Been There, Felt That

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the wellness industry. From green juices to ice baths we’re spilling the tea on what we think is genius… and what we think is a waste of time, effort and money. Join us for a fun, no-filter chat on whether wellness trends are actually good for you or just another way to sell you stuff you don’t need.

Embarrassment isn’t always about what happened - it’s about who we think we have to be. In this episode, we dig into how those cringey moments tie into self-worth, people-pleasing, and the fear of being judged. If you’ve ever obsessed over what someone might think of you or shrunk yourself to avoid looking silly, this one’s a big warm permission slip to be human.

In today’s episode, we’re taking a breather from the deep chats and diving into something a little more fun - The Traitors. Stacey’s got Rosie fully hooked, and we’re unpacking why this show (and a bit of trashy TV in general) might actually be good for your wellbeing. From giving your brain a break to making space for more joy, we’re all about reclaiming downtime without the guilt. Because sometimes the most healing thing you can do…is get invested in someone wearing a cloak.✨ Connect with Rosie: click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.🌿 Connect with Stacey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠stacey-brown.com

Let’s be real: adulting is a lot. In this episode, we unpack the weight of responsibility - everything from bills to big decisions - and chat about the pressure to “have it all together.” We dive into our experiences with parents and support systems, and why being a grown-up can sometimes feel like you’re just winging it solo. Oh, and we also reveal our least favourite jobs around the house and in life admin (prepare to laugh and feel very seen).✨ Connect with Rosie: click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.🌿 Connect with Stacey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠stacey-brown.com

Is it ADHD? Is it anxiety? Or are we just permanently knackered with 46 things on the go? In this one, we chat about being “all or nothing,” the chaos behind the calm, and how getting curious about our patterns (instead of just powering through) can be a total game-changer. No fluff—just real talk, plenty of laughs, and a few lightbulb moments.✨ Connect with Rosie: click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.🌿 Connect with Stacey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠stacey-brown.com

In this episode, we get real about our unique spiritual and religious journeys and how we've found our own ways to connect with the universe (spoiler: it's not all crystals and pendulums). From nature walks to moon-bathing and some seriously quirky rituals, we talk about how spirituality is personal and doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. We also bare it all when it comes to our own religious experiences from Stacey's experience of mormonism to Rosie's life-changing moment that made her question her whole religious belief structure.Trigger Warnings: - Mentions of mental health (anxiety) - Conversations about extreme religion- Mentions of cancer (personal experience)✨ Connect with Rosie: click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.🌿 Connect with Stacey: ⁠⁠⁠stacey-brown.com

Why do women feel so much pressure to look the part—whether it’s in the workplace, as a mum, or just walking out the damn door?

We’re also diving into the ridiculous double standards around aging, the fashion ‘rules’ we’re told to follow (and why they’re bullshit), and the moment we both realised we were done living by other people’s standards.So, when was the last time you left the house without a second thought about your appearance?

It’s in authenticity—not in perfect hair and flawless makeup.✨ Connect with Rosie: click ⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠.🌿 Connect with Stacey: ⁠⁠stacey-brown.com
