In this episode, I wake up in the early hours of a summer morning.The kind of heat that makes it impossible to sleep.
As I move through my flat, trying to cool down with ice water and small drafts of freezer air, the outside world pushes in: far-off shouting, buzzing mosquitoes, and the soft hum of traffic that never really stops.
I talk about strange dreams, itchy arms, and what it feels like to be uncomfortable in your own body when the air won’t cool.
There’s a quiet reflection on the seasons too; which one I like best, and why summer sometimes feels like the hardest one of all.
If you’ve ever been kept awake by heat, noise, or thoughts that won’t let you rest, this episode will feel familiar.
