To our Psychology sista's and mista's, welcome to episode 3 “Birth, baby and becoming - understanding the psychological side of birth”, we want to acknowledge that it is a privilege to carry and birth a healthy baby.

We go explore the many complex psychological processes around birth such as:
Fear!!!
The conflict of birth being natural but feels like a crisis
Pressure to do birth "right" e.g. natural
Identity and parts of yourself you are meeting

Welcome to The Psychology Mamas – a podcast series brought to you by the Psychology Sisters dedicated to understanding the psychological journey of parenthood.
Before we dive into this episode, we want to acknowledge that it is a privilege to have the choice of conceiving a child.
We acknowledge our own bias's, privilege and agency in the disclosures we share during this episode.
We understand this episode does not speak to all of the layering and nuances in this conversation such as sex, culture, religion, experiences of infertility, oppressed and marginalised communities and economics that intersect and compound this decision.
To have children or to not have children?
In this ep we dive into the following:
Our hope for you as you journey through this era with us, is to create a safe space for you to explore this conversation honestly and openly and to deepen your understanding of what impacts your decision making when it comes to whether or not we choose to be parents. So that you don't feel so alone in the fear, pressure and overwhelm of trying to make life changing decision.

Hellllloooooo psycho sista's and mista's!!
We have the marvellous Maddie back on the pod today to talk all things understanding your own red flags!!
But First! Maddie shares a slithery pit with us!
We often talk about red flags in relationships and friendships, but rarely do we open a discussion around red flags in ourselves and that’s exactly what we are here to do today!
This episode is not about labelling certain behaviours as wrong or bad or toxic. It’s more about deepening our own understanding of self and our red flags can be used as important signals of information that we might be out of alignment with our values, that we need to feel safer or more authentic with self and others, Or they’re sometimes part of old memory systems remind you to have limited interaction with a person.
This is about growing our capacity to show up better for ourselves and to improve the quality of connection we’re experiencing.
Red flags in ourselves: It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me,
1.Avoidance
2.You rely on others and external sources for worth: If you’re constantly looking for validation and if you feed off of others’ good views about you, you will always be looking for gratification on the outside and never find it within.
3.You struggle to communicate
5.Criticising and putting ourselves or others down
6.Boundaries only going one way – controlling behaviour or needing to be in complete control.
7.Struggle to apologise, take responsibility and own your part
8.Assumptions
Consider the perspective of, what can I learn here? What is this trying to teach me?
This red flag I'm experiencing, what direction is it going to guide me in? and can I use my red flags as that, signposts and signals to re-direct.
We hope you enjoy!
Aimee, Kat + Maddie

Hello hello and welcome back to another episode with Maddie!!
We are deep diving into grief!!
Grief is coming to terms with a huge empty space of something that you have lost – that cannot be replicated.
And it’s a necessary process to come to terms with loss
-Your grief is unique and it is yours – your relationship to loss is as unique as your finger print. There are no two the same
-It’s universal and intensely personal
-There is no formula for grief and there is no such thing as the right way to mourn someone
-Grief is long. Not in the same intensity. It changes as you grow around it.
-a process that can include ambivalent feelings. Relief and anger can be mixed with love and grief. Joy and sorrow
- grief is relearning how to experience the world of relationship, at a time of emotional turmoil.
-Grief can also reweave life and meaning.
- All grief is valid.
Here is the Ted Talk Maddie was speaking about:
Nora McInerny: We don't "move on" from grief. We move forward with it | TED Talk
We hope you enjoyed this episode,
Maddie, Aimee + Kat

Hellllllllllllooooooooo lovely listeners!!
In this episode we answered a listener question that was sent in to our DMs!!
"Why is taking accountability so hard? I'm chronically late, I have a hard time receiving feedback in my personal life, I aware of it I just don't know how to hold myself more accountable."
Accountability is defined as taking ownership and responsibility for one's actions, decisions, and outcomes. It is a critical component of personal growth and development, as well as building and maintaining healthy relationships.
Taking accountability is an essential part of personal and professional growth.
However, it can be challenging for some people due to fear of failure, blame-shifting, low emotional intelligence, low self-esteem, or fear of negative consequences.
By taking accountability for our actions, we can build stronger relationships, improve our self-esteem, and become better versions of ourselves.
My favourite quote of all time - We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we created our world. – Gabor Mate
Our stories and unconscious narratives and assumptions that we hold can be major blocks in our capacity to take accountability. We are responding from active defence mechanisms!!

