You say you’ve moved on—but you’re still punishing yourself for things that weren’t your fault.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy and Iona dig into the quiet, sneaky ways self-punishment shows up in our lives… even when we don’t realise we’re doing it.

We talk about:

• The guilt hangover you carry from childhood

• How shame disguises itself as overworking, overthinking, and isolation

• Why some of us push away good things because we don’t feel we’ve “earned” them

• And how we repeat old punishments when we never felt seen or forgiven

💬 “You’re not lazy, stuck, or selfish—you’re still trying to make sense of something that hurt you a long time ago.”

This episode is for the person who beats themselves up for needing rest.
For the one who doesn’t let themselves feel joy.
For anyone who’s harder on themselves than anyone else ever could be.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be past this by now,” this one’s for you.

🎧 A compassionate, unfiltered look at why we struggle to let ourselves off the hook—and what happens when we finally stop trying to earn our worth.

You finally start to feel better… and then suddenly you’re questioning everything.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona unpack one of the weirdest parts of personal growth: when it feels wrong, even though you know deep down it’s right.

We talk about:

• Why peace can feel boring when you’re used to chaos

• How your brain mistakes the unfamiliar for danger

• The guilt that shows up when you stop people-pleasing

• And why choosing yourself feels selfish—even when it’s not

💬 “Sometimes you don’t feel safe in the calm—because you were raised in the storm.”

This one’s for anyone who’s tried to break a pattern, change a habit, or take a new path—and ended up feeling like they’ve betrayed something or someone in the process.

If growth has ever felt lonely, unsettling, or just wrong, this episode will help you make sense of why. And remind you: just because it’s unfamiliar doesn’t mean it’s unsafe.

🎧 Raw truths, plenty of laughter, and that classic Tickety Boo mix of insight and honesty.

f your feelings weren’t seen, heard, or valued growing up—there’s a good chance you learned to disappear in plain sight.

In this raw episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona open up about the long shadow emotional neglect can cast over your adult life.

We talk about:

• How you learn to minimise your needs to keep the peace

• Why ‘being easy’ or ‘low maintenance’ is often survival, not personality

• The inner critic you inherit when no one teaches you how to feel

• And how self-abandonment becomes a habit before you even realise it

💬 “It’s not that you don’t know what you want—it’s that you stopped asking a long time ago.”

We explore the uncomfortable truth: when your emotional world wasn’t mirrored back to you as a child, you grow up disconnected from it—and from yourself.

This episode is for anyone who was the 'good one', the quiet one, the fixer. The ones who learned to read the room better than they ever learned to read themselves.

🎧 Expect honesty, humour, and a few hard-hitting truths.
Because healing starts the moment you realise: you’re allowed to take up space.
