(T.W. Discussions about death and grief in detail)

In this weeks episode we are taking an intimate look at death and grief. Mel is sharing from her experience of losing her mum, we talk about how to be a good friend to someone who is grieving and we explore the importance of normalising this aspect of the human experience. Super fun huh?! We know it's intense, but it's also one of the rawest and most loving conversations we've had.

This week on the podcast we’re talking all about FOOD.

As Mel says, we were BORN to talk about food!

This week we’re talking about jealousy and comparison— specifically how it pertains to women because it’s what we have the most experience with. We talk about how we feel like it seems to immobilise or HYPER-mobilise us when we’re faced with feelings of jealousy and comparison.

And ultimately we just think that it’s super common.

There’s empathy for it all! Check out the rest of the shownotes with other links over on: https://www.makinganeffortpodcast.com/episodes/episode-10-jealousy-and-comparison
