Episode 1 – Welcome to Your Own LifeWelcome to the very first episode of A Glass with Bird.This podcast is a space to slow down, pour yourself a drink, and reconnect with the one voice we often stop listening to — our own.In this opening episode, we explore the quiet ways we drift away from ourselves in everyday life. Not through big dramatic moments, but through small habits like ignoring our instincts, saying yes when we mean no, and pushing our own needs to the bottom of the list.Episode 1 is about recognising those moments and beginning the gentle journey back to yourself.Because coming home to yourself doesn’t happen through huge life changes overnight. It starts with noticing.This episode is also part of Podcasthon, a global initiative where podcasters dedicate an episode to supporting a charity they care about.For this episode, Bird is supporting Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA).SEA works to raise awareness of economic abuse and support people whose finances and independence have been controlled or restricted by someone else.
