There comes a point when ‘I’m fine’ stops cutting it.

In this raw and honest episode of Tickety Boo, Andy and Iona sit down to talk about the moment you realise you’re living a life that doesn’t feel like yours anymore and you’re pretending it’s okay.

We explore:

• The slow burnout of self-neglect

• How pretending becomes a survival strategy

• The warning signs you’ve been ignoring for too long

• The guilt that creeps in when you start wanting more

• And the reality that change often starts with one brutally honest moment

“If you keep telling yourself it’s not that bad, one day you’ll wake up and realise you don’t even recognise yourself anymore.”

This isn’t about blowing up your life overnight. It’s about pausing, questioning, and finally admitting the truth you’ve been avoiding.

If you’ve been stuck in a job, a routine, a relationship or even just a mindset that’s slowly breaking you, this one’s for you.

Real talk. No fluff. Just two voices saying the thing you might not feel ready to say but need to hear.

Emotional strength isn’t about being unbothered—it’s about being real.
In this powerful episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona unpack what it actually means to be emotionally strong—and it’s not the stiff-upper-lip version we’ve been sold.

We explore:

• How strength is found in feeling, not hiding

• Why sitting with sadness builds resilience

• The power of reframing failure as feedback

• The importance of boundaries, rest, and emotional honesty

• And why self-awareness (not perfection) is the real goal

💬 “Being strong isn’t about pretending you’re fine—it’s about knowing yourself, even when you’re falling apart.”

This episode will give you a dose of comfort, a bit of challenge, and some surprising truths about the habits and mindset shifts that make you strong—not just on the outside, but from the inside out.

Whether you’re going through something or rebuilding after a hard chapter, this one’s for you.
