  • 377. Why do we resist change?
    Jan 22 2026

    When we move through our 20s, it can feel like everyone else is making big, brave moves - new cities, new jobs, new relationships - while we’re stuck in the same place, overthinking every possible outcome. Change sounds good in theory, but in practice? It’s terrifying. In today’s episode, we dig into why we resist change, and what it actually takes to move forward even when part of you wants to stay the same.

    We explore:
    • Why change feels so overwhelming in our 20s
    • How loss aversion keeps us clinging to ‘fine but not right’ situations
    • What we really lose by staying the same
    • Why some of the best, most aligned decisions are also the scariest
    • How to build a more compassionate, positive mindset around change
    • Practical ways to take action with your fear, instead of waiting for it to disappear

    If you’re stuck in the loop of wanting change, but being scared to action it, this episode is for you.

  • 376. 7 tips for moving to a new country in your 20s
    Jan 19 2026

    Moving to a new city is one of the most exciting (and emotionally challenging) things you can do in your twenties. Whether it’s for work, study, love, or a fresh start, leaving behind what’s familiar often brings a mix of freedom, fear, loneliness, and growth all at once. It’s a rite of passage, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

    In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience of moving cities multiple times in my 20s, including moving internationally for the first time, alongside the psychology that explains why this transition feels so destabilising—and what actually helps.

    We explore:
    • Why moving increases stress, emotional exhaustion, and homesickness
    • Why it takes around 6 months to truly adjust to a new city
    • The role of routine, repetition, and place attachment in feeling settled
    • Why “going home too often” can slow down adjustment
    • How novelty, social effort, and structure protect mental health during transitions

    If you’ve just moved, or are thinking about it, this episode will help you feel less alone, more grounded, and more confident that what you’re feeling is normal, temporary, and part of the process.

  • 375. The psychology of friendship trios
    Jan 15 2026

    Navigating friendship in your 20s is already complicated – so what happens when we add a third person into the mix? The group chat might be buzzing, there’s always someone to talk to, and belonging to a group of three can feel like a safe space. But what happens when two start getting closer, plans are made without you, or you’re constantly wondering if you’re the extra one?

    In today’s episode, we unpack the psychology of friendship trios - why they feel so special, when they can hurt, and how to tell the difference between a rough patch and a dynamic that’s genuinely not good for you.

    We explore:

    • The beauty of a friendship trio
    • Friendship dyads vs triads
    • The role of Simmelian ties
    • When imbalances start to show (alliances, jealousy and feeling like the ‘third wheel’)
    • What healthy trio dynamics actually look like (and how to achieve it)
    • Hot to know when it’s time to step back

    If you’re navigating this nuanced aspect of friendship, this episode is for you.
