  • Mental Health
    Nov 3 2025

    This week, our host Brendan Patrick dives deep with Noah and special guest Ella into a topic that affects literally everyone—mental health! 🤯 We're pulling back the curtain on the pressure cooker of high school, balancing A-Levels, uni applications, and feeling like you have to be 'on' 24/7. We discuss everything from the pressure of exams and grades to the reality of burnout (one of the hosts actually dropped out of school because of it! 😱). We also tackle some seriously controversial misconceptions: Is mental health "just in your head?" Are gap years a bad idea? Plus, we break down the tricky balance of school vs. social life vs. self-care , and share our best tips on managing stress with music, theater, and finding your 'kind of people' 🫂. Don't struggle in silence! We're all in this together.
