   Let’s talk about it: why communication shapes your whole life (and how to do it better)

   We communicate every single day… but somehow, no one ever teaches us how to communicate well. In this episode, we unpack why communication breaks down, how social conditioning shapes the way we express ourselves, and why so many relationship issues are actually communication issues in disguise. We also chat about our growing reliance on AI to write texts, emails and difficult messages, whether it's helping or hurting our communication skills, and why being comfortable with awkward conversations is a skill worth building. We cover: 💜 Why we often contribute to communication breakdowns without realising it 🤖 Are we outsourcing too many conversations to AI? 👯♀️ How gender expectations influence the way we communicate 🙋♀️ Why women are often labelled "bossy" for being direct ✨ Practical ways to become a more confident communicator 💭 The difference between being clear and being liked 🫶 Why communication is always a two-way street Practical takeaways: Practice assertiveness in low-stakes situations. Stop expecting people to read your mind. You can be kind and clear. Someone else's reaction isn't always a reflection of how well you communicated. Journal prompts: Do I feel safe being honest about what I need? What communication habit is helping my relationships... and what habit is hurting them? How do I want the people I care about to feel after talking with me? Communication recs: ▶️ The science behind dramatically better conversations (https://youtu.be/lg48Bi9DA54) | Charles Duhigg | TEDxManchester 📚 Crucial Conversations (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/15014.Crucial_Conversations) – Kerry Patterson et al.📚 You're Not Listening (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45892276-you-re-not-listening) – Kate Murphy📚 The Next Conversation (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/215514806-the-next-conversation) – Jefferson Fisher 💌 Subscribe to  to be the first to know when new eps drop https://substack.com/@getittogetherpod (https://substack.com/@getittogetherpod)💬 DM us - https://www.instagram.com/getittogether_pod (https://www.instagram.com/getittogether_pod) 💜 Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it ♪ stream cafe - boba date (http://youtube.com/watch?v=kj1MDJXJ7-I) This is a public episode.

   Just Start - Making Space For Creativity As An Adult With Emma Whines

   At what point did we collectively decide hobbies were… optional? TBH probably somewhere between paying bills, replying to emails with “just circling back,” and trying to drink enough water 🤔 creativity quietly got demoted to a “nice in theory” category. Right next to journalling and stretching. This week on the pod, we had our first guest (!!), Emma Whines, who is what we would describe as a creative diehard — aka someone who just… keeps picking things up and trying them. Reading, sewing, music, learning to ride a motorbike?!? And it got us thinking: maybe the issue isn’t that we’re not creative anymore. Maybe we’ve just stopped making space for it. 💌 Subscribe to https://substack.com/@getittogetherpod (https://substack.com/@getittogetherpod) to be the first to know when new eps drop 💬 DM us - What hobbies are you (inconsistently) into right now?

   Resolutions but Regulated 🧘🏼 ♀️

   The year doesn’t start in January - and neither should you. TLDR the Gregorian calendar’s start date is arbitrary, disconnected from nature, and primarily a construct of historical and commercial influence etc etc. So in lieu of that, let’s find a New Year that works for us - here are just some you can choose from: - Astrological New Year: Astrologically, the new year begins when the Sun enters Aries, which occurs around the Spring Equinox. - Personal New Year: Many feel their personal cycle restarts on their birthday, which is seen as a more meaningful, individualised time to set new goals and reflect on the past year. - Lunar New Year: Celebrated by many cultures (Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean) based on a lunisolar calendar, that we celebrated just last week on Feb 17. What We’re Chatting About - Why Shannon is NOT a New Year’s Resolution girl - Making intentions from alignment vs. pressure - Slutty little glasses (https://theconversation.com/slutty-little-glasses-mens-eyewear-fashion-is-the-history-of-seeing-and-being-seen-262518) (IYKYK) - The psychological spiral of online shopping cart purgatory It wouldn’t be a new year without a vision board!!

