A discussion about ice hockey was not on our 2025 podcast bingo card, but we like to keep you (and ourselves) guessing!

This week we’re chatting about the phrase “you’re not like other girls”. This phrase feels like it was normalised in 90s rom-coms and was always the “ultimate compliment” from a guy. We both get a big ick from this phrase for many reasons, why shouldn’t we be like other girls? and how does this backhanded compliment double as a patriarchal means of controlling women? Also, why do you never hear “you’re not like other boys”? We’re dissecting it all and we’d love to hear your thoughts too.

A little more success please, if it isn’t too greedy? 31:17

منذ يومين31:17

31:17

Oh we’re getting deep into it this week discussing success, is there such a thing as *too much* success and is it greedy to ask for more when you already have so much? We live in an always-on society where striving for more seems to be the default. Where we always want to seek more the next big thing, but in doing so, are we being a bit greedy? Should we just be happy with what we have? Did someone say Substack? Click here to subscribe to our ✨brand new✨ Substack (we’ve got a free and a paid version so everyone can join!).

Not everything has to be that deep 38:05

منذ 9 أيام38:05

38:05

Charlotte has a new heated blanket and is getting ready to go to Stockholm, Helli is in the depths of house hunting and apologies for her muffled audio, her mic plug broke right before recording… We’ve got a juicy chat at the start of the episode about the dangers of what you share about your life online and how trends are mimicking history and the problems with idolising a part of history that you weren’t part of. And of course we recognise the irony of our topic this week… but as two humanities students who love to analyse (and over-analyse!), however have we as a society gone too far with trying to find a deeper meaning in everything? Social media has made it easy to over-intellectualise everything from politics to pop culture and while the skills of analysis and being able to vocalise our opinions are important, maybe “being deep” has become performative because of that. Things are allowed to be fun, silly and entertaining, there is value in lightheartedness and maybe we just don’t need to have an opinion on absolutely everything.

Why are we so obsessed with role models? 34:39

منذ 16 يومًا34:39

34:39

Helli’s been ill for the third time this year (thanks, 2025) and Charlotte has thrown her back out, BUT we’re here! This week we’re wondering, why are we obsessed with labelling people are role models and policing how people behave because we think they’re a role model? Really, anyone can be a role model online these days, so is being a role model even an accolade anymore? Or are we holding people to an impossible standard? Did someone say Substack?

Big, bad things & small, quiet joys 35:09

No. Stones. Left unturned. In this episode we have not one, but two honeymoon recaps, a first glance at the reading lists we managed to get through on said honeymoons, a must-read Substack (that isn’t our own) and a documentary we can’t stop thinking about. And then we’re asking the big question of WHY are the bad things so noisy while the good things happen so quietly? Is it actually a bad thing that we give more air time to the bad? Or is there already enough negativity out there? Did someone say Substack? Click here to subscribe to our ✨brand new✨ Substack (we’ve got a free and a paid version so everyone can join!).

Why You Should Set Creative Goals 30:48

منذ 4 weeks30:48

30:48

Helli is a sickly Victorian child this week and Charlotte has her life together with new nails. Prepare yourself for a very in depth chat about Charlotte’s stringent Goodreads rating process and Helli’s meta take on reviewing books throughout life. It’s February, maybe you’re struggling with your New Year goals or maybe you never made any, either way we feel like setting some creative goals rather than metrics-based goals is a great way to find more joy and authenticity in your life and to redefine what an achievement is. Yes, hitting sales targets or income goals is great, but not every goal has to be so black or white or come with so much stress/pressure. Trying something new, getting outside your comfort zone, making something imperfectly, enjoying yourself even if you’re not perfect at something, doing something in your community, these are all achievements, maybe it’s time we re-defined what goals and achievements look like.

How We Feel About “Brain Rot” Content 34:40

منذ 5 weeks34:40

34:40

Charlotte reveals which celebrities she gets mixed up and we’re both surprised to learn how literal the direct translation of the names are in Lion King… Plus who is the internet obsessed with right now. So all this feels very fitting that we’re talking about brain rot content. Oxford English Dictionary named “brain rot” their word of the year for 2024, but what does it mean? What is brain rot content? How do we classify it and is it different for everyone? Is it fundamentally bad? And how much does our intention behind our content consumption decide whether or not it’s brain rot? Sometimes we find the low quality content or easy-to-consume content entertaining and it serves as escapism, but if that’s the dominant content we consume, how healthy is that for us?

Everything on our to not do lists this year 31:44

We’re back and boy are we feeling REFRESHED. It could be the 5 weeks off, it could be that crisp New Year feeling or it could be our brand new look, music and Substack (!). Whatever combination it is, we’re thrilled to be back bringing you more unfiltered, honest conversations about society, culture and early adulthood. It’s no secret we love a to do list, but this year we’re looking at our “To NOT Do List”. The behaviours we want to change, the little things we want to stop doing and what we’re making more space for (or as the Wicked-fans say, “holding space” for). Did someone say Substack?

Charlotte has no hot water, Helli has injured her neck, it’s been a week of annoyances, made more stressful as we approach the busy end of the year. If the end of the year is starting to feel hectic and like you’re in a hamster wheel, you’re not alone!

Anyone else feeling Christmassy early this year? We’re chatting birthday parties, netball, rubbish Christmas movies and how we’re feeling in the run up to December as well as two new recommendations this week. We’ve all heard of overthinking and know what it is and the self-doubt and feelings of comparison that come with it, but what about the wider impact on your overall happiness and enjoyment of the moment? Does overthinking how you appear to others take away your authenticity? In a world where authenticity and relatability have become marketable – how to do you show up authentically in a way that feels true to you?

What’s the difference between being selfish and simply focusing on yourself and your own goals? And why does prioritising yourself often get branded as being selfish, or at least feel like you’re being selfish? Well that’s what we’re trying to get to the bottom of in this weeks episode.

224: Why Sometimes You Need To Slow Down

—

The irony of this week’s topic isn’t wasted on anyone, trust us. Between Helli spending just 4 days of October in the country and Charlotte being knee-deep in everything wedding (yes, she knows this is at risk of becoming her entire personality), we have not been slowing down. After a couple of recommendations and catching up on life lately, we’re discussing why sometimes slowing down is the best way to actually achieve your goals faster and in a more efficient way.

223: Urgency Culture 29:49

منذ 19 weeks29:49

29:49

Helli is back from Scotland and Charlotte has officially given notice! We have a chat about True Crime and whether the genre as a form of entertainment has crossed a line into excessive depictions of abuse and violence to serve a fascination with the perverse, rather than as a deterrent for behaviour like this. This week we’re chatting about the topic of urgency culture, we are so used to having everything we need at our fingertips from Amazon Prime delivery to Uber Eats and multiple streaming services to choose from – has this given us unrealistic expectations of ourselves and others? We’ve normalised expecting instant results so how does this impact our mental health and skills like patience and resilience. We’ve grown up glamourising productivity, girlbossing, multitasking, click to tidy videos and Sunday resets that happen in 20 seconds – the reality is that this takes hours. Urgency Culture has become normal culture but it creates a perceived pressure that is unsustainable, unrealistic and can ultimately lead to burnout.
