We’ve all got a story. The question is—are you using it to move forward, or to stay stuck?

In this episode of the Tickety Boo Podcast, Andy, Ian, and Iona explore the importance of owning your story—the good, the bad, the downright painful—and choosing not to let it become a lifelong excuse.

We cover:
📖 Why your past does matter—but it’s not your full identity
🧠 How trauma, upbringing, or life events can shape your mindset
⛓️ The fine line between self-awareness and self-sabotage
⚡ What happens when your story becomes your reason not to change
🔥 And how to start rewriting the next chapter—on your terms

This episode is about honouring where you’ve come from, without letting it hold you back.
Because you’re allowed to say: “Yes, this happened to me. But it doesn’t get to decide who I become.”

You’re stronger than you think—you just might not see it yet.

In this week’s episode of the Tickety Boo Podcast, Andy, Ian, and Iona are diving into resilience, inner strength, and why most people don't realise how much they’ve already survived.

We’re talking about:

• Why it often takes hitting rock bottom to realise your true strength

• How surviving tough times actually rewires your brain for resilience

• The silent strength of people who keep going even when no one sees it

• Why self-doubt doesn't mean weakness—it means you’re growing

• How to start recognising your own capacity to cope, heal, and rise again

If you've ever thought, “I can’t handle much more,” this episode will show you that you already have—and you will again.

You’re not broken.
You’re not failing.
You’re building strength you can’t always see yet.

This is your reminder that the storms you've survived are proof of the strength you forgot you had.

We all get triggered.
By something someone says.
By silence.
By being ignored, rejected, misunderstood…
But what if those uncomfortable moments weren’t just emotional landmines—what if they were messengers?

In this week’s episode of the Tickety Boo Podcast, Andy, Ian and Iona unpack the truth behind triggers—why they hit so hard, what they reveal, and how to use them as a path to healing instead of a reason to shut down.

We’re diving into:

• What triggers actually are (and what they’re not)

• Why some people constantly set us off

• The difference between reacting and responding

• What our strongest emotional reactions are trying to tell us

• How healing our wounds helps us reclaim control of our lives

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t even know why I reacted that way,” this episode is for you.
Because your triggers?
They’re not signs of weakness.
They’re signposts to the parts of you that still need love, attention, and healing.

🧠 Tickety Boo Podcast – Honest conversations about emotions, healing, and why being human is harder than we admit. Real talk, big heart, no sugarcoating.

There’s a moment in healing when something shifts.
It’s not loud. It’s not flashy.
It’s quiet, and maybe even a bit scary…
But suddenly, you realise: you’re not surviving anymore—you’re beginning to live.

In this week’s episode of the Tickety Boo Podcast, Andy, Ian, and Iona sit down to talk about what happens when healing starts to feel like hope—and why that moment can be just as confronting as the pain that came before it.

We explore:

• Why we’re often more comfortable in chaos than peace

• The strange grief that comes with letting go of your old identity

• What it means to rebuild trust with yourself after trauma

• Why joy can feel unfamiliar when you’ve lived in survival mode

• How to spot the signs that healing is working—even when it doesn’t feel like it yet

Whether you're just starting your journey or you’re somewhere in the messy middle, this episode is your reminder that healing doesn’t mean going back to who you were—it means becoming who you were always meant to be.

“Just stay positive!”
Sound familiar? We’ve all heard it—and probably said it. But what happens when positivity becomes a mask… or worse, a weapon?

In this week’s episode of the Tickety Boo Podcast, we’re talking about toxic positivity—what it is, how it shows up, and why it’s quietly making so many people feel even worse.

Join Andy and Ian as they unpack:

• The difference between genuine optimism and emotional suppression

• How phrases like “everything happens for a reason” can feel invalidating when you're struggling

• Why people-pleasing and perfectionism are often hiding underneath forced positivity

• The impact of toxic positivity on grief, trauma, and mental health recovery

• And how we can start creating space for real, messy, honest emotions

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they had to put on a happy face when they were falling apart inside. It’s about making room for truth, not just “good vibes only.”

In Episode 51 of the Tickety Boo Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most painful (and confusing) patterns in relationships — chasing the very people who reject us, disrespect us, or make us feel small.

You’ve probably said it yourself:

“I know they’re not good for me… so why can’t I let go?”

This week, Andy, Ian and Lynn unpack what’s really behind this cycle — and no, it’s not just low self-esteem.

We explore:

• The childhood roots of chasing emotional unavailability

• How rejection triggers survival instincts in the brain

• The myth that “if I just love them enough, they’ll change”

• Why validation from the wrong person can feel more addictive than love from the right one

• And most importantly — how to stop giving your energy to people who only drain it

💥 Raw, relatable, and deeply human — this episode is for anyone who’s felt stuck in a cycle of chasing love, approval, or closure from people who were never capable of giving it.

Men are struggling—and most of them are doing it silently.
In this powerful episode of the Tickety Boo Podcast, we’re joined by BBC radio presenter Phil Upton to talk about what men really go through behind the scenes.

👉 Why do men struggle to talk?
👉 Why is vulnerability still seen as weakness?
👉 Why is silence still costing lives?

📊 Suicide remains the biggest killer of men in the UK, and yet, conversations around male mental health are still met with jokes, discomfort, or silence.

We unpack the real reasons why:

• Men feel the pressure to ‘man up’

• So many suppress emotions until they explode

• Emotional literacy was never taught, only toughness

• Even crying is seen as a threat to masculinity

With honest, raw chat from Andy, Ian, and Phil Upton, this episode shines a light on the emotional weight men carry, and how we can finally start to change the narrative.

💬 Expect real stories. Real emotion. Real connection.

If you’re a guy who feels lost, tired, or like you’re supposed to just “get on with it” — this one’s for you.

• Why men struggle to open up

• The childhood roots of emotional shutdown

• How humour masks pain

• What actually helps when you’re breaking

• The one thing every man needs to hear right now
