The 40-hour workweek is an 87-year-old concept that hasn't changed one bit since its inception! Recently there has been a big shift in employee expectations, mainly fuelled by millennials in the workforce. I have been hearing the words "The Great Resignation" on social media this year which is where people are calling it quits on their jobs to pursue their own gigs! We love to see it! 

We are seeing more requests to work from home, work four 10 hour days, or do a 32 hour week. We are at a pivotal point in history where life outside of work is significantly valued, most of us young ones understand that we work so that we can live, not the other way round! 

In this ep, I chat about the history of the 40-hour workweek and whether it is still an effective model today, then we dive into some common alternative working options. I finish off by talking a bit about my own experience of negotiating a 32-hour workweek in my job and why it was so important to me that I secured this.

I brought Toby onto the show to talk about how he started his two businesses that both have a strong focus on sustainable development and circular economy and I was pleasantly surprised when the conversation took a turn into discussing men's mental health! 

Toby has always had the entrepreneurial bone so I wasn't surprised to hear he ran a successful repair business whilst studying at uni. He then managed to fit in a year-long overseas trip before landing back in NZ just before the pandemic hit. 

When his job in the tourism industry naturally ended, he put all his focus into launching Mutu, a peer-to-peer marketplace that enables you to rent/lend items you have around your house. As the conversation progressed, Toby and I found ourselves chatting about self-care and development, his mental health journey, and how he has really benefitted from a local initiative - Man Cave, Men's Circles that create a safe space for support. 

As if running Mutu wasn't enough, Toby and his team have also recently launched MenuAid a meal inspiration and recipe website, solving the what's for dinner dilemma! 

I can't wait for you to soak up the juiciness from this inspiring young man!

I am super excited to bring you this valuable ep about brain waves and how they are influenced by our outer world. Please note I am no brain scientist, all concepts in this ep were derived from Dr. Joe Dispenza's book - How to Break the Habit of Being Yourself. 

I introduce the ep with a bit of a chat about the different brain waves (Beta, Theta, Alpha, etc) and then I dive a bit deeper into how our brain waves develop from the minute we're born until we reach adulthood. It is so fascinating to think that a certain life event will affect us differently depending on what age we are and how much our brain has developed. 

I hope you guys are as intrigued about the brain as I am!

WE'RE TAKING A BREAK!!

It's time to end Season One and sit back and plan for the future of the podcast!   

I am really looking forward to a break as getting an episode out each week whilst working fulltime and having two other side hustles is starting to become a bit much! 

This episode is a quick life update and reflection on S1, as well as a sneak peak in what plans I have during the break! I will still be active on Instagram whilst we take a break from actively creating episodes so I'm always just a message away.  

Thank you, everyone, for your endless support xo

Tayla's life mission is to meet cool people and do cool shit, could it get any simpler? 

Tayla is back in NZ after the pandemic caused her college in America to stop all sports where she was overseas on an athlete scholarship. We chat about how her overseas experiences have shaped her into who she is today. 

We chat about how Tayla has built the confidence to make bold life decisions on the spot, if she wants to move somewhere she does it, and makes it happen without thinking about all the "what if's".  

We then hear about how Tayla's personal development journey started from the age of 10 when she picked up her first "self-help" book. Tayla is the creator behind the Piggyback Club which aims to make self-development more relevant and relatable for young people.

What if losing your job was the best thing that ever happened to you?

To the outside world, Kendall appeared to have it all, the high paying corporate job, bustling social life and busy lifestyle but inside, she was crumbling. Kendall was completely out of alignment (but didn't know this at the time) and it showed, she had crippling anxiety and depression. 

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) Kendall lost her job due to Covid-19 which accelerated her spiritual awakening journey, she invested in a coach and over the course of six months completely transformed her life. Her redundancy allowed her to spend 2020 investing time, energy, money and love into herself, something she had never done before. 

Kendall is now a Certified Women's Life Coach and Holistic Health Coach whose mission is to guide women towards rediscovering their true self.
