Amusing Podcast

What's next for Amusing? Well, it is back with Season 2! Join Issy and Mel for more book reviews, dating catch-ups, dilemma diaries and sprinkles of wisdom. This is the show for wholesome heart to hearts, philosophical ramblings and a healthy amount of introspection. These girls are your best friends, big sisters and agony aunts all rolled into one, here to muse and be amused by life!

Today we're giving you our thoughts on the saying 'life is like...' Is it like a box of chocolates, or a train whizzing past, or a bicycle ready to tip over? Perception is a funny thing. It is highly influenced by our personality types, experiences, emotions and perhaps even attachment styles among other things. Why can we perceive things to be so vastly different from others?

We are big promoters of reflection and self-awareness but it's time to address the elephant in the room! We have begun to wonder if being too introspective could be just plain exhausting? I mean, imagine if we decided to switch off our desire to better ourselves and muted our self-critical internal monologue. Instead of finding ways to be more productive, fitter or smarter, maybe we could just take a backseat for a while and enjoy our lives. Would we be more carefree? Less stressed? Having more fun? How do we find the balance between helping ourselves improve and just forgetting about it all for a while?

Regrets... we've all got them. But, what is regret? What do we often regret in our 20's? And why might we experience that all too familiar feeling of missing out or wasting time? Life is a juggling act at the best of times as we wonder whether we should travel now or wait until we've started a professional career? Should we seek a romantic relationship, or spend our 20's single? Perhaps there are no correct answers. So how do we navigate these risks and find the courage to take a leap?
