Today, I talk about what it means to belong. Belonging is an essential human trait, since the cavemen times. We all strive to belong and to fit in with a certain group of people, especially at school. The main message to take away from this episode is this: just be yourself and you will find people just like you. Strive to make friends with people who actually get you for who you are, not who you think you are supposed to be. Socials: blog: pepetoe.net insta/tiktok: ellieoverfield_...

We all deal with anxiety the day after a big night out. Over the years, I've taken on many different bits of advice from various people and sources about how to help quash that feeling of dread and guilt the next day. It's not an easy process, and I still get those thoughts creeping in the next day. However, I only feel that dread 1 out of 10 times of going out now, so I'd say that's a HUGE progress!

A very special episode today because I have my BEST FRIEND here with me! Nele is from Austria and is also an advocate for all things self-love and self-care. We share our thoughts on today's world and the importance of finding yourself, or what she calls your "inner peace". A heads up: the first part of the episode has been rerecorded as we lost the original file :( which is sad because we had recorded it by the river in the sunshine outside in the park! It's still a beautiful episode so please ...

Hey guys! It's been a while, so a lot of this ep is a recap of the last month! I've definitely found my social side again and I couldn't be happier about it. Gaining weight and finding my true self in ED recovery has definitely allowed this to happen. Weight gain = gaining life back. "If you gain weight from eating a normal amount and honouring your cravings, that was the weight you were meant to gain and the size your body is supposed to be" Leave a rate on review on whatever platform you're li...

wow, 25 uploads! what crazy times... today i open up about my current thoughts about my journey in ED recovery and it's a hard and heavy one but i wanted to get those feelings out there. TW for those with an ed/also in recovery: it's a difficult subject to voice but i think it's important people understand that recovery is in no way linear and it is so so so difficult and that it takes WAY longer than you could imagine...

we all struggle with academic burnout as we all put high expectations on ourselves to succeed in life and in academics. this spirals into losing motivation and the desire to procrastinate. but the reassuring thing is that we all deal with this. so how do we go about coping with this? i delve into this topic in this 20 minute episode, so have a listen and let me know what you think! instagram: ellieoverfield_ blog: pepetoe <3

Now it a better time than any, given Taylor's new release of Midnights to join in on switching back to the 'come back era'. Let's work on ourselves for ourselves. Focus on giving out good energy in order to attract and receive good energy. Prioritise your mental + physical health. Work on confidence and more of a 'bad bitch' type attitude. Sounds ridiculous, sure, but you have to fake it 'til you make it. And, if you're having a bad day, that's ok. If you're not where you want to be with your li...

today I talk about the winter blues – something which we all go through in the year is feeling 'sadder' or lacking motivation during the winter months. the lack of sun drains us and the darker, gloomier days often make us want to remain in bed and not tackle the day. here, i offer some tips to avoid the preempted winter blues (well, we can't really avoid them, but we can do out best to mitigate them + deal with them when they crop up). romanticise your life - you only have one! blog: PEPETOE.net...

hi, welcome back to TIJTB! today i'm talking about the change of season, the new month, and the goals i have for october/this year at uni to really manifest my dream life and "get back on track" with my mental health and resets! i hope these goals make you think about who you want to be/become this month, and recognise the fact that although october can be scary (starting a new term again) and sad (colder and darker days), it's a chance to be someone new, as is everyday and any point of the day....

hey guys! i'm back with another episode all about my recap from the summer and accepting that routine isn't everything. this summer has taught me so many lessons and i am so grateful to have experienced all the things i have. i have made countless memories and met so many wonderful people. this is a reminder to enjoy every day like it's your last. don't regret things that you haven't done or things that you have. live in the present and enjoy spending time with loved ones and don't worry about n...

recently I have realised that something which i used to enjoy so so much – my childhood/high school sport – i no longer enjoy. it's taken me months to wrap my head around why this is the case, and why i have felt like there's so much pressure to carry on with it regardless. now i understand (after a long time) why this is the case: it just happens. we fall out of love with things that used to bring us so much joy and passion. now the sport i used to crave no longer serves me, and that's ok. it's...

The start of a new season can be daunting for a lot of people. I love September as it gives a chance to start over. I love Autumn as I can drink PSLs and watch Gilmore Girls and sit under cosy blankets and wear Uggs every day if I wanted to. However, a lot of people find new seasons hard, especially as the days are getting shorter and the weather is getting gloomier. I want to start romanticising my life more. I also want to give myself permission more often to take things slower with no pressur...

sometimes we think we are on the right path and when we realise in fact we're not, it scares the royal sh** out of us. sometimes we think we know who we are, then something comes along and changes our mind completely. in today's episode i'm talking about all of this, and that it is ok to start over. failure is also a topic i cover: you might think you have "failed", when really that thing wasn't meant for you. starting over with something, anything, is daunting but at the same time it teaches us...

are you about to start university this year? are you nervous to be a "fresher"? do you feel like it's not really talked about enough? i'm here today to talk about all the pros and cons of university, especially as a fresher. i go into deep detail about my darker days at uni, but also shed light on the positives and share my experience as to explain why now (in a long winded process) that I am happy to be going into my second year and glad i didn't drop out, like i thought i would. top tip: it's ...

another episode out this week all about giving yourself permission to restart. wherever you are at on your journey (mental, physical, spiritual and emotional), you are allowed to pause and take a few steps back to go on forward. it's ok to get frustrated at yourself when things don't go your way. but be proud of yourself for all those little milestones and achievements that may otherwise go unnoticed. you're doing so well, never forget that. keep pushing forwards and remember that there is alway...

hey it's been so long but i've finally managed to get out an episode after the last few crazy ass weeks being home from uni and going on holidays!! today i'm talking about acceptance, travel, having a growth mindset, and learning that favouring solitude over camaraderie (or social time) is not always good, and that working on yourself is a whole new ball game when you've got to do that in the company of others. please enjoy, rate, review + share <3 socials: insta - ellieoverfield_ blog - pepe...

hey, welcome back to yet another episode! today i'm rambling on (no surprise there) about how today i have thoroughly enjoyed the presence of other people and not thought twice about my own life and worries - it was basically just really refreshing to step outside my own bubble for a day. also i talk about being proud of yourself and congratulating yourself on your little daily wins, no matter how big or small. this is something as humans we don't ever do but i think it's time to start being mor...

hi! another episode this week all about spontaneity. nowadays, especially since the pandemic, spontaneity has kinda gone out the window. we all live in tight routines of 9-5 jobs or school, living under rules and structure. when was the last time you did something truly fun & so out of the blue? do something today, tomorrow to spice things up. whether that's go to a different coffee shop or take a different route home. doing these acts of spontaneity really do shake up your day and builds up...

hi! hope you're all well. today i'm discussing the comment desire in today's society to constantly seek more, the next best thing, the next thing to check off our to-do list. i get into a bit of detail and go into a few tangents so i apologise in advance! enjoy! :)

sorry for the ramble yet again! but today i'm talking all things YOU. what makes you so unique? and how to stop comparing to other people, and why we do it in the first place. try your best every day, that's worth more than anything else in this world. hope you enjoy!
