Where there’s humans, there’s comfort zones and they have stopped us from trying new things. New is different and different is scary, right? But sometimes you need to make that leap of faith! Try that new sport or dye your hair, or learn a new skill. Isla has recently stepped out of her comfort zone this summer and chats about the strengths of doing so, and things she wish she did do to challenge herself more in the past.
What happens when you have nothing to do for the first week of summer? Apparently, you watch lots of TV shows, read a book or two and scroll endlessly on Instagram. Isla tells you about her weird social media experience this week due to her major FOMO (“fear of missing out”) and shares her thoughts on how her first year of college has gone, reflecting on the last academic year before her return in September.
Isla's been away having a digital detox from the internet, but she is back with loads to talk about, as usual! In this episode, there are updates on where Isla has been and what she's been doing whilst having a break from the podcast, weighing up the pros and cons of social media, and why it can be good to put your phone down. There is also a surprise segment of the classic game "Would You Rather" replacing the questions part of the episode this week!
Has there ever just been that one thing that freaks you out - not threatening at first glance, but just keeps you up at night and makes you uncomfortable? From blood tests and going through airport security to phoning people to book appointments Isla chats about what scares her. And what is up with people leaving toast crumbs in butter?
Isla shares in this week’s episode her latest epiphany: she’s feeling burnt out and more socially awkward than ever. So she puts her newfound knowledge to good use, and rants about it, along with telling some of her socially cringe-worthy hiccups she's had of late.
We’ve all experienced the dreaded feeling of failure. Isla certainly has, which is why she’s here to tell you all about topics of her life where she has felt failure and how she turns what can be seen as a negative into a positive.
Fashion. It has many different elements, and Isla has had her fair share of experience with a lot of different fashion phases and looks during her teens, and throughout school. From following the crowd to being braver with her clothing choices, Isla shares her thoughts on what fashion means to her along with how her style has evolved over the years.
Isla was prone to being the subject of some hilarious, scary situations during her childhood, which landed her in all sorts of crazy scenarios varying from caving disasters on camp, getting lost on the Quantock Hills and embarrassingly confessing her feelings to a primary school crush. She also reads out some of your funny childhood stories!
Isla loves giving advice, and people have told her she’s pretty good at it too. So, she’s dedicating entire episodes to just that on Unscripted between other topics! For the first session, Isla talks about topics like long distance relationships, sibling rivalry and maintaining healthy parental relationships.
Isla delves into all things skin related this week, including her battle with acne during her teens, her experience of a strong skincare medication accutane, and the toll having acne took on her mentally and in terms of her confidence. There’s also talk of what skincare products Isla uses post-accutane, and what helps to heal face acne scars.
With Valentines Day just around the corner, it's that time of year again when love is in the air. But do you know what, who needs it? Isla certainly doesn't, which is why she is extremely happy to inform you of her current relationship status: completely and utterly single!
Friendships. They’re something that EVERYBODY needs. Care, respect, trust and support is without a doubt imperative, but it’s not always as black and white as that. Isla’s friendships haven’t all been smooth sailing, and she talks about how being bullied led her to finding a comfortable group of people during her school years, and the fact that its helped her grow when branching out into new friendships. There’s also a discussion on how to spot a toxic friend, preventing awkwardness between a friendship that has faded and how to build bridges when meeting new people!
It’s safe to say that our year hasn’t got off to an excellent start, what with the UK being in a current lockdown, not to mention the emotional and physical strain that is on the world right now. No wonder we’ve all got burnout and we’re in motivational ruts! Don’t worry, Isla’s feeling it too, and she explains what she does to help tackle her down days when she feels no motivation or uninspired to get things done from home.
The first episode of Unscripted is officially here! Isla discusses her hopes and dreams she’s had for her future job growing up, and the pressures she's felt around choosing a certain pathway to follow, and the effects that aspiring to go into a career from a young age and persevering with it has had on her. She also talks about college and university courses and how potential careers influence our choices on what we pick to carry on learning about after leaving secondary school, because damn, there's loads to choose from.
