    What will happen to your brain abroad? Managing mental health in London.

    A heavier episode this week, but maybe the most important one to date! In this week's episode, I get into the nitty gritty of what makes living in London so tough on your mental health. While you've no doubt seen people's highlight reels, it's unlikely you've heard much about the isolation and low mood that can come with managing life abroad. Fear not though, in this episode I share some tools that helped me make it through, and flag what might show up for you so that you can feel as prepared as possible ahead of your move! A note too the audio quality is a bit off in this episode, so please forgive my many POPS - back to regular programming next week!

    What to expect from summer in London

    This week we crack the case on a summer in London, figuring out what exactly it is that makes the city so magical at this time of the year, how high the temperatures actually climb, and how to stay cool in a city that doesn't believe in aircon. Plus, the time I walked 45,000 steps at a music festival, mispronouncing the band Haim, and I cancel myself by asking if it would kill the staff at Sports Direct to smile. A ramble of an ep, but one I hope gets you hyped for your first UK summer. THINGS WE DISCUSS All Points East Hackney Wick Crate Dog Park The Bill Murray The Myddleton Arms Sports Direct
