How do you know the difference between a thought and a feeling? What have you learned the hard way recently? Do you speak kindly to yourself when nobody is around to listen? Getting stuck in our heads can leave us feeling, well, kinda stuck. This might be as relatable as it is obvious to some, and a complete mystery to others. We wanted to take a little bit of time to sit down and talk our way back to reality, together. This is the two be honest podcast.

EP16 - People pleasing: Never be so politе, you forget your power, nevеr wield such power, you forget to be polite
This week, we're jumping on the people pleasing train! Well, we've probably been on it for some time. That's not necessarily a bad train to be on. Studies show that 'people pleasing' behaviour can reveal underlining empathy and compassion as drivers for this way of living. And let's be honest, the world could use bucket loads more of that.
The challenge comes with finding the right balance. As always, nothing is inherently good or bad, and to that point, people pleasing can also lead us into a spiral where we are actually acting to the detriment of our own happiness. We talk about our own experiences with people pleasing, where we think it might come from, and how we'd like our relationship with it to evolve moving forward.
All aboard - it's gunna be fun!

EP 15 - The art of failure: This I have previously learned
Trying new things is scary. What if I fail? What if I look stupid? What if... no no no. Let's take a breath for a minute and flip the narrative. What if it works out? What if it's everything you'd ever wanted it to be and more? What if, indeed.
We've all heard the adage that failure is a part of life. And we're not here to argue any different. Failure means being willing to run head first at a challenge and embracing the outcome. Failure means self acceptance. Failure means growth. This week, we muse over our own recent experiences of tackling new adventures - and what we've learned from failing plenty in the process.

EP 14 - Lessons from the week: I'm the only one of me
Who am I, and how do I become myself 💭
Science says we can have up to 60,000 thoughts per day. That’s a helluva lot for little old us.
This weeks episode is all about unpacking some of the more recent ones. Taking lessons where we can, and letting go of what we can’t. We’re always learning, right?
(peep the opening line for a major spoiler 😅)
Enjoy the episode! 🧡

EP 13 - Staying present: breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out
Ever felt like life is spinning you out of control? Or that you’re chasing yourself trying to catch up? Well, same.
Join us this week as we talk about how we try to stay present when it all gets a little bit too much. The methods we use to come back to ourselves, to experience life as fully as we can - and above all, to be grateful that we're all on this weird little planet together at the same time. There's always time for a reminder of that.
As always, hope you enjoy the episode!

EP 12 - Outgrowing people: you know in your soul when it's time to go
“Nothing stays the same. People move on. Hearts break. Dreams change. What you wanted from life vs. what’s important to you now varies as time goes on. Friends move cities and relationships change shade as though they were setting with the sun. And all you can do is accept each phase of life with open arms and try to make the most of who you were and what you’ve become.”
- Ruby Dhal
This week is all about growth. Specifically outgrowing friendships & relationships. It’s something that - although necessary to experience - can be really hard to process & to deal with.
The truth is, growth & change are facts of life. The positive or negative association we have toward them, that’s up to us. We always have options and we always have choices. No matter how big or small.
We talk about our personal experiences of outgrowing ourselves & others, and as always, try to make sense of it in the best way that we can.

EP 11 - Setting boundaries: a friend to all is a friend to none
One of the biggest challenges within human relationships is setting boundaries. Whether it’s a small thing, or a big conversation - it can feel very uncomfortable. On the other hand though, with a bit of practice, it can lead to having more healthy relationships with ourselves and the people around us. What we need to feel safe and secure enough to set boundaries and how we handle rejection - we talk about it in today’s episode. Tune in!

EP 10 - Finding your voice: all the mountains we moved
Big or small, loud or quiet. We all have a voice. A unique expression of our own identity. Being allowed the time, space & support to express that… well that’s something we believe in (two be honest).
Neither of us have ever felt like the loudest in the room. In this episode, we explore our experiences with that, and our journey to finding our voice(s). All in the hope that you can too. Because lifting each other up is as human a quality as we can imagine.

EP 09 - Friends: I'm only me when I'm with you
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs puts friendships firmly in the middle. We all need people we can rely on to be there for us through good times or bad, to navigate this crazy journey called life. This week is all about unpacking what those people might bring to us that makes them part of our ‘circle’. It’s different for everyone (that’s what makes us so wonderful & unique), but are there some common traits? How can you recognise whether a relationship serves you? Do you feel seen by the people you love the most? Deep connections, where you at??

EP 08 - Hypersensitivity: I’m just too soft for all of it
Back in 1991, Psychologist Elaine Aron developed the concept of highly sensitive persons (HSPs). Today in 2023, it’s estimated roughly 15–20% of the population is highly sensitive. But wait! What does that mean? How would you recognise it as a condition? Well friends, this episode is all about unwrapping those very questions. As a HSP herself, Emily opens up about how it can positively & negatively impact day-to-day life, and some of the best ways she’s found to cope with it.

EP 07 - Recharging: you should've said no
2023! We're all feeling recharged & ready after the holiday period, right? Hello? Don't be shy now...
Ok so let's get real about recharging. It doesn't show up once a year like it's Santa Claus. It's something we have to create space for for ourselves. Whether that's letting go of expectations of what 'time off' looks like - or learning the true power of saying...no. That's where the superpower of recharging lies.

EP 06 - 2022 recap: I haven't met the new me yet
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Ferris Bueller dropping knowledge from 1986 all the way to 2022. Where you’ll find us in a very reflective mood indeed.
This episode is all about the year just gone. Did it go how we expected, what did we learn from it, and what are our hopes going into 2023.
It’s an annual review in true two be honest style. Get your snacks & tissues ready - we’ll see you on the other side!

EP 05 - Seasonal depression: too young to know it gets better
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. But not for everyone. Shorter days, feelings of loneliness, a lot more time spent indoors. All this can lead us to feel emotionally & physically exhausted. In our latest episode, we have a chat about seasonal depression - what it is, how it makes us feel and what we do to get through the darker time of the year. Hope you enjoy listening, and always remember: you’re not alone!

EP 04 - Attention Economy: I shouldn't be left to my own devices...
...they come with prices. Plural. This episode is all about our attention. Who (or what) we give it to, how conscious we are of giving it away, and what we can do to claim some of it back. Both of us have struggled with this in one way or another, but - as usual - an honest conversation made all the difference. *scrolls social media looking for a Taylor Swift quote to reference in the title for 5 hours*. Ahem...where were we?

EP 03 - Home: where your heart is?
Home is where the heart is? What does it mean, is 'home' really a place or do we carry that feeling with us everywhere we go? What if 'home' is in more than one place?
In this episode we discuss the feeling of belonging and not-belonging, outgrowing our homes and creating our own places of comfort.

EP 02 - Loneliness: I can go anywhere I want, just not home
This week, we're diving headfirst into the topic of loneliness. A big word, an even bigger feeling. We do our best to unpack what loneliness really is, how it can impact us, and what coping mechanisms we have when it strikes. We may experience it as individuals - but on some level, it binds us all together.
