Welcome to your twenties. Where every day is a constant battle between having the rest of your life to figure it out and yet running out of the time to do it all. Where friends are getting married, pregnant and 'all-grown-up' yet you can't recall if you turned off your hair straightener this morning before you left the house (we've all been there, don't worry).
I'm Freya, known to my besties as Fraz. In this podcast, I tackle my twenties and talk about it so you don't have to do it alone. From my University experience and career aspirations to relationships and finding who I am and who I want to be in all of the noise - Fraz will explore it all. Join me on the journey every Wednesday!

LIFE TALK: the exam season inspo you didn't know you needed
EP8: It's May, meaning exam season is officially upon us! After going through my fair share of this awful, anxiety-filled stressful time in life, I wanted to provide you with the best set of advice and tips I could give you after learning a lot of things myself so that you are fully prepared for the next month or so. We talk about procrastination and dealing with a lack of support, and I even give you multiple pep talks to help you realise that you are fully capable of doing this. Believe it sister!! Wishing everyone all the luck in the world <3

RELATIONSHIP TALK: let's talk long-distance!!
EP 7: In this episode we talk about something I've been putting off for a while because it makes me emosh - long distance relationships!! Having experienced this for the last 3 years I finally feel qualified enough to share with you all some things my partner, James, and I do in our relationship to keep going strong, and I also talk about the positive side of doing long-distance that no one seems to talk about. We don't dwell on the negatives here, so if you are going through the same thing or just want to have a listen about some positive things that can be applied to any of your relationships in life, then come and have a listen!

these are a few of my favourite things
EP6: This week's episode is crammed!! First we talk about the feeling of being home and what that means to me after finally coming home from University after 2 months away, then we delve a little more personal into a bit more about me, who I am and what I want to do in the future to hopefully provide more context for future episodes! Then the bulk of the episode is talking all about my favourite things - from TV and film, to skincare and food - nothing is off the table. A long episode for sure, hope you love it!

finding what sets your heart on fire
EP5: Recently I've been in quite a rut with my passions and dreams. I was once this lil girl with huge plans for life and just went for it with so many things, but now I feel like I never have the time or energy anymore to pursue my passions, or even have the time to figure out what they are, and it's been something I've been thinking about a lot. In this episode, we go through the motions together of why this might be, what you guys think through polls on my Instagram, and what I want to try and do about it. If this is something you've been feeling/have gone through, join me in getting to grips with this!

living in the here and now
EP2: I'm not gonna lie guys - this one gets deep! I've struggled with anxiousness for as long as I can remember which, when combined with academic validation, became all too much when I was younger but sparked a conversation with a kind teacher that changed the game for me. In this episode, I share what I learnt from that conversation, and how I used it to cope with my own struggles and 'bad head days' still to this day. This episode is packed full of affirmations and proactive tips that I used to help conquer those anxious days. I hope it helps you if this is something you struggle with too!

nobody cares
EP1: Have you ever let the fear of what other people think hold you back from doing something you love? Come across people that care about your life just a little too hard without good intentions? Let this episode be here to help. We're going to talk about the two types of people that will care about what you are doing in life - one good, one not so good, and what to do in order to let go of the fear of what other people think. In short, you guessed it...nobody cares!
