| 5/4/26 |  Fatigue and how to explain it | Fatigue is one of the most common—and misunderstood—parts of living with a chronic illness. In this episode, we unpack what fatigue really is (hint: it’s not just being tired), why it happens, and why it can feel so unpredictable and overwhelming. Drawing on both our clinical work and lived experience, we explore the physical, cognitive, and emotional layers of fatigue—and the science behind it.We also revisit themes from our early episode “I get tired too”, where we looked at the impact of comparisons and (mostly) well-meaning misunderstandings.Most importantly, we share practical ways to explain fatigue to others—so you can feel better understood, set clearer boundaries, and reduce that frustrating gap between how you feel and how you’re perceived.Whether you live with fatigue or support someone who does, this episode will help make the invisible, visible.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 4/30/26 |  An Interview with Devon - Early Onset Parkinson's | What does it feel like to be 35 years old, living abroad, building a career you love, and then having a doctor tell you in five minutes that you have Parkinson's disease? Today's guest, Devon, was doing exactly that, working in refugee protection across the globe when a small tremor in her right hand at a late night dinner in Greece changed everything. In this conversation, Devin opens up about what it's really like to live with early onset Parkinson's. The shock of a diagnosis that most people don't face until their sixties, the years of quietly carrying it, while continuing to do deeply meaningful work and the tension between what others see and what's happening underneath. She reflects on identity being viewed differently and what it's like to move through the world when your life no longer fits the expected timeline and how she's been making sense of that in her own way. We hope you enjoy.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 4/27/26 | Disability Tax and the Inconvenience of Chronic Illness | Ever feel like you’re doing the same things as everyone else… but it somehow costs you more? Welcome to the disability tax. In this episode, Sally and Seona unpack the invisible price of living with a chronic health condition — and spoiler: it’s not just about money.We’re talking energy, time, mental load, emotions, identity, and yes, the literal financial hit too. From the effort it takes just to leave the house, to the constant background calculations of “can I do this and what will it cost me later?” — this episode names the stuff so many people feel but struggle to explain.Because when it’s unnamed, it often turns into guilt, shame, or feeling “behind.”This is your reminder: you’re not failing — you’re carrying more.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 4/20/26 | This Isn't Fair | There’s a thought that shows up at some point for most people living with a chronic illness: “This isn’t fair.”In this episode, we explore where that thought comes from, why it’s so common — especially early on — and why it can continue to resurface over time. We unpack the idea of fairness itself, the emotional weight behind comparison and lost expectations, and how this thought shows up across identity, relationships, work, and parenting.This isn’t about trying to “fix” the feeling or force positivity. It’s about understanding it, making space for it, and finding a way to hold it without letting it take over.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 4/13/26 | Should I Have Kids? | Deciding whether to have kids is a big question — and when you’re living with a chronic health condition, it can feel even more complex. In this episode of But You Look So Good, psychologists Sally and Seona explore the emotional, practical, and deeply personal layers of this decision. From navigating “what ifs” and uncertainty, to managing other people’s opinions and your own self-doubt, they unpack the realities many don’t talk about.This isn’t about telling you what to do — it’s about helping you reflect on what matters most to you. Whether you’re firmly undecided, leaning one way, or simply curious, this conversation offers validation, honesty, and compassion.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 4/6/26 | Being “Othered” - On the Outside Looking In | In this episode, we talk about the experience of being “othered” — what it is, why it hurts so much, and why so many people with chronic health conditions experience it. We explore the psychological impact of feeling different, the shame that often comes with it, and how to build a life where different does not mean alone.We also talk about the identity shift that often comes with chronic illness, the experience of living in the in‑between space, and the grief that can come from no longer fitting into your old life but not yet knowing where you fit now. This episode is about belonging, identity, shame, and learning to build a life that fits your capacity rather than trying to force yourself to fit a life that doesn’t.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 3/30/26 | Unicorn Standards — The Pressure to Be Everything, Even When You’re Struggling | The pressure to hold it all together, keep achieving, and be “fine” - even when your body is anything but.In this episode, we explore the idea of “unicorn standards” - the often invisible, unrelenting expectations we place on ourselves to do more, be more, and cope better than is realistically possible.When you’re living with a chronic health condition, these standards can become even harsher… leaving you feeling like you’re constantly falling short, no matter how much you’re carrying.This episode is a gentle unpacking of where these standards come from, the cost of holding onto them, and how to begin softening them in a way that honours your current capacity - not some idealised version of who you think you should be.If you’ve ever felt exhausted from trying to meet impossible expectations, this one is for you.