You Need to Prioritise Your Friendships

You Need to Just Do It

This week on You Don’t Need a Hamster, You Need a Therapist, it’s all about doing the thing. You know the one—the thing you’ve been talking about forever but keep putting off because someone somewhere might have an opinion about it? Yeah. That thing. Whether it’s quitting your job, dyeing your hair blue, signing up for that course, or finally booking the one-way ticket, we’re here to say: do it. Millie talks about the terrifying magic of stepping outside your comfort zone, the weird joy of talking to strangers, and the kind of personal growth that only comes from being very uncomfortable for a while.

You Need Everything to Go Wrong

This week on You Don’t Need a Hamster, You Need a Therapist, things get a little bit deep (okay, a lot deep) as Millie opens up about what it actually looked like to find her passion—spoiler: it wasn’t a vision board and green juice situation. From dropping out of drama school to moving to America with more questions than answers, this episode is a very real look at what happens when life doesn’t go to plan—and how sometimes, hitting rock bottom is weirdly the thing that cracks everything open. There’s reflection, hope, a few plot twists, and maybe a small identity crisis or two, but hey—who among us hasn’t had one of those lately? So if you’re feeling stuck, lost, or just nose-diving into the unknown, this one’s for you. You’re definitely not alone.

You Need to Reflect and Rejoice!

So grab your snacks, settle in, and come hang with two besties figuring life out in real time. It’s reflective, it’s chaotic, it’s a little unhinged—in the best way.

Between forgotten birthdays, scheduling crises, and the ever-present temptation to just hibernate and disassociate, they explore why prioritising your friendships isn’t just wholesome—it’s essential. From voice notes to shared memes to crying at 3am together, they reflect on what makes friendships actually work in this chaotic decade and the reality that is – You need to prioritise your friendships!
