  • 38: Hannah's Personal Dance With Anxious Thoughts
    Mar 31 2025

    Anxiety, what does it mean to you? Have you personally suffered from its crippling grip at times? Do you know someone who experiences it? Perhaps a friend, a parent, a sibling, a loved one. Does it show up when you least expect it, and how do you manage it?

    In this episode we do a deep dive into Hannah's lived experience with anxious thoughts, including:

    • when it began and how it looks and feels for her
    • how she finally recognised what the feelings were
    • Hannah reading a diary entry, sharing the real, raw and honest truths that she feels when anxious thoughts are heightened
    • what she needs from others when feeling this way
    • phrases that are super helpful
    • the style of exercise that aids in minimising the feelings (and what exacerbates it!)
    • how it affects our friendship
    • Rach's experience with anxiety
    • why teaching as a profession fit well in managing anxious thoughts for Hannah.

    We mention Ready or Not Podcast in this episode, specifically:

    Big Highs, Big Lows, Big News EPISODE

    And, Claire Bowditch, and her incredible book Your Own Kind Of Girl about managing her demonising thoughts.

  • 37: SOLO | She said ‘I do’
    Mar 24 2025

    C'mon, admit it, who doesn't love a wedding? Yes the logistics can be alot, yes they can be expensive as the host AND as the guest, but who doesn't love LOVE!

    In this episode we keep the SOLO episode fun, alive and kicking with a journey back in time to Rach and John's wedding day on the 21st of April 2018.

    We hear about:

    • Rach & Han's hot minutes
    • Rach's wedding being the best day of her life
    • the amazing photographers
    • the fun job Hannah was assigned in the setup of the wedding day
    • snippets of Rach's vows and Hannah's speech
    • how it felt to walk back into the reception surrounded by all of your loved ones
    • the honeymoon.

    Wedding days are fun, they're alot of work, preparation and time, however, perhaps that's how they should be, as they are marking something pretty remarkable. Love SHOULD be celebrated and the time should be taken to remember such a special moment in a couples life when they commit to each other, forever.

    Should you be planning a wedding and hunting for a photographer and videographer team (and married themselves), look no further than:

    Be Here Be Now Photographers (incredible humans!)

  • 36: Han's Foolproof Method When Making A Big Decision
    Mar 17 2025

    Ok, so picture this, you have a big decision coming up, how do you come to the conlusion you need? Do you make a list, chat with friends, not sleep, procrastinate? How do you make your decision?

    Well Hotties, let us save you the termoil, Han has made a new helpful discovery and has all the answers to help us on our way.

    In this chat we dicusss:

    • Han's impression of herself that she isn't good at decision making (Rach feels differently)
    • Rach's process - involves a good review or 12
    • the method Hannah's psych gave her when trying to make a big decision
    • Hannah's love for a pros and cons list
    • situations that could have been easier by using this method
    • the fact that perhaps life already has a path for us
    • leaning into your gut, trusting in that feeling.

    Hotties, let us know if this theory helps you in your next big (or small) decision!

    And, please, if you haven't already, follow, rate and review our show. We are excited to get into more ears and hearts and this really helps.

  • 34: How Do You Find Your Suburb? Where Do I Belong?
    Mar 3 2025

    Tell us, Hotties, have you ever deliberated over where to live? Perhaps you questioned if moving out of your comfort zone is an option, moving away from or closer to family? Have you settled for living where your significant other wants to be based, but perhaps your hearts not in it?

    Well, in this episode we delve into all the in's and out's and feelings associated with buying, selling and finding your home.

    We discuss:

    • Hannah's feelings whilst we record for the last time in her Port Melbourne home
    • what is it about a house that makes it feel like a home
    • do we always remember things with rose tinted glasses?
    • how to decide on a suburb when you and your partner have come from differing areas
    • the burnout associated with big decisions, and in this case, moving house

    Overall, it's a cathartic chat reminisicing about Han's learnings, her future hopes and dreams for a home and space and how far she's come.

    We move into a home being one person. With time, space and energy that passes between living in this home and moving it is always a journey. It's normal to change, evolve and to want more.

    Please, if you haven't already, follow, rate and review our show. We are excited to get into more ears and hearts and this really helps.
