Should've Gone to Therapy

We’re back, and so is Nana, with a very big life update. In Episode 18, the boys catch up after the break and dive into Nana’s new chapter: fatherhood. From sleepless nights to what’s changed most, we get into how he’s adjusting and what the early days of being a dad really feel like.Naturally, Cookie gets pulled into the deep end too with some honest thoughts on his own future and whether kids are part of it.Then… it gets weird.To understand babies better (obviously), the boys take on a baby food tasting challenge and Cookie does not take it well.🎙 Should’ve Gone to Therapy – Episode 18Available everywhere.📲 TikTok: @shouldvegonetotherapy1📸 Instagram: @shouldvegonetotherapy💬 Like, comment & subscribe to join the conversation.

With Nana away again, Cookie takes the pod outside for something a little different. Joined by first time guests Ace and George, plus returning menace Nigel, the boys hit London Fields for an outdoor calisthenics workout, a press-ups challenge, and some much needed sun.Between reps and banter, there’s chat about gym motivation, training with your boys, and what makes movement feel good for the mind, not just the body. Ace drops a classic line about embracing the spectrum, and honestly… he might be onto something.It’s loose, it’s light, and it’s definitely better watched than just listened to.🎥 Best enjoyed on YouTube for the full vibe.🎙 Should’ve Gone to Therapy – Episode 17Available everywhere.📲 TikTok: @should’vegonetotherapy1📸 Instagram: @shouldvegonetotherapy💬 Like, comment & subscribe to join the conversation.

Nana’s out, Nige’s in, and things get chaotic quick. Episode 16 kicks off with the big questions:Was Winston Churchill Jamaican? Would you rather be funny or smart? And if you were 18 again…are you picking uni, or saving yourself the debt?Then, the boys stumble into something deeper: are you coasting through life without realising? And how do you even know when it’s happening? Nigel opens up about his approach to goal-setting, which involves dire consequences and some serious self-pressure to stay on track.It’s a little bit of madness, a little bit of therapy, and a lot of Cookie and Nigel just throwing thoughts at the wall.🎙 Should’ve Gone to Therapy – Episode 16Available everywhere.📲 TikTok: @should’vegonetotherapy1 | Instagram: @shouldvegonetotherapy

The boys are back! And this time, fresh from the gym. Episode 15 kicks off with a recap of a sweaty little challenge session with the mandem, and a debate on whether working out with friends actually helps… or if it’s just loud reps and no peace.Things take a more reflective turn as Cookie shares his thoughts on the recent Air India crash, and how moments like that hit different when you work in aviation. Life’s fragile, and sometimes you need that reminder.Then we move into book mode. Nana’s been reading The Way of the Superior Man and, of course, he’s brought quotes. Cookie tries to keep a straight face while Nana breaks down ideas about purpose, masculinity, and taking criticism from your friends. One of them’s leaning in, the other’s rolling their eyes, and you can probably guess which is which.To wrap it up, Scroll Patrol finally makes its debut: the segment where the boys judge viral self-help clips and decide whether it’s wisdom or waffle.🎙 Streaming now.

Nigel’s in the building! The boys welcome their first ever guest and potential co-host, as Cookie and Nana put him through a very professional two minute interview.Cookie recounts a traumatic journey home lugging 40kg of podcast gear through central London in 26 degree heat. The lesson? It’s time to get a car. That opens the floodgates to a chat about driver’s licenses, shame on the tube, and a hilarious story about Nana’s dad dodging the DVLA.Nana breaks down his new wellness plan—MBSR: Mind, Body, Soul Revitalisation—a self-imposed programme to get back on track mentally, physically, and spiritually (and maybe get a little hench again while he’s at it). The boys reflect on momentum, discipline, and what it takes to feel good in yourself again.Like what you hear?

The boys are back—with a new set, new chairs, and the same life overload. Cookie and Nana settle into their central London spot and reflect on what it means to feel like real podcasters (whatever that means). They chat about the growing pains of juggling too many projects, learning to manage time when everything feels urgent, and finding systems that might keep them sane. Plus, a chat on telling your boys you love them, fighting the scroll addiction, and a surprise spoken word moment you didn’t know you needed.If you’ve ever tried spinning too many plates at once—or just forgot to say goodnight to your mates—this one’s for you.📩 Sign up to the mailing list for post-pod reflections:https://mailchi.mp/070e5e6d024f/beyond-the-mic📲 Follow us:TikTok — @should’vegonetotherapy1Instagram — @shouldvegonetotherapy

Cookie and Nana return for another open and honest conversation — this week, tackling the struggle of staying focused while working from home. Nana opens up about his battle with distractions (especially YouTube), and the boys unpack what it really means to be productive. Is it a lack of focus, or just a harsh self-assessment? And what happens when learning becomes an excuse not to take action?They also touch on grooming habits (yes, eyebrow threading included), Cookie’s Amsterdam antics, and introduce their brand-new segment: the Gratitude Grab. It’s a feel-good finish to a thoughtful episode — light, honest, and full of laughs.🎧 If you’re enjoying the pod, make sure to follow, rate, and share — it helps us grow and keeps the convo going.📲 Stay connected and get involved:YouTube: shouldvegonetotherapyInstagram: @shouldvegonetotherapyTikTok: @shouldvegonetotherapy1

Welcome to Should've Gone to Therapy. Put simply, a podcast about life and trying to get the best out of it. Join Nana and Cookie on a journey of self development, friendship and adventure. This week, we’re talking networking — not just suits, name tags, and awkward icebreakers, but the everyday connections we make without even realising it. From chats at events to random DMs that turn into something more, we explore what networking really looks like in real life. Nana shares how professional networking events helped him meet new people, build friendships, and stay connected — as we ask "What do you actually want out of these events?" We dig into the purpose behind showing up and how different it can be for everyone. Cookie also reflects on how working in events — from his uni promoter days to now — helped shape his ability to walk into any room, spark conversation, and build a vibe. We also get into the harder part: maintaining relationships. Are we actually good at keeping in touch, or just good at saying “let’s catch up soon”? 👀 👉 Stay connected and follow us on socials: TikTok @shouldvegonetotherapy1 Instagram @shouldvegonetotherapy

Welcome to Should've Gone to Therapy. Put simply, a podcast about life and trying to get the best out of it. Join Nana and Cookie on a journey of self development, friendship and adventure. This week, we’re questioning everything — like whether we’re actually good at time management or just good at lying to ourselves.

Meanwhile, Cookie admits he’s got a habit of making plans he knows he won’t stick to — but we don’t have the answer, just the question: Why do we do that to ourselves?We talk motivation, inner purpose, and the gap between who we are and who we want to be.
