Dopamine Chasing: Why I Keep Buying Stuff I Don’t Need (Especially During Redundancy)

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

jeudi 11 décembre 2025 • Durée 14:00

Feeling stuck? Buying things you absolutely don’t need? Wondering why Amazon drivers now greet you by name?
Same.
In this episode, I dive into the very real (and very sneaky) world of dopamine chasing — the quick hits, the impulsive spending, the “this will fix me” purchases we all make when life feels uncertain, especially after redundancy.

We’re talking:
🎯 Self-soothing by shopping
🔄 The Amazon Prime shame cycle we pretend we’re not trapped in
🧠 The blurry line between comfort and coping
🎮 My completely unnecessary Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade
💭 And how nostalgia can tempt you into buying things that don’t actually help

This isn’t a lecture from someone who’s nailed it — this is me admitting I get this wrong a lot and have to remind myself why the dopamine hit never actually solves the bigger “now what?” feeling that redundancy leaves behind.

If the show has helped you, made you laugh, or just reminded you you’re not losing your mind… you can support it on Patreon.
I run everything myself, and your support genuinely makes it easier to keep the podcast going (and keeps me from panic-buying more tech I don’t need).

And if you’re asking yourself now what?
You’re in the right place.

Overemployment: The Multi-Job Trend Tempting Redundant Workers (And Why I’m Not Built for Spy Life)

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

mardi 9 décembre 2025 • Durée 11:53

Ever wondered how people manage to hold down two full-time jobs at the same time? Is it the rise of remote work? Witchcraft? A very understanding boss? Or just the modern equivalent of trying to dual-wield lightsabres without cutting off your own arm?

In this episode, I dive into the world of overemployment — the surprisingly common practice of running more than one full-time job simultaneously. The financial temptation is real (two salaries? Yes please), but the reality… well, it gets messy faster than a child changing their Christmas list after the Amazon cut-off.

I talk through:
✨ What overemployment actually is
✨ Why people do it (spoiler: money)
✨ And why I, personally, would crumble under the pressure like a poorly iced Yule log

If you’re navigating redundancy, curious about overemployment, or simply wondering what other people are doing to survive the modern job market — this one’s for you.

Low Days During Redundancy: How to Spot Them and What to Do Next

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

jeudi 4 décembre 2025 • Durée 13:29

Low days hit harder when you’re going through redundancy.

One minute you’re powering through job applications, and the next you’re staring at your CV like it’s personally betrayed you. In this episode, I talk through how to actually spot a low day before it sweeps you away and what practical steps you can take to get yourself back into gear - even if your internal energy bar is flashing red.

With relatable stories (including an Elf on the Shelf who has fully given up), plenty of humour and real, usable, advice; this episode is here to remind you that low days don’t mean you’re failing — they mean you’re human. You’ll learn how to recognise your warning signs, how to manage yourself with compassion, and how to keep momentum going in small, realistic ways.

If you’re navigating redundancy, burnout, endless applications or just one of those days… you’re not alone.

Redundant… and Suddenly Doing All the Housework

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 2 décembre 2025 • Durée 10:46

So you lose your job… and somehow end up doing more laundry, cooking, ironing and school prep than ever before. How does that happen?

In this episode, I dig into what really goes on when redundancy quietly turns you into the default housekeeper — even when that was never the plan. I talk about juggling job searching with the endless list of “useful” tasks, how the 5-in-50 method keeps me on track, and why feeling busy doesn’t always feel like progress.

We get into:

the surprise pressure of being home all day
the low days that creep in when life feels stagnant
the balance between family impact and career impact
why support (from partners or online strangers) matters more than you think
and the art of staying sane while folding fitted sheets badly

If redundancy has left you doing everything from bathroom cleaning to emotional gymnastics — while trying to hold your confidence together — this one’s for you.

If you’re asking yourself “now what?”, you’re in the right place.

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

jeudi 27 novembre 2025 • Durée 10:02

Redundancy can make the Christmas season feel heavier — and those perfect adverts don’t help. This episode I talk about the adverts I've seen, how they affect your confidence, and the mindset shift that makes the biggest difference.

Redundancy, Identity & CV Hobbies: What Really Matters When Job Hunting

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mardi 25 novembre 2025 • Durée 08:25

What do your hobbies say about you when you’re standing at the crossroads after redundancy? In this episode, Steeby unpacks a relatable Reddit post about adding hobbies to your CV and why something so small can stir up big questions about identity, confidence and self-worth.

From video games to sewing, we talk about the personal parts of our lives we’re often told to hide — and how they can actually help during a job search.

A reflective, humorous and honest look at rebuilding after redundancy and figuring out “who you are” when the career label falls away.

Finding Purpose After Redundancy: What Happy Workers Taught Me About My Career

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

jeudi 20 novembre 2025 • Durée 08:23

Redundancy will have you questioning everything — your career, your skills, and whether you should finally run away to join the world of professional yodelling.
So in this episode, I dive into a brilliant r/UKJobs thread where real people share the jobs they genuinely love. Their stories — from pilots to librarians to people who somehow enjoy spreadsheets — helped me rethink my own direction and figure out why sticking with my field might actually make sense (for me, my sanity, and my children’s unreasonable addiction to Weetabix).

If you're feeling lost, job-hunting, or just want reassurance that you're not the only one Googling “jobs that don’t require me to be a morning person,” this episode is your companion. Expect honesty, humour, and a surprisingly uplifting look at finding purpose after everything goes sideways.

Perfect for anyone navigating redundancy, career changes, imposter syndrome, or the general chaos of being a functioning adult.

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 18 novembre 2025 • Durée 09:40

Feeling stuck in a constant loop of comparing your life, your job, or your progress to everyone else’s?

Recognise when comparison is taking over
Shift from “why them” to “what now”
Turn envy into action
Redefine success on your own terms

Whether you’re rebuilding after redundancy, navigating a career change, or just tired of feeling behind, this episode will help you find your own lane again — and stay there with confidence

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

vendredi 14 novembre 2025 • Durée 09:33

That first morning after redundancy hits differently. No alarm, no meetings, no emails — just a strange quiet that feels both freeing and frightening. In this episode, I talk about a structure that has helped me in the emotional aftermath of losing a job, the temptation to rush into “doing,” and the slow, uncertain process of finding my rhythm again.

mercredi 12 novembre 2025 • Durée 05:42

Join Steeby as the stall is set out to answer the question 'Now what?'.

'Now What?' is about life after the big changes — the uncertain middle where you’re not who you were, and not yet who you’ll become. I’m sharing my real-time journey through redundancy, parenting, and rebuilding a sense of self — with a few detours into the things that keep me sane and smiling.