   Navigating Social Media and Body Image

   Our latest social media deep dives Georgia: Dog food supplements - senior dog owners IYKYK Ireland’s National Ploughing Championships (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOqY_cCCO_k/?igsh=anZub3N3bmdiajUy) Shannon: Nina Dobrev’s breakup with her snowboarder boyfriend Homewares Online courses Social Media and Self-Perception: A Love-Hate Thing Unfortunately IG has more than just Reels about farm fairs and dog supplements—we chatted about how a lot of women’s health/ fitspo content can be quite toxic. It’s not just annoying—it’s harmful. We’ve seen a huge spike in eating disorders in the last few years, especially since COVID lockdowns. Things like “What I Eat in a Day” videos or the marketing of products like detox teas (ugh) can really mess with your head, especially if you’re already feeling vulnerable. Our Brains Weren’t Built for This Something we’ve been learning (and reminding ourselves constantly) is that our brains literally weren’t designed for this. Human brains evolved in a totally different world—one without endless scrolling, notifications, or constant access to curated highlight reels. Our ancestors had to pay attention to their immediate environment for survival. Now? We’re overloaded with updates, opinions, drama, and comparisons—most of which have nothing to do with our real lives. It’s no wonder we feel exhausted and anxious after just ten minutes of scrolling. This constant bombardment leads to cognitive fatigue, emotional burnout, and sometimes that feeling of just being totally “off” without knowing why. Social Media Addiction Is a Real Thing Let’s talk dopamine. Every time you refresh your feed or get a notification, your brain gets a little hit—a reward that keeps you coming back for more. But like a pokie machine, it’s unpredictable. Sometimes you get a rush of likes and comments, and sometimes...crickets. That inconsistency is exactly what makes it so addictive. I (Georgia) have noticed that I sometimes use social media as a coping mechanism—when I’m overwhelmed or stressed, I scroll to numb out. But honestly? I always feel worse after. It’s like eating junk food when you’re sad—it gives you a temporary distraction but doesn’t actually fix anything. So What Can We Actually Do About It? We’re not here to tell you to delete all your apps and live in the woods (though, tempting). But there are a few small things we both try to do to keep social media in check: Delay the scroll: Try to be phone free for the first 30 mins after waking up. Clean up your feed: If you’re scrolling and a post comes up that doesn’t make you feel good - click that unsubscribe button - or select “show me less content like this” Use the screen time setting on your phone Need to focus? Use Do Not Disturb - or just put your phone in another room Digital detoxes: I’ve taken full-on breaks before, and honestly? I feel so much better for it - try deleting your socials for a few days (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563225000573) and see how you feel.

    Let’s Talk Authenticity

    This week, we’re diving deep into a topic that feels both so important and a little terrifying: authenticity. What does it really mean to show up as your true self? How do you do that without feeling emotionally naked—or burning out in the process? If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the fear of being “too much,” this episode is for you. 🧡 💡 What Is Authenticity, Really? "Authenticity" gets thrown around a lot—especially online. But to us, it’s not about oversharing or turning your trauma into content. It’s about: Getting honest with yourself Living in alignment with your values Setting boundaries that feel good Letting the messy, unfiltered parts exist (without apology) It’s not a performance. It’s a practice. 🎙 Vulnerability + Art = Magic (And Maybe Some Sweat) Let’s be real: putting this podcast out into the world? It’s vulnerable as hell. But that’s what makes it powerful. Whether you're creating art, writing a poem, or just having a real convo—vulnerability is the gateway to connection. Scary? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. 😬 The Fear of Being Seen We talk about the very real fear of being truly seen. It’s that push-pull between wanting to be visible and fearing judgment. But here’s the truth: you can’t build real connection if you're hiding the real you. 🌱 Still Figuring It Out? SAME. Spoiler: there’s no final destination when it comes to being authentic. We’re all a work in progress—trying, messing up, learning, evolving. And that’s kind of the point. ✨ Tiny Ways to Be More You (Without Burning Out) Here are a few gentle ways to explore your authenticity: Check in with your values Journal, meditate, voice-note—whatever works. Ask yourself:→ What actually matters to me?→ If money wasn’t a factor, what would my day look like? Try these journal prompts from the Return to Nature Substack (https://returntonature.substack.com/p/august-and-imbolc) (https://returntonature.substack.com/p/august-and-imbolc (https://returntonature.substack.com/p/august-and-imbolc)) :→ How can I courageously show up as my authentic self in the places I usually hold back? Gut checks > people-pleasing Tune into your body. How do you feel around certain people or in certain spaces? Rest is part of the work Hustle culture lied. Rest isn’t lazy—it’s necessary. Try creating time for stillness (bonus points if it’s in nature 🌿). 👯♀️ Find Your People Stop chasing approval. Start finding the people who get you and love your weirdness. They’re out there—and they’ll feel like home. 💌 A Love Note to Our Younger Selves (And Maybe Yours Too) You’re not too much. You’re not behind. You’re just growing into who you’re meant to be. Stay weird. Stay curious. Keep showing up. We’d love to hear from you! What does authenticity look like in your life right now? What’s working—and what’s still a challenge? 💬 Slide into our DMs: @getittogether_pod (https://www.instagram.com/getittogether_pod) ♪ stream cafe - boba date link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj1MDJXJ7-I (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj1MDJXJ7-I)To hear more, visit https://getittogetherpod.substack.com/ (https://getittogetherpod.substack.com/) This is a public episode.

