Coping With The AI Takeover 21.09.2026 36นาทีAI experts, executives, and inventors themselves are sounding the alarm – warning us that an AI takeover could threaten all of humanity within just the next ten years. In other words, the call is coming from INSIDE the house.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson unpack the full context behind the looming AI threat and its potential ten‑year countdown (and why the narrative is, unsurprisingly, more complicated than the spooky, scary headlines). They contemplate the echo chamber inside Silicon Valley, the psychology that makes our worst‑case scenarios feel super inevitable, and the machine‑god anxieties that have shaped culture for centuries. In a conversation about AI fears, futurism, and the ethics of progress, they mull over our obsession with acceleration – whether it’s sustainable, whether it’s necessary, and whether our future actually involves living among the stars (or just coping with what we’ve already built). ☆ Want to stop guessing what your chart is trying to tell you?

Coping With Labels 14.09.2026 35นาทีAre you Type A or Type B? (Justice for Type C !)Maybe the label you’ve given yourself feels grounding (and that’s okay!). Maybe it’s limiting – something you’ve been trying to shake off..? Or maybe you’ve turned a label into a sort of playbook, a personality shorthand we were never really meant to rely on.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson dive into self‑imposed labels – dissecting the logic of Myers-Briggs and comparing their own Enneagram results as they unpack the universal urge to categorise ourselves. And can you ever truly shake off a label once it’s been culturally assigned… sometimes en masse?

Coping With Surveillance 07.09.2026 39นาทีWe’re being watched: by surveillance cameras, safety tools, strangers in public, our own devices, and now by wearable tech that turns every interaction into potential content. Observation has become the ambient condition – part convenience, part paranoia.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson unpack the psychology of being observed in how it shapes the calculated self, mull over the ethical questions raised by the latest wave of wearable tech like Meta Glasses, and confess the accidental data breaches from their own lives. It seems that the next era of surveillance culture might reshape our inner lives long before legislation ever catches up.Modernising Australia’s Privacy Laws for the Digital Age, Attorney-General Michelle Rowland’s press releaseI Feel So Sorry For My AI Sunglasses by Sam Anderson, New York TimesMeta’s Smart Ray-Ban Glasses Let Me Live in the Moment.

Coping with Revenge 31.08.2026 34นาทีWe root for revenge plots in our tv shows (beware: House of the Dragon spoilers ahead!), appeal to a sense of karmic justice, hunt for it in celebrity narratives, and even fantasise about getting our own one day.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson unpack the psychology of vengeance, why it feels so titillating, and whether the payoff is ever what we had hoped. Plus, why do we cheer louder when women and marginalised characters finally get their moment? A reminder that revenge stories often tell us more about our cultural hunger for balancing the scales than the act itself ever could.☆ Are you a creative looking for support?

Coping With Memory 24.08.2026 39นาทีWe’d like to think our memories are fixed but most of us are running on vibes, fragments, and deeply emotional edits n reedits. Our brains so easily forget the “important” stuff, cling to the weirdest details, and seemingly rewrite entire chapters without permission. And the things we actually do remember often says more about who we are now than whatever happened way back when. This week, Alice Griffin (resident unreliable narrator) and Jannah Anderson (she’s got receipts) dive into the mechanics of how memory actually works, the psychology behind recall, the fear of forgetting, and the stories we build from our own mental archives. And how much are we already outsourcing to Big Tech from a scale of 1-that Black Mirror episode?? ☆ Are you a creative looking for support?

Coping With Boredom 17.08.2026 34นาทีBoredom has gone from something we avoid to something we curate – a new metric in the self‑care economy to measure ourselves by. From 'rawdogging boredom' challenges to the obsession with performing “slow creativity,” we’re told stillness is a portal to a better, more imaginative self. But the research is messy, and our lived experiences even more so. This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson dig into the neuroscience of boredom, the rise of the serial hobbyist, the existential itches that keep us chasing novelty, and the cultural urge to make boredom meaningful – even when the moments in between fail to deliver us anything profound.☆ Are you a creative looking for support?

Coping With Doomsday 10.08.2026 34นาทีDoomsday prepping has gone mainstream. What was once a fringe fixation tucked away on conspiracy forums has morphed into a booming industry, with everyday people stockpiling, strategising, and spending (a lot) in the name of “being prepared.”This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson sit with the existential threats uniquely shaping our generation, the preppers taking that fear to its furthest extreme, the brands that saw an opportunity to sell safety, and ultimately ask whether a state of hypervigilance actually soothes our anxiety or just feeds it. After all, what’s worse: the apocalypse (and the world’s least satisfying “I told you so”), or realising you spent your life waiting for it?Prepper Used To Be A Dirty Word.

Coping With Closure 03.08.2026 33นาทีWe’re taught to crave closure – the tidy explanation, the perfectly heartfelt apology, the moment where we SEE Idris Elba push the button (or not… idk go watch ‘A House of Dynamite’ and tell us your take).This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson explore our obsession with resolution: where it comes from, whether it’s even possible, and why some of us need a definitive finish while others move through life more content with the grey. And how are we supposed to cope if closure never shows up??☆ Are you a creative looking for support?

Coping With Crashing Out 27.07.2026 31นาทีAfter 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.

Coping With Sleep 20.07.2026 30นาทีWe 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.

Coping With Risk 13.07.2026 35นาทีAngela 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.

Coping With Decision Fatigue 06.07.2026 41นาทีFrom 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 29.06.2026 30นาทีIn 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?

Coping With Intuition 22.06.2026 39นาทีIn 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 15.06.2026 41นาทีWe 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 08.06.2026 41นาทีWe’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 !

Coping With Pleasure 01.06.2026 41นาทีXochitl González might just smoke again. Writing in The Cut, Xochitl captures the absurdity of organising our lives around a “future self” who, these days, may never materialise. How naïve of us.Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson follow that nihilistic thread into the architecture of pleasure: when joy must be mindful, intentional, functional, and net‑positive to qualify, what exactly qualifies. Maybe the thing worth interrogating isn’t nicotine or sugar or screen time, but the way pleasure itself has been moralised into something that requires a defence.And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps: we’re deeping the Enhanced Games (international conspiracy?), and embracing the sticker star charts of your cosy productivity dreams.Episode image: Getty (sourced via The Cut)Shout out to Laher for supporting this episode of Coping !

Coping With Friendship Anxiety 25.05.2026 43นาทีWe’ve never analysed our friendships more – doorbell friends, friendship audits, rankings, and the architecture of “meaningful connections”. But in a world defined by overwork, isolation, algorithms, and convenience culture, is all this discourse actually bringing us closer… or just giving us new ways to spiral?This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson are unpacking the rise of friendship anxiety and the limits of the tools meant to soothe it, ultimately discovering that the real issue is structural: a world that engineered community out, then sold it back to us as a subscription.And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps, we’re also talking: the DIY labs closing the loop on longevity testing, and Kylie Jenner’s new hydration drink that makes you “glow from within” (sigh).

Coping With Longevity 18.05.2026 36นาทีWhat does it actually mean to “live longer” in a culture that can’t tolerate aging?This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson dive into the strange n seductive world of longevity culture, breaking down how a once‑niche scientific field has transformed into a billion‑dollar industry. We’re chatting about it all, from pilgrimages to Blue Zones, biological age testing, and cryonic chambers, and the $65 USD olive oils promising to rewind the effects of aging at a cellular level. The industry promises more years, but often at the cost of the humanity it claims to preserve.And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps, we’re also talking: pimple patches (where have they been all my life etc.) and wearable tracking devices (stay tuned for a future debate on this).Shout out to Laher for supporting this episode of Coping !

Coping With Ambition 11.05.2026 48นาทีAmbition used to mean climbing that corporate ladder. Then it meant girlbossing. Then it meant quitting your job to find yourself. Now? It’s… complicated.This week, we’re tracing the messy, contradictory legacy of female ambition. And with ambition discourse everywhere – Emma Grede interviews, Diary of a CEO soundbites, Vogue rebrands – we’re asking what "success" looks like if you’re no longer willing to sacrifice your entire life for it.Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson share their own shifting ambitions within this context: the craving for purpose, the fear of being consumed by work, and the cultural noise that tells us to both lean in and log off forever.And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps, we’re also talking: the Japanese headspa experience that (unfortunately) will change your life, and the journal worth flying to Paris for (disclaimer: cost of flights not included in purchase).
