Listen Now

We're here, at the end of 2020 (good riddance) and the end of Basically Being Better Season 3. Thank you so much for everyone who has listened in and laughed along with us. We have a blast sitting down and chatting, and love that there are people out there who enjoy listening to it. You're the real M.V.P! 

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, and is a health condition the needs more awareness and support. We welcome back Daina Crosbie (of Finding Your Beauty) to talk with us about her experiences living with Endometriosis. She is informative, inspiring and a real joy to talk with, so we are very lucky to grab her for a second time on the podcast.

TED Talks are a great source of information, motivation and inspiration. This week the girls each watched watch a few TED Talks each, and reported back anything interesting or thought-provoking. Rachel also asks a brilliant quick question that involves cheese...

Fertility chat always gets us excited, and this week is no exception. Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler is, simply put, a remarkable book, which is referenced in so many other places. It's an amazing source of information, a handy guide and even a sexy 'playbook' to get the most out of your time in the bedroom... Join us as we giggle our way through our favourite topic!

What's the theme this week? How about we just have a little Chatty Chat. The girls do a few segments, which lead to a few laughs, and just a general chinwag. Join us for a relaxing week.

The Netflix special, "The Social Dilemma" is scary... The girls discuss the documentary, and talk in depth about their own thoughts, feelings and struggles with social media. It's a big topic, and worth the discussion. Enjoy.

The girls have a little chatty-chat about two amazing speakers they were lucky enough to hear share their wisdom in regards to well-being and resilience. This episode is just a little snip-it of the points that really resonated with them after listening to the wonderful Dr Lucy Hone and the brilliant Lance Burdett.

The second half of our amazing chat with Caitlin, discussing her experiences going through IVF and the birth of her son. We can't thank Caitlin enough for being so open and detailed with her whole (exhausting) endeavor for us and the listeners. Don't miss part 2.

Part 1 of 2, of our awesome interview with podcast guest Caitlin, discussing her experiences going through IVF (In vitro fertilization). It's definitely a subject that isn't talked about enough, and we are so lucky to have Caitlin share with us what the process was like for her and her husband. Also, a little bonus content (quick question) at the beginning of the episode! Enjoy.

It's just a dabble. A dipping of the toe, if you will. But it's a subject that sparks a lot of interest, and may or may not answer some underlying personality traits... We also ask the big question, how does Pluto come into Astrology? We don't have the answer, so maybe you can help us out there!

Burn Out, and we're not talking about the ones you can do in a car, we're talking mental and physical burn out. It happens to all types of people, and there are many different causes. Rachel and Abi discuss their battles with burn out and the different causes and possible solutions to beat it. Of course, there are a lot of giggles and mispronounced words as usual, so it's not all doom and gloom.

Your gut isn't just your stomach... Who knew!?! Gut Health is important, but it's hard to know why. Well Rachel and Abi can help, as they discuss why it's such a big topic right now. 

Turns out sleep is pretty important, who knew. Rachel and Abi discuss the topic, touching on a few TED Talks related to sleep, and giving some of their own experiences. Have a listen (and have a sleep in this weekend, you deserve it).

Kelly McGonigal delivers are really fantastic TED Talk, How To Make Stress Your Friend, which Abi and Rachel watch, review and discuss. It's a great topic with some very practical tools you can use in everyday life. Also, there is a little bonus content this week at the end of this weeks episode, so stick around for that!  

Seed Cycling falls into our favourite category, Period chat! Different seeds benefit you at different times during your cycle. It's a fun and interesting topic, plus it conjures images of cute little seeds cycling along on tiny bikes, so that's fun! Enjoy.

The girls are joined by the amazing Daina Crosbie of Finding Your Beatuy! Daina talks about wellbeing and her ambition to help others achieve their wellness dreams through a holistic strength-based approach that explores lifestyle strategies tailored to your preferences and goals.

Journaling can be a useful tool to help many aspects of your daily life. Rachel and Abi discuss some of the benefit's of the practice, and what sort of journaling they use themselves. 

Rachel and Abi discuss what they've learned about Magnesium deficiencies, and the benefits of a Magnesium supplement. Spoiler alert, there are a lot of benefits!

We're back for a third season! This week it's just a chat and catch-up. Come hang out and catch-up with Abi and Rachel. Hopefully it will make your 2020 just a little bit better.

The girls have come to the end of season 2, and what fun it has been. Twenty episodes (so far) in 2020. Rachel and Abi recap some of the biggest takeaways from the show thus far and reflect on how they have evolved as people.
