How to Survive Your Life

Shame

Travel

For some, travel is a regular thing. For others, it's a once-in-a-lifetime odyssey. Either way, it's an adventure. Seek some knowledge, go to the bookstore (again), and trust (actually don't) your phone as Molly, Kayleigh, and guest Sam Irving, an improviser and world-traveler, help you navigate and survive travel. Sam Irving is an improviser with over a decade's experience, most notably performing across the UK with award-winning Scottish improv groups Men With Coconuts and the Spontaneous Players. Prior to this, he has spent three years living and working in China. When not on stage or in a motorway Travelodge, Sam enjoys writing, translating poetry, Dungeons and Dragons, and board games which nobody else wants to learn the rules to.

Periods

Half the population has them or has had them and yet it's still a bit taboo to talk about. And whether you have one or not, Kayleigh, Molly, and guest Hana Jarrah, an Arab British drama teacher and workshop facilitator, are doing the good work and talking Periods.  Get ready to talk (a lot) and go to the book store as we help you survive Periods.

Restaurants

Whether you are working in one or are a customer, people have a lot of opinions and feelings about restaurants. It can feel a bit of feast or famine and we are not just talking about food.
