In this weeks episode we debate the term ‘positive discomfort’. Do you agree that being in the ‘discomfort zone’ is positive because it results in growth? Should we follow the trend that is all over social media to push yourself to be more and do more to potentially get what you want? We break down the difference between it being your own choice and being pushed into the discomfort, how to prioritise what you want and need in a situation and how to figure out whether or not it is indeed worth it. Not everyone has to want the same thing, you do you and let others do what they need/ want to do. Regardless of your choice keep the shame game at bay. We would love to know what you want us to talk about or if you have any thoughts on this weeks episode.

In this weeks episode we clear all the confusion out there regarding mindfulness and meditation. Do those two words make you think of someone sitting crossed legged going ‘om om om’? Have you brushed it off as something that’s not for you or the thought of clearing your mind seems impossible? Well we are here to tell you the truth about how simplistic the art of mindfulness can be and what on earth meditation is. Folks, it’s as simple as mental free time. Oh and don’t worry, we reveal the one place we all go to everyday where we all have time alone to meditate… no excuses! We would love to know what you want us to talk about or if you have any thoughts on this weeks episode.

In this weeks episode we take a look at some of the major firsts in our life. Inspired by a trip to the cinema to see Toy Story 4, we got all nostalgic about when we saw the original film and how it was a big ‘first’ in our lives, even if we didn’t know it at the time. We then dive into 4 major firsts in our past, our first trip abroad, first gig/concert/show, first kiss and first job. What impact did it have on our lives, if any? Was it all hyped up? Was it as big a deal as we expected? How did they shape us?We also want to know some of your firsts and how much of an impact, if at all, it made on your life!

In this weeks episode we discuss why we took one month out of CrossFit and why it was the best thing we did. Moving, setting up home in a brand new area and all the stresses that come with it are bad enough, but did we want to add optional additional stress to our bodies by doing CrossFit? The answer was no! We reveal what happened during that month, how our bodies felt, what surprises we had and what we did for our bodies instead. Now, 2 weeks back at CrossFit, we also take a fresh new look at how we move and what role it will play in our life.We would love to know what you want us to talk about or if you have any thoughts on this weeks episode.

In this weeks episode, a Jen solo episode, I sit down to chat about how prioritising your belongings can lead to you feeling more organised. I dive into the world of ‘wants’ and how it’s ok to want things in your world that make you happy and therefore are a priority. How belongings can sometimes make you feel suffocated, being honest with yourself about your ‘stuff’, our changing priorities as we age and how to use these principals when buying new things. I then do a quick dive into how you can ask yourself these questions with regards prioritising your belongings but also your time. If you should want your belongings you should also do what you want with your time! We would love to know what you want us to talk about or if you have any thoughts on this weeks episode.

We look at how we have changed over the past 4 years, our growth in mindset, how it feels to leave somewhere you love and when you ‘think’ you know you are making the right choice but just need to go for it.
