Same Here, Me Too

It's next to impossible to walk down the street and not see someone who hasn't got a piercing, tattoo or some sort of body modification. Over the last decade, there has been an influx of TV shows around tattoo artistry which has eliminated the stigma tattoos once held. This has led to an acceptance into the social norm, resulting in more people getting piercing and tattoos. But, is it becoming more popular because it's allowing people to express their own personalities through their bodies? In this weeks episode, we explore the world of body art and how we are using our bodies to express our personalities and identities.

Naomi is one ride away from hitting 200 rides at inspire cycle. To some it may not seem like much, to others it may sound like an exorbitant, unattainable amount - to Naomi, it's far more than a number. Join us this week as Naomi shares her journey with inspire cycle over the past few years, what she has learnt from it and how what she has learnt has impacted every other area of her life.

Trends come in as quickly as they go out, replaced by the next one of the season. However, there does seem to be one trend that has stood the test of time and appears to be here for the long run... Vegetarianism. Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, flexitarian no matter where you look there seems to be a new form of diet that people are using to define themselves. With many people replacing foods with plant-based alternatives, are we truly becoming more aware of what we eat and how it impacts the environment or are the majority simply jumping on the new “trend”? With Kora being a vegetarian her whole life, it's a daily discussion she has with many people. Join us this week as we discuss the rise of the veggie-based diet and whether it is becoming the new social norm or whether it's just another fad?

April 9, 2021 Taylor Swift dropped Fearless (Taylor's Version). For many of us it was an opportunity to re listen to all of those tracks we knew and loved as young girls. An opportunity to sing along at the top of our lungs, reminisce on old memories and experience the album as adults. We don't know about you, but for both of us it was quite the eye opening experience. Join us this week as we reflect on how far we've come since being those young teenage girls singing along to Taylor Swift, the clarity we've gained, the shocks, the surprises and the revelation we had about Taylor's journey and this album being a metaphor for life and growing up.

This week it's all about your body and how in many ways it's basically a car. Hear us out!

Whether it be hormonal or non-hormonal, at some point the majority of us ('us' being the female species) will use some form of birth control. Whether it come in the form of a pill, a condom, a coil or an implant, at some stage we'll sit down with our doctor and discuss our options, hoping to make a decision on what is going to work best for our own bodies. Join us this week as we share our own experiences surrounding birth control, what those experiences have allowed us to learn about ourselves and our stance on the importance of taking charge of our bodies and our health. [Trigger Warning: This episode contains content surrounding birth control, pregnancy, miscarriage, mental health and suicide which may be triggering for some.

So your best friend has a new boyfriend/girlfriend/partner, you've finally met their new boo and it's debriefing time. Glass of wine/gin/assorted alcohol beverage in hand and your BFF goes...

Women love to go clothes shopping. Buying a new outfit can be so enjoyable, trying on the latest trends and seeing what makes you look and feel good. That's the theory, right? This week we explore reality and does it actually live up to the hype. We talk about the fear that some women have when going into a shop and trying on clothes. The majority are terrified that the way they think they look will not hold true. Women will then start self-criticising their own bodies and their appearance. Now with a combination of bad lighting, distorted mirrors and every store having a different interpretation of what a size 10 is, it's actually a surprise we want to buy new clothes at all. Take a listen to some of our experience and advice on how to overcome the fear of the changing rooms and minimise the feeling of self-doubt and self-criticism.

We all have those fears of being alone and feeling lonely right? Well, have you ever considered that you can be alone and not feel lonely? In this weeks episode, Kora is flying solo, taking you on her journey of self-discovery. Walking you through what her challenges and fears have been. How she has overcome them and found her self respect, self-love, self-esteem and most importantly her self worth. That, in the absence of a relationship and being single for the first time in over 6 years, she has learnt that just because you are alone, does not necessarily mean you have to be lonely.

The term "Self Care" has become wildly popularised over the past few years. There's a high chance you're exposed to images of Spa Days, Massages, Yoga Retreats & Getaways on the regular and let's be honest, your favourite influencers are talking about it on social media. But why is it so important? Join us this week as we explore what self care means to us, how it has impacted us and how it can be one of the biggest game changers when it comes to happiness in every day life. We discuss the different forms it can take, our favourite ways to perform self care (even when on a budget) and share our opinion on whether it's a luxury or a necessity.

Ever wondered what it is that we spend our time doing when we're not working on our podcast? Or how on earth two women passionate about the Arts ended up working in Marketing?

Sometimes life gets hectic, busy and just flat out mental, especially when you're navigating your 20s, building a career and juggling the day to day. So when you're in the depths of a crazy work vortex, the last thing you want to hear is "You work too much!" As self-acclaimed workaholics, we decided to challenge the negative feeling that often surrounds the concept of being a “workaholic”. As women who both have an incredibly strong work ethic, we wanted to put our own positive spin on the “workaholic” notion and challenge the beliefs that seem to go with it. In this week's episode we talk all things workaholic, what it means to be one and share the tips that help us both keep that work-life balance while still giving us the space and time to create the life we want.

Can you change a tyre? Many young women today would answer no. Now, this isn't because we are incapable, we are most certainly capable! It's just no one ever taught us, and many don't seem to have the desire to learn. In this weeks episode we talk to you about all things cars. Don't be scared! We haven't become engine heads! We don't talk to you about the beauty of a Ford Ranger or how sexy a turbo charged engine sounds (even though it does). No, no... instead we talk about cars in relation to women and why most women's knowledge, when it comes to cars, is pretty low. Have we as women been led to believe that we don't need to know about cars because there will always be a man around? Listen in as we put the whole "women & cars" topic up for discussion, share some interesting thoughts, and of course tell a few of our own embarrassing stories when it comes to us and cars.

This week get to know us a bit better as we take on our very first QnA episode, get real about what's been going on behind the scenes with a longer check in and share an important reminder on simply being human.

It's a New Year and I'm sure people have already starting asking you that question... “What's your New Year's Resolution?” But have you ever found the difficult thing isn't creating the resolution... it's sticking to it that proves to be the tricky part? Well instead of creating a "resolution" why not create a Goal? In this weeks episode we take on the discussion of "New Year's Resolution vs Goals" and why we believe one is better than the other. We even help you set up your 2021 for success, taking you through simple steps that will not only help you create a goal and maintain it throughout the year, but also achieve it. Tune in and find out how you can bring your goals to life, making 2021 (yes, we have to say it)... you're best year yet!

Christmas is a joyful time of year filled with tradition. Whether you are spending it with family or friends playing games, eating food or giving presents there is always something to look forward too. But for many it can also be a stressful time of year, with countless expectations that we feel others put on us or we put on ourselves. Join us this week as we talk about what these expectations mean, how we have both embraced and overcome them, and how doing this has allowed us to truly enjoy Christmas for what it is - a time of joy, peace and happiness.
