Nobody Panic

In part one Tessa has frozen her eggs! She explains exactly what happened, whether the needles hurt and draws upon an extended metaphor about an orchard. A hugely useful episode for the freeze-curious. Part 2 coming Thursday. Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

Right. Bit of a left turn this one. But Tessa had to teach this to her teenage cousin recently and she doesn't want the information in her head anymore. She firmly believes that if you've completely failed to learn The Tempest all year and the exam is very soon, she can get you over the line in the next 30 minutes. Stevie has very graciously allowed this episode to go to air. Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

You look lovely today. ....Thank you. See? Not so hard is it? Why is accepting a compliment such agony, why do we curl up like a shrimp the moment someone is nice to us. Why do we insist on shouting 'OH THIS I GOT IT IN A BIN I HATE IT' if anyone so much as looks at our new dress. Stevie and Tessa wrestle with the big ideas and then practice complimenting each other.

Yoga-for-sports specialist Lexie Williamson and sports psychologist Josephine Perry have created Power Down to Power Up an incredible audio guide for 'reluctant relaxers'. The brilliant Lexie talks Stevie and Tessa through relaxation techniques, the importance of the para-sympathetic nervous system and how to give your brain a rest. Anyone who's ever struggled with meditation, can't grasp the concept of emptying your mind, hates the man's voice on the Headspace app, or whose shoulders have been up around their ears since 2010, this one is for you. You can listen to Power Down to Power Up here.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

In a bid to tackle this listener episode suggestion, Tessa reveals she doesn’t know what the drinks aisle of a supermarket is and Stevie vehemently rejects a specialised water bottle that after this recording she will then go on to own and also swear by. A fun, absolute state of an episode. Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?
