Open the Vent is all about our shared experiences of the past week.
More than ever it's become vital to vent your frustrations and, even more importantly, celebrate your achievments.
Join host Nick Verrell as he talks about things that wind us up, things that we're proud of, and things we can watch or do (other than listen to this podcast, obviously) to keep us entertained.
Oh look! I have a guest this week!
Thank you so much @astonatron for joining me and talking about your plans! Come have a listen as we chat about:
Goals for the year
Habits to keep
Things to bin off
Doomscrolling
Relaxation, and more!

Episode Four - Parent Life
Kids, who'd have 'em?
Well believe it or not - I, and countless others, insist on inflicting parenthood upon ourselves. I joke of course - I love my child and being their parent.
However, that doesn't mean I love every part of the package.
Listen on for:
- The many, many, many roles we take on as parents.
- Why I'm tired all the time.
- An understanding of why I'm so forgetful.
- Assurance that you're doing fine.
- An understanding of why I'm so forgetful.

Episode Two - Setting Goals
Make your life easier.
Achieving your dreams is hard work - setting goals to make them happen doesn't have to be.
This week we look at:
breaking down tasks
working out what's holding you back
finding out what's really important to you
If you do nothing else today - set yourself a small, achievable task and feel that huge sense of pride in making it happen!

Open the Vent x Better with Nick - Episode One
Welcome to a new year!
It's time to look at our intentions, goals and new habits.
What do we want to achieve? How will we break it down?
Featuring:
Christmas binges
Spam (emails - not the tinned stuff)
Being inspired by Sex and the City for the right reasons (are there any?)
And, always making room for some Pedro Pascal love.
Make yourself a cuppa, or listen on your commute. Just make time for yourself and join me in opening that vent.
Don't forget to drop a comment with your goals for the year!
