Good vibes. Just Jodes. Hey, I’m Jodes — and this is Just Jodes, your bi-weekly reminder that nobody’s got it all figured out (but we’re thriving anyway).


After starting The Lonely Londoner in 2022, I wanted to create something that felt more me — chatty, funny, real. So this is the rebrand: same voice, new vibe.


We’ll talk about the highs and lows of being human — confidence, career chaos, friendships, and the occasional money moment (because adulthood, right?).


Expect laughter, honesty, and the kind of pep talks that feel like catching up with your best mate.

I’m sharing my own reasons for being happily child-free, from the practical to the personal to the “no, Karen, I’m genuinely fine, I promise.” We’ll talk about the pressure millennials face, the assumptions people make, and how exhausting it is to constantly defend a life choice that hurts no one.


I also get into why friends, family, and well-meaning relatives need to mind their business — especially during family gatherings where the questions come thick and fast — and how respecting someone’s choice is the bare minimum of loving them.


Whether you’re child-free by choice, child-free for now, or simply trying to understand someone who is, this episode is all about honesty, autonomy, and giving people the space to design a life that actually fits them.


It’s real, it’s a bit ranty (in a cute way), and it’s a reminder that boundaries are a gift — and not just at Christmas.

In this first episode of Just Jodes, we’re diving into the messy world of toxic friendships, draining family dynamics, and those relationships that leave you feeling like you’ve run an emotional marathon you never signed up for.


We’ll chat about the red flags we ignore (because same), why “but they’re family” isn’t a free pass for bad behaviour, and how to set boundaries that actually protect your peace — without drowning in guilt afterwards.


This one’s for the people pleasers, the over-givers, the “maybe it’s me?” thinkers, and anyone who’s realised that loving someone doesn’t mean you have to keep them in your life forever.


It’s honest, comforting, slightly unhinged (in a fun way), and the perfect way to kick off this new era of the podcast 💛

This has been quite a difficult week for me, my housemate who I moved in with 4 months ago has decided that she doesn't want to live with someone anymore. (It's her flat).


This means that by the end of November if I haven't found somewhere to move to - I will be homeless AGAIN!


BUT I've decided to be grateful for this new spanner in the works, this new Lemon to add to all the other lemons that life has given me.


In fact, I'm going to perfect the world's best lemonade and get through this like a champ!

In this episode, I talk about implementing small changes in my life, which have made a big impact.


I talk about the concept that "Anything worth doing, is worth doing poorly" (clearly something I implement when it comes to my upload schedule)


The example I'm using in this episode is about myself, my health, and my weight, If this topic is sensitive to you, then perhaps proceed with caution.


I decided to record this one at midnight when it's about a million degrees out, so just know that whilst I was recording this I had to turn my fan off (you're welcome) but I was also using a wet towel to try and stay cool - not relevant to the episode - just keeping it real.

I talk through my own experiences with different forms of education, feeling like I was wasting my time, spending a LOT of money on University, and where I am now.


Reminder: Life is a journey we all take at our own pace, and we don't need to live up to someone else's experiences!!

I felt like it was important to get some context into why I wanted to make this podcast in the first place.


In this episode, I briefly cover topics such as:


  • Not knowing what I wanted to do with my life (career-wise)
  • Going to Uni / Doing an Apprenticeship
  • Feeling left behind by my peers with regard to careers, families, etc.
  • Making a big life/carer move
  • Making a big locational move to London.



These are all topics and conversations that I want to talk about more in-depth in future episodes and I hope you enjoy!
