  • Gratitude Mini Series - Part 1

    Gratitude Mini Series - Part 1
    Jan 5 2026
    This week we’re diving the first part of our mini series on gratitude - not the sparkly Instagram version, but the real, science-backed, actually-useful kind that has nothing to do with “too blessed to be stressed” energy. We explore why gratitude still has such a powerful impact on the body and mind, and how the research has evolved. In this episode we cover: The updated science - How gratitude activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your built-in calm button) Why gratitude helps you sleep better Why it grounds you in real life instead of spiralling Micro vs. Macro Gratitude What to do when gratitude feels impossible Why gratitude sometimes lands badly - and what to try instead Pre-gratitude practices for when your system is overwhelmed Reframing gratitude as “noticing what else is true,” not pretending everything is fine. We also share our Self Care Steps to practicing gratitude and our own gratitude lists for the week as well as your shout outs.

  • NOvember

    NOvember
    Nov 17 2025
    It’s November - or as we’re calling it, No-vember: the month we stop overcommitting, overfunctioning, and saying yes when every fibre of our being is screaming no. We’ve spent decades saying yes - to work projects, school fairs, dinners we didn’t want to attend, and “quick favours” that were anything but. Our “yes” muscles are officially burnt out. This week, we’re discussing how to say a guilt free no, diving into why saying no is an act of emotional self-defence and chatting about the science behind why it’s harder for women, and how protecting your time protects your mental health. In this episode we discuss: The real benefits of saying no - from better relationships to stronger self-trust. Our best practical tips and “No Scripts” for polite but firm refusals. How to swap FOMO for JOMO (the Joy of Missing Out). The 5 self-care steps to saying no with kindness and confidence.
