Living during these pandemic times has most definitely exacerbated the problem of feeling loneliness more than ever; but does one automatically feel loneliness when they're alone? In this episode, we give our take on the difference between the two states and discuss some of the techniques we've used to cope when the pang of loneliness washes over us. Tune in, let us know what strategies you use to manage loneliness and whether or not you agree that there's a difference between loneliness vs being alone; the topic is open for debate.

In this episode, we chat about our experiences with loss of friendships. With an emphasis on normalising the sadness and anger we often feel after losing an important person in our life, we try to reconcile with the fact that we can appreciate that some losses may actually be a blessing in disguise. Additionally, we will also be diving into how sometimes upgrading our friendship circle may not be such a bad idea, especially if we no longer feel connected with these friends in terms of values, mutual interests - that is, when we come to a fork in the road.
Tune in, let us hear your thoughts on how you've coped with a friendship break down and whether or not you've stayed in a toxic friendship longer than you should have.

Almost everyone has a mental list in their head of what they look for in a partner. For some this list may be based on superficial aspects, one that focuses heavily on the extrinsic side of a partner; their physical attributes. For others their mental list may focus on the person's intrinsic side; their character and personality, and sometimes this list is a combination of both. But is the existence of such a perfect partner elusive? Are our expectations realistic? Can we attract this perfect soul mate using the Law of Attraction?
In the same vein, should we be basing this list on something more rigid instead of looks, which are more fleeting and transient?
As many of us check off the boxes when we are chatting up a potential romantic prospect, sometimes having a list can lead to cancelling out a partner that may not necessarily be perfect by our own ideals but may indeed still perfectly complement our life.
This episode follows on from our previous episode as part of our 2-part "mystical series". Tune in and let us know your thoughts.

Excuse me, EXCUSE ME WAIT! I think you dropped your crown 👑.
In this episode, we explore our experiences with body image, the fluidity of beauty expectations in social media and the atypical nature of accepting compliments; from others and ourselves. Let’s take the time to silence that inner voice - the biggest critic that lives within us, the voice that claims we aren’t "pretty enough" or "good enough".
It's time to normalise showing self love for yourself because let’s face it, you’re doing great sweetie.

Hey Google, play Toxic by Britney Spears.
Whilst many of us can recognise toxic behaviour exhibited by others, it is comparatively difficult to see that we ourselves may be capable of acting toxic. Britney Spears was therefore right to ask "Don't you know that you're toxic?" as many of us don't. That is, until we take a step back and evaluate ourselves or as Ice Cube says "check yo self" .
Grab the popcorn, pop those headphones in, because in this episode we call out ourselves for some of our own past/present toxic traits.
