  • #115 Holly Morris - Explaining life with ADHD, being a positive influence and the importance of therapy
    Mar 20 2024

    This one's been a long time coming, stoked to finally get Holly on the pod!

    I first met Holly way back in 2020, since then it's been awesome to watch her on social media explode into the force she is now, providing real talk and a lot of fun to so many people.

    After her being diagnosed with ADHD, she got the answers as to why she often felt so different to others, we delved right into this and why life once diagnosed as neurodivergent can almost seem easier as you can settle into your skin a bit more.

    We touched on the dangers of social media, the juxtaposition of her status as an 'influencer' and trying to showcase real life while being entertaining and playing the game, the dangers of comparison on socials, especially for young women and more.

    Finally, and a big subject for me right now having just restarted it, the benefits of going to therapy and why it's so important to keep doing it, even if you feel like you're getting better.

    An enormously valuable and fun conversation with someone I'm stoked to call a friend, hope you guys enjoy as much as I did!

    FYI, sorry my mic sounds a bit odd, at time of recording I was in my mums attic and using in person setup as my remote mic has done a disappearing act!

  • #114 Georgie Spurling - Why wellness doesn't need to be a privilege and the benefits of habit stacking
    Mar 13 2024

    Great to be joined on the pod this week by Georgie Spurling!

    Georgie is the founder and CEO of Arvra, a wellness app aimed at giving people the tools they need to live a better life, whether it’s physical or mental fitness they’re looking to work on.

    In the episode we got into why wellness can be viewed as something that people with privilege can take advantage of, why Georgie relies on ‘Habit Stacking’, the effect of moving your body on your mental health, why it can sometimes be too much on social media, intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation, nutrition and a whole lot more.

    An extremely valuable conversation with a great ambassador for the wellness movement, some really refreshing takes in here that I hope you can enjoy and take something away from.

    Enjoy!

    Hope you guys enjoy and get something out of it!
