Picture the scene. You've turned up at a party, but you don't know many people there. As you move around the room you are introduced to other attendees, and you are ready to charm them with small interesting tidbits of information you've curated about yourself. But instead you are introduced like this: " This is [NAME]. She is a [INSERT CAREER HERE]". Sigh. Join Lea & Sam where we’ll be talking about whether our careers define us and how we like to describe ourselves to others. We talk about our own insecurities about how we define what is important in our lives, and whether the jobs we do really are the only interesting things about us. This week we are also joined by Lucy Sheref from Wanderluce who shares her own unique perspective as a blogger, freelance journalist and well, human being.

If you ever get to the end of a long day and feel frazzled, and then continue that right into the night it's fair to say you probably haven't had a brilliant evening. So you've got your mornings straight, but you think you can binge watch TV, stay up late and leave your make up on and still wake up feeling tip top? HELL NO. Honey, that isn't how it works, and deep down you know it too. Join Lea & Sam where we’ll be talking about how to relax into your evening. We talk putting the phones down, bubble baths, sorting your life admin and getting a freaking early night. We also share how bad we are at doing all of these things, and the impact that having busy stressful evenings has on our own lives. Tune in and don’t forget to tell us about your brilliant evening!

So last week we chatted all about ways to relax offline, and to continue the theme of awesome things to do that won't have you glued to your phone, we are covering off the brilliant morning. Can you honestly say that you wake up and have one every day? Us neither. If we haven't dropped cereal down ourselves/had our mascara run, forgotten our keys OR fallen asleep on the commute and missed our stop, it hasn't been a morning we recognise. Join Lea & Sam where we’ll be talking about how we tray (and often fail) to set ourselves up for a brilliant morning. We talk about why mornings are hard, the pressure of the internet in making us believe we have to pack in all the things and share simple feel good tips for getting the day off to a good start. We're not perfect, but we are trying! Tune in and don’t forget to tell us how you do mornings! Whack up the volume and get busy!

If you ever get to the end of a long day and feel frazzled, tired and with a slight headache, you are not alone. Most of us spend huge proportions of our day online for work, whether that is hunched over a keyboard or tap tap tapping things into our phones and tablets. When we get home we switch the TV on and in a zombie-like state wonder why we never quite feel like we are relaxing. We've got a suggestion for that. And it involves unplugging from the matrix and being (shock horror!) offline. Join Lea & Sam where we’ll be talking about how we get off of our screens and why it is important to spend time relaxing offline. We'll be sharing some of our favourite ways to switch off and relax, including bubble baths, reading, walking and colouring in (it really does work), and thinking about how we can better extricate ourselves from our ever-connected world.  Tune in and don’t forget to tell us how you relax offline!

Do you pay attention to trends? Leading on from last week's episode on personal style, we take it one step further and discuss whether paying attention to trends is worthwhile or a waste of time. Whether its fashion cycling through the decades, music trends swinging between indie guitar bands, divas and boy bands and our more recent obsessions with proper coffee and artisan gin we can't deny that trends play a huge part in all our lives. But does following trends lead to happiness or heartache? Join Lea & Sam where we’ll be sharing our favourite (or most memorable trends that we bought into when growing up, and trends that we really don't like now. We'll decide whether we are trend hunters or trend doubters, and we'll dredge up a whole heap of memories about growing up in the most commercialised decades of this century.  Tune in and don’t forget to tell us what you think!

As a woman, and as a normal human being too, the clothes that we wear can take up an inordinate amount of brain power and thought. Not only do you have to contend with the weather, you activity levels during the day and the fit, personal style and branding has become an all too important part of just putting our pants on in the morning. The question is, do you pay it much attention, and do you dress for the person you want to be? Join Lea & Sam where we’ll be talking about our own concept of personal style - how we're navigating or not) body confidence, fashion trends and feeling comfortable in ourselves and where we look for stye inspiration. Listen as we get really personal about our own bodies and clothing confidence and talk about how the idea of style may have left us behind - and how we plan to get it back.

If you're a current student, have recently graduated or like us have been thrust into the post-university sunlight for quite some years now you may be wondering whether the personal and financial slog of higher education was really worth it. Is the shiny piece of paper and picture of you looking innocent and young and carefree in an oversized gown helping you day to day in your career? Was graduating the thing that opened the door for you with your dream job? Or are you smugly motoring on in your career, degree free and not sitting on a pile of debt which would easily cover a deposit on a nice flat somewhere lovely? Join Lea & Sam where we’ll be talking about our experiences of university, the differences in the fee structure then and now, and whether that would change our mind about heading to Uni. We talk about whether our degrees really helped us in our career progression, and discuss whether actually there were broader reasons for getting a degree - for an experience you can't put a price on. This careers and education chat is sure to get you thinking about your own life and career, so tune in and don't forget to tell us what you think! Whack up the volume and get busy!

It's a new dawn, it's a new day it's a new life - or so every blinking bit of media would have you believe the minute the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve. It's not that we don't love an excuse to plan and dream - it's that we hate the pressure of January. Resolutions have been proven (yes, proven) not to work, January is a bastard weather wise anyway and we've relaxed into our Christmas vibe so much that the 1st January feels like running into a brick wall. Repeatedly. Join us on the podcast where we'll be revealing our disdain for all this new year, new me bullshit (we are kind of fans of ourselves, thanks very much), discussing why resolutions are so hard and what we'll be doing instead. We've got intentions, words of the year and if you're up for it - a very sweary start to 2017. We're all about making plans - just give us till February, yeah? Whack up the volume and get busy!

We've got this love-hate relationship with Facebook. We are sure you do too. You see, sometimes it's brilliant. It allows you to communicate with your friends all over the world and keep up with their news even when you are far away. You can invite people to your birthday party in one click. You can see photos and chat in groups and message people without being on text message all the time. But sometimes it is absolute shit. If you are going through a difficult time, seeing the social media lives of those around you can be difficult to swallow. The algorithm means that you can miss out on really important news if you rely and Facebook for your friend updates - and there is also a concern that it is replacing good old fashioned catching up in person. Sometimes, Facebook really sucks. We'll be discussing all this and more on the podcast and asking - will you be making the great Facebook cull? Whack up the volume and get busy!