    More Than 9 to 5: Redefining What Work Means to You

    Are you feeling kinda off at work lately? Like you’re doing all the “right” things, checking all the boxes, but still wondering, “Is this really it?” If you’ve been daydreaming about quitting your job, switching fields, starting something totally new—or just finding something that actually feels like you—trust me, you’re not alone. This week on the pod, we’re talking all things careers. ✨ Leaving the “Safe” Job for Something That Feels Right Shannon recently did the thing so many of us fantasize about—she left her stable, “on paper perfect” job because deep down, it just didn’t feel right anymore. Yeah, it was scary. But on the other side? She found more purpose, clarity, and that little spark that had been missing for a while. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a job that looks good from the outside but feels meh on the inside, her story is going to hit hard in the best way. 💸 Passion vs. Paycheck — The Eternal Struggle Let’s be real: not everyone can just up and quit their job to chase a dream. We’ve got bills. Rent. Real-life responsibilities. We don’t pretend it’s easy—but we do talk about how there’s room to get creative. Maybe it’s a side hustle. Maybe it’s a slow transition. Or maybe it’s just finally giving yourself permission to ask, “What do I actually want?” You don’t have to choose between stability and joy. There’s a way to make space for both—you just have to figure out what that looks like for you. 🧠 That Gut Feeling? Yeah… Trust It. You know that little voice inside you? The one that’s been whispering, “Something’s not right”? Yeah. That voice usually knows what’s up. Shannon shared how she knew—before she really knew—that it was time to move on. Even when everything looked “fine,” her gut was saying otherwise. And trusting that instinct, even when it didn’t fully make sense, was the beginning of everything shifting for her. So if you’ve been feeling low-key anxious or stuck lately, maybe take a second to tune in. Your body and brain are a lot wiser than we give them credit for. 💬 It’s Not Just the Job—It’s the People Another thing we got into? Work culture. Because let’s be honest—your job title and salary could be great, but if your team is draining or the vibes are off? That impacts your day-to-day. We talked about how much it matters to feel safe, supported, and seen at work—and how sometimes it’s not the job that needs to change, it’s the environment. 🛑 Redefining Ambition (You Don’t Have to Be “Climbing”) This part hit home: Georgia has been in the same role for a while now, and guess what? That’s totally okay. We’ve been conditioned to believe ambition always means chasing more. More titles, more money, more hustle. But what if ambition could also mean staying in a role that aligns with your values, gives you breathing room, and lets you live your life? You’re allowed to define success on your terms. 💡Feeling Lost? Same. And It’s Okay. If you're thinking, “Cool, but I have no clue what I actually want to do”—you’re not broken. You’re just in the middle of figuring it out. Sometimes there’s no clear plan, just curiosity. And that’s more than enough to start. Try something. Mess it up. Start again. You’re learning as you go—just like the rest of us. Absolutely! Here’s a blog segment version of your text—formatted cleanly, with a warm, conversational tone that’s still reflective and thoughtful. It fits perfectly into a blog post about career transitions, self-discovery, or intentional living: ✍️ A Journaling Prompt That Changed My Perspective One of the most helpful exercises Georgia’s done recently came from a simple journal prompt: “What would your everyday look like if bills weren’t an issue?” Like, hypothetically, if money wasn’t a factor—if you didn’t have to earn a certain amount to survive— * What would you be doing with your time? * Who would you spend your days with? * Where would you live? * How would you feel when you woke up in the morning? It sounds basic, but sitting down and really writing it all out was surprisingly powerful. It helped me uncover what I truly value—not just what I think I “should” value. It gave me insight into what I want more of in my life right now, even with the realities of work and bills and adulting. And honestly? It was kind of validating. As I answered those questions, I realized… I'm already doing a lot of the things I imagined in that "ideal" version of my life. Maybe not perfectly or all at once, but still—it was a reminder that I’m not as far off as I thought. Sometimes, we just need to pause and ask ourselves: Am I already closer to the life I want than I realize? And no, it’s not a test. You’re not trying to “get it right.” It’s just about being honest with yourself—and maybe giving yourself credit for how far you've already come. 📚 3 Get It Together Book Recs That Shifted How I Think About Life + Work If you're in a bit of a “what am I doing with my life?” phase (hi, same), these books are for you. Each one offers something different 1. Man’s Search for Meaning – Viktor E. Frankl A powerful reminder that even in the hardest circumstances, we still get to choose our response. Deep, grounding, and honestly kind of life-changing if you’re feeling lost or questioning your “why.” 2. Ikigai – Héctor García & Francesc Miralles This book is like a warm hug from Japan. It explores how to find your purpose—the thing that makes you want to get out of bed in the morning. Simple, beautiful, and a must-read if you’re rethinking your career or lifestyle. 3. The Invisible Load – Dr. Libby Weaver This one’s a must-read for women who feel weighed down but can’t always put their finger on why. Dr. Libby breaks down the unique emotional, mental, and hormonal pressures women carry daily—the invisible load we often don’t talk about. It’s packed with science-backed insights and practical tools to help lighten that weight and reclaim your energy without having to overhaul your whole life. Perfect if you’re feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or just craving more balance. Read any of them? Let us know what you thought—or drop your own recs! One Last Thing... You don’t need permission to want something different. Or to walk away from something that doesn’t feel like you anymore. Or to try something brand new—even if it feels a little terrifying. Start small. Listen to your gut. You’re doing better than you think. Thanks for hanging out with us on this career-transition journey 💫If this episode hit home, take a moment to check in with yourself—what’s one boundary you’ve been meaning to set at work or in your career? Maybe it’s saying no to extra hours, asking for support, or carving out time for your own growth. Or better yet, text your bestie and share this episode to kick off a convo about protecting your peace and priorities at work—because honestly, we all need that reminder.

