Ever been told "you're so strong" and felt… nothing good about it?

This episode of Tickety Boo is for the people who always cope.
The ones everyone leans on.
The ones who don't remember agreeing to be the strong one… but somehow became them anyway.

We talk about:

• How you end up as the reliable one in families, friendships, and relationships

• The quiet pressure of being the one who holds it together

• Why being "strong" often means you don't get asked how you are

• Emotional burnout that hides behind competence

• What happens when you're fed up of being the safe pair of hands

This isn't about blaming anyone.
It's about naming something a lot of people feel but don't say out loud.

If you've ever thought:
Why am I always the one coping?
Why does everyone assume I'll be fine?
What happens if I stop being strong?

This episode is for you.

Do you ever feel like your worth is measured by what you do for others rather than who you are?

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about the hidden pressure so many people carry:
The belief that being helpful, needed, productive or constantly putting others first is the only way to feel valuable.

We dig into:

• Why doing things for everyone else feels safer than focusing on your own needs

• Where this belief often comes from (spoiler: childhood conditioning, praise patterns, people pleasing)

• How easy it is to lose your sense of identity when your worth is always tied to being useful

If resting makes you feel guilty...
If saying "no" makes you feel selfish…
If you struggle to feel enough unless you're fixing, supporting, or giving…
This episode is for you.

How many times have you held yourself back not because you couldn't do something, but because you were scared of how it might look?

In this episode, we get into the fear of being judged.
The fear of standing out.
Of taking a different path.
Of showing people who you really are and risking the side-eyes, whispers, or silence.

We talk about how this fear shows up like not saying what you really want to say, staying in jobs or relationships that don't fit anymore, or avoiding decisions just in case someone doesn't approve.

The truth is, when you live your life trying to avoid judgment…
You end up judging yourself even more.

This is the episode for anyone who's done the mental gymnastics to keep other people comfortable at the cost of their own peace.

Friendships end.
Jobs end.
Relationships shift.
People move on.

And when they do you're left sitting with the parts of yourself you didn't realise were tied to them. The parts that bent, shrunk, or performed to keep something going that maybe… wasn't even right for you.

In this episode, we talk about those raw moments when life changes—and you're left asking the big questions.

Who am I without that role?
Without that person?
Without that plan?

It's reflective, it's honest, and it's probably going to get you thinking about the things you've outgrown… and what that might mean for what comes next.

Ever notice how you shrink, shape-shift, or second guess yourself around certain people?

This episode goes straight into that.

The masks we wear.
The eggshells we walk on.
The way we edit ourselves to avoid rejection, criticism, or conflict.

We talk about the version of you that only shows up around them the friend, the parent, the partner, the boss. The one you perform for. The one you tolerate too much for. The one who leaves you drained.

This isn't just about people pleasing. It's about fear. Belonging. Safety.
And how easy it is to lose yourself when you've spent years being the peacekeeper.

If you've ever had a relationship where you think more than you speak...
Where you feel like you're constantly managing someone else's emotions just to keep the peace…
You're not alone.

This episode is for the version of you that's ready to stop performing.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, we pull a random card that asks:
"If you could tell yourself something a year ago… what would it be?"

It sounds simple but it opens the door to some real talk about self-awareness, resentment, and responsibility.

Andy shares what most of us feel but don't admit:
That sometimes, we point fingers at life, at people, at timing…
But deep down we know.
If nothing changes, nothing changes.
And no one's coming to save us.

We unpack what it means to actually take ownership of your life not in a motivational poster way, but in a grounded, real way.
We talk about clarity, getting specific on what you want, and the uncomfortable truth that your next chapter won't write itself.

If you're stuck feeling like life's happening to you this one's for you.

We kick this one off with a laugh—asking:
"If your life was a podcast, what would it be called?"

Cue the humour…
Cue the chaos…
And then without meaning to we end up in a deep, honest chat about life, identity, and what the hell we're all doing with ourselves.

This episode of Tickety Boo is full of those unexpected moments where joking turns into real reflection.
We ask:

• Are you actually living the kind of life you'd be proud to name?

• What chapters would your podcast have?

• And how much of it is really you versus what you've fallen into or settled for?

It's funny, messy, and full of heart.
The kind of episode that'll make you laugh first and think hard after.
