Basically Being Better Podcast

"Love people. Use things. The opposite never works." - The Minimalists. These are absolutely words of wisdom that everybody can live by, and the theme of this weeks episode. The girls take a look at the Netflix Documentary, Minimalism, as well as the obligatory Period Chat and of course COVID-19 Lock-down discussions. 

We're back with more of our favourite topic... You know what that means, it's more Period chat. This week the girls discuss how they chart their cycles, which apps and books they recommend, and the pros and cons of all of it. Sprinkle in some laughs along with a pinch of mispronounced words and you've got another week of the Basically Being Better Podcast. Enjoy.

Prior to 2020 one of the girls loved Yoga and the other did not... However, with a little bit of Fomo and the help of Yoga with Adriene, Rachel and Abi have an episode to help you get motivated to practice the wonderful art of Yoga. Of course you have to get through half an episode of Period chat to hear it. But hey, that's our favourite topic!

Feat or Fiasco is almost as fun to say as it is listening to the girls giggles their way through another lockdown podcast. This week Rachel and Abi ask each other if some of their activities (or non-activities) during quarantine are a Feat or a Fiasco. Laugh along with their pajama-wearing anecdotes. 

We're deeeep into COVID-19 lock-down now, and Abi and Rachel have a lot of built up energy from not seeing each other everyday. They let out some of that energy in the form of many "Quick Questions". As always, heaps of laughs and a lot of embarrassing stories. Whats new!?!

Which of the Four Tendencies, as per the book by Gretchen Rubin, do you fit into? The girls discuss where they fit in the spectrum, the conundrums of where their respective husbands fit, and even sneak in some extra period chat at the end. 

The first episode recorded while in isolation! Apologies in advance as the girls talk over one another and discuss the wonderful Birth Control-Sex Explained episode on Netflix. Have a little listen and let us know what you think. 

A zero waste lifestyle is an extremely difficult thing to achieve but is a topic on many peoples minds in recent years. Abi and Rachel talk about the nifty little book by Anita Vandyke - A Zero Waste Life in Thirty Days. Which includes heaps of tricks to put into practice to start living a zero waste life. 

It's that time of the week again, to talk about that time of the month again... That's right, another Period episode and Rachel and Abi are discussing how exercise impacts your cycle. Check out our socials, Instagram: @basicallybeingbetter and Twitter: @beingbetterpod

Stress and Overwhelm, two words many people will identify with often on a daily basis. Rachel and Abi share their experience on the topic and offer some advice. There are ways through stress and overwhelm, and people out there who can and want to help!
