All The Things We’re Doing Wrong



Helli has moved house (and apologies for her echoey muffled audio, studio space has not been figured out yet!) and Charlotte is back from Stockholm and the joys of the ABBA museum. This week we’re chatting about all the things we feel like we’re getting wrong, we’re told to eat local but also get eat diverse. Avoid Amazon but don’t overshop if you shop secondhard, reduce screentime but also stay informed.

We’re constantly told what to do, what’s right, what’s wrong, what you should do more of or less of. While we do constantly strive to do better by ourselves, by others and by the planet, the hard truth is that it’s impossible to get everything right on the overwhelming list of “perfect choices”, so how do we come to terms with what we can do?

Ageing is a privilege



Most of us complain about getting older but between the two of us, we so often talk about how ageing is the ultimate privilege. That’s not to say ageing is easy and it certainly comes with its challenges, but ageing is a privilege that not everyone gets to experience and we live in a society, particularly as women, where we’re sold anti-wrinkle creams, wellness is commercialised and we praise people who look younger than their years. So why are we all striving for longevity, but we’re all still running away from what ageing actually looks like?

A little more success please, if it isn’t too greedy?



Oh we’re getting deep into it this week discussing success, is there such a thing as *too much* success and is it greedy to ask for more when you already have so much? We live in an always-on society where striving for more seems to be the default. Where we always want to seek more the next big thing, but in doing so, are we being a bit greedy? Should we just be happy with what we have?
