Today's episode is brought to you by Stevie, Tessa and the amazing Fi - a 'spacecraft thermal engineer'(!), podcast listener, and Excel champion, who offers her exceptional talents and guidance to two gals terrified of spreadsheets. A beginner's guide to Excel for the chronically afraid. A genuinely helpful episode (we think). Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanic Want to support Nobody Panic?

Stevie got a massage and loved it. Tessa gets them all the time for her stressed body. Together they offer advice if you’re thinking about going for the first time and, quite frankly, get far too worried about how to tell if your masseuse is going to give you a “happy ending” or not.

Dear Diary, today Stevie and Tessa did an amazing podcast on journalling. It was inspired by a listener suggestion, and the aforementioned listener wrote several detailed questions which they worked through in order and found to be a particularly helpful structure. They discussed bullet journalling, whether you need a nice notebook, Tessa's fears over being arrested for a murder she did not commit, and what pen to use. A great day.
