We've all been there, want to change a habit, tried and after so long just gave up! So have you ever wondered how you can build a habit and actually stick to it rather than starting and giving up!?
In this episode we discuss all things habits, what are habits, when you need to change them, how they are formed and how you can build habits that you can easily stick to for the long haul! We also discuss our bad habits and have a bit of laugh about them (Because they are so sabotaging it's funny)
This is part 1 of a 3 part block of episodes on habits. We will be discussing so much more about habits over the next few episodes because there is just so much to say on building habits one episode just isn't enough! So don't forget to follow the podcast so we can let you know when they are released!

In our final episode of our 7 part self care series, we discuss our top tips on how to take care of yourself going forward. Self-care is a process. It requires practice and dedication if you want to make it stick. Don’t get discouraged if it takes time to make this new concept a part of your life. It’ll get easier, and you’ll probably find yourself craving your self-care activities so much you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them. However, there will inevitably be times that are busier or more stressful when self-care may go by the wayside. If you find that happening, be sure to follow these tips to continue to take care of yourself going forward.
We hope you found this 7 part series of self care helpful, please take part in our challenge this week and let us know what you find is helpful to you, when it comes to practising self care.

We’ve previously talked about what self care is and why it’s important to practice it. In this episode we discuss a few potential ideas that you can to do to keep things interesting when it comes to caring for yourself.
One way is to treat yourself to things you’ve always wanted to do. Adding new and novel experiences to your self-care routine is like giving yourself a little gift every day. It’s a great way to stay motivated and to feel better about yourself.
We also discuss what we like and don’t like, self care is always going to be individual to you but it’s also important to try new things and push yourself out of your comfort zone. Something, we’ve found Sparky probably really needs to do more often too!
Happy listening.

This week we're talking about how to manage your money better so you can get yourself into a better financial situation!
We've both been there in the past, living pay check to pay check, and it's a very stressful way of living! Not only can money worries take a toll on you're mental health, they can be the source of disagreements with family, partners and friends and can cause immense pressure and strain on relationships!
So we're going to give you several tips, that you can start doing from today to help you manage your finances more effectively
The Science Section
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1741-3729.2012.00715.x

In this study, both husbands and wives were asked, separately, about how often they disagreed with their spouse over chores, in-laws, spending time together, sex and money. These same respondents were then contacted again several years later, in 1992, and asked if they were still married.

Financial disagreements were the biggest predictor for divorce. Interestingly financial well being was not a factor in divorce suggesting your financial status doesn’t affect your relationship, but your partners alignment with it does.

This weeks episode was inspired by a TikTok video we saw. So we thought we'd jump on the mic to discuss some more hyer-fixations and share examples of how we are clearly driven by a motor and easily distracted. You may find some of these examples resonate with you alot if you have ADHD.
