intro

What this series is

What’s Your Kettle? is a series where we ask people from all walks of life to tell us their settle and kettle moment, the thing that marks the end of an effort for them and signals that the moment after has arrived. Here are a few examples of what it looks like.

Getting into bed after changing the sheets and feeling that first clean-sheet moment. You’ve been rushing to catch a train. You get on with the doors closing behind you, find your seat and exhale. You’ve been holding it together at the shops with your toddler. You get them strapped in, close the car door, and sit in the driver’s seat for a moment before setting off.

How to participate

The series has two parts. The first is the short moment submissions from readers like you. The second is a long-form interview series where we go deeper, asking about work, life, and the moments that sit at the end of both. The aim is simple: to show how different people mark the end of an effort, and to help you recognise those moments in your own life.

It’s open to anyone. If you’d like to share a settle and kettle moment, fill in the form below. If you’d like to take part in the long-form interview series, get in touch via our contact page.
