“You can’t grow if you’re busy giving a f*ck about everything and everyone.”

Let’s be honest… caring too much is draining. In this unfiltered, feel-good episode, Grace and Boston are diving into the art of letting go — of people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, and saying yes when you want to scream NO.

Inspired by Mel Robbins’ “Let Them” theory, this ep is packed with real talk, personal stories, and practical mindset shifts to help you stop obsessing over what others think and start protecting your energy like the badass 20-something you are.

👇 Here’s what you’ll take away:

– How to stop being a “fixer” or “emotional sponge” 🧽 (even if you were raised that way)

– Why people not liking you might be the best thing ever

– The problem with self-development becoming a to-do list

– Why boundaries are your new best friend (and how to actually set them)

– Signs you’re in a “shame spiral” and how to get out

– The one rule Grace and Boston live by when things feel overwhelming 💭

🕒 Time Stamps:

00:00 – Intro & messy life updates (sunshine, tech bros & marathon fatigue)

06:45 – The “Let Them” theory that changed everything

12:40 – Why self-help can accidentally become toxic

Remember: Let them think what they want. You’ve got better sh*t to do.

You’ve heard it all before: “Carbs are bad,” “Cut bread to cut fat,” “Try carnivore!” But are we just recycling the same old BS with new branding?

In this episode of Start Here To Be Better For It, Grace and Boston peel back the layers on the latest diet trends (yep, we’re looking at you, Carnivore Diet 🥩) and ask the real question: Why are we so scared of carbs?

With a blend of science, lived experience, and a cheeky dose of humour, they break down the cyclical nature of nutrition trends, the psychological impact of restrictive eating, and the truth about low-carb dieting for body composition.

PLUS: The duo shares their recent Moroccan getaway—why stepping out of Manchester and into the sun literally changed everything. This isn’t just a health chat, it’s a full mind-body reset.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

- The importance of rest and sunshine: how Morocco became the reset they didn’t know they needed (6:00)

- Why you should actually book that trip you’ve been putting off (10:00)

- The real science behind low-carb diets and body composition (20:45)

- How fad diets get repackaged—and why we keep falling for them (25:30)

- Why carbs aren’t your enemy (spoiler: they’re your energy source) (29:20)
