The Coop
It started off as a conversation in drama class, then it became a way to chit-chat with friends, new and old. Now, The Coop has become Helena's outlet. From talking about her experiences of dealing with anorexia to exploring topics that keep her up at night, The Coop really tracks it all. As time's gone on, this podcast has really just become centred around navigating life and so, it's fair to say that in simple terms, it's become a monologue about what it's like to be a teenager growing up in the world. New episodes drop every other Saturday.

time for a change?
maybe the end of 'The Coop'.
(I never planned on ending 'The Coop', but there's been a lot of change over April and with that I felt that the podcast should change with it. I'll be back soon, just n…
mulling
conclusions from my first rave.
(some sweet, silly nights where I've found myself mulling.)
the recovery
part two.
(everything from diagnosis-present. a lot to unpack, ft. the dream that changed it all.)
the anorexia
hmmmm.
(in order to give you an update on how I've been post-relapse of anorexia, you needed to have the context. so here's what that is.)
an exploration of silence
...
(it's been a recent revelation of mine how important silence is. if you respect silence, you build trust. if you build trust, you have the foundations of a good relationship. like I said....I've…
in the mud
completely and utterly.
(so things haven't been great recently. things might have taken a turn for the worse. and I guess this is me just sharing it with you.)
an exploration of (my) parasocial relationships
two words, one woman: billie eilish
(a look into the driving factors of my parasocial relationship- a look into how celebrities can become a lifeline. I'm glad to say that the obsession has died dow…
an exploration of fears
dark.
(I find death completely and utterly terrifying and so, this episode gets a little dark. I'm well aware I need to go back to therapy, thank you x)
an exploration of rejection
I like this episode.
(wicked game by chris isaak is the ONLY song I've been listening to recently. it fits very well with this episode where I unpack my experiences with both 'practical' and 'emotio…
2023 RECAP
reflecting and reminiscing.
(a look back on the most pivotal year of my life so far. lessons were learnt and discoveries were made, I encourage you all to have a cheeky scroll through your mems!)
relapse
honest.
(a couple of weeks that had me facing some truths- perhaps I wasn't doing as well as I thought. perhaps, I was relapsing slightly in terms of anorexia and depression.)
a cute week where I thought I was having a psychotic episode xox
deadly serious.
(life update part.3- adulthood took a turn. grab a blanket, get some hot chocolate and settle down for a week of disastrous events.)
never be the person to weep, whine and weaponise.
-life lessons with ros.
(Ros created this saying as some sort of juxtaposition to 'live, laugh, love' and although it never gets mentioned in this episode, I think it sums up what we discuss rather …
it's just not a gap year is it?
it's life.
(a painful realisation that this isn't just 'one year out', it's the rest of my life. my actual life update for you all.)
an exploration of closure
This idea for a podcast episode first came into fruition when I went to watch my old dance school's show in July, an evening which for the past three years I'd expected to bring me closure but in act…
this got a little too depressing, a little too quickly
Today I'm talking all about my first month of my gap year, a year which has most definitely not gone to plan so far. I discuss what it's been like seeing everyone leave for uni and share where my hea…
If Our Lives Were Albums: DREAM GIRL
Today I'm joined by Ella to dive into her 'album' based on the past two years of her life: DREAM GIRL. She talks about her growth over the past two years and how that's prepared her for the next chap…
Cleveland's Mark
Guys, it's time to meet Tyler!! Tyler has become one of my closest friends this year and he's impacted my life in ways I hadn't even realised I needed. I'm very glad he wanted to be on the podcast, a…
