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.

We're mixing heavy recommendations with a sprinkle of lighter ones this week, and we're chatting all about Soft Life...
The Soft Life Aesthetic is supposed to be the antidote to Hustle Culture, the idea is to have more self-compassion, more intentionality, slow mornings and effortless routines. But the very nature of this curated trend means there is a lot of hypocrisy and privilege in what the soft life aesthetic stands for and the nature of creating content online means it is far from effortless. But there are some fundamentals of this trend that are important and speak to a wider craving of our generation for a more gentle, slower and compassionate lifestyle.
