Hey! I'm back! Thanks to everyone who has dropped me a message.
We're doing something a little different now.
I'm writing a lot more and publishing on Substack. This podcast will now include:
A read-through of each article by me. Then, a follow-up episode where I can expand my point and talk through inspirations, bits that needed to get cut etc. in the relaxed way only a podcast can afford.
I hope you enjoy! If you want to read the article - visit existentialpicnic.com

Why you struggle to make decisions
In this extra peaceful episode, we talk about:
* The overwhelming amount of choices we have and why that low-key sucks
* Why shame makes you sit on social media
* The dangers of copying what others want
* Why you’re secretly the bad guy in Men In Black 1 (a perfect movie)
See you next week.

You need help or you're not living
Hey folks,
Episode 3 has ARRIVED.
In this episode I share:
* The most useful thing I could be doing with my life
* The book that unlocked meditation for me
* The book that helped me outwit a sociopath
* Why you’re not reading enough fiction
I also tell a really boring anecdote about how I’ve had too much caffeine today but then realise I was drinking a coke on the podcast! Crazy stuff.
See you next week.

How did we get here?
I spent years building a life that tried to look impressive: writing scripts, chasing creative validation, stacking achievements to prove to myself that I was moving somewhere.
Then, somewhere along the way, it stopped making sense.
In this first episode of Existential Picnic, I talk about what happens when ambition burns out and the strange, painful, and low-key funny process of rebuilding purpose from scratch.