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 3/23/26 | Cancer can be a chronic health condition - An interview with Sarah | Today we’re speaking with Sarah, a 45-year-old woman from Perth who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 after a routine mammogram. While Sarah is now cancer-free after a year of intensive treatment, her story highlights a reality that often goes unspoken: being cancer-free doesn’t always mean being free of cancer.In this conversation, Sarah talks about the experience of living in the space between illness and health, the pressure to appear “fine” when life has changed, and how cancer can become a chronic health condition — something you live with, not just something you go through.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 3/16/26 | Loneliness and Isolation living with a chronic health condition | Loneliness and isolation are experiences many people describe when living with a chronic health condition. Sometimes it’s the reality of relationships changing or people drifting away. Other times, it’s a quieter loneliness - the feeling of being surrounded by people who care, yet still feeling alone in an experience that others may not fully understand. In this episode, we explore what loneliness can feel like when you’re living with a chronic condition, why it happens, and some gentle ways people begin to reconnect - with others and with themselves - even while life has changed.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 3/2/26 | To Those Who Love Us - What it’s really like to love someone whose life, body, or identity has changed | What it’s really like to love someone whose life, body, or identity has changedThis episode is for the people who stay - partners, friends, parents, siblings - who are trying to love someone whose life has changed, and quietly wonder if they’re getting it right.We talk about what it actually feels like on both sides of change: the grief that sits heavily, the awkwardness that can creep into conversations, the way reassurance can miss the mark, and why things can feel harder even when someone “looks okay.”This isn’t an episode about fixing, advising, or doing love perfectly.It’s about understanding, presence, and learning how to stand beside someone when certainty disappears.If you love someone whose body, identity, or life looks different than it once did - and you’re trying to find your place in that - this episode is for you.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 2/23/26 | Multitasking Is a Myth: Why Our Brains Struggle (and How to Take the Pressure Off) | We live in a world that glorifies multitasking - answering emails while listening to a podcast, cooking dinner while helping with homework, scrolling while “relaxing.” But what if multitasking isn’t a superpower at all? In this episode, we explore the psychology and neuroscience behind why our brains struggle to do multiple cognitively demanding tasks at once. We unpack the concept of “switch costs,” cognitive load, dopamine, and why constant task-switching can increase stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue.We also dive into why multitasking can feel especially overwhelming when you live with a chronic health condition. Fatigue, pain, brain fog, and fluctuating energy mean your cognitive bandwidth is already stretched - and the pressure to “keep up” can make things worse.This is a compassionate conversation about capacity, nervous system regulation, and how shifting toward monotasking can reduce stress and help you honour your energy — without guilt.

| 2/16/26 | Finding Flow when your body has other plans | What does “flow” mean when your body has other plans?We hear athletes at the Winter Olympics talk about being “in the zone” - moments where time disappears, movement feels effortless, and everything just clicks. But for people living with chronic health conditions, those versions of flow can feel distant, lost, or even painful to hear about.In this episode of But You Look So Good, Sally and Seona explore the psychology of flow and gently reimagine what it can look like in a chronically ill body. We talk about the kinds of flow many people had access to before diagnosis - sport, dance, intensity, productivity - and how flow often changes shape after illness.This isn’t about pushing through or getting back to who you were. It’s about noticing quieter moments of absorption: listening to music, cooking a familiar meal, being fully present with someone you trust. Flow doesn’t disappear — it adapts. And sometimes, it meets us exactly where we are.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 2/9/26 | When Friendships Change After Diagnosis | Who stays, who fades, and how to grieve that (and come out the other side).Friendships can be for a reason, a season or for a lifetime. Living with a chronic health condition can make navigating friendships seem more difficult sometimes.Chronic illness doesn’t just change bodies - it changes relationships. In this episode, we explore what happens to friendships after diagnosis: why some deepen, why some drift, and how to cope with both the loss and the evolution. We talk about expectations, boundaries, reciprocity, and the quiet grief that isn’t always acknowledged. This is for everyone who’s ever wondered, “Why don’t they call anymore?”Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 2/2/26 | Blue & Green Spaces: Why Nature Is Powerful for Our Health | We often talk about diet, movement and medication when it comes to health - but what about where we spend our time?In this episode, we explore blue spaces (oceans, rivers, lakes) and green spaces (parks, forests, gardens) and why time in nature isn’t just “nice” - it’s genuinely good for our physical and mental wellbeing.With a particular focus on people living with chronic health conditions, we unpack how nature can support nervous system regulation, reduce stress, improve mood, and offer connection - even when capacity is limited.This isn’t about hiking mountains or doing more. It’s about noticing what helps — and finding gentle, accessible ways to bring nature into your life.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 1/26/26 | People-Pleasing & The Invisible Toll on Your Health | In this episode, psychologists Sally and Seona unpack why so many people with chronic health conditions fall into people-pleasing, over-functioning, or peacekeeping roles — and the huge emotional and physical cost that comes with it.We explore where these patterns come from (spoiler: childhood roles, culture, trauma, gender expectations, and fear of conflict), why they often intensify after a chronic illness diagnosis, and why shifting out of them feels both necessary and terrifying.Most importantly, we talk about what healthier boundaries actually look like, how to start disappointing people in small, safe ways, and why reclaiming your energy is not selfish — it’s survival.If you’ve ever found yourself saying yes when every fibre of your body was saying no… this one’s for you.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 1/5/26 | Introverts, Extroverts & Your Social Battery - Why It Matters When You Live With a Chronic Illness | In this episode, Sally and Seona unpack what introversion and extroversion really mean — and why understanding your social energy becomes even more important when you’re living with a chronic health condition.They explore how chronic illness can change your social battery, why socialising may feel more draining or complicated than it used to, and how this isn’t a personal failing but a nervous system reality. The conversation offers language for guilt, grief, and shifting capacity, and practical ways to pace social connection more kindly.Whether you need more solitude, crave connection but tire quickly, or feel caught between the two, this episode helps you better understand your energy, set gentler boundaries, and honour both who you are and what your body needs.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

Together, they explore how to acknowledge challenges, honour invisible effort, and make sense of change without slipping into self-blame or pressure.The conversation then turns toward 2026, with a focus on setting intentions rather than rigid goals. Sally and Seona share their own reflections and intentions, and discuss how values-based, flexible intentions can better support fluctuating energy, health, and capacity.This episode is a compassionate end-of-year check-in — a reminder that rest is productive, pausing is allowed, and growth doesn’t have to look loud or linear.

| 12/1/25 | Can We Talk? Effective Communication for Real Life | Communication feels like it should come naturally — we speak every day, after all — but real, effective communication isn’t instinctive. It’s a learned skill, not a personality trait. And if you’ve ever thought, “I’m just not good at communicating,” here’s the good news: you absolutely can learn it, strengthen it, and make it work for you.In this episode, we unpack why communicating can feel so much harder when you’re juggling symptoms, fatigue, emotions, or just the general overwhelm of life. Because let’s be honest — expressing your needs, setting boundaries, or navigating tricky conversations takes energy… and sometimes you simply don’t have much to give.We’re here to normalise it: you’re not bad at communicating — you’re tired, stretched, and human. Join us as we explore practical, compassionate ways to communicate more clearly, kindly, and confidently, even when you’re not at your best.Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)MS: Get Your Head Around It!

| 11/24/25 | Running on Spoons | Ever wondered why people with chronic illness talk so much about spoons?In today’s episode, psychologists Sally and Seona dive into Spoon Theory - the cutlery-based metaphor that attempts to explain what it’s like to navigate life with limited energy. They unpack the origin story of the theory, created in 2003 by writer Christine Miserandino, who used a handful of spoons in a restaurant to explain the invisible daily costs of living with lupus.Sally and Seona chat about why the spoon metaphor resonates so deeply with people living with chronic health conditions, how it helps with communication, pacing and planning, and why “spoonies” everywhere have proudly embraced it. Expect laughs, real-life examples, and gentle validation for anyone who’s ever had to choose between washing their hair or answering an email.Whether you're running on one spoon or a full drawer, this episode is for you.Free Webinar - All I Want For Christmas...
