Ep. 016 - The generation gap: mental health awareness

Ep. 015 - That thing called 'killing time'
In this episode we bond over how we try to avoid "killing time" as much as possible but instead reframe this concept into something we feel less guilty about. If we add the dimension of purpose or rest, then we succeed in making every moment count. * The opinions in this podcast are solely our…

Ep. 011 - Are people working on sustainability privileged?

Ep. 009 - What about seeing the journey over the destination?

Ep. 008 - Fear - motivator or demotivator?
In this episode we talk about how fear can be an active motivator or demotivator in personal and professional life. We think back to our earliest memory of "what we wanted to be when we grew up" and *spoiler alert* whether fear played a part in redirecting us from those early ambitions. We also...

Ep. 007 - Setting boundaries at work and in relationships
