Our pets lounge around all day and get away scot-free, so why can’t we?

We can sometimes feel pretty bad about ourselves when we are unproductive but why? Why do we place so much of our worth on our efficiency? Is laziness a good descriptor of our behaviour and why are we actually ‘lazy’? What could laziness potentially indicate and how can knowing this help us understand ourselves better?

In this episode we remind you why your couch potato days are warranted and discuss the nuance around the word 'lazy'.

Ever wondered what a sex show in Amsterdam is like? Or how it feels to wander through the streets of New York on your own? What's it like to eat dinner by yourself? What about the experience of solo travel and Topdeck or Contiki tours? Why are there teddy bears perched across houses in Albania?

Today we welcome Mel back from her big solo trip around the globe. Earlier this year she quit her job to travel and it wasn't long after that she found herself strolling through the streets of Manhattan alone and devouring pasta in Rome with new friends. She has been jet-setting all around Europe too and has many fun stories to tell from her adventures as she walks us through her time travelling solo in the Big Apple, tells us what it felt like being an Aussie in London and shares her insights into the true Topdeck tour experience.

Strap in, there is lots to tell!

Did Issy's friend throw her under the bus with a hinge profile revamp? What happened to Mel's dog on an evening stroll?

Have you ever flicked through your journal and thought ‘wOoow’ what a crazy time that was, glad I am not there anymore’ haha? We have too, and not only do we have a chuckle, but stopping to reflect allows us to see how greatly journalling has impacted us over the years. 

We both began journalling about 2 years ago and since then, have noticed a shift towards more positive feelings within ourselves. So today we are taking a look back on our personal journalling styles and progress over the last couple of years. What do we find most satisfying from journalling? What benefits have we reaped from writing? And what tips and tricks have we picked up along the way? 

It can be hard to know where to start when you first out pen to paper so we hope this episode may be a source of inspiration for someone to consider giving journalling a go, or a bit of encouragement others need to write more! 

You’ve heard it all before. Everyone talks about how they spend so much time on their phone and being Gen Z ourselves we can totally relate.

What compels us to pick up our phones? Is it procrastination, boredom, social awkwardness, or habit? What kind of manipulation tactics are social media companies using to keep us engaged and glued to our devices? How is it that social media is free?

Of course it would be useless to speak about reducing screen time if we didn’t provide practical strategies, so we hope to provide some insight on shifting habits, including from well-known author James Clear of Atomic Habits, that can help us gain control over our social media usage.

Join us today as we investigate the impulses that drive us to stay on our phones and uncover solid strategies that can be used to help us reduce the dreaded screen time.

Social Dilemma directed by Jeff Orlowski

Life in our 20's is newly bustling with responsibilities. New jobs, relationships, travel, personal commitments and a whole lot more. Throughout this time of transition and experimentation we can sometimes feel overwhelmed or confused regarding what is the 'right' thing to do. When it comes to effecting a change in our lives or taking a ‘risk’ on something or someone, we may even find ourselves in decision paralysis.

Today we challenge the notion of a 'right' time. Do we have to wait for a sign, or feel as though we have everything laid out perfectly before we can make a decision and act upon it? How can we find what is the right time for each of us to break up with someone, to leave a job, to buy a house, to travel overseas or to start the business venture that we have dreamed of? Should we instead reframe our thoughts around decision making in order to do and achieve what we want?

Join us for a conversation around decision making and taking risks in our 20’s.

We are back for another good old chin wag so you won't want to miss today's episode! You probably also want to tune in if you're a fan of riddles (really cool or really, really, really lame ones). Let's take a quick trip down memory lane to reminisce the Y2K period of social media; chronological Instagram, Kik and even Qoohme - remember any of these? Oh yeah, and the title of this episode definitely isn’t clickbait ;) Mel really did speak to Selena Gomez, so listen in to find out how that went down. Being haters at heart, we sometimes love a good vent too, so today we have collected a couple of pet peeves that we just had to get off our chest. Don't miss out - come have a laff with us!

Many of us will have had a number of friendships throughout our lives. These may be friends from our childhood, friends from primary or high school, friends we meet at work or uni, friends we make through travel or friends we live with. With time, changes in our lifestyle and expanding experiences it may be that we drift away from some people and become closer to others.

In this episode, we reflect upon our own relationship and chat about the natural evolution of our various friendships as we transition from adolescence to our mid 20’s. Why do we gravitate to some friends more than others? Does time and proximity influence our relationships? What does a meaningful friendship feel like? And lastly, what’s the secret to lasting and fruitful friendships?
