210: No Decision Is A Wrong Decision



None of our weeks can be as chaotic as Justin Timberlake’s but we’re definitely using “this is going to ruin the tour” as a line every time we feel inconvenienced! We’re sharing the songs on our do-not-play list for our weddings and Charlotte’s new crafting venture.

If you’ve ever had that horrible feeling when you’re making a decision “but what if I get it wrong?” – then this episode is for you. We’re chatting about how no decision is the wrong decision when it comes to making decisions about your life. It’s easy to obsess over decisions we’ve made, but the reality is that you made a decision with the information you had at the time and that’s all anyone can do.

209: You Don’t Know What You Know



We’re chatting beer festivals Helli has attended and Charlotte’s first week at her new job, along with the usual chaos of dark chocolate, knot tying expertise, Godzilla facts and Helli’s microphone dying halfway through (sorry!)

Sometimes something has become so habitual and easy that it becomes second-nature to underestimate or undervalue the skills and knowledge you have. Whether it’s planning a strategy, the ability to be organised, being a polyglot, creating content or even hobbies you do in your spare time. It takes a lot of effort to make something look effortless and it can become easy to lose sight of the value or authority you bring to the table.

We feel like we should know how to do everything and yet especially as women we feel the pressure to be humble about our achievements, but what seems normal and easy to you, is a valuable skill to someone else and you don’t realise the value you what you know.

208: Is Privacy The New Luxury?



You’ll be pleased to know that this week has been far less stressful. We’ve got our cortisol under control, spent plenty of time outside and even discovered a brand new boy band (IYKYK). We’re sharing our two latest obsessions (and of course one includes some true crime) and then we’re chatting about what we think the new biggest luxury is: privacy.

We’ve gone from being a generation of chronic over-sharers to ones that hardly post on socials at all, and it isn’t just us. The rise of “unplugged weddings”, combined birth & pregnancy announcements and even major fashion brands leveraging privacy as something to set them apart has got us thinking about whether the new ultimate form of luxury is privacy. It’s not about the fear of missing out anymore, instead if you’re not there you just miss out. Is that a good thing? Are we willing to sacrifice privacy if there’s something in it for us? Is this a new trend or is it simply returning to how things used to be?

207: Appreciating the Journey



It has been *a week* – Charlotte has spent hours sat at hospital and Helli hit a new level of peak stress and overwhelm with work, wedding planning and LIFE.

But we’re here to chat about appreciating the journey. We live in a world of instant gratification which makes it feel very uncomfortable/frustrating when you have to sit in that discomfort and wait for the results we’re aiming for. We’ve spoken in recent episodes about knowing who you’re doing it for and curating your own milestones – these are all really important parts of appreciating the journey. While we chat about success and goals a lot, this is about not becoming hyper-focused on results without enjoying the process, appreciating the opportunities that might come up along the way, or celebrating the milestones and new skills you learn as part of the process.
