Growth In Progress is a podcast where best friends Charlotte & Helli catch up for honest and unfiltered conversations about society, culture and early adulthood. Whether it’s friendship breakups, the reality of quitting a job, maintaining your mental health, figuring out your finances, life not working out how you imagined or just trying to be a better person, knowing where to start can feel uncomfortable and overwhelming. The pressure to get it right is real but there’s comfort in knowing you’re not the only one feeling this way. Tune in each fortnight for an open and honest chat about the realities of early-adulthood and plenty of laughs. Nobody’s perfect, but we are Growth In Progress.

After we've both had wholesome Easter bank holiday weekends, of course we're back with chaos! And this week we're talking about how real self care is not sexy, content-worthy or "aesthetic" like the wellness and self-care we're sold online. Instead self-care is boring, it's effective, it's preventative. But the online aesthetic over-complicates it and creates the pressure to do it "right", rather than doing it genuinely for you. The self-care we're sold online is very privileged and assumes that journalling, meditation, skin care and morning routines are a one-size fits all, without taking into account the unique needs of everyone.
