  • Mental Masturbation, ADHD and Inside A Mind with Tom McCormick!
    Nov 5 2024

    Welcome to The Waffle Shop


    Today we are straight from winning at The Independent Podcast Awards to the studio with fellow podcaster Tom McCormick!


    Tom joins me for a waffle about his brilliant podcast 'Inside A Mind', which aims to provide relatable conversations about mental health struggles and provides some incredible tools that the listener can implement


    We also delve into Tom's ADHD journey and the misconceptions surrounding it. ADHD seems to be a bit of a buzzword at the moment, so it was refreshing to hear Tom's take on the diagnosis process and the dangers of social media's impact on self-diagnosing


    The conversation also touches on the need for boundaries to protect mental well-being, the struggle with work-life balance, and the concept of 'mental masturbation' in productivity.


    I really hope you enjoy it!

    They dive into personal anecdotes, discuss the importance of celebrating small wins, and reflect on the emotional impact of loss. The conversation delves into cultural perspectives on success and failure, emphasising the value of resilience and learning from experiences.

  • Liar Liar Pants on Fire!
    Sep 25 2024

    Welcome to The Waffle Shop!


    In this week's episode, myself and Emma dive deep into the topic of Lying!


    We explore the complexities of lying, from little white lies to the moral dilemmas we all face when deciding whether to be honest. From piano playing to Hedge Pigs, we discuss the lies we told when we were younger, right through to the lies we were told as kids!


    The big questions, however, are: Is withholding the truth the same as lying? And have you ever seen a Hedge Pig?


    As always, we would love to hear what you think! Drop us a DM or email taylor@waffleshoppodcast to be involved!
