  • 102 - Why Is It So Hard to Walk Away from a Toxic Friend? | Tickety Boo Podcast
    Mar 30 2026

    You know it's not right.
    You feel it.

    But you still don't walk away.

    In this episode of Tickety Boo, we answer a question from one of our listeners:
    Why is it so hard to walk away from a toxic friend?

    And we don't sugarcoat it.

    We look at both sides:

    • When they are the problem
    • And when you might be part of the pattern too

    We talk about:

    • The unspoken "contracts" in friendships
    • How everything feels fine… until you stop complying
    • The fear of rejection, guilt, and being seen as the bad one
    • And how cancel culture can make walking away feel even heavier

    Because sometimes it's not just about them being toxic…
    It's about what you've been tolerating, adapting to, or afraid to lose.

    If you've ever felt stuck in a friendship that drains you but you can't quite let go — this one will land.

  • 101 - I Didn't Know How Sad I Was… Until I Felt Happy Again
    Mar 23 2026

    You don't always realise how low you've been…
    until something shifts.

    Until you laugh properly again.
    Until your body feels lighter.
    Until a moment hits where you think, "Oh… this is what normal feels like."

    In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about that quiet, uncomfortable truth —
    that sometimes you don't know how sad, flat, or disconnected you were… until you come out the other side.

    We get into:

    • How low moods can slowly become your "normal"

    • Why you don't always notice you're struggling

    • The moment things lift — and what that shows you

    • And how easy it is to lose yourself without realising it

    This one isn't heavy for the sake of it.
    It's honest.

    Because sometimes the biggest wake-up call isn't hitting rock bottom…
    it's finally feeling okay again.

  • 100 - Why Is It So Hard to Ask for Help?
    Mar 16 2026

    🎉 Episode 100 of Tickety Boo — and fittingly, we didn't plan the topic.

    This one came from a random card pull, and the question we landed on was:

    "When do you have a hard time asking for help?"

    What starts as a simple question quickly turns into a really honest conversation about vulnerability, pride, and why so many of us wait until things hit crisis point before we finally reach out.

    We talk about:

    • Why asking for help feels so uncomfortable

    • The pressure to appear strong and "handle it yourself"

    • How pride, fear, and conditioning keep people silent

    • Why we often wait until things are falling apart before we open up

    It's reflective, personal, and exactly the kind of conversation Tickety Boo has always been about.

    If you've ever told yourself "I'll deal with it myself" this episode will probably resonate.

    And to everyone who's listened, shared, or supported the podcast along the way thank you for helping us reach 100 episodes.
