Episodes

  1. Ep. 019 - When leaving somewhere is critical to starting over

    In this episode we implore why we have or haven't moved away in pursuit of education, work or just pure escapism. On the way we have understood that we shouldn't always chase the adventure of starting in a foreign place just because of the way is presented on media and actually how it done for…

  2. Ep.018 - Is asking for forgiveness better than asking for permission?

    In this episode we discuss the implications of this often used expression to just do something without permission and asking dealing with the consequences afterwards. This approach is critical for survival and gaining momentum and is often seen in startups but it should evolve organically as an...

  3. Ep. 017 - Me, My Work & I

    In this episode we discuss how society has conditioned us to identify ourselves by our work (profession or educational background). We come up with ways to challenge those biases by recognising our scope of influence and where external factors influence the outcome, and remembering that we can...

  4. Ep. 016 - The generation gap: mental health awareness

    In this episode we try to understand why perspectives on mental health have changed from generation to generation. As awareness and understanding of mental health illnesses continue to grow, we ask "does our generation have a increasing influence on getting mental health in the agenda?" * The...

  5. 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…

  6. Ep. 014 - Do we need to fully understand others to be truly empathetic?

    In this episode we explore the topic of empathy, can it emotional intelligence be taught or is it something we are born with? It is a well known truth that empathy is one of the key components to building meaningful relationships with others, but in our quest to becoming more empathetic humans we...

  7. Ep. 013 - How is serendipity important?

    In this episode we talk about the mystery of luck. We share and examine moments of good fortune in our lives and try to find patterns to uncover how we can manufacture good luck in the future. Tune in hear what we discover and whether you can improve the opportunities for serendipity too. * The...

  8. Ep. 012 - How can a 'Yes person' start saying NO

    In this episode we discuss how we began to reinvent ourselves from reliable "yes" person to a "maybe not" kind of human. We describe tools that can be used now like prioritization and delegation through to more medium term exercises like Therapy. If there are any other techniques that have worked...

  9. Ep. 011 - Are people working on sustainability privileged?

    In this episode we discuss our observations of all the different kind of reasons people work on sustainability and whether or not privilege is a common theme or even a prerequisite across us all. To overcome the privilege reputation, the best thing activists can do is walk in the shoes of those...

  10. Ep. 010 - Life is good and I am happy

    In this episode, we discuss our approach to expressing gratitude for life as it is. Making time to identify the small privileges that are easy to overlook and the once-in-a-lifetime milestones which elevate us. Sometimes though there's a little voice reminding you nothing can last forever… but we...

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

    In this episode, we talk about how important our long terms goals are in daily life. Often this "end destination" can be achieved by breaking it into a repeatable system of short-term goals, habits, or rituals but with the end final destination always providing the guiding purpose. Sometimes,...

  12. 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...

  13. Ep. 007 - Setting boundaries at work and in relationships

    In this episode we explain how we have attempted to hold others to the same standards we expect of ourselves. This should in theory unlock the ability to bring our authentic selves to work but often we can be our own harshest critics. Sound familiar? Let's talk about the often blurry boundary...

  14. Ep. 006 - Showing yourself vulnerable to the world

    In this episode we talk about the importance and also risk of showing your vulnerabilities to people around you. We agree that showing vulnerability could be an instrument in fighting stereotypes facing different communities, and therefore using it in an emotionally intelligent way is key to...

  15. Ep. 005 - Taking the first steps about mental health care

    In this episode we discuss when and how we took control of our mental health through the use of therapy. For both of us the journey to take that first step, took years… but once we did, the value it unlocked became apparent. If you felt the way we did, then please don't hesitate to seek help. *…
