Being burnout or feeling overworked and exhausted is never a good thing, but somewhere along the way society started to glamourise it. The concept of being constantly busy and not having enough time for yourself was a good thing, but after the hard reset of the past year many of us have realised that just isn’t the case. In this episode we’re discussing why it’s so problematic to glamourise burnout, how you can make small changes to prevent it and why finding balance should be the real goal.

Ever been faced with a decision but felt utterly overwhelmed and unsure of which route to go down? It’s horrible, confusing and exhausting, and typical of choice paralysis. It could be something as simple as what to have for breakfast or it could be a much bigger decisions like accepting a job offer, but as we’re all faced with more decisions and are increasingly tired this paradox of choice (or analysis paralysis) becomes much more frequent. This week we’re breaking down what choice paralysis is and simple tips to overcome it.

Saying no can be such a great way of setting boundaries and taking back control of a situation, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Whether it’s at work, in your social life or with you family, say no when you don’t want to or can’t do something can feel awkward and even intimidating. It’s a powerful statement though and like so many things, the more we do it in a thoughtful and constructive way the easier it becomes. Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered.

The recent Filter Drop campaign and the changes made by the ASA to ban the use of filters when advertising beauty products has caused a shake up of the industry and sparked many conversations. While this is definitely a step in the right direction there’s still a long way to go. In this episode we’re discussing the effect of filters and overly edited images, how they change our mindset and normalise certain behaviours and ask whether we’re all victims of our own circumstance. We also talk about the new rules bought in by the ASA and ask whether rules that only effect the UK can have a big enough impact.

Making mistakes is part of life, we all do it, none of us are perfect. It’s not so much how you got yourself into a situation though but how you get yourself out and what you learn along the way. From the screw ups at work that have you hyperventilating in the toilets (we’ve all been there, it’s never as bad as it seems) to those that leave you in fits of laughter when you look back on them, in this episode we’re discussing making mistakes and how to learn from them.

In this episode we’re discussing how so often women are mistreated and misrepresented in the media. This isn’t a new phenomenon but the recent conversations surrounding Meghan Markle and Britney have bought it back in the spotlight and we felt it was too important to ignore. We also speak honestly about how we’ve been complicit in this narrative and how we can all start to make take responsibility and make a change.

Trigger/content warning: In this episode we discuss mental health, the impacts of bullying & harassment and suicide throughout.