Hello and welcome back to another episode featuring our marvellous Maddie!!
We are noticing that a lot of people are struggling with an identity crisis earlier in life.
This can look like:
-This can be a painful struggle of internal conflicts and existential crisis
-It can feel like chronic unfulfillment even though you seemingly have everything
-Things that used to give you joy no longer do
-Urgent need for drastic big life changes
-Re-evaluating your life
-Feeling restless and anxious
-Boredom or discontent; desiring a stronger sense of purpose in life
-Entering a period of transition and change
-Anger, irritability
-Impulsive decision-making
-Resentment about childhood and parents
It is a crisis of meaning and a time when the societal rules and expectations misalign with our values and sense of fulfilment.
We hope you enjoy!
A, K & M

Trigger warning: this episode discusses falling pregnant naturally and pregnancy.
This episode discusses grief around identity and processing falling pregnant and the change and uncertainty of this process.
If this is triggering for you in anyway please skip this episode.
This episode is also a very emotional, tender and vulnerable one.
Hello lovely listeners.
We have a very raw and vulnerable episode for you this morning. This is our last episode of the year! We are taking a break and we'll be back in your ears next year.
Initially this episode was going to be an end of year wrap up - it turned into something very different to say the least.
Kat shares a very special announcement. We unpack everything around this huge stage in life.
Aimee share's some reflections from the year.
Pregnancy is often considered a joyous and exciting time. Grief can be a confusing and unwelcome visitor in a time often filled with anticipation.
We hope this allows one person that might be experiencing something similar to feel seen, heard and understood.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your support on our tiny poddy this year. We can't wait to bring you more deep dives on all things psychology in 2024!!
Lots of love,
Aimee + Kat

Happy Thursday lovely listeners - strap yourselves in!
We are back with the marvellous Maddie to deep dive into the hidden impact of stressors building up and savage self-care!!
But first! What is our pit and peak? What is the 411!?
The wonderful Maddie shares a delightful up-chuck story of Alfie, her fur baby.
Aimee shares the chaotic reflections of a busy mind and body in her week that was!
Kat shares another journey involving our favourite combination - self-deprecation and dessert!!
We explore:
What are micro stressors?
How does this impact us?
What is the compounding effect?
Does hustle culture have something to answer for here? We get validation from constantly working and striving - therefore being stressed is evidence of hard-work, right?
The effects of chronic stress on our body and mind.
Can rest become something we fear?
Savage Self-care
If this is me, what can I do about it? We share some hard truths that might be helpful.
Join us to find out more!
We hope you enjoy :)

Hello and welcome back to another episode!
Psychology is often about relationships and how we navigate them!
We have Maddie joining us to deep dive into normal doubts in relationship Vs ROCD
We look to our partners to be everything for us nowadays and this can be an incredibly burden on the relationship and leave us feeling chronically dissatisfied.
It is very normal to have doubts and questions around our relationships.
But when does this turn into something more chronic?
What is ROCD?
It is a theme of OCD that focuses on and causes incessant disruption of thoughts of if you are in the right relationship, it fixates on most often romantic relationships but can extend to friendships and even pets too!
It is like constantly temperature checking your relationship!
We hope you enjoy!

Hello and welcome back to another episode!
Why are we talking about the blahs?
Let us paint you a picture.
You feel different. Tired.
You’re not exactly sad or distressed, but you couldn’t describe yourself as thriving either.
Anhedonia refers to the reduced ability to experience pleasure, it’s not burnout, still had energy. Its not depression. We just felt blah.
You have all of the things that you want and you’re doing all the things you “should” do but you just don’t get to experience joy.
We are talking about the middle ground or the grey area of mental health today – rather than the two opposite swings of the pendulum – happiness and depression – we are talking about the blahs and languishing - when you feel lackluster or disconnected, but you’re not in notable distress because that is the reality of where a lot of us are at the moment!
Our mission is always to invite people to understand normal psychological experiences and I think anhedonia or a case of the blah’s or mehs is something a lot of us experience but maybe don’t necessarily understand.
Blasting the Blahs
People get bored of talking about mindfulness and nature and self-care because we know it and hear it so often, but these are the mitigating factors in the reward pathway that are so effective at blasting the blahs!!
We hope you enjoy!

