Welcome back to This Will Get Messy.
Mars has some much needed days off work after a grand total of about a month at her new gig (the resilience is shining), whilst people in her life are worried she is going to go rogue again. Roberto has learned how to make osso buco and Colombian coconut rice at home but not without slicing off the tip of his finger.
Today, Roberto is feeling philosophical and your hosts are talking about all things time. Tune into this episode as your hosts discuss the tradeoff of time and energy for money, battling regrets, the Netflix show One Day, the neutral periods of life, realistic goal setting, dedicating time to things that bring you daily happiness, and knowing how to spend solo time.

Adulthood: Can we stop adulting so hard?

Welcome back to This Will Get Messy.
Roberto’s accent has become so blended from living abroad that people in Caracas don’t believe he’s from there. Meanwhile, Mars almost arrives to her holiday in the boot of a car and doesn’t sleep for over 36 hours amidst flight delays coming back from her weekend getaway. She’s officially sworn off of Stansted airport.
As a teen, Mars used to think the twenty year olds had it all figured out. How wrong she was. Today, the conversation revolves around what adulthood meant as a kid, the impostor syndrome many of us feel as adults, and the realisation that defining your own path is what adulthood really means. Tune into this episode if you’ve ever felt like you know nothing and are just figuring it out as you go, because your hosts are right there with you. Here’s to being human first and making it through without a f***ing clue.

Self-Worth: Why is our worth so tied to productivity and money?

Welcome back to This Will Get Messy.
Roberto is readjusting to manual driving back home whilst Mars reminisces about driving in Jeju Korea, but mostly they’re just celebrating that their podcast baby has officially gone live!
Today Mars is centring the conversation around the way we’ve been socialised to tie our sense of worth to productivity and making money. We’ve all procrastinated and know how crap it can feel. Tune in as your hosts talk feeling good when busy and bad when idle, hustle culture, investing in yourself and time off, and defining your own success to emancipate from the demands of productivity.
