Hard Aul Life: Recent Episodes
Aimée + Deirdre
Life is hard and if we go through life thinking everyone else is having a fantastic time, life can be pretty lonely too. We love a positive boast about everyone's lives that are sooo amazing but can we throw in a few stories about grief, anxiety and crazy pms mood swings from time to time?
Deirdre and Aimee have had their fair share of shite times and now they love to talk about them, how they get through them and often they just like to laugh at how ridiculous life can be sometimes. If you want real talk with a touch of dark humour you've come to the right podcast.
The world (and the people in it) could just benefit from a bit more kindness. In episode one we focused on how we can be kinder to ourselves, now in episode two we're chatting about taking that kindness and sharing it with others (while still minding yourself in the process) Deirdre and Aimée chat all about how to be kind to the aggravating people in your life as well as how not to lash out at the one's you love.
A few bits that were mentioned during the podcast:

Life is long and you're stuck with yourself for all of it, so you might as well figure out how to be nice to yourself. The ability to take a step back and check in with yourself/ recognise you're not being a friend to yourself is such a vital tool for getting through your 20s, that's why we're kicking off season one with an episode all about self love/ acceptance and how to figure out the tools that will make you kinder to yourself.
Just a lil' introduction to the podcast, letting you know who we are and why you should bother listening to us. We also run through the episode list for the season.
