Are endless options actually making life harder—or just more confusing?

In this episode of Life Happens*, Michelle and Nick explore what it means to live in a world full of choices—especially in dating and careers.

Do dating apps expand our possibilities, or quietly make commitment harder? And what happened to the kind of chance encounters that turn into lifelong love stories?

Michelle reflects on her dating future, while Nick shares lessons (and a few entertaining stories) from his past—including his unforgettable swimming pool story.

They also dive into the pressure of today’s job market, where “a job for life” no longer exists. When everything is possible, how do you choose anything at all?

Plus: Nick puts Michelle to the test with a “dating material” quiz—and you can play along too:

Would you rather have one guaranteed good option or five uncertain great ones?

In this episode of Life Happens* (*but you can too!), hosts Michelle R Williams and Nick Hirst explore the psychology of choice and decision-making.

From choosing schools and careers to navigating everyday life decisions, they discuss whether modern life offers too many choices — and whether that freedom actually makes us happier or more anxious. They also compare today’s decision-making pressures with earlier generations, when life options were often far more limited.

Plus, you can test your own decision-making style with a quick quiz and see where you fall on the spectrum of cautious vs spontaneous decision-makers.

🎧 Listen now to explore whether more choice really leads to a better life — or simply harder decisions.

You know your chronological age — just count the candles on your last birthday cake. But is that how old you actually feel?

In this episode of Life Happens*, hosts Michelle R Williams and Nick Hirst explore the fascinating psychology of subjective age — the age we perceive ourselves to be.

Originally, the concept of mental age was used to measure intellectual development. But researchers are increasingly interested in subjective age and how it connects to physical health, mindset, social engagement, and even longevity.

Michelle and Nick — representing two different generations — compare their own subjective age test results, and the answers might surprise you.

🎧 Listen now as they discuss ageing, identity, and how society shapes the way we think about getting older.

Before you light the candles on your next birthday cake… you might want to find out how old you really feel.
