In this episode, we chat about being in our "Gratitude-era", Charity's brand new pink IPhone and the transformative power of perspective. Small joys, beautiful moments, and the ability to find happiness amidst life's trials. We talk about the complexities of single-hood, loving it, hating it and the pressure to 'fix' ourselves before being considered worthy of it.
Diving further into gratitude; we talk about how out of touch billionaires, like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Kim Kardashian; and ask whether their wealth truly brings them contentment, and fulfillment.
Lastly, we take you beyond the glossy facade of "representation" and why we will no longer be applauding fish for swimming. From the messaging in the barbie movie, the controversial Victoria's Secret show and the body shaming that permeates our society as plus sized women to performative DEI initiatives that do more harm at work.
