We also discuss the importance of recognising that real social change has to stem from sustainable energy in order for us to progress long term. This is a 'movement not a moment'.

Thanks so much for tuning into series two of On The Outskirts - we hope you're all doing okay out there & we hope this first episode acts as a little bit of comfort this week...
There’s no doubt that 2020 has felt particularly heavy. With this in mind, we have really been thinking about how we can utilise our platforms in a more balanced and resourceful way. Whilst our jobs are primarily about offering up content that provides escapism - we also feel a moral duty to speak up and use our privilege for the greater good. We know this is just a very small step in the right direction, but each episode of this season, we would like to dedicate the last ten minutes to a charity/cause that we feel passionately about.
In light of the recent death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests across America and the rest of the world - we want to start the series off by paying respect to this and providing some useful resources in the show notes below. It’s not enough just to provide lighthearted escapism on social media at when there’s so much corruption and injustice in the world. We can’t look away or stay silent when it comes to racism - we must commit to the lifelong work that comes with being actively anti-racist. Black lives have always mattered and I think it’s important to note that anti racism is not some sort of checklist that we get to tick off. It’s a practice we have to enforce every single day so that it becomes second nature. It’s not just how we present ourselves online, it’s conversations in real life and with strangers. It’s the books on our shelves and speaking up even when it feels uncomfortable. Black lives matter way more than anxious thoughts and complacency.
Some charities to donate to (if you're financially able)

We made it to the end of series one guys! A massive thank you to each and every one of you for listening along and being so supportive over the last few months - we can't wait to come back bigger and better with series two!

We appreciate you all and we really hope this podcast has helped you feel less 'On The Outskirts' in some way...

This week we catch up ahead of Sophia heading to The Big Apple! We ramble about our recent cinema trips before getting tucked into this episode's meaty topic. Instagram are potentially getting rid of their likes feature - how will this affect small businesses and is it really all in the aid of improving mental health? How much do online careers rely on social media validation, and where do we picture ourselves in the future of it all? It’s a big one!

This episode we have a big old catch up after over a month apart! We chat about a scorcher of a Glastonbury, the art of sensible footwear and gush about new Stranger Things. We then get stuck into this weeks topic: navigating the social season and the millennial pressures to be here, there, and everywhere. We discuss the importance of constructing a social life that works for the individual, whilst also giving ourselves that much needed push when it counts the most!

Another Episode and another meaty topic to sink our teeth into. This episode we discuss women’s health in the boarder sense of the word because there’s just so much we wanted to mention and highlight realistically we couldn’t possibly fit it all into one show. This is a subject which is not only close to both our hearts, but one we strongly feel needs talking about more openly in order to breakdown any barriers which can often make women feel alienated and self conscious. We hope to revisit this subject again in the near future detailing much more specific topics but for now we truly hope you enjoy and possibly relate to this episode as a starting point.

In this episode we chat about a friend's wedding, the arrival of Rocket Man, and TV shows we're addicted to! We then tackle this week's meaty topic: women in the spotlight. We delve into role models both past and present, and examine what it means to be a woman in the grand old era of 2019. Whether it's on the big screen or our phone screens - we are always looking for women who shake up the rules and help redefine how women are viewed by the world. The media is such a powerful tool, but we strongly believe it's nothing without the women who help steer it in a more accepting direction.

Welcome to episode 3 of On The Outskirts! We start this episode with a big chit chat about what we've been up to, exciting new ventures, what we've been watching and most importantly the perils of having a fringe. We've received such amazing feedback and a heck of a lot of questions around our friendship and so we thought this would be a really lovely, up lifting topic to discuss. Friendship is a wonderful thing- it's your support network, it makes you the person you are and it has such a huge impact on your mental health and well being. It's important so let's show it some love. Enjoy!

Welcome back to On The Outskirts! In this episode we have a good old catch up before getting stuck into a discussion on body image. We really hope some of you can relate to our own feelings surrounding body image, and that this episode leaves you feeling uplifted.
