147: Your Future Self



As we come to the end of the year and our last episode of 2022, we wanted to chat about your future self, thinking about what you want your future self to be and taking actions that your future self will thank you for. It’s easy to get caught up in goal setting and having big goals and aspirations for the new year, but when it comes to the kind of person we want to be, often it’s the smaller steps you can take that all stack up into positive habits or positive life changes that future you will thank you for.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and we’ll be back in 2023!

146: Compassionate To Do Lists



We love getting organised, tackling our goals and ticking off our to do lists, but with the end of the year fast approaching it can quickly start to feel overwhelming. That’s where compassionate to do lists come into play. Instead of focusing on how much you can tick off it’s about taking time to re-evaluate and really think what you want to achieve before the end of the year, thinking holistically about your wellbeing. It’s the perfect way to get 2023 off to the best start, whatever that means to you.
