    Ep. 21. A - Z of Me (kind of)

    In what was supposed to be a warm welcome to my iTunes listeners I put together a ‘get to know me’ episode using the letters of the alphabet. However the reality is I’m not on iTunes but I still went ahead with regular scheduling. Enjoy x

    Ep. 20. Exploring the Friendship Dynamic

    Apologies for the nature of the podcast, it's a bit all over the place as I had to record it in 2 parts as the first time around it felt a bit lackluster. In today’s episode I explore the friendship dynamic, whether there is value in these connections and previous experiences I’ve had in the past. Below are some places that you can go to to meet new people: https://www.meetup.com/ https://www.we3app.com https://www.citysocializer.com/london/meet-friends https://bumble.com/bff https://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/a24799641/best-friendship-apps/ https://www.masmedicalstaffing.com/blog/best-ways-to-meet-new-friends-in-a-new-city/

    Ep. 17. Coping with Loneliness

    Part of the wider spectrum of emotions I wanted to explore loneliness and how I go about dealing with it, especially during the midst of the pandemic and onwards. Hopefully this helps anyone who feels the pangs of loneliness and wants practical advice for how to alleviate it. Don’t forget it’s a natural human emotion and like all emotions, express don’t suppress.  P.S: Thanks to 2 Pencils and a Pad for the new logo!

    Ep. 16. Pt 2 - Going Viral...What’s the Tea?

    Part 2 baby! After my inital episode on viral advertising I have rounded up the findings, tests and conclusion of my dissertation. I was actually impressed by how much research I carried out! I expected this episode to be shorter because it was a follow up however, I also struggled to get my words out on this one lol. If I still did outtakes the amount of extra material I would have had haha. The book I mentioned in the episode is called 'All About Love' by Bell Hooks.
