We can look at people online, compare their highlight reel to our reality and think that they have it all leading to our unhappiness. Does our value really correlate to the amount of money in our bank account, our grades, our likes, our outfit, our number of followers and how many friends we have? No - it runs much deeper than that.

We all have things in our lives we are unhappy about, things we don't want to tell the world and yell from the rooftops; life is never perfect. Here we learn to celebrate everything that makes us, the good, the bad and the ugly, embracing and shouting about how we are not perfect and how that is okay

Sometimes the healthy thing is to rest, we talk on what "rest" actually means, how difficult we find it to actually allow ourselves to switch off and also talks on body struggles, pressure to go to the gym and going to the gym of our own accord. Toxic productivity is real, burnout it real and we are here to shed a light on the realities of life and how tiring it can be constantly running on the hamster wheel of life.

Sneaky peak intro our episode LIVE 16th February 2022.

What are you aiming for next? New job, new car, new house, new watch, new handbag etc. We define our value based on our achievements and ability to meet certain "milestones" but, is that really how we want to evaluate our life? We look into how if we turn away from these superficial achievements we are left with a better, happier and healthier life where we can appreciate all our wins, no matter how big or small and, not let them be defined by society.

Likes - how our life revolves around them and how to stop attaching your value to them.

Comparison and social media are becoming the bane of our lives; why do we care so much about likes, how we look on social media and showing others how "perfect" and "happy" our lives are.

What is success? Is it something we feel? Is it something we have? Is it something we are?  We talk about feeling lost, directionless, hopeless and how the best thing to do is be guided by peace. Success isn't a new car, a new home, a job promotion or being able to buy that expensive bottle of champagne, success is going to bed at night with a smile on your face, a look of contentment for the life you currently have and gratitude for everything and everyone in your life that makes it so amazing.

Continuing with the conversation that having a select few friends is okay, you don't need to be in a group to be socially acceptable. it is perfectly fine to have just a few close friends - detailing what I am doing for my 21st *cough* 22nd birthday and how I am totally okay with moving on from having big parties, how exhausting and stressful hosting parties can be and how "the more the merrier" is not always the case.

Losing, growing apart and having a very small circle of friends. Losing your tribe is a grievous process, moving away and growing apart from people is tough, waking up and realising you don't have loads of friends to socialise with is quite sad. We talk about the reassuring fact that is - we're not alone in feeling lonely, this is the work of the pandemic and we will find our tribe and be happy - this feeling is temporary.
