A lot of us try to convince ourselves we can be friends with our ex in the immediate aftermath of a breakup, but is that necesserily the best idea? In 2022 I did an episode with my ex-boyfriend talking about how a friendship was totally possible, well since then it is obvious to say that I have changed my mind, and in this episode I give my reasons, including: 
Why we (mistakedly) try to stay friends with our exes 
The types of relationships where this feels possible 
The consequences 
How it impacts our new relationships, self esteem, and ability to find closure
How to be friends with an ex if you MUST BE 
Essential boundaries for a friendship with your ex

This episode is the only time I have redone/revised an episode so we hope you enjoy.

Many of us have been facing increasing levels of political anxiety in the past days and weeks. It seems that the world has never been more divisive and polarised and there is a lot that we are uncertain and fearful of. In today’s episode we talk about how we can acknowledge that the future feels scary, but still find an internal sense of safety and peace, including:
The value of stoic principles and focusing on what you can control
The psychology of a strong belief system
The power of staying present and grounding ourselves
Overcoming doomscrolling and being informed but not overwhelmed
How to talk about politics in a healthy way

I know this time feels very scary and uncertain but I hope this tiny slice of the internet makes you feel safe and seen, love Jemma.
