• Contacting Friends: We have no excuse!
    Feb 23 2026

    We live in a world of instant messaging, yet many of us still struggle to reach out to friends we've often not spoken to in years!

    In this episode, I explore why, despite WhatsApp and social media making contact easier than ever (and free, remember when we used phone bills as the reason we couldn't call?), friendships can still drift. I discuss the psychology behind hesitation, modern communication habits, and whether we need to make the effort, even when the other side doesn't. #LTAM

    Mar 4 2025

    We’re often told that work should be our passion, our purpose, and our primary source of fulfilment. But what happens when it doesn’t quite tick every box?
