Psychology In Real Life
Psychology IRL is where psychology meets real life—no jargon, no fluff, just practical insights you can actually use. Hosted by Jemma, a coach and researcher with an MSc in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, this podcast takes psychology out of the textbooks and into everyday situations. If you’re curious about how to build better habits, improve your mindset, or just understand yourself (and others) a little better, you’re in the right place. Each episode breaks down research-backed psychology into simple, actionable strategies to help you thrive—whether at work, in relationships, or in your personal growth journey.

With the ability to have an AI assistant, a robot cleaner and automate all business processes, are we becoming happier with our free time... or are we actually feeling busier and more spread thin than ever?
In this episode I talk about the anxiety that comes with the fear of wasting time or not having enough hours in the day and why viewing time may well be backwards if we want to live happy and fulfilling lives.
I'm seeing a pattern of online creators, influencers and entrepreneurs burning out at record speed and honestly, I'm not surprised!
There is so much happening behind the scenes in these social-media heavy industries that can contribute to burnout when we compare it to more 'traditional' jobs and so in this episode I'm going to cover some of the main things that I think are contributing to this mass burnout.
As a self-identified recovering good girl, I came out the other side of burnout convinced that my people pleasing 'yes' mentality had massively contributed to why I was so exhausted, drained, and ultimately walked away from my previous business altogether.
Now, as a burnout researcher, I am clearer on exactly what led me to burnout and for my fellow good girls, you definitely need to listen to this one!
Setting goals is something I always talk about the importance of but what do you do when you achieve your goals and don't feel any different? I've seen so many people recently talk about having ticked off their big goals only to feel no more fulfilled.
In this episode I dive into the psychology behind why this might be happening and what we can do to ensure we are setting the 'right' goals.
A lot of people talk about using sales psychology, particularly pain point marketing, but there is a whole lot of info missing from the advice that's often shared.
In this episode I pick apart exactly what sales psychology says, whether it is or isn't unethical to speak to pain points, and what my advice is going forward to improve ethics in psychology driven marketing.
If you're a lover of cold hard facts and a good article reference then you might also be wondering whether talk of 'manifestation' is too fluffy of a concept for you to embrace.
In fact, one of the first search results on Google for manifestation puts it bluntly: it isn't backed up by science.
But is that really the case?
In this episode I break down the concept of manifestation, exploring whether there is in fact psychology, scien...
