BRB I'm Healing

Hello angels and welcome back. This week we finally have some new recommendations for you, including 'An American Marriage' by Tayari Jones and New Girl on Netflix (warning: minor season 4 spoiler alert). Another super exciting announcement this week is Niamh's double feature in SLAMinutes' 'Mental Health Through The Pandemic', the poetry anthology that featured 100 writers and donated all proceeds to Mind Charity. If you're not following her already, check out @poetrybyniamh to read her incredible (and now published!!!) work. Charlotte's less credible but nonetheless charitable donation to the cause this week was a charity shop vintage jumper she purchased which just so happened to be from Mind. Then it's onto this week's topic of self-doubt and how it often coincides with our perception of failure as a society. Why is it that we've blurred the line between arrogance and self-confidence? Why is it that we feel the need to put ourselves down to avoid anyone getting there first? We talk about the doubts and fears we had before starting the podcast, but why putting ourselves out there and doing it anyway wins every time.

Hello lovely people. This week we're back and better than ever with a not-so-new recommendation from Charlotte who has finally discovered The Crown (only took her 4 years). We have a lil convo about the fact that we secretly wish we could've been friends with Queen Margaret and Niamh's questionable crush on Matt Smith (who Charlotte thinks has a weird face).  Then it's onto this week's topic of self-comparison in the age of social media and how impossible it can feel to avoid. We discuss what it is about these apps that push us into comparing ourselves and feeling like there's always someone out there doing more, being more, and getting more. Is it our responsibility to consciously consume and remove people from our social media that make us feel worse about ourselves? How do we know when we're comparing ourselves unfairly and what can we actually do to not base our self-worth on our perception of others? And finally, stick around to the end of the podcast to experience our first technical glitch in which we narrowly avoided this entire episode being deleted thanks to Charlotte's ancient laptop.

Hey lovely people and welcome to House Wine and Wellness, a weekly podcast by gal pals Niamh and Charlotte. In our first (and very fresh) episode, we give you a little bit of background as to what our podcast is about and where the idea came from. Then it's onto the recommendation segment of the episode in which we hear, in detail, about Niamh's ongoing and slightly concerning obsession with The Crown and what she would do if she happened to be in Love Island with Prince Phillip. Then it's onto all things lockdown 2.0 and we go on a long ramble about how we're finding it and how we're keeping ourselves sane during these dark, cold months. And finally, Niamh enlightens us on how she used the law of attraction to become rich (aka get two refunds back on the same day of the meditation). It can be found on Youtube for the benefit of all of our upsetting bank accounts.
