... And shopping and doing No Buy or Low Buy Years.
NOTE: I (Sofie) refer to Aja Barber as Aja Barker - a very rude mistake from my end, I apologise profusely! Also I just learned that I also mispronounced her first name. I'm so so so sorry.

Do you spend too much time on your phone? And would you like to spend LESS time on your phone? Well, this is the episode for you. Abby has a problem and Sofie might also have a problem, if she'd be up for admitting to it. Abby has read Cal Newport's book on Digital Minimalism and is up for the challenge.

Oh, it's a Big One. It's finally here. The Artist's Way, read and presented by Abby, who has read it five times and who lives it on a daily basis.

A little teaser of our brand new Patreon SPECIAL bonus episode. Sofie has watched Couples Therapy, but first, we get into talking about the apocalypse again. Also, Abby sings. Does she sing well? Time will tell. Listen on Patreon now.

We dive into Kae Tempest's On Connection - a book about connections and the magic that happens when connection happens and other stuff to do with connection. (Sofie writes these blurbs and there is a chance Sofie didn't fully understand what the book was about.) We also discuss weddings and creativity. It's fun.

It's another little teaser. On Patreon, you can find the full episode (and you can watch the episode too, on video!), where, still at Sofie's place, Abby and Sofie go over some of the inspirational quotes Sofie has saved in her phone. But Abby struggles to get over the fact that Sofie owes her money. It's a very inspirational episode.

In this SPECIAL EPISODE (of which you only get a little teaser) recorded in the SAME ROOM (which you can also see as a video on Patreon!), we discuss stand-up, Nicolas Cage (or should we say... Nicolas Coppola) and trains and more stuff.
Sign up on Patreon for the full episode and loads more goodies here.

Sofie read Women Who Love Too Much by Robin Norwood when she was 19 and it changed her life. Will it have the same effect now? Does Abby love too little, enough or too much? Also, a post-recording correction: Akon did the lovely song 'Lonely', not the other lovely song 'F**k it' - that belonged to Eamon. Get your 00s music facts straight, Sofie Hagen. Also this is a special episode because it's been edited by Sofie Hagen. So if it sounds a little different, that's why. Sofie did her very best. This text has also been written by Sofie Hagen.
**Also, just a note to say, that as we are recording this episode, we are in summer 2024, which for comedians like Sofie and Abby, means the Edinburgh Fringe!
So, this means we'll be releasing one main episode a month during June, July and August and back to the full quota of two main episodes in September.
If you think you'll miss your double hit, then why not sign up to our Patreon for three more bonus eps a month AND a seriously great backlog of extra content.

What do you want to do with what's left of your 4000 weeks?
Well, you can spend only a fraction of that time listening to this frankly, brilliantly informative and entertaining episode of Help Hole, where Abby and Sofie explore how Four Thousand Weeks, Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.
Not only will you see how to make the time you have count, if you never thought Rod Stewart had some sage advice about how to use spare hours effectively, then you're in for a real surprise.**Also, just a note to say, that as we are recording this episode, we are in summer 2024, which for comedians like Sofie and Abby, means the Edinburgh Fringe!

What's the after effect of almost being hit by a car? Do you fight, fight or freeze and what does each of these mean?
Well luckily for us, Sofie has read 'the Body Keeps the Score' by Bessel van der Kolk and can tell us everything we need to know about how the body processes trauma and why it can manifest for years after the event.Main source:

This episode of Help Hole feels close to home in more ways than one, as not only are our hosts in the very same room for the chat, but the book they are talking about, is written by none other than Sofie Hagen!
Will I Ever Have Sex Again, by Sofie Hagen is an exploration of the modern sexual landscape and how it impacts not just on the author, but society as a whole- even Abby...although mostly on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Todays episode will lift your spirits for a number of reasons, firstly our hosts crossed oceans in order to record in person AND they're in Denmark, home of Hygge - so it feelt only right that the book they delve into should be Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking.
As well as exploring why Hygge can only be achieved if there are adequate bins in the street, they also explore their feelings after a visit to Copenhagen's Happiness Museum, a stirring experience in many ways.Main source:
