This fortnight we’re diving into boundaries, why they’re so important and how to set them. We’re sharing how we’ve learnt to set boundaries and when we started to notice that we needed some. We’ve also got our latest recommendations so there’s plenty of you to watch, read and listen to after you’ve finished this episode.

Stepping outside of our comfort zones is something we both try to do on a regular basis. Sometimes it’s something smaller like joining a new club, other times it’s taking a huge career change. Whatever it is, we’ve both found that it can be so rewarding when we go outside of comfort zones that it’s something we always try to encourage other people to do too. If you’re not quite sure how to start then we’ve got plenty of ideas and advice in this episode.

Can you believe we’re almost at the end of the year, and the decade? No, we can’t either! So before we take our end of year break (don’t worry, we’ll be back in January with plenty of new discussions) we thought we’d take a moment to look back on the rest of the year, discuss some of our highs and lows, and share our top recommendations from the past 12 months. We hope you enjoy the last episode of the year and also get a chance to take a break over the next few weeks, whether you celebrate Christmas or not! As ever, please do get in touch with us and share any ideas that you have for our 2020 topics!

We know we’re a little late and the sound quality isn’t great this week but we’re hoping you’ll forgive us as we work out our new recording logistics! This fortnight we’re discussing loneliness and why it’s ok if you feel lonely. This is a discussion usually reserved for older generations but we think it is just as relevant when you’re young too. We share some of the times when we’ve felt lonely and what we do to try and prevent it from happening.

Stir Fry Recipe

Throw some oil into a pan with garlic, spring onions, half a lime, ground coriander, some mild chili flakes and some soy/tamari sauce (only a little). Thinly slice the tofu into little pieces and fry until it’s super crispy then throw in the rest of your veg. Cook your rice noodles, drain and put them in with the veg. Make a sauce from a tablespoon or 2 of almond butter (you could probably use peanut or cashew here) with a generous glug of soy sauce and a little bit of water. Mix up and pour over the stir fry and serve.

It’s here, our first UK/Australia episode! This fortnight we catch up on all the crazy things that have happened in the past couple of weeks and then dive into our topic: coping with worry and uncertainty. As two self-confessed life-long worriers we have stirred ourselves up into our fair share of worried states and got worked up about the uncertainty that the future holds. In the past year or so we’ve become much better at dealing with worry and uncertainty though and we thought it was time that we shared how we’ve done this and what we do to put a halt on those worrisome thoughts.

This week we’re discussing one of our favourite topics, solo travel and busting some of the myths that surround it. Whether you’re a seasoned pro like Helli or just starting to dip your toes in like Charlotte, it can be such a fun and exciting experience that we both think everyone should give it a go at least once. We cover the danger that can sometimes be associated with solo travel, how to plan a trip that works for you and what to do if you’re worried about being lonely and ultimately why we think everyone should give it a go at least once.

In this fortnight’s episode we’re discussing body image. It’s a huge topic and we’re very aware that we come at it from 2 very specific perspectives and a place of privilege, however, it’s also something that effects everyone at some point in their life. As we’ve gone through our 20s we’ve found that our relationships with our bodies have changed a lot, with some things no longer being a cause for concern whilst also discovering new insecurities. Whilst we certainly don’t have all the answers we are hoping that there will be some reassurance that no matter what body image issues you may be facing at the moment you aren’t alone. We discuss how your relationship with your body is ever changing, how everyone’s journey with body image is so personal and how sometimes self-acceptances is a more achievable goal than self-love.
