189: 5 Habits That Have Had the Biggest Impact on Our Lives



WE BOTH HAVE BIG UPDATES!

Here’s the episode we never expected to be recording at the end of 2023 but we’ve both got big life updates and we’re also approaching the end of this year slightly differently. Usually we talk about goal setting, but this year we’re sharing the habits that have had the biggest impact on our lives so far. Incremental changes and strong foundations are something we always talk about when it comes to habits.

So if you’re not sure how to approach big goals for the New Year, maybe think about smaller shifts and habits you can start to implement that have a bigger impact over time.

We’ll be taking a short break over Christmas and the New Year but we’ll be back in January with more episodes.

p.s. apologies for the patchy sound quality on Helena’s end, the wifi in the Philippines is patchy!

188: It’s Not Only You: Easy Ways To Cope With Overwhelm



Snow roads, aprés skiing, “intimate” flora and how we’re coping with that classic end-of-the-year-overwhelm…it’s safe to say there aren’t many things we *don’t* discuss in this week’s episode. It’s that point in the year where we’re all starting to feel *it*. The tiredness is kicking in, we’re reflecting on what we have (or maybe haven’t) achieved and we’re looking ahead to a brand new year. Even though it’s such an exciting time of year it’s also the easiest time to have the overwhelm creep in, but when that tiny little thing pushes you over the edge (catching your jumper on a door knob as you walk past, anyone?) you can take comfort in knowing you really aren’t alone. We’re sharing why it happens, how to pick yourself up and ways we’re trying to prevent it for next year.

187: The Joy of Diverse Friendships



This week we discuss the word of the year (don’t worry, we hadn’t heard of it either!), Christmas in Japan and the joy of embracing diverse friendships. We’ve noticed in the past few years we’ve built more friendships with people who have had different careers, upbringings, and experience to us, who might be in a different life stage to us even though we’re similar ages or who have similar priorities despite being a different age.
