Hellooo everyone, Today we are Muddling Through the contraceptive pill. In this episode we discuss the experiences we, and some of our friends have had with the pill and the changes it has made to the way we feel mentally, physically and emotionally. We also discuss the results of the poll that many you kindly voted in. The contraceptive pill can be an amazing thing for many women, and we are so grateful for it, but it can also cause issues for women too and we feel like these should be highlighted and discussed through people's stories so that women can understand some of the trade offs the may be making and have the knowledge to make educated decisions about their health. Please remember, if you are feeling like you are having adverse side effects, there are always other options to explore and consider! - C & A xxx music by the wonderful: @gusharrower

Of course, we also discussed the food and asked Jun about where he takes inspiration from when developing the menu, who taught him how to cook and what his death row meal would be!

Heyyyyy friends, welcome back! In this episode we revisit our old friend imposter syndrome but look at it through a fresh set of specs. We discuss how social constructs allow many people to believe they have imposter syndrome when they don't necessarily, the negative impacts of hustle culture and the realisation that even those you think most likely to avoid mistakes, likely make them every day! We also discuss the importance of backing yourself and taking that leap of faith... it could lead to great things. Before we chat about any of that however, please do enjoy a solid 20 minute catchup on our lives and a good old ramble - it's what we do best. Love C & A xxx
In today's episode we are lucky to be joined by the lovely Isla to chat about how she finds life being (mostly) social media free. We discuss the pros and cons of life without social media, and Isla gives actionable tips on how to reduce social media time. We also get to hear how living without Instagram has helped Isla to stop seeking validation for her looks from Instagram likes, or from fitting the “instagram aesthetic”. She also explains how ditching the socials allows you to reclaim control not only over your time, but all aspects of your life, including your thoughts and interests. We found this episode super interesting and eye opening - we hope you do too!! - C & A xxx

Hellloooo everyone and Happy Sunday!! In this week's episode we talk about the things you can do to reclaim yo life! We discuss the concept of time, how we use it, and how we should view it. Each person has an average of 4000 weeks on this planet, but we discuss how this does not mean that you should be feeling stressed to use everyday "productively", but rather doing the things that bring you joy - which we have found it a harder concept to get our head around than you would think! We also discuss the importance of confidence, and whilst it is not necessarily something that we all have bags of, we can do things every day to help build and maintain our confidence levels. We hope you enjoy this episode! - C & A xxx
