And this is just normal 😂🧠In this episode we find out on air how dreams can heal, help and/or harm us.

    We’re finding out about:
    -Oneirology and the study of dreams
    -Keeping a dream diary
    - If you can use your dreams to interpret your unconscious desires
    - How to use dreams to manifest
    - More about asking your ‘higher’ self questions
    - How to influence your dreams
    - Lucid dreams/vivid dreams/sex dream/ common dreams/signs and symbols/ nightmares /sleeping problems/anxiety dreams/reoccurring dreams/daydreams/false awakenings/precognitive dreams/psychic dreams/surreal dreams vs reality dreams/cheating dreams &more!
    We’re  giving you LOADS of tips, resources and recommendations on keeping your own #dreamdiary and putting purpose behind your snoozes.

  • #7. Contraception! - Part One
    ⚠️TW: Disussion of suicide and sex. Hey there, welcome back (or howdy hi if it's your first time here!). Jas & Chaar are back and in this week's episode, we open up the discussion surrounding contraception in a two-parter special. With a lack of education surrounding contraception (at least in the UK) Chaar gives some scary truths about contraception stemming from her MA Journalism research project. We also talk about our experiences, funny facts from history and we go into depth about different forms of contraception that are widely used. Plus, we briefly hear from Dr. Aurora Malet Karas, a sexologist and Neuroscientist, in a clip from Chaar's project, about how the contraceptive pill can change our view on our partners too! This is definitely an episode (or two) you do NOT want to miss! Let us know your thoughts at @IntentionallyYouPodcast on Instagram or leave a review! Peace, love N' happy listening! XOX.

  • #6. Self-Investigation: Getting to Know You! - Part Two

    Yo yo yiggidy yo, it’s ya’ grrrrls again- Chaar and Jas xo

    In episode 6 we are continuing our conversation from last week which was all about getting to know yourself. Self investigation is soooo important because your self worth, which determines your confidence, ability to achieve goals and general mental health n’ happiness, is all rooted in how you feel about yourself. Living intentionally goes hand in hand with being authentically yourself, and that can’t come from a place of self hate. In order to love yourself enough to live the life you deserve, you must learn about who you are and what it is that makes you, you! In this episode we go on to discuss journalling: why it’s useful for us and some prompts you can do to self interview. We also chat about the reaaaal reality of inner child work (&play!)  facing the ugliness of doing shadow work, identity, self development, the power of saying NO and following your joy. We recommend some great resources to learn more about your past-selves so as to help your future self flourish. Let us know what you think! LOVE YA BYE xoxo

  • #5. Self-Investigation: Getting to Know You! - Part One
    Hey You! In this episode we chat more about the concept of learning to live with intention and get detailed on ways you can get to know more about who YOU are. We see a huge value in self investigation as a way to become a better cheerleader for yourself! You will blossom in your health, relationships, career and in pursuit of goals so much more if you are your own biggest supporter! We talk all about the reasons for learning more about you you you, the concept of identity, methods to discovering more that might be buried deep inside, and why its so valuable! There are many downsides of being your own biggest critic and its easy to sl*g off someone you don't trust, or dont like, which can often be how we feel about ourselves. The first step to self love in our opinion is understanding. You can use this podcast as a support in learning to understand yourself better, and thus love yourself better! As Ru Paul would say 'If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?' ....AMEN!
    Thanks so much for coming to listen guys! We love youuuuu so much and are eternally grateful that you have come to listen to lil old us!
