Life has a habit of interrupting your plans — sometimes quietly, sometimes all at once. And you don’t always want advice or answers, you just want to know you’re not the only one trying to make sense of it.

Life Happens* is a weekly lifestyle podcast built around honest conversation. Psychology student Michelle R Williams and media veteran Nick Hirst come together from two very different generations to talk about modern life as it’s actually lived — with uncertainty, confusion, hopes and ambitions along the way.

With warmth, banter, humanity and insight, they don’t pretend to have it all figured out, instead they explore how it feels when life doesn’t go as planned.

Because life happens*

*but you can too!

  • #11 Keeping a stiff upper lip
    Feb 3 2026

    How do different cultures show emotion—and what can reality TV reveal about emotional expression?

    In this episode of Life Happens*, Michelle and Nick explore how UK and US versions of the same reality TV show display strikingly different emotional responses. They unpack the cultural idea of “keeping a stiff upper lip,” its surprising American origins, and whether we’re becoming more emotionally literate as a society.

    🎧 Listen in to this week’s episode as the two, inter-generational hosts discuss whether we are becoming more emotionally literate.

    Jan 13 2026

    Have you ever thought about moving abroad or starting a new life in another country? Uprooting yourself — and possibly your family — in the hope of a better lifestyle is a big decision, but one many people consider at the start of a new year.

    In this episode of Life Happens*, we explore what it’s really like to relocate overseas. Is the grass truly greener when you move to another country, or do the challenges of expat life outweigh the rewards? From culture shock and homesickness to career changes and personal growth, we dive into the realities of living abroad.

    The Life Happens* hosts speak from first-hand experience. Michelle has recently returned after six months living in the USA, while Nick is currently living in his sixth country. Together, they share honest insights into international relocation — the highs and lows, the benefits and drawbacks, and the unexpected lessons learned along the way.

    If you’re thinking about moving overseas, considering an international move, or simply curious about life as an expat, this episode offers practical advice, real stories, and plenty of food for thought.

    🎧 Listen now to Life Happens* and join the conversation about moving abroad, embracing change, and building a life beyond borders.
