ME time

Hello lovely listeners!

Welcome back to another episode of ME time; we're so happy you decided to tune in! Today's episode is a slightly shorter, lighter hearted one than usual featuring a few glasses of Pimm's and some giddy energy because it also happens to be our first live/ in-person episode together. We also have a guest starring in this week's episode ;)

We will be back next week with a slightly more serious episode but we hope you nonetheless enjoyed this dose of me time <3

Disclaimer: you do not need to drink alcohol to have fun at uni or make friends! These are just some of our experiences and lessons we have learnt around drinking which we hope are funny/ hold some vague nuggets of wisdom to learn form. 

Love,

Emma and Maya x

Hello again lovely listeners!

This week's episode is all about body image - something that all too many of us struggle with. From our personal experiences, to social media, patriarchal capitalism, menstruation, hormonal fluctuations, and much more, we do a deep dive into the topic so that you can hopefully realise you're not alone in this. We also share our top tips for those days when your body image plummets and self-criticism is through the roof. 

From two girls that have struggled - and sometimes still do - with body image, we hope you can find some inner peace through listening to this episode. Thank you so much for trusting us with this topic and tuning into us this week <3

Love,

Maya and Emma x

P.S. As always, we would love for you to give us a 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts - it only takes 30s!

Hey everyone!

Welcome back to the ME time podcast. This week, not only do we have a brand new episode for you, we also welcome season TWO with a bit of a bang by hosting with the lovely Cara and Leo from the matcha diaries. Plus, you may (or may not) have noticed we have new podcast artwork! 

Anyway, despite all this change, your co-hosts are very much the same twenty year olds attempting to navigate the ever-changing environment of the twenty-first century. We discuss all things authenticity with the girls, especially in relation to school, growing up, university, social expectations, relationships, and much more. We hope you love it as much as we do!

As always, thanks so much for listening and if you did enjoy it, please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts. It really helps us out <3

Love,

Emma and Maya x

Hey hey lovely listeners!

We're back with another episode of ME time and it also happens to be the finale of our first season. How have ten weeks and episodes already gone by? In this week's episode, we're discussing all things anxiety: hangxiety, social anxiety, leaving lockdown related anxiety, deadline anxiety, and so much more. We're also sharing a few of our favourite books and films as a little season finale bonus. Hopefully this will be relevant and helpful to most of you :)

Whether you've been here from day one or this is your first episode of ME time, we really appreciate your support. And fear not - we're not going anywhere. We'll be back next Monday with a brand new season, episode, artwork, and some guests! But for now, plug in your headphones, find your happy place, and enjoy some ME time <3

Love,

Maya and Emma x

Hello lovely listeners!

Welcome back to another episode of ME time and thank you for tuning in <3

In this week's episode, we're taking ourselves back to our childhood, teen and tween years and giving our "big sister advice" that we wish we'd had. Hindsight is a beautiful thing! From the trivial side fringes and brace colours, to the more profound popularity and relationship conundrums, this episode has got it all. We hope you enjoy!

As always, thanks for your support and please do share this episode with your friends and family if you did enjoy it.

Hi lovely listeners!

Welcome back to another episode of ME time, we're so happy to have you here. Today's episode is a juicy one that hit really close to home for both of us because it's all about people pleasing - something that we are both guilty of. We're opening up about the effects of toxic positivity, our fear of rejection, the link between people pleasing and patriarchy, the struggle to say "no" and the overuse of "sorry" in conversation. 

So put your headphones in, get some fresh air, and enjoy a bit of ME time <3

Love,

Maya and Emma x

Hi podcast fam!

Welcome back to another episode of ME time - we could not be happier to have you here <3

In this week's episode, we're discussing all things related to stress in a virtual world. As a society, our screen time has soared since the start of the pandemic and the repeated cycles of lockdown, and we wanted to explore the effects of this on our stress levels and mental health in general. Between online learning, remote working, social media addiction and self-isolation, we're sure you'll be able to relate to most of the topics mentioned. We also comment on various polls that we asked you guys throughout the week to get you all involved and include your own perspectives.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy a bit of ME time. 

Love,

Emma and Maya x

Hello lovely listeners and welcome back to another episode of ME time <3

In this week's episode, we're talking all things FOOD. Inspired by Off Menu, we are discussing our dream menus in our dream restaurants. Including our dream starters through to our dream desserts, a nod to the still vs sparkling water debate, and a quickfire question round to conclude, this episode is an ode to our love of food. Somehow, we manage to ramble on for almost an hour - so plug your headphones in, go out for your daily walk, and enjoy this much-needed dose of ME time.

If you enjoyed this episode, please do share with your friends, family, and followers and rate us (five stars) on Apple podcasts. We really do appreciate it!
