Scenic Route, Social Change and Mental Health for Tired Perfectionists
Scenic Route is a mental health and social change podcast for perfectionists, overthinkers, and high-achievers who are tired of holding it all together.
If you’re burned out from performing, people-pleasing, and pretending everything’s fine — this is your space to finally exhale.
Hosted by sociologist and recovering perfectionist Jennifer Walter (MA Sociology, University College Cork) — navigating chronic illness whilst rebuilding life in her 40s and rethinking what resilience actually means.
We talk about:
Mental health without the toxic positivity
Real tools for anxiety, burnout, and the inner critic
Social change that starts within
Feminism, capitalism, and how your healing is political
Mindfulness for sceptics
No crystals, no BS, just what actually works
Expect solo deep-dives, expert guests, and the occasional bit of potty humour because healing doesn’t have to be so damn serious all the time.
This podcast is for you if:
You’re questioning so many things and trying to stay hopeful
You’re done with perfectionism but still want to grow
You believe inner work and activism go hand in hand
New episodes every Tuesday.
The longest way round is the shortest way home. That’s why we’re taking the Scenic Route.
Start with the latest episode — or jump into whatever speaks to you.
