Helli has moved house (and apologies for her echoey muffled audio, studio space has not been figured out yet!) and Charlotte is back from Stockholm and the joys of the ABBA museum. This week we’re chatting about all the things we feel like we’re getting wrong, we’re told to eat local but also get eat diverse. Avoid Amazon but don’t overshop if you shop secondhard, reduce screentime but also stay informed.

We’re constantly told what to do, what’s right, what’s wrong, what you should do more of or less of. While we do constantly strive to do better by ourselves, by others and by the planet, the hard truth is that it’s impossible to get everything right on the overwhelming list of “perfect choices”, so how do we come to terms with what we can do?
