When it hasn’t been your day
Is your mental health totally going down the drain? Is the seasonal depression depressing a lil too hard? Maybe it just hasn't been your day. Or your week. Or your month. Or - you get the drill. But don't worry, we’ve got just the episode for you!
Join us as we chat about all the miserable, maddening, mental maladies that life throws at us – rejection, failure, perfectionism, and mental health concerns.
And, stick around for a bit longer and you'll hear from our two very special guests, Nick and Babs, who are not at all just your average psych students (nope, no they are not, they are cool! psych students), sharing lots of laughs and delightful insights!

Sleep when you’re dead
Ever had one of those YouTube spirals where you suddenly realise you have to monetize your hobby (ok first get a hobby), listen to self-improvement podcasts on the toilet, have a 1-5 before your 5-9 before your 9-5, and buy 3 colour-coded calendars?
Oh, you haven't?
Yeah no, no, we definitely haven't done that either.
But listen to us chat about it anyway! In this week's episode, we talk about hustle culture, toxic productivity, being rested, stressing about trying to rest, extracurriculars and clubs.

The 3 Bs talk to: the finance gals!
They’re prettier, funnier, and smarter than your average finance bro, and have never been caught for tax evasion (allegedly)!

And don’t forget to add them on LinkedIn once you’re finished with the episode!
As always, stay whelmed x

Fork in the road
Raise your hand if you're at uni and actually have no clue what you're doing! Raise your hand if you are thinking of switching degrees, taking a gap year, or maybe even dropping out!
If this is you, that's okay! If this isn't you, that's also cool too! This week's episode is all about the time when you reach that fork in the road that will determine the rest of your life (spoiler alert: it actually won't). We'll be getting into the nitty gritty of all the feelings and thoughts that arrive on your doorstep when you realise that maybe your uni degree isn't what you thought it would be at all. Keep listening to hear some amazing tips from Lucy and Olivia, who share their views on alternative pathways you can take instead of getting that degree.

Is it still the right fit?
Wondering if you need to grow your personal space bubble? Needing time away from certain people or things? Thinking it's time that old friendship should fizzle out? We get you!
In this week's episode, we get into how it feels to let go of old friendships and experiences, how setting boundaries is necessary and actually a good thing, and why some things that once suited you may no longer be a right fit. Plus, find out whether we are intraverted or extraverted (it'll surprise you!), what we know about social rizz, and what we've learnt from friendships that have long since fizzled out.

So you wanna go to uni....
You’ve heard about the parties, you’ve heard about the late study nights, the independent learning, the crying breaks, the campus life, the neverending supply of mi goreng, the lifelong friendships, the group projects, the pub crawls....... but is it really all it’s cracked up to be?
Welcome to the beginning of the Whelmed. Podcast! Join us for our very first episode to hear all about our expectations going in to uni, the reality wall that hit us once we started going to classes, and the little dreams that we still hold onto from when we were baby peas in a pod. Stick around for a little longer and you’ll get to hear from some cool people who may be feeling exactly the same as you!
