We've had loads of requests to talk about our experience of moving to a new city and navigating all the loneliness and out-of-place feelings. We're sharing about what helped us feel at home in new places and all the ups and downs of being somewhere new.

 

We asked, and you delivered! Today's episode is full of your emails and voicenotes fessing up to your most embarassing moments (we're sharing ours too in solidarity). Enjoy a laugh at the expense of others, friends!

You've heard us reference the enneagram before, so this week we thought we'd share a bit more about how this tool has been useful for us; both personally and professionally. We're no experts, but this is our take.

New Year, same basic us! In this episode, we are sharing a few of the things that we want to focus on for 2022. Ways we want to show up, what we want to give our attention to. Less of a resolution and more of a refresh on some key life things.

We're back! It feels so good to get behind the mic again and catch up on our break. This week we're talking about all the best bits of the last few weeks; moments, food, presents and all the rest.

We can't wait to dive into new topics and bring some new voices on the podcast this year and as always, we're so grateful to you, our listeners, for being here with us.

In our final episode of the year, we are throwing ourselves into ALL the festive chat; traditions, memories, movies and songs!

We also just want to say a huge thank you to you all for listening to our wee corner of the podcast world, it means such a lot to us! We can't wait to get back to your ears in 2022. 

It's getting closer to that time! Gift giving is likely taking up some significant mental space right now so this week we're bringing some of our favourite gift-giving ideas and sharing some of our best and worst gift giving moments. 

Anything worth noting will be shared in the show notes here: https://www.makinganeffortpodcast.com/episodes

Continuing on in our series of 'tricky things we don't talk about in friendship' we thought we'd have an honest chat about money; our family history with it, how we manage it now, why it's important to acknowledge privilege and security and how it comes up in friendships. It's a juicy one!

This week we spent some time discussing some of the friendship dilemmas that you sent through to us. It's clear that so many of the challenges we face in our friend relationships are so universal and common, so we hope by hearing the things others are navigating that you feel seen and know that we're all out here trying to this friendship thing as best we can!
