Mornings aren't naturally everyone's strong point but we believe with some effort a mindful morning can serve us all. Join us as we discuss mornings, their challenges and strengths as we learn to make the most out of your mornings. We definitely have different strengths when it comes to waking up, so we are able to discuss from the perspective of an early riser and a night owl. 

We are both learning to be more mindful with our mornings as they naturally set the atmosphere for your day. Join us in a mindful morning challenge in October - we will be working on making time for ourselves in the mornings and being prepared mentally, physically and spiritually to attend to the rest of our days, the best we can. 

Head over to our instagram (car.chats) to join our mindful morning challenge and be able to engage with our future content x

Join us in discussing and learning about human's relationship to the built and natural environment. We interview an incredible international guest (Rea Hallal) who is an expert in all things psychology and environmental psychology. It was fascinating being able to understand the science behind our human connections to design and the world around us. Rea shared with us so much knowledge and practical tips on how we can connect with the environment around us and understand the factors which influence our preferences like culture and gender. Rea speaks in such a wise yet accessible way, we know that each of you will gain so much like (like we did) from this interview. For more information on this topic and psychology as a whole, follow Rea's instagram @psychology_design via https://instagram.com/psychology_design?igshid=qpo8y261rb5q.

Join us as we debunk a selection of the dates from our pervious episode "Worst and funniest first dates". Our initial reactions (in other episode) to a few of the dates unintentionally missed the serious underlying themes of disrespect, injustice and dismissal of women and humans in general. It is natural as humans the react to the dramatics of an events and miss the underlying injustice in the story, especially as women. We sift through the shocking dramatics of the dates and discuss how many of the women in varying degrees, were taken advantage of and had their agency removed.                                  

We speak about the importance of having a way out of a situation as a females and how males can actually step up and be an avenue of safety and security . This episode is not an attempt to put males down but instead, aims to point out the toxic messages and motives in the dates we discuss. This episodes aims to increase our awareness of impure motives and help us to question which injustices have been overpowered by the drama in our own stories and the stories of those around us.

Join us for a short and lay back episode as we chat about what we have been learning during this season of isolation. This episode touches mostly on the topics around sleep and letting yourself rest. We are no strangers to feeling guilty about slowing down and looking after ourselves, yet we have both been learning different ways we can feel more settled lately and would love to share. This episode discusses the stresses of being a student during the pandemic, transitioning out of university, battling sleep, allowing yourself to create, wind down and much more. We know it's hard to be kind to yourself sometimes but let this be a reminder that we are all doing better than we think.

Come along for the ride as we update you on our experience of isolation so far. This episode touches on our personal life and some serious topics such as human rights in an approachable manner.  We discuss how 2020 has uncovered many issues with human rights such as  'Black Lives Matter', Indigenous population's experience in Australia and Human trafficking. We aim to share our findings and encourage reflection into these areas where human rights are greatly violated, our hope to continue this important conversation.  We don't promise to have all the answers, but we promise to keep pressing into learning. We also compare being an introvert and extrovert during isolation, so really this episode is one for us all.
