This week we’re getting balls deep into the dangerous art of saying “yes” when every cell in your body is begging you to say NO. From agreeing to plans you secretly hope get cancelled, to helping your ex move house just to “keep the peace” — we’ve all been there.

We unpack:
🙃 Saying yes out of guilt, fear, or pure autopilot
😬 Becoming everyone's emotional concierge
🧠 Overthinking one-word replies like your life depends on it
💥 And how to break up with your inner people pleaser (kindly…ish)

Plus: our gold-medal-winning performances in faking fine, a few confessions we maybe regret sharing, and the moment we realised "no" is a full sentence — not a personal attack.

WARNING: This episode may inspire you to set boundaries, cancel things you hate, and finally stop replying “sure!” when you meant “absolutely not.”

In this week’s episode, we’re spiralling — professionally. From sweating over texts to full-blown IKEA meltdowns, we’re unpacking our favourite emotional parasite: anxiety.

We dive into the weirdest symptoms, the chaotic coping mechanisms, and those “am I dying or is this just a vibe?” moments. Plus, we play Anxiety Bingo, expose our unhinged inner monologues, and serve up zero actual medical advice — just dark humour, brutally honest stories, and the illusion of control.

Expect laughs, oversharing, and a quote to keep you company during your next 3am existential spiral.

Because if you're going to fall apart... do it with flair.

In this episode, we’re going deep — emotionally, mentally, and probably too far in general. We’re talking coping mechanisms: the ones that help, the ones that hurt, and the ones that end in questionable texts at 2am.

From “therapeutic” impulse buys to full-blown breakdowns disguised as self-care, we unpack the chaos of how we try to keep it together — with wildly mixed results.

Plus: emotional support situationships, baking during breakdowns, and this week’s quote to overthink until your next mental spiral.

It’s raw, ridiculous, and mildly inappropriate — just how we like it.

Follow, share, and remember: if you're not coping well, at least make it entertaining.

In our very first episode of Balls Deep in Thought, we dive headfirst into the chaos — introducing ourselves, oversharing like pros, and explaining why we decided the world needed one more unhinged mental health podcast.

Expect raw honesty, dodgy advice, some laugh-so-hard-you-snort moments, and the occasional deep thought we probably found on Pinterest.

We talk therapy fails, coping mechanisms that should be illegal, and share this week’s dangerously relatable quote.

It’s messy. It’s real. It’s everything your group chat was too scared to say out loud.

Follow, share, and prepare to go balls deep… in thought.

Welcome to balls deep in thought! We are your hosts Josh and Harriet and this is our podcast where we go balls deep in feelings. Fasten your seat belts and be prepared for a roller coaster of emotions.
