Breaking down wellness and how to achieve balance between the different areas in your life.

Love languages is a topic I for one am very intrigued by! In this episode I take the infamous love languages test to rank the 5 love languages; physical touch, acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation and gift-giving. I then breakdown what this means for me in my life. I recommend taking the quiz yourself!

At the start of 2023, one of my favourite podcasts Already Friends (I recommend!) published their '8 Dimensions of Wellness' series. I was inspired by the Already Friends podcast to reflect on the different areas of my life that add up to my overall wellness. My intellectual, financial, physical, social, emotional, environmental, occupational and spiritual wellness. I discuss how I divide my time to make sure I prioritise each area and achieve an overall balance in my life.

In this episode I go through the popular '36 questions to fall in love'... I mean I don't want to make you all fall in love with me, but I thought it would be fun to go through these deep questions and you can get to know me better and think about your own answers as well as ask your friends or a partner some of these questions. Here's to being honest and open even when it's scary!

As a natural pessimist, it is important for me to look for the small moments in life which spark joy. This can be anything from a sunset to a good book, and I suggest many more examples in this episode. Let's change our mindset and look for positivity and magic in the everyday and romanticise an ordinary life.

I've been thinking a lot about being in my 20s and how it makes me feel. The pressures and stereotypes can weigh you down but I want to provide you with some reassurance that it's all normal. You're not alone! Comparison is the thief of joy but it doesn't have to win.