Happy Thursday lovely listeners!
We are back in your ears to deep dive into the universal pain of rejection.
Why are we talking about rejection?
Because it is a universal pain and it causes absolute havoc on us.
Our biology and the biology of our nervous system is modulated by the people in our lives. When we fear rejection, we run the danger of becoming people pleasers and abandoning ourselves.
Being repeatedly rejected as a child can lead to a belief that you’re inadequate. And these false beliefs add to the pain of being rejected and can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
We perceived rejection when we experience events such as not being included, accepted or approved of. Rejection in relationships happens when we have revealed parts of ourselves to others, and that part has been dismissed, or we have been perceived as not meeting a type of standard in some way.
Most types of rejection can feel brutal, especially since they go against our instinctive desire to belong, to feel seen and valued and respected as a human being.
In short, rejection is a sucky but normal part of our existence, which is why it's so important to understand + learn to look after this experience.
In this ep we chat through:
We hope you enjoy :)

What is the good girl syndrome?
‘Be quiet, sit still, don’t take up space and look pretty’ – the good girl narrative often makes women feel guilty for being human.
In this episode we explore how:
• getting approval from other people follows girls from childhood to adulthood
• the good girl syndrome teaches girls/ women from a young age to sacrifice their own wants for others
• embodying the “good girl” complex disconnects girls/women from their authenticity and safety to express themselves
• the good girl syndrome leads to feeling frustrated and resentful
• how women/ girls often feel the weight of responsibility for others
We hope you enjoy!

Howdy howdy listeners!
Welcome back to another episode in which we are talking all things self-esteem.
How you feel about yourself impacts how you live your life.
We get a lot of messages that we should be working on our self-esteem, yet we are also told that it is arrogant to think to highly of ourselves - so which one is it? Where is the line?
Join us as we unpack the conflicting messages around self-esteem, narcissism and what it all means.
We hope you enjoy,
Aimee + Kat

We dive into:
- What is attachment theory?
- Attachment in relation to childhood
- Brief overview of the four styles
- Pop psychology misconceptions
- Adult attachment and how it impacts dating
We hope you love this episode,
Aimee, Maddie + Kat

Howdy friends!
This episode hit us in the feels, big time!
Why do friendships change?
We feel that this is such an under discussed topic which has such a profound impact on our well-being.
Join us as we discuss the painful reality of changing friendships!
We discuss the experience of grief that accompanies changing friendships.
The voluntary nature of friendship makes it subject to life’s ebbs and flows in a way that more formal relationships aren’t.
Natural maturation: In adulthood we pour time and energy into jobs, marriage and families.
Friendships change over time because we evolve and change over time, our sense of self also changes and so do our needs.
-This is where we will tend to see uneven balance of “friendship investments”
-I also think this is where we may tend to see shifts in ourselves for what we are willing to tolerate – as we mature we tend to be better at setting boundaries etc
-Learned loneliness: we have adapted to being disconnected and people are not putting themselves out there as much – we have habituated to being more alone.
Vulnerability – vulnerability creates friendships, and it sustains them.
Attachment injury and our internal maps create stories of how we love and relate to people.
So it’s not that people who are securely attached never struggle with relationships, it’s that their perception of relationships is optimistic as opposed to negative or unsafe – people who are secure essentially assume that their friends like them because they have learnt that they can address problems with safe responses.
Close adult friendships are so important to our sense of self and this requires a special kind of nurturance.
We hope you LOVE this episode!
Kat+ Aimee
Reflection Questions:
1. What doesn't feel okay for me in this situation?
2. What is the assumption I have around this?
3. Where in my body am I noticing sensations coming up?
4. If I dig deeper, what might I be afraid to be honest about?
5. What does this say about me?
6. What other reasons could be the case?

Howdy howdy from Aimee, Kat and Maddie!
Welcome back to another episode in which we are talking all things Imposter Syndrome.
Are we all just faking it?!
Impostor syndrome (IS) is a psychological phenomenon in which you feel like you don’t deserve your accomplishments, like you don’t belong, don’t deserve your success, or are “out of place.” You feel constantly worried others will expose you as a fraud and that you have to work harder to mask your underlying inadequacy.
This episode was so wonderful as we share our clinical views on IS to help you understand it's function and how to start owning your success.
We recommend starting with our first episode on IS here:

