Into the Woods with Holly Worton

Joanna Hennon and I are back with another co-hosted episode! We’ve seen this question being asked online, and it piqued our interest: who will you be when lockdown ends? This week, we explore this question. We look at our own answers, and we ask ourselves whether this is even the question we should be asking—or if there are other, better questions we need to consider now.

I'm back again, with another solo episode! I'm going to be honest: I haven't been feeling great for the last several days. This whole lockdown has been a rollercoaster, and I'm in a dip right now. This morning, I did some journaling that helped me to turn my mood around and feel a bit better, and I wanted to share that process with you.

I'm excited to introduce today's guest, Stephen Marriott. He’s an independent author of two novels in what he calls The Reluctant Pilgrim series, and he’s an avid long-distance walker, as am I. We have a fantastic conversation about the magic of long-distance walking, and how it can change your life. This is one of those episodes where I could have gone one for much, much longer, but I’m not sure I’m ready to break into long-form podcasting just yet.

Joanna Hennon and I are back with another co-hosted episode! Today, we ask the question: are you truly comfortable with life being good? Sometimes we get so used to the identity of struggle — or of building a business or working to achieve our goals — that we don’t pick up our heads to see that we’ve already arrived. And even if we do, sometimes it can be really hard to share our success with our friends. It can be uncomfortable to realize that life is actually quite good!

I'm back again, with another solo episode! We were in Week 4 of lockdown as I recorded this episode, which was inspired by my reflections on handling life in these uncertain times. More things were cancelled for me, and I've been reevaluating my list of goals for this year. I've realized that this is something I'll have to do time and time again as we step into new phases of reality in these strange times.

I'm back again, with another solo episode! We're in week 3 of lockdown in the UK as I record this, so I thought it would be useful to continue the theme of COVID-19 and Nature.

Cara Wilde is back on the podcast, and she's joining me for a co-hosted episode! Cara has been a guest on the show several times before. Today, we talk about how to get help from Nature in these uncertain times of COVID-19. We are still allowed to get outdoors for one type of exercise daily, and we can make the most of that time (while still staying safe).

Joanna Hennon and I are back with another co-hosted episode! Today, we talk about social media: is it inherently bad? We hear all kinds of stories of people deleting their Facebook or Instagram accounts for whatever reason. We also hear people talking about how social media is super toxic—but is it, really? Here’s what we think about it.

I used to take things really personally. Fortunately, that's no longer the case. But it wasn't until I read a few things on an internet forum the other day that I realized just how much progress I've made in this area. In this episode, I share some examples of things that would have triggered me in the past, and I also share what's helped me to stop taking things so personally.

I have a whole list of topics for podcast episodes, and this one has been on the list for a while. It's not really inspired by anything that's going on in my life right now, but when I looked over the list, it felt like an important one.

This is inspired by some friendships I've been reflecting on over the past few weeks. One is a friendship that naturally fizzled out, but I never took the time to mourn (even though I'm on board with the fizzling out). Another is a friend I haven't seen in ages who no longer gets in touch when she's visiting my area (and I wish she would). Finally, I share an example of a friendship that I thought was over, but as of this morning it looks like it might be rekindling!
