This week we chat with author and relationship expert, Natalie Lue. Natalie sparked all kinds of epiphanies during our talk as we explored self-care, or lack there of in relationships — romantic or otherwise. From “nice guys” to “good partners don’t fight” — we broke down our favourite and outrageous relationship offenders. Trust us, you’re not going to want to miss this one.

Today Mary & Mallika discuss the need for a break and the importance of listening to your body before burnout. You know that feeling when you reach the point where you’re physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted due to prolonged and excessive stress at work? Ya, that leads you to burnout. You start to malfunction in your daily life, work less and become unproductive. Nobody willingly burns themselves out. We all want a productive and stress-free work life so we remain our best selves for the rest of life. In this episode we discusses why taking breaks daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly is crucial to rejuvenating our body and rewiring our minds.

Does self-care mean only essentials? This week we tally up our cost benefit analysis of self-care and make some startling discoveries. Are we so hyper focused on the marketing mold that is “self-care” that we’re discounting so many other things that fill our cup. Spoiler alert: *yes*.

This week we’re adding it all up! Time, money, energy — how much are we actually spending on self care daily? Mallika and Mary make their predictions based on time, money and even location. Like the cost for personal self-care in Costa Rica is drastically different than LA — which adds up to drastically different self care wants versus needs. We’re hoping that this can be an eye opening discovery into what kind of care we think we’re allot for ourselves versus the factual numbers. This is the kind of math we’re on board for. Add with us!

Besides being featured by huge names like Elle, Vogue, GQ etc. he and his husband have built up a (very busy) life based on trust, personal growth and boundaries. We talk about the necessity of self-care in a relationship, the accessibility of services to men and the ways in which to prioritize yourself constantly and unconditionally.

While the urge to shelter is strong (fall vibes) — Mary and Mallika have put the whole "fresh air" hypothesis to the test. And this week we talk about our findings, both personal and scientific. From circadian rhythms, to dressing the part, to 1km long driveways — we chat up a storm (pun intended) on the benefits of going outside every single. damn. day.

Say hello to our first guest of season 2! This week Dr Linda Carlson chats with us about her work in oncology and psychosocial interventions. A clinical psychologist and professor, Linda has some damn impressive research on the link between mindfulness and cancer. We dive into her research and how it has not only affected patients, but her own life as well. Linda’s academic expertise and personal reflection really had us hanging on every word. This chat was a much needed perspective shift that gave so much meaning to quality over quantity.