    💫 Embrace Your Boundaries Babe

    💫 Embrace Your Boundaries, Babe Okay, let’s be real: how many times have you said “yes” when you really wanted to say “no”? 🙋♀️ We’ve all been there—overcommitting, overgiving, and totally over ourselves in the process. Hi! We’re Georgia and Shannon, your go-to gals for real talk, deep chats, and the occasional boundary rant. Today, we’re diving into something we need to hear (again and again): setting boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s essential. What Even Are Boundaries? The word “boundaries” can sound a little... vague, right? Like, okay, cool, but what are they? Think of them as invisible lines that protect your time, energy, and emotional space. Boundaries say: ““I care about you, but I won’t sacrifice my well-being to keep the peace.” We’ve both been on a whole journey with this—shoutout to therapy and years of growth! One big aha moment? Setting boundaries doesn’t push people away; it actually brings the right ones closer. Breaking Up with People-Pleasing Ugh, the people-pleaser life. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? We both used to think saying “no” made us rude, ungrateful, or (our personal favourite) difficult. But the truth? People-pleasing often means abandoning our own needs—and that’s not cute. Once we started paying attention to why we felt guilty setting boundaries, it became way easier to change that pattern. Spoiler alert: it’s a lifelong practice, but sooo worth it. So, How Do You Actually Start Setting Boundaries? Here are a few things we’ve learned that helped us: 💡 Check in with your body. Ever get a weird pit in your stomach when you say yes to something you don’t want to do? That’s your body telling you something’s off. Start noticing where you feel safe and where you feel drained. 💡 Not every ‘no’ leads to drama. A lot of the time, we think setting a boundary will cause conflict—but it doesn’t. 💡 Feel the awkward. Ride it out. Yes, it’s uncomfortable at first. But the more you sit with that discomfort, the stronger you’ll get at holding your ground. 💡 Speak your truth—nicely. You can be direct and kind. Try, “I’m not available for that right now,” or “That doesn’t work for me.” No need to explain yourself into oblivion. 💡 Set those boundaries IRL.. You can use your tone and body language to make sure your message lands right. Texts can easily be misunderstood, so having the convo face-to-face shows you’re serious about respecting yourself and the relationship. Love Without Losing Yourself Here’s the big takeaway: love isn’t just about partners or romantic drama. Some of our most soul-filling love comes from besties, chosen family, and—surprise—ourselves. When you have solid boundaries, you attract healthier connections across the board. No more shrinking, bending, or breaking for people who don’t meet you where you’re at. Final Thoughts (and a Pep Talk) So here’s your permission slip: start protecting your peace, sis. Say no when you need to. Choose you. You’re not “too much” or “cold” for setting boundaries—you’re just growing. You’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to need rest. And you’re 100% allowed to walk away from anything that drains your joy. Thanks for hanging out with us on this boundary-setting adventure 💫If this episode hit home, maybe take a moment to check in with yourself—what’s one boundary you’ve been wanting to set? Or text your bestie and share this episode to spark a convo about protecting your peace (because we all need that reminder).