Hello!
We are back in your ears for the first episode of 2023 talking about the creeping cost of living and it's impact on our mental health.
Before we dive in to the episode we catch up on our holidays and discuss the launch of our brand spanking new e-course. We are so excited to bring this to our audience (more info in links below)
We know that mental health and money problems are often intricately linked.
When it comes to the cost of living in 2022, Australia is currently listed as the country with the 16th highest cost of living in the world.
Increase cost of living can create stress, leading to ongoing anxiety, lead to greater vulnerability to mood disorders, and promote the withdrawal from the things that actually help our mental wellbeing (such as socialising, hobbies, exercise, nutritionally dense foods, safety)
How can we help ourselves through this stressful time?
In this ep we deep dive into the emotional and psychological toll of the creeping cost of living and some ways which can help.
We would like to thank today's sponsors for making this episode possible.

We hope you enjoy today's ep

Hello lovely listeners,
We are back in your ears for the last episode of the year talking all things self-awareness.
Self awareness is an incredibly beneficial tool to be able to process emotions, deepen relationships with others and self and move through difficult times. Culturally we see self-awareness as a good thing and with the huge rise in personal development, we know it is so popular to seek self-help.
But can we have too much self awareness? At what point does too much introspection create dysunfction and is actually detrimental?
In this ep we deep dive into why and how self-awareness can actually function to create avoidance, dismissal of emotion and lack of trust in self. Essentially creating a self-awareness trap.
We hope you enjoy!
Also a HUGE thanks for your support this year, we are so appreciative of every one of you who listen, download and share. We see you and we are so grateful to be able to help at least one listener. We wish you a wonderful, gentle and fun festive season.

Hello friends,
We are back in your ears for another deep dive episode!
This week we were toooo ambitious with our time (classic!) so we have decided to turn this ep into a two-part series, and we're focusing all things long-term relationships.
After the honeymoon period the dust begins to settle, our serotonin + dopamine regulates back to normal, our desire for sex with our partner changes, their annoying habits emerge and the cracks of monotony begin to show. All this often leaves us feeling a bit *bleh*
We may compare our new found monotony to other's relationship, and wonder, is my relationship reallllly all that great?
In this episode, we bust some myths around LT relationships to understand and normalise some very human phases + experiences to go through with your partner. We explore fantasising about others, fighting fair + how to cope when you don't get along with your partners friends or family.
Because there is so much left to say, we will be back in a few weeks to finish part two.
We hope you enjoy!

Hello friends!
Today we have a very insightful and important conversation to share with you all.
We are delighted to have Dr Sarah Ashton (psychologist, founder + director of SHIPS psychology in Melbourne) on this episode, who answers some of our listener questions around 'How to know if you're enjoying sex'.
Sarah has presented her research on pornography at Australian and international conferences, is a published author in prestigious journals, regularly writes articles for The Conversation, and has stared as a guest on Podcasts Sex Bi The Bi, ABC radio, Triple J - The Hook Up, Equity Mates podcast Meet Pay Love, and Ladies We Need to Talk. She is also the Coordinator for the Victorian Sexual and Mental Health Network. Sarah sees reducing shame around sexuality as her personal and professional purpose.
Sarah shares her insight into sex and intimacy and we hope that this conversation normalises some of the questions and fears we may have around sex and intimacy.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!

Hello lovely listeners!
We are back in your ears on this fine autumn morning (apologies for the lateness of this), with our new Ten Minute Tuesdays, where we get straight into a deep dive episode.
Obviously in our true Aimee + Kat fashion, we couldn't keep to the ten minute mark, but we feel there is a lot to discuss with anger.
We answer the following questions:
- What is the function of anger?
- How anger acts as a coping mechanism
- The difference between anger vs aggression
- Are some of us more vulnerable than others to experiencing anger?
- When does anger become a problem?
- What to do when you feel angry + strategies that may help to manage this powerful emotion.
We hope you enjoy,

We also answer a listener question on looking after an empath's mental health.

Welcome back to part two of our mindfulness + relaxation episodes for #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
We're in an extremely stressful climate, and there's no better time to focus on being more mindful and in the present, and less mindless and far away.
To celebrate #mentalhealthawarenessmonth this May, we have decided to take you guys through a guided mindfulness exercise we use consistently with our clients to decrease feelings of anxiety, stress, depression, overwhelm and mindlessness. Backed by neuroscience, mindfulness exercises are an incredibly effective way to treat a plethora of psychological + somatic concerns.
Listen to Kat's soothing voice to take you through a guided mindfulness script. Not as vague as it sounds, we promise!
If you want to go straight to the exercise, please skip to 8: 45 minutes.
Sit back, and enjoy the ride!

