We're baaaack!!
So stoked to be back in the studio to release the first episode of 2024. Today, we work through 8 of my 'ins' and discuss why each one is important to bring into your 2024 routine. The list includes no phone in the bedroom (hint: blue light), walking to wake up (hint: circadian rhythm) and space for silence (hint: improved concentration). Can't wait to keep learning with you guys throughout the year! Thanks for being here.

We're baaaaack w/ another bloody good episode. Sean is here to chat all about what he does for his mental health. Sean grew up as a golf kid who graffitied and somehow turned every aspect of that into a career, working as a creative director, graphic designer AND co-host of a golf podcast. Sean opens up about the importance of becoming more vulnerable and his lovely relationship with his Mum (also a wonderful artist). We talk about taking risks and going with your gut and alllll the good stuff we love here at THCYM. A cool story about Schoolboy Q is somewhere in here too. It was so bloody nice to sit down and chat like this with a new mate like Sean. Here's your sign to check in. Hope you enjoy it!

Heyooooo team! What a wonderful episode. Trent is in the studio and when I say he is an absolute DELIGHT the words still don't seem like enough. Trent shares so much today about taking care of his mind through exercise, the importance of recognition, and his self-care Sunday routine. We talk about how overthinking and caring what other people think is damn silly when you really (over)think about it. This genuinely felt like a chat with an old friend. Trent is kind and passionate about life and I can't thank him enough for coming on to share and be vulnerable with us today. Hope you love this like I do!!
