Ep: 11. In a Flurry

Happy belated International Women’s Week. This episode begins in a flurry, it took over an hour to get the remote recording working (tech issues on Ambers end). During this hour, Amber was stretched out on a hotel bed drinking some pineapple, canned, cocktail concoction after a full day of International Women’s Week conference. Whilst Jade was drinking a beer and overheating in her wardrobe, which was the best recording option available to her. The conversation begins with both sisters describing how their year began in a flurry and moved on to deeper and philosophical content such as existential dread and disorganised linen cupboards! Amber describes her ‘in a flurry hands’ as “two crabs touching each other on a mirror”, a confusing and somewhat disturbing image that we shouldn’t read too much into. Both sisters reflect on the contributing factors such as peri-menopause, fear of scarcity and the mental load. They also talk about the potential impact of long term flurriness, such as drawing others into the whirlwind, taking on more than they have capacity for and the inevitable burnout. Amber’s Semi-precious moment could have an entire episode devoted to it. To sum it up, she eats like an unattended 7year old when away from home and on her own. As for Jade’s, well… Amber accuses her of ‘youngest child narcissism’, which Jade adamantly defends and reframes as self soothing. And seeing as she in the mental health professional here (and she is writing this episode summary) we’ll just say that she was right! Dr Fatima Khan is the Menopause specialist that Amber mentions. https://www.instagram.com/menopausespecialist To follow and subscribe to your mildly unhinged SEMI-PRECIOUS hosts, you can connect via Instagram and Linktree https://linktr.ee/semi_precious_podcast Connect with Jade: If you are wanting to understand more about Jade and her counselling practice or ADHD Coaching you can visit Awaken ADHD or on socials Instagram and Facebook [email protected] Connect with Amber: If you’ are curious about Amber and her brand agency you can visit The Edison Agency or follow her on socials LinkedIn or Instagram CREDITS Producer: Amber Bonney and Jade Bonney Hosts: Amber Bonney and Jade Bonney Sound Editing: Jade Bonney Social Content Creator: Amber Bonney Creative Director: Amber Bonney
