Does it ever feel like the days are flying by, and you can't seem to keep up?

Our Gen Z Luke explores how his year has flown by, but it feels like time has still stretched as he navigates huge changes in his life. But our Gen X Fiona and Gen Y Darsh feel like precious time is disappearing quicker than ever.

In this episode we explore the feeling of time slipping away, why it happens, how it affects each of our generations, and what we do about it, to slow things down (at least mentally).

This conversation explores how each of us view, plan and value our time as we dive into the heart of our relationship with the clock.

Don't let this episode pass you by!

Saying "No" might be one of the hardest and most powerful things we can do.

In a world that constantly demands our time and energy, learning when to set boundaries is essential for our mental health and emotional well-being.

In this episode we explore the art of saying no: how we recognise our limits, why it's ok when we disappoint others, and when refusing certain demands is actually a form of self care.

Tune in for a reminder that sometimes prioritising yourself is the best yes you can give.

This week we explore into the concept of dualism - the idea that life is shaped by opposing forces.

Can you consider yourself a great best friend, yet not have contact with them for months? Can you consider yourself an excellent wife, yet not do any of the traditional roles of a wife. Can you define yourself as an avid reader and lover of books, yet not read any books for a long time? You get our drift.

We explore the beliefs we have about ourselves versus what is the reality, and how these opposing forces impact our identities and choices. Can we embrace both sides of our dualism?

Join us an we unpack the beauty, humour and complexity of living with duality, and how embracing both sides enriches us.

This week we bring together our three generations to reminisce about the Milk Bars (Corner Stores, Delis) that were once a staple of every Aussie neighbourhood.

These beloved stores were the go-to spots for after school snacks, one and two cent lollies, school lunches and impromptu hangouts.

Come join us as we explore the memories, the iconic treats, and the cultural significance of the classic milk bar, while also reflecting on how this has evolved across generations.
