Happyish Ever After

In this deeply honest solo chat, I dive into my personal fascination with true crime — exploring the strange comfort, curiosity, and even control it gives in a chaotic world. From binge-worthy documentaries to chilling podcasts, I unpack why so many of us (myself included!) can't look away from the dark side of human nature. Is it morbid? Is it normal? Join me as I get candid about the allure, the ethical dilemmas, and how true crime became my strange little escape in tough times.

After the dust settles—after the breakup, the baby, the breakdown—what comes next isn't always joy, but something softer, quieter, and just as meaningful.In this episode, Jenny reflects on the happy(ish) moments she never saw coming: a giggle from her son on a rough day, the quiet victory of paying off a loan, blocking the wrong person for the right reasons, and rediscovering the strength that lives in small wins.This one’s for anyone healing, growing, or simply trying to find light in the ordinary. Because sometimes, the best kind of happiness doesn’t shout. It whispers, “You’re doing better than you think.”

In this very first episode of Happy(ish) Ever After, Jenny introduces herself — single mam, comms gal, ex-bride-to-be, and now accidental podcaster. With humour, heart, and a dash of chaos, she shares the real story behind the mic: navigating heartbreak, solo parenting, and finding meaning in the mess. It’s honest, a little bit sweary, and hopefully exactly what you need to hear if life hasn’t quite gone to plan.
