In today's episode, we're exploring the topics of optimism, pessimism, and realism. These are different attitudes towards life and the future and can have a massive impact on your happiness and mental health.
I go over the definitions and words, discuss some possible benefits of being pessimistic, and give many tips on how and why you can be more optimistic in life.
A really fun episode filled with English vocabulary, and hopefully quite motivational too.

Paola from the Talaera Talks podcast and I are doing a cross-post episode today. You can also find this episode and many more over on their podcast.
The topic is all about jobs, careers, and business English expression. We start by asking questions to each other, using our own work experience to give examples of when to use these expressions.
We then talk about advice on how to get a job when English isn't your first language, and a bit on work-life balance.

This is something I've been working on in my own life for many years, and I feel like I might have something useful to share on this topic.
So in this episode, I talk about a few tips that you can implement to have a better sense of work-life balance and enjoy your life more, regardless of how many hours you have to work each day.

I recently went back to my home country - the UK - for the first time in a quite a while and was fascinated by how the UK appeared to me after being away for a while.
There was a lot that I found strange, unusual, and interesting that I wasn't really aware of while I was still living in England.
In this episode, I discuss some of my feelings and culture shock experiences, and perhaps some of you can relate to these experiences when you visit the UK for the first time.

I just came back from a trip in Europe and I thought I'd get on the microphone today and review some of the good and bad experiences I had there.
I made the adventurous decision to travel from London all the way to Istanbul by train (listen to the episode to see why I didn't make it all the way!)
In this episode, I talk about my experience sleeping on trains, my time in each country, and why I suddenly changed my travel plans. There are also some useful expressions and vocabulary to help improve your English throughout.This is a very casual, chatty episode, so hopefully you don't mind.
