    431. Why a boring life is beautiful
    Jun 22 2026
    What might be seen as a ‘boring’ life is often just a life that wouldn’t be as popular on Instagram. In a world that glamorises chaos, spontaneity and constant stimulation, we need to create lives that truly nourish us, provide safety, and align with who we really are. In this episode, we explore the psychology behind why so many of us begin craving calm as we get older, why that can feel oddly threatening, and why slowing down may be one of the best things we can do for our brains. We explore:
    • Why many of us start craving a more manageable, peaceful life
    • Why this can create fear, guilt, or cognitive dissonance in our 20s
    • The pressure from social media to make youth look chaotic and exciting
    • The role of FOMO in feeling disconnected from our real preferences
    • Why our brains crave novelty
    • What a ‘boring’ life is actually made of: boundaries, routine, presence, and self-trust Watch on Netflix: HERE Follow Jemma on Instagram: @jemmasbeg Follow the podcast on Instagram: @thatpsychologypodcast Subscribe on Substack: @thepsychologyofyour20s For business: psychologyofyour20s@gmail.com Our favourite sources:

  • 430. The psychology of job interviews

    430. The psychology of job interviews
    Jun 18 2026
    When we go for a job interview, it can feel as if our entire existence is being judged. It can come down to the feeling of someone else getting to call the shots on whether we are intellectually competent at best, or personally desirable at worst. In this episode, we’ll explore why job interviews can feel so stressful, identify why positive first impressions are vital, and discuss some psychological hacks to help us nail them. We explore: • How job interviews trigger our need for social approval
    • The Yerkes-Dodson Law, or how excessive pressure can make us perform worse
    • Why we can’t trust our judgement about how an interview went
    • Why being likeable makes it more likely you’ll get hired
    • How easy psychological tricks can make us feel more confident Our favourite sources:

    429. The reality of chronic illness in your 20s ft. Nikki Lilly
    Jun 15 2026
    Living with a chronic illness in your 20s can feel like carrying an invisible weight that nobody else can see. Beyond the hospital appointments, surgeries, medications and diagnoses, there is a hidden psychological burden: the anxiety, grief, uncertainty, identity struggles and resilience required to keep moving forward when your body feels beyond your control. In this week's episode, I sit down with content creator, advocate and broadcaster Nikki Lilly to discuss what it's really like growing up with a rare medical condition, navigating facial differences, online bullying, and building a meaningful life despite constant uncertainty. We discuss:
    • The hidden psychological impact of chronic illness
    • Medical trauma, PTSD and the long road to healing
    • How chronic illness affects your relationship with your body
    • Online bullying, discrimination and appearance-based judgment
    • Plus her time at the Oscars and her vision for her future
