  • Nuisance Neighbours, Launch Parties & Misplaced Guilt

    • Why all social norms are complete b.s. and that there is no “normal”.
    • That being different isn't nearly as different as we fear it to be!

  • Homeschooling, Loner Vibes & Life Balance BS

     This week's episode of the Messy Business Podcast is a bit controversial! 

    We challenge the notion of work-life balance, and how life balance is attached to the idea that our work is stressful, unfulfilling, and something that we hate! We also explore the sometimes confusing dynamics of relationships in the business world and the reasons why Kirsty's made a return to yoga and meditation and Sarah thinks she might become a poet!

    Listen in to find out:

    • Why Kirsty hates the word 'container' and why Sarah loves it!
    • Words of wisdom from podcast special guest Ajna (Kirsty's oldest) 
    • How Kirsty manages intense and busy work periods with the ever-present feelings of mum guilt and ensuring she spends time with her kids and family.
    • Why chaos and disruption are powerful and exciting catalysts for change, not something to be feared.
    • Why the wellness industry has a lot to answer for when perpetuating often unhelpful narratives around concepts like life balance!
    • What Kirsty and Sarah said when they asked each other “What’s the next chapter for you?” 

    We'd love to hear what you think about life balance. Do you agree with us that it's a false notion and everyone's life balance is unique to them?

    And if you're a Welsh-speaking listener please help us out with the pronunciation of araf!

    • How relationship attachment styles show up everywhere, even in the business world, because let’s face it relationships are hard!
