#72 The Joy of Awe, Comparison and 2am Crosswords with Gemma Styles

We told you we wouldn't be gone for long, didn't we! This week is a *very* special bonus episode with none other than podcaster, activist, mental health ambassador and writer Gemma Styles. With today being publication day of her debut book, Why Am I Like This? We pulled Gemma into our virtual living room and made sure we covered everything from coping with comparison and the spotlight effect, managing authenticity online, setting boundaries and why being a human is actually pretty hard (and joyful, and weird and wonderful- naturally, but CRIKEY it's tricky sometimes). In a turn of events, we also enter what can only be described as our Stressful TV Era, Charlotte is caught off guard by the funeral in Four Weddings (...and a Funeral) and we discuss the best frozen sweet pastry out there (nope, t's not a croissant) and being new to Gru (we'll let you decide if that's cool or not)! If you’d like to make some unstressful TV suggestions (all about balance)- you can email us at [email protected]. We’re also over @thefingeofit and @charlottejacklin and @livpurvis and will see you very soon!Gemma's brilliant book is available from today, and you can pick it up here! https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/why-am-i-like-this-gemma-styles/7665116(also, this is brilliant Lucy we mentioned! https://www.instagram.com/lucysheridan/?hl=en) Hosted on Acast.
