Podcasts about self renovators

Caroline Mabey and Taylor Glenn are friends and comedians, trying to keep an open mind when it comes to self improvement. So in each episode of their podcast 'Self Renovators', they test out some of the self help techniques claimed to help you lead a better, happier, more productive life. For a week they'll try out say breathing exercises, a digital detox, or even a gruelling regime of cold showers, and report back on whether it's helped them, what the science says, and if they're going to adopt the method, adapt it, or ditch it altogether. Here they're trying out a productivity tool called a bullet journal: if you Google it you'll see it's become a bit of a thing since it was invented by a Brooklyn designer called Ryder Carroll a few years back. It's a bit like a good old written to-do list; just far prettier, and a lot more complicated! [Episode 21 of the Self Renovators podcast is called 'Bite The Bullet Journal' and is hosted by Caroline Mabey and Taylor Glenn].

Caroline and Taylor decided to channel some old school self help with a mirror affirmation challenge. And what a challenge it was - turns out facing yourself to say nice things instead of removing facial hair wasn't as easy as the Self Renovators anticipated. Did it help or just create a vampiric phobia of their own reflections? Have a listen!

BANG! Caroline forces Taylor down a Bullet Journal rabbit hole with the promise of increased productivity. Did creator Ryder Carroll's trendy daily planner system help the Self Renovators, or were they just stuck doodling?
