Today’s episode is with prolific journalist who often uses her internet as a diary - Melissa Mason and is all about relationship anxiety (kind of the extension and more ‘grown up’ way to talk about the ick). It’s something we have both been riddled with for years - even though i didn’t know it until very recently. Have you ever seen a couple on instagram and been like wow that’s goals why aren’t we like that? Or find yourself in a panic wondering if you’re with the person you’...
This weeks episode is what we've all needed at some time in our times - a spirit guide for going to Ikea.

This episode is a special one - it’s extremely light and there’s a lot of laughter because honestly at the moment, we feel like we need some lols to break up the heaviness of the news and the amount of hectic stuff happening in the world right now.

Ever seen an Instagram post of your ex with 'the new you'? Lol fucking sucks, huh? We've made a meditation for that. In the case of this meditation we recorded it from our own personal need of it being ‘a new girlfriend’ but i’d love to hear if anyone listening would like us to create a meditation from another perspective - new boyfriend, new partner - we want to be inclusive and will create another version if there’s the demand so please let us know.I can remember the exact moment I fou...

We talk all about feeling uninspired - all the tried and tested ways to get out of productivity slumps and the ebbs and flows of creativity.

In this episode, we spoke to Mark Conlan - an absolutely incredible illustrator based in Melbourne - all about the pressures to maintain a social presence and stay consistent with posting. With ever changing algorithms and trends, this topic is one we're sure will hit home mainly for people using their socials as their online resume (but sometimes even personal SM use can be stressful too!).---Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Rachel Cr...
This episode we spoke to Georgia Somary - bass player in Nasty Cherry and founder of No Good resin.

A second episode drop this week! We thought we'd start releasing mini episodes when the time suits to cover some hyper-specific, niche issues that we personally would love a meditation for. This week, in lockdown, it only seemed fitting to create one that calms the chaos and invites in gratitude for our homes and what we do have whilst under restrictions.Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Laura Tilley on IG - @lauraatilley / @theha...
