LIFE HAPPENS*
What happens when two generations sit down and talk about the things that make us human?
Life Happens* is a conversation between Michelle R Williams and Nick Hirst about the everyday experiences, choices and challenges that shape our lives. Different generations, different perspective and the occasional disagreement along the way.
(* but you can too!)
From identity and relationships to work, emotions, friendship and the strange things we all do without quite knowing why, each episode looks at ordinary life through a psychological lens – with a mixture of curiosity, humour and honest conversation.
Psychology student and writer, Michelle R Williams and media veteran, Nick Hirst use their inter-generational powers to solve those psychological mysteries of everyday life.
What We Talk About
Every episode starts with a simple question – often one you’ve never thought to ask. Michelle and Nick explore the psychology behind everyday behaviour, challenge assumptions and occasionally discover that neither quite knows what they’re talking about!