    Trying New Hobbies and Getting Out of Our Comfort Zones (Without Totally Freaking Out)

    Okay, real talk—have you ever wanted to try something new as an adult but immediately talked yourself out of it? Like, who do I think I am taking up pottery/dance/Brazilian jujitsu at this big age? Same. You are so not alone. This week, I’ve been thinking (and chatting) about the whole idea of trying new things and how stepping out of your comfort zone is... well, way easier said than done. Our Journey with New Hobbies (a.k.a. Flailing Around in a Fun Way) Let me tell you—starting something from scratch as an adult is kind of terrifying but also kind of amazing. Georgia (my co-host and fellow hobby-hopper) recently got into Brazilian jujitsu, and she was super nervous at first. But once she actually gave it a shot, she realized she didn’t need to be a black belt on day one. It was more about showing up and learning something new. Meanwhile, I’ve tried to channel my inner backup dancer and hit a few dance classes—and let’s just say the mirror wasn’t always kind, but the laughs were totally worth it. Sometimes it's less about "nailing it" and more about the joy of doing something just because. Why Is Starting Something New So Scary? Let’s be real—trying new things can bring up all kinds of weird insecurities we thought we left behind in high school. There’s that annoying voice in our heads saying we need to be instantly good at everything or else we shouldn’t even try. Georgia put it perfectly: as adults, we get so caught up in appearing competent that we’d rather not try at all than risk looking awkward. And don’t even get me started on the labels we picked up growing up—like “not sporty” or “bad at art.” It’s wild how those little comments can sneak into our adult brains and stop us from exploring things that might actually bring us joy. So… How Do You Even Start? Here’s what’s been helping me: I start small. I ask dumb questions. I let myself be bad at stuff. Honestly, it’s so freeing. It’s not about becoming a pro; it’s about having a good time, learning something new, and letting yourself be a beginner again. Georgia and I both agree—fear is often just a sign that you care. And that’s a beautiful thing. It means you’re alive, curious, and growing. Let’s Keep It Light, Shall We? At the end of the day, trying new things shouldn’t feel like a chore or a test. It’s meant to be fun. Whether you totally fall in love with a hobby or just walk away with a funny story, it’s always worth it. Thanks for hanging out with us on this little journey. If you’re feeling inspired, maybe text that friend who’s been wanting to try something new and plan to do it together. And if you loved this convo, give us a follow over on Insta: @GetItTogether_Pod (https://www.instagram.com/GetItTogether_Pod) 💜 Because honestly? Life’s too short to stay in your comfort zone. ♪ stream cafe - boba date link: youtu.be/kj1MDJXJ7-I (https://youtu.be/kj1MDJXJ7-I) This is a public episode.

Make a Happiness List: - Jot down activities that genuinely light you up and fit them into your routine. Nothing is too big or too small.

    You've Got Time - Part 1

    Ep 1 is here! We chat about how you're not running out of time (we promise) and the link between productivity and self worth. We're tackling that all-too-familiar feeling that you're running out of time. We also chat about the link between productivity and self-worth. Spoiler: Your self-esteem shouldn't be tied to how productive you are (despite what society tries to tell us). Why Your Worth Isn’t Bound by the Clock Georgia and Shannon kick off by breaking down this whole “running out of time” myth. Let's be real—it's easy to feel like social media is pushing you to have your life together pronto. But guess what? That’s a total myth. Remember being a kid and feeling like you needed to discover your life's purpose, like, yesterday? Shannon totally relates, having felt that pressure at eight years old. But through our chat, Shannon and Georgia let their younger selves know that it’s perfectly okay not to have it all mapped out. Let’s Talk Being Present Our girl Shannon brings some awesome advice on staying rooted in the now and practicing gratitude. Seriously, it’s a game-changer. Forget the fear of failing; it's all about trying your best today and letting tomorrow worry about itself. Quick Tips for Loving the Moment You’re In Celebrate the Little Stuff: Start small and see where it takes you. Whether it's acting in a TV series or taking up surfing - you never know until you give it a go. Be Your Own Cheerleader: Being kind to yourself - Easier said than done, right? We’re big believers in recognizing your progress and being patient with yourself. You’re doing amazing, sweetie! Face Your Fears: Shannon throws in this neat concept called reality checking. It’s all about assessing your worries and finding out the worst that could realistically happen if you take the plunge. More often than not, the reality is a whole lot nicer than those scary "what ifs." What’s Next? If you're feeling stuck with a million choices and no idea where to start, take a breath. Remember, taking that first step creates its own momentum. Next time that inner voice starts stressing you out with timelines, remember there's no rush. Your journey is yours, and it's just getting started.
