Coping With Crashing Out
After decades of being sold the idea, especially as women, that the regulated self is the healthy self, we’re collectively hitting breaking point. This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson are onboard to analyse the shift – all stations to crash out central. We cover the big‑feelings energy of Gracie Abrams’ new Look At My Life music vid, the unsettled debate between catharsis and suppression, the reality tv blow-ups that raised us, and the 72‑part internet dramas that are maybe a little too much (even for us).☆ Flavour up your Dry July with Angostura Bitters. We’ll see you at the bar this month with a lemon lime n Angostura bitters in hand, our go-to non-alc choice (it’s a literal Aussie icon). ☆Look At My Life music video by Gracie Abrams Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn What Does 'Crashing Out' Mean?

Coping With Sleep
We now know soooo much about sleep – how much we should be getting, how much we actually aren’t, the “multivolume fright compendium” of risks attached to not enough sleep, and the booming optimisation industry promising to fix it all. And yet the more we chase the perfect eight hours with all the right tools, the further away it seems to drift.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson pull apart our collective obsession with “fixing” sleep. We get into the viral TikTok bedtime routines engineered for peak rest, sleep as the latest optimisation frontier for the hustlers among us, and the people who simply can’t sleep – from chronic insomnia to the genetics of true short sleepers. If you don’t hear from us next week? Idk we’re probably sleeping. ☆ Flavour up your Dry July with Angostura Bitters.

Coping With Risk
Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, of Skywalkers Netflix documentary fame, climbed the Empire State Building without ropes, got engaged at the summit as the world watched on, and claimed it was all in service of a message about peace and love. This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson unpack why we’re so drawn to the daredevils among us (the biology, the psychology, the myth-making) and how our relationship with risk continues to evolve – shaped by context, age, and even the generation we grew up in. ☆ Flavour up your Dry July with Angostura Bitters. We’ll see you at the bar this month with a lemon lime n Angostura bitters in hand, our go-to non-alc choice (it’s a literal Aussie icon). ☆Climbers Get Engaged Atop Empire State Building.

Coping With Decision Fatigue
From the daily choices that drain us (what to eat, what to wear, which tab to close), to the big existential questions we procrastinate on out of sheer overwhelm (Alice Griffin: “who am I”, etc.) we’ve never been more exhausted by our own decision‑making.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson pull apart the paradox of choice in the age of infinite options: Elyse Myers’ viral video resurfacing as decision fatigue in action, maximisers vs satisficers (tag yourself), and what actually happens when we try to remove every friction from our lives. So which choices genuinely deserve our energy and where can we opt out? ☆ Flavour up your Dry July with Angostura Bitters.

Coping With Failure
In a culture obsessed with comeback arcs and self‑improvement, we’ve turned failure into something it was never meant to be: productive, meaningful, and always redeemable. But real life is messier. Some flops teach us, some flops just hurt, and some flops become lore… (if you were in the audience at Bongo’s Bingo, pls come forward).This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson dissect ‘the flop’ in the age of AI, hyper‑curation, and personal branding – from Lizzo and her new album BITCH all the way to Grand Designs (trust us), we explore why some people choose to reclaim their failures and others own them as lessons. ☆ Are you a creative looking for support? Visit the Support Act Creative Industries Hub or call the Support Act Wellbeing Helpline on 1800 959 500 for a free and confidential chat (and remember, you don't have to be in crisis to call). Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who actually gets it and can hear you out. ☆Lizzo’s New Album Didn’t Even Chart.

Coping With Intuition
In her new album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, Olivia Rodrigo sings, “It’s feminine intuition, ’cause I always had a vision of us standing like this”, and Jannah couldn’t agree more. (Alice has notes). We live in the most information‑heavy moment in human history, yet we’ve never felt less certain. So this week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson turn inward to examine intuition itself: Olivia Rodrigo’s album and the wave of intuition content it’s spawned, the gut feelings that felt like more than coincidence, and the booming psychic‑industrial complex attempting to sell our “inner knowing” back to us at scale. The irony being that the more we try to outsource intuition, the less we’re able to trust our own.And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps: your clothes are trying to kill you (they’re not), and the skincare being marketed to three-year-olds. ☆ Fancy doing more IRL?

Coping With Our Phones
We all know the endless research on the negative effects of our phones. And yet, we keep picking them up.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson dig into the so-called solutions – dumb phones, no‑phone policies, two‑device lifestyles – and ask whether any of them are actually helping us break compulsive habits, or just giving us new ways to aestheticise restraint.Plus, because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps: we’re calling for justice for beta blockers on the set of the Summer House Reunion, and yes, witchcraft is in (more on that soon). ☆ Save the date: the Glitter Gel Pen Book Club will be joining us at the Coping Studio on 25 June for the launch of our Silent Reading Sessions (and coming back monthly!). ☆Watch: Summer House Reunion Part 3 (essential viewing!!)

Coping With Frugality
We’re in a cost‑of‑living crisis (but you knew that already). While being frugal isn’t a choice for most of us, it’s seen influencers take a hard pivot to de-influencing, underconsumption core, frugal chic, and month-long spending freezes. Somehow not buying things has become a trend of its own and, inevitably, an industry.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson share their favourite case studies of frugality – from Bradley on a Budget to Hollywood’s infamous poverty cosplays to the influencers thrifting their way through fashion week voxpops. And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps: we’ve got a man on the inside of an IRL wellness challenge, plus the rise of parasite cleanses (DON’T try at home).Shout out to Laher for supporting this episode of Coping !
