102: Can The Weather Control Our Life and Change Who We are?

Hot or Cold? How Weather Shapes Who We Are Can the weather change your mood, your lifestyle, your memories—even your identity? In this episode, Rosie and Roula go deep into a surprisingly emotional topic: the weather. From Lebanon to the Netherlands, Queensland to Darwin, they share how climate, seasons, and sunlight affect everything—from what we wear to how we feel about ourselves. You’ll hear laughter, nostalgia, and some passionate weather-based preferences (spoiler: we’ve got two spring girls here). This episode explores: The emotional toll of six months without sunshine Why Rosie’s idea of “spring” could melt a Dutch person Roula’s summer nostalgia for the Lebanese mountains How weather guilt is a real thing (especially in gray skies) And the shared dream of owning homes in the sun and the mountains If you've ever complained about the heat, longed for light, or just had a strong opinion about rain—this one’s for you.  Takeaways I like spring weather.  I love life here and I've just gotten over the weather.  Spring here is so beautiful.  I would be with cold weather more outside than with hot weather.  I still feel the summer air in Lebanon.  A lot of people suffer from winter depression.  I try to keep it sunny in my head.  We're both spring ladies.  I feel so guilty not going outside.  I think my version of spring is probably quite different. Keywords weather, preferences, spring, nostalgia, mental health, seasons, Australia, Netherlands, emotional impact, nature --------------------☕️ Buy us a coffee!🎙️ Send us a voice message🛍️ Buy some Rosie and Roula merch!--------------------⭐️ Leave us a review▶️ Follow us on Instagram and TikTok🎞️ Subscribe to our YouTube channel--------------------🎧 Check out Roula's podcast🎧 Check out Rosie's podcast
