This week is a masterclass in handling discomfort. Growning up can be hard and uncomfortable and just coming out of lockdown after COVID-19 we are painfully aware of how uncomfortable life can get sometimes. 

This week Lucie interviews Betsy Reed a speaker, author and leader on social and environmental issues. Betsy is also a Yoga and Mindfulness teacher and as they discuss in this episode somewhat of a 'professional discomforter'. 

The conversation covers personal discomfort, societal discomfort and how to keep growing and stay kind to yourself as you go through changes that life brings. 

Part one of this two part series is an introduction to where discomfort creeps in from lack of control to lack of knowing and how growing pains are a very real thing. They discuss the idea of finding your edge and what to do when you get there. 

This is professional grown upping, so pull up a seat in the blanket fort and let's get uncomfortable together! 

This week Lucie shares a kick start to a new movement - Rebelliously responsibility. How do we stand up for the things we believe in? How do we get started with making change in the areas of our life and the larger world that we want to change. Join the Almost Grown...Up summer reading challenge to start to get to grips with the things that you care about and how you can make positive change.  Find out more on Instagram @lucie.lincoln. 

Half pep talk, half call to action, this weeks episode delves into why it's time we all decided to grow up and do something about the world we see. Tough truths, lots of love and a little bit of discomfort. Just another week in the blanket fort. 

This week Lucie goes rogue and shares a pep talk on how to make things happen. This about getting that project off the ground, doing the creative thing, and making it happen. Going in search of the grown 'uping' that is hidden in creative work. Tired of not doing the thing, or starting the thing and then going for a nap or eating a cookie, this is the antidote! 

What do you do when you live in existential crisis? Well, quite simply you take strangers out for coffee and ask them what they think the meaning of life is. This week Lucie is back with another coffee on the meaning of life. Chatting to Nia, a London based Musician, they delve into the power of creativity to provide purpose, how it builds connection, mastery and the role it plays in life.
