You're not the only one who overthinks, who spirals, who obsesses over that argument or the funny look someone gave you after you cracked a "joke".

Today, Tim & J go over the "Oh my god if only I said that..." or the "jeeeez, what did that look mean? Did I just say something terrible? What if I've mortally offended them? It was just a joke, I didn't mean anything by it – so why did they look at me like that? What's wrong with me? What does that say about me as a person?"

...oh wait... it was actually fine.

And it's a return of the Non-Certified Therapy Club. Get in touch today – terrible advice GUARANTEED!

Why do we compare ourselves to others? And how can you stop feeling like everyone else is doing better than you?

Sometimes it’s hard to avoid feeling like everyone else is smashing life while you’re… well, just... existing. This week, Tim and J dive headfirst into the comparison trap: the ways we measure ourselves against friends, colleagues, influencers, and sometimes complete strangers – and how envy quietly eats away at our contentment.

We talk social media feeds engineered to prey on insecurity, the workplace moments that trigger “why not me?”, and why validation feels good in person but dangerous online. There’s also stag do culture, AI shortcuts, body image insecurities, and Shakespeare’s 400-year-old take on the whole thing.

Hopefully, you'll see this as a reminder that the most valuable things we’ve got can’t be measured or compared.

The burnout is real, and Tim's therapist (and Alexa, apparently) warned him it might happen...

Today, we're chatting all about what burnout actually is, how it feels, and how we're trying to combat the effect that burning out has on mental health.

Feeling neither happy nor sad, going through the motions, getting a bit downtrodden, and feeling sort of meh. It's all part of it, and it can happen to anyone - so we're here to give you a little friendly nudge and say "keep your eyes peeled", because it'll creep up on you.

Elsewhere, Tim gets confused about homoerectus and J gets equally confused about anemones, before (again) asking if we can take Man vs Mind on a bodacious, excellent time travel adventure...

So buckle up. If you're feeling like you can't put your finger on how you're feeling, if you're asking "am I burnt out? Do I have burnout?" then listen up.