Hello lovely listeners!
It's Tuesday again, which means another episode from us 🙌🏽
Although not just any episode, we have a very special guest joining us today. In the spirit of Mental Health Awareness Month we have decided to do something a little different this month and introduce some guest speakers and new episode formats.
In today's episode, we have asked our lovely colleague Carl, a psychologist who works mainly with adolescents and young men to discuss men's mental health and why he thinks it is so hard for men to open up.
We answer all your listener questions from supporting a partner with depression, to male body image and why men seem to get over breakups faster than females.
We hope you enjoy :)

Hello lovely listeners!
We hope you are surviving lockdown and self- isolation.
We thought we'd take a quick break from COVID-19 discussions to bring you a distraction into childhood trauma.
In this ep, we delve deep into what childhood trauma looks like, the different types of trauma, how trauma can manifest into our current day behaviours, cognitions (self-talk) and how this can impact on relationships.
Aimee is our expert in this field and sprinkles her wisdom like fairy dust into trauma informed therapy and ways to seek help.
We also answer some listener questions into dealing with trauma and managing resentment towards parents.
We hope you enjoy this episode :)

Hello everyone!
This episode has been a very highly requested episode from you guys, we are talking about a 2020 glow up on our bodies and the radical self-acceptance we encourage you guys to try this year.
We talk alllllll things body positivity, body acceptance and ways to love your body, we delve into where low self-esteem and body confidence can come from, what messages we are constantly sent and why we unconsciously continue to accept them. We discuss automatic negative thoughts and why it’s important to tune into these to turn into neutral and positive statements
We also discuss whether plastic/cosmetic surgery + body acceptance can co-exist, and in the Fast and the Curious we discuss whether large corporations should be responsible for the messages they send their audiences and whether their narrative of body positivity is completely innocent.
We also answer a listener question on whether you are able to go on a diet healthily without developing disordered eating behaviours + cognitions.

Hello lovely listeners.
As this weekend is the celebration of our LGBTQIA+ community with Mardi Gras, we thought it was incredibly helpful to unpack all things gender and sexuality, and why it's so incredible important to know pronouns, acronyms and develop understanding of the LGBTQI community, especially in 2020.
We also discuss ways to be a good ally and support the people in our life who may identify with the LGBTQI community. We also explore how to seek a good therapist if seeking individual support for LGBTQI concerns.
We also answer a listener question on remaining body positive when surrounded by friends who are not.
We hope you enjoy!

Ahhh yes, heartbreak.
The gut-wrenching, heart-exploding, stomach-dropping feeling that is heartbreak. Your heart feels like it's been ripped out of your chest and you just want to crawl into a hole and live there forever.
In this episode we divulge the scientific, evolutionary and psychological response to heart break, and why it hits us SO hard, and why our physiological responses are slowing down the process of moving on.
We propose a self- healing toolkit + scientifically proven strategies to help with the recovery process, involving a whole lotta netflix, chocolate and burning of clothes.
We also introduce our new segment, The Fast and The Curious where we break down the latest and important news stories of the week, this week it's the moral minefield and the total disregard of the duty of care of Married at First Sight's 'relationship experts'.
We also answer our listener q + a's on boundaries with an ex, and supporting a friend who keeps going back to THAT person.
We hope you enjoy this weeks episode!

Hello fam!
In this episode we discuss why we fail at New Years Resolutions and offer some handy tips and tricks to stay on track. We also discuss why many factors such as previous resolutions, enjoyment, pleasure, personality types and importance of a resolution may predict our adherence to our goals.
We also acknowledge why sometimes New Years resolutions are too idealistic, and perhaps getting out of bed each morning and surviving day-to-day is goals enough. Maybe a New Year means nothing has to change and that is more than enough.
We hope you enjoy!

Hello lovely listeners,
Given the tragic Christmas period Australia faced, we thought it was extremely important to discuss the common psychological responses to natural disasters. We discuss how the bushfires and natural disasters in general, can have a chronic psychological effect on those impacted directly and indirectly.
In this episode we divulge different types of trauma, dealing with helplessness, fear and the grief cycle.
We've had to split this episode up into two parts given the immensity of this topic.

