, honest, and full of those moments that make you stop and think about where you are… and where you're actually trying to get to. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy

    109 - The Advice People Ask Us For Most (And Why Most Never Start)

    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. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy

    108 - Things That Become Weirdly Important as You Get Older

    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. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy

    107 - The House I Didn't Build: The Patterns You Inherited

    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. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy

    106 - What Is the Meaning of Life? (We Pulled This Card…)

    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. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy

    105 - The Quiet Resentments We Don't Admit

    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. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy

    104 - The Parts of Me I Don't Let People See

    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. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy
