Description

Second Helpings isn’t just for people who avoid carbs and drink charcoal. But if you miss the taste of midnight pizza and want to start living your best life, welcome — you’re in the right place. Shortlisted for the Independent Podcast Awards 2025, Second Helpings is an honest, darkly funny conversation about eating disorder recovery, mental health, and the pop culture that shapes how we see ourselves. From Normal People to Taylor Swift, #girldinner to the latest wellness trends, your hosts unpack the culture and stories we love — and the stories we tell ourselves. One host is a clinical psychologist. The other is a writer who once skipped dessert because she thought it was a waste of calories. Together, they get real about recovery, body image, addiction, modern dating, and why “manifestation” still isn’t a substitute for therapy (sorry, TikTok). Expect unscripted conversations, sharp humour, and two hosts who bring fresh perspectives on life in your late twenties. New episodes of Second Helpings drop bi-weekly.
