Welcome back to Episode Nine of #blessedAF. *Singing* It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ... WHAT? HOW? Anyone else feeling slightly confused, excited, and somewhat concerned that we are at that time of year already?! In this episode, we talk about our own traditions when it comes to Christmas, the gifts we appreciate, any changes to our Christmas plans due to COVID and just a general life update.   

This is our last episode for the year before we go on our own Christmas/Summer break! We want to wish you all a wonderful holiday and you will hear from us again in the new year!

Welcome back to Episode Eight of #blessedAF. It's that time of year again, where we often start to feel the anxieties of being overwhelmed with too much work, and the stressful business of wrapping everything up before the end of the year. On top of that, we've also endured another incredibly hard year with COVID which has only added an extra layer of stress and potential burnout (lockdown fatigue, anyone?!). In this episode we talk about our experiences with stress, anxiety and burnout and the strategies and coping mechanisms we try to implement to reduce the impact it has on our lives. We hope you find this episode useful and know that you are not alone in feeling overwhelmed or the effects of burnout at this time of year (or in general).

Welcome back to Episode Four of #blessedAF! In this episode we have the one and only Jessica Knight on the podcast to discuss what it is like living with Crohn’s Disease. Jess really opened-up about her experiences and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for being so real and raw with us. It is not an easy thing to do. In this episode we, personally, learnt A LOT about Crohn’s Disease in general and the impacts Crohn’s can have on an individual’s life. We hope you find it just as informative and interesting as we did.

We love you Jess! You can follow Jess on Instagram @jessieemily_

Welcome back to Episode Three of #blessedAF! In this episode we dive straight into the complex and controversial topic of body image and beauty standards. We focus heavily on our own personal experiences with body image and beauty standard pressures and expectations. This is a huge topic to cover in just one episode, so we have decided to record a few conversations on this topic in later episodes. If you would like to be a part of another episode on this topic, feel free to contact us at [email protected] or follow us below.

Remember you are beautiful just the way you are!
