277. Let's talk about birthday anxiety

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/e3cfe0a5-1eea-4342-ae09-b28b0158f72c/transcript

  We all know exercise is ‘good for us’, but why is it that a walk can calm your brain, why a workout can feel like emotional release, or why movement can become either self-care or self-punishment. In this episode, we unpack the psychology of exercise – what’s happening to our brains over time, where the ‘exercise as antidepressants’ claim came from, and what happens when it crosses into obsession.

We explore:
•        The role of endorphins and endocannabinoids
•        How movement can regulate our emotions
•        Identity and motivation in exercise
•        How exercise changes our brains
•        The role of exercise in treating depression
•        How to build a healthier relationship with exercise

398. 5 ways to get unstuck in your 20s 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/f58db796-b066-49f6-9b25-b41400abb4e0/transcript

When we think about office politics, you might think gossip, favouritism, or power plays - the kind of behind-the-scenes drama that makes work feel draining. But office politics isn’t just about one-upmanship or ambition. At its core, it’s a very human process: how people build trust, navigate competition, and influence decisions in the workplace.

In this episode, we break down the ‘unwritten’ dynamics of office politics - why they exist, how they affect your daily work life, and what you can do to navigate them without compromising your values.

We explore:
•        The types of influence and power at work that you can leverage for yourself
•        Why office politics feels inevitable
•        How to recognise unspoken rules and social dynamics
•        Advice on office gossip
•        The 5 things you should be doing at work to get ahead (ethically)

If you want to go into the office with less dread and more clarity, this episode is for you.
