Hello hello, friends, enemies, lovers... welcome to Impressionable.

This is the podcast that uncovers all of the small and big ways in which we have been shaped by the world around us. This season we're talking about the things that make an impression on us that we'd like to unlearn!

This week I am joined by Trang Nova (@trang_nova)!

Trang Nova is a mentor and speaker for women who are hungry to pivot careers and build their dream business, so they can live out their potential and purpose with freedom and fulfillment.

In her mid-20s, Trang experienced a quarter-life crisis that led her to leave the sports industry so she could help women not just as athletes, but as human beings. That way, Trang believed she could use her lifetime to contribute to change at a more comprehensive and global scale.

Now, Trang is determined to help others by stepping into their greatest power and thriving in their lives of impact. Ultimately, she believes that when enough individuals are thriving, then humanity will thrive. And when humanity thrives, then the world can thrive for all forms of life and future generations.

We talk all about quarter-life crises and what keeps us from chasing our dreams.

This episode is a great introduction what DeFino primarily writes about. We speak on 'anti-aging' (spoiler: not possible), dating while unlearning mainstream beauty standards, where beauty standards originate from and what DeFino’s time was like working for the #kardashianjenners

I have returneth, and upon my arrival, I have gifted you a spectacular episode with the one and only Jai. I met Jai at Cambridge while we were both undertaking an MPhil in Development Studies and that is what we spend the bulk of the episode talking about today! So if you're in the mood for a bit of politics give the episode a go, I am sure that you will learn something.

I do want to preface this episode by saying that obviously we are not experts, nor the authoritative voice on these matters, however, we do have some knowledge of these topics and are really open to debate what we chat about - so get in touch if you feel like it :)

This week I am joined by my partner of now 3 years Matthew. We talk about our relationship, if we are ever going to make it an open one, co-dependency, how to keep the spark alive, and everything in between!

I've Never Had An Original Thought is all about getting to understand the ideas, environments, and people who have made us who we are today. I interview incredible and insightful guests who can shed light on all of those very things, opening up about how their worldview has been formulated and the wins and loses in their life along the way.

I hope you enjoy the podcast, and please subscribe and review it highly as then I will want to make more for you !!!

This week I have on the very wise Andrew Maddox, COO of Komi. In this episode, Andrew and I discuss the 'lost years' of coming out of university, if suffering through a job is worth it, and buying your interviewer breakfast!

Hello Dearests!!!

This week I am joined by the beautiful Sophie Habboo (@habboosophie)! You probably know Sophie best from Made in Chelsea which you can catch up with on 4od currently! Sophie is also a business owner, as well as a co-host on two separate podcasts: 'Nearly Weds' and 'Wednesdays We Drink Wine'.

In today's ep, however, we go into the idea of para-social relationships, what makes a successful relationship more generally, extending oneself as a brand, as well as a little bit of wedding talk! So please stick around as I'm sure it will be your cup of tea!

Please share, rate it 5 stars and come back each week for more!

Lots of love,
