Still Panicking: This spooky week we look back on the best Autumnal and Halloween How Tos.To honour the spooky season Stevie and Tessa got friend of the podcast and author of ‘All Our Hidden Gifts’ Caroline O’Donoghue to explain tarot! We learn about how pentacles are all about the admin, how 5s are always a bit of a downer and Stevie is moved to buy another pack because her tarot mainly depicts hogs with their butts out. Want to support Nobody Panic?

Nobody Panic is going on a brief hiatus and Tessa can't stop crying every time it's discussed, so Stevie and Tessa deep dive into how to let someone down (even if you're not actually letting them down, but you just FEEL like you are). We'll be back soon everyone!

Think you're not creative? You are. Every human being is creative in some way! Tessa has been doing The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron and Stevie has been doing Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and they both discuss how to get the creative juices flowing in any field.

Stevie realises she has fundamentally misunderstood the concept of the fridge dial in this rollercoaster of a journey through organising your fridge. She thought this would be quite straightforward but, as ever, it turns into an emotional excavation of the Self (and whether you should put ketchup in the cupboard or not).Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

Tessa's getting married! She's also planning a proper wedding with generators and a marquee, so has lots of advice for anyone about to wade into the admin hell. And also has inadvertently set up an entire company purely to buy plates a tiny bit cheaper. Maybe don't follow that piece of advice. Or do?

Friends having babies? Not sure what to take round when you go to meet the new baby? Stevie put a callout on Instagram and there was a real consistency with the answers. In fact there's essentially only one thing new mums want and let us tell you, it's not an ornate Victorian hot air balloon (this is what Tessa took round to her friend).Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

You’d think this was fairly straightforward, so why is it so hard to admit defeat? Why do we use words like “admit defeat” when discussing a book? The book doesn’t know you’re not reading it! Stevie had these epiphanies recently, after pretending to read Crime and Punishment for circa 25 years, and Tessa is eager to learn.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

If you or anyone you know is running the London marathon (or any marathon) and would like to feel much better about your training: Tessa ran two marathons, one without much training and one without any. She didn’t die, she was quite angry at herself the second time, but this is crucial listening if you’re fed up of high performance sports podcasts and wish to listen to someone who has gone through many people’s (Stevie‘s) worst nightmare and come out the other side.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

Morning! Bored of toast? Stuck in a cereal rut? Constantly getting overwhelmed and eating one single mini egg (this may or may not be Tessa’s experience)?

Today's episode is brought to you by Stevie, Tessa and the amazing Fi - a 'spacecraft thermal engineer'(!), podcast listener, and Excel champion, who offers her exceptional talents and guidance to two gals terrified of spreadsheets. A beginner's guide to Excel for the chronically afraid. A genuinely helpful episode (we think).  Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

Stevie got a massage and loved it. Tessa gets them all the time for her stressed body. Together they offer advice if you’re thinking about going for the first time and, quite frankly, get far too worried about how to tell if your masseuse is going to give you a “happy ending” or not.

Stevie brings a lot to the (bedside) table in today's existential crisis/light-hearted advice podcast. What is a bedside table? Is yours three apple crates stacked precariously on top of each other, too shallow to hold a book, and too narrow to balance a lamp?

Dear Diary, today Stevie and Tessa did an amazing podcast on journalling. It was inspired by a listener suggestion, and the aforementioned listener wrote several detailed questions which they worked through in order and found to be a particularly helpful structure. They discussed bullet journalling, whether you need a nice notebook, Tessa's fears over being arrested for a murder she did not commit, and what pen to use.

There's more! In the second part of this two-part episode, Stevie and Tessa discuss changes, improvements, tips, tricks, medication and the greater understanding of herself Tessa has developed since her diagnosis.

As a surprise to absolutely no one, turns out Tessa has ADHD! Who'd have thought it! Well some of you as it turns out, and god bless everyone who has messaged her over the years to say 'hello, not to intrude, but do you think you might have ADHD?' She does! You were completely right! The first part of this two part episode is a look at what ADHD is, what the diagnosis process looked like for Tessa, a lovely little 12 question quiz you can play along at home and a really long story about a moose.

How? How do you do it? How do you tell your crush from work that you'd like to upgrade things to the next level, and the next level is dating? Are they into it? How can you be sure?
