With the fast pace of life, it’s easy to get wrapped up in your to-do list and get stuck in a constant state of ‘doing’. In this episode, we discuss the benefits of not always being busy, not just from the ‘rest’ and ‘self-care’ perspective, but also the idea that if you’re constantly busy, you leave no space for nurturing your thoughts and ideas, taking advantage of other opportunities and finding your creativity.

We’d love to hear from you!

It’s uncomfortable to acknowledge that we have knowledge gaps about big topics and big sections of history and culture, but as it becomes more and more apparent that we can’t rely on the narrow education curriculum we’re given when we’re younger to keep us informed, and with the everchanging world we live in, it’s important to take responsibility for educating ourselves, questioning what we see online and seeking out different voices to learn about these topics.

This week we’re sharing a few tips and steps to take to help address some of these gaps or just small changes we can make to educate ourselves about more diverse topics, cultures and histories.

We’re all guilty of seeing someone’s highlights on social media and taking it upon ourselves to assume that the rest of their life is just as perfect. Cue the FOMO kicking in. In reality though there’s often so much more to it than the snapshot we see so this week we’re talking about why it’s so important to remember that social media is a snapshot and why really what you see doesn’t matter.

In theory, things should be going back to ‘normal’, but in reality the longer term effects of the past 18 months are just coming to light and that means we’re feeling anything but ‘normal’. In this episode we’re discussing why it’s so important that we don’t diminish the long term effects of the pandemic and why we’re unlikely to notice all of the social and economic impacts for some time.