Hello + happy Tuesday our divine listeners!
This is our last episode for the year + a festive one at that!
We answer some of your questions you all so thoughtfully sent through via our instagram @thepsychologysisters and discuss a plethora of issues, from procrastination at Uni, to dealing with anger, to toxic relationships within the workplace + how to deal when you hate letting people down.
We hope you enjoyed our first season - and we will be back, bigger, badder + nerdier next season.
Also, as we are an independent podcast it would mean the world to us if you review us on iTunes and subscribe on Spotify and iTunes. This helps to get the word out about mental health + can hopefully finds its way into the ears of many more who may need support (especially over the Christmas break).
Christmas can be incredibly lonely and stressful for some, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 if you need someone to talk to over the break.
Merry Christmas + a Happy New Years from Aimee + Kat

Hello lovely people!
Happy Tuesday!
In today's episode we discuss grief, loss and bereavement as well as exploring each stage of the Kubler-Ross 5 stages of grief. We uncover why the bereavement period can be an incredibly emotional time can feel so unbearable and can affect all parts of your everyday life.
We explore why grief isn't always just passing of a loved one, but can also be loss of a pet, acquaintance, relationship break up, loss of a job or house or any major change.
We discuss the attachment perspective of grief + loss, and cite some helpful strategies to help yourself others going through grief + loss.

Hello lovely listeners!
Ah yes, you've probably all shamefully taken those personality Facebook quizzes - which snack am I? Which Friends character would I mostly likely be? Which animal am I?
As humans we all delight in knowing our personality and what clean cut box we fit into. There's a sense of shared camaraderie with others who share the same personality and we usually may conflict with those who share opposite traits.
In this episode we divulge into different personality theories such as Type A vs. Type B, introvert vs. extrovert, the Big 5, the 16 Personality types + the Riso-Hudson Enneagram
and discuss why we like to fit into a category and where our personality comes from. We also discuss the changing nature of personalities and how our parents and guardians have a significant impact on our personalities. We explore why so many personality theories are flawed and why our often changing and evolving personalities can't really ever fit into a clear cut neat little box.
Take the online personality tests here
the 16 Personality types (https://www.16personalities.com/)
the Riso-Hudson Enneagram (https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/rheti
We also discuss a question from our lovely listener about the anxiety provoked by attending a high school reunion.

Hello lovely listeners! Happy Tuesday!
We had a request from a lovely listener who asked us to discuss the male experience of mental health. Also in the spirit of Movember - we thought it was an extremely important topic to put at the top of our list.
In this episode, we dive deep into why toxic masculinity makes it so incredibly difficult for men to open up, and we explore why it is so imperative that we allow a safe space for men to open up. We also offer insight into why men (stereotypically) tend to internalise and project their emotions into risk taking behaviours, aggression, addiction etc.
We offer some ideas + strategies into how to support mates, brothers, partners, fathers etc. who may be suffering from mental health.

Weight gain, acne, nausea. We hear so often about the physical side effects of the contraceptive Pill, but what about the psychological and emotional side effects? We might think ‘I’m moody or sad but it’s just me’ but is there more to it?
How much impact can the Pill have on our mental health? Is this medically recognised or even discussed with your doctor? In this episode Aimee and Kat explore just how that little white pill can wreak havoc on your neurotransmitters and serotonin levels, and believe us, it’s not just you.

Ever looked around and thought 'Am I weird?' 'Does anyone else think these silly thoughts or do these funny little things, or is that just me?'
In this episode Aimee and Kat explore abnormal vs. normal thoughts, behaviours, reactions etc and discuss why it's so damn hard to define in the extremely complex, messy and multi-dimensional world of psychology and mental health.
We answer ALL of our lovely listeners questions about whether their behaviour/ cognitions are 'weird' or absolutely normal. Have a little listen you may be pleasantly surprised to find you're not completely weird after all

We explore the dating + honeymoon period, to the next stage where the rose coloured glasses may come off to reveal the annoying habits of your partner.

Do you ever sit at work/uni and sometimes feel like everyone knows what they're doing except you?
Do you ever feel like you've been faking it til you make it, and at any time someone is going to knock down your door and expose you to be a fraud?
This is what we call the Imposter Syndrome.
We delve into who is more likely to experience this phenomenon, why we experience it, where we are more likely to feel like this, and of course, how to combat feeling like a phoney.
We divulge personal experiences to help make you feel a little better and remind you that you 100% deserve to be wherever you are
