  • Being alone vs being a'lonely - ft. Al and Lil

    Hey Besties, 

    Today we're chatting about the difference between being alone and being lonely - or as Al would say, 'a-lonely'. There have been many times in our lives where we have been with a bunch of people and felt so lonely and conversely, totally alone but so content.. so we wanted to talk about that today! 

    We hope you enjoy this episode! 

    Lots of love, 

    Al and Lil xx

  • BAILEY SEAMER is making big moves for Bipolar Disorder awareness

    Hey Besties, 

    Recently we had the absolute pleasure of chatting to Bailey Seamer from The Wandering Minds Walk. Bailey is currently walking the entirety of the east coast of Australia to raise awareness (and money!) for Bipolar Disorder and Depression. This is a cause very close to Baileys heart as she has first hand experience which she so kindly shares with us in this episode. 

    Bailey is an absolute force to be reckoned with and we felt so emotional and inspired by this chat - we hope you do too! 

    If you want to see more of Bailey, head to her socials over at @wandering_minds_walk or her website at https://wandering-minds.org/ where you can find all the ways to support her on her journey as well as donate to the Black Dog Institute if you can! 

    Lots of love, 

    Al and Lil xx

  • Quick bit: help, I'm self-sabotaging ft. Lil

    Hey Besties, 

    Help, I'm self-sabotaging! At least, last week I was.. 
    In todays episode I talk about what self-sabotaging behaviour is, why we unknowingly do this to ourselves and how last week I avoided doing all of the things I know are good for me. Eeeek! 

    I would love to know, what self-sabotaging behaviours have you noticed that you do? And can you pin-point a pattern or trigger for when you do this? Bringing awareness to this is an absolute game changer! 

    I hope you enjoyed this episode, 

    Lil xx

  • Al and Lil chat about the mess that is your 20's

    Hey besties, 

    So like.. what's the deal with your 20's? Anyone know? When Al messaged me saying she wanted to do an episode about 'what the f**k is with your 20's' I immediately said YEP. In this episode we chat about how pivotal your 20's are, the growth you go through and the mess/chaos you experience. 

    We hope you enjoy this episode! 

    Lots of love,

  • ERCHANA MURRAY-BARTLETT on running 150 marathons in 150 days!

    Hey besties, 

    Today we have such an inspiring episode for you - we are interviewing the one and only Erchana Murray-Bartlett who has recently finished her massive effort of running 150 marathons in 150 days. We had been following Erchana on her journey from Cape York to Melbourne and just had to get her on the pod to chat about her experience. 

    Erchana not only ran 150 marathons in 150 days (breaking the world record!) but she also raised $133,000 for the Wilderness Society which she is so incredibly passionate about. 

    We are so grateful for this chat with Erchana and can't wait for you to hear it. 

    To follow Erchana, head to @tip_to_toe2022 and if this episode has inspired you to donate to the Wilderness Society head to https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-local-extinctions-project-our-native-mates?member=19709387&sharetype=teams&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer 

    Thanks so much for tuning in! 

    Lots of love,

  • Quick bit: how changing your story can change your life - ft. Lil

    Hey Besties,

    Lilli here! Today I really want to talk about something that comes up a lot in my work but something I also have personal experience with - the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. In particularly, how these stories limit ourselves. 

    In this episode I talk about how we develop these stories/beliefs, how to get curious about these and how to actually make change here. 

    I would love to hear how this episode resonates with you and if you notice you tell yourself stories that maybe limit you. 

    Lots of love,

    Lil x

  • Quick bit: 6 things I’ve learnt from dating (and how to be happy single) ft. Al

    Hey Besties,

    For today's Quick Bit, I (Al here!) wanted to talk about dating and what i've learnt from dating over the past 6 months. It's literally been one of the most transformative 6 months of my life and i wanted to share what i've learnt and why i'm still choosing to be single.

    A quote i wanted to share that i completely forgot to mention in the episode (lol):

    to walk away from someone you care about who cannot meet your needs is one of the bravest acts you can do xxx

    Lots of love, 

    Al x
