Helli is back from Scotland and Charlotte has officially given notice! We have a chat about True Crime and whether the genre as a form of entertainment has crossed a line into excessive depictions of abuse and violence to serve a fascination with the perverse, rather than as a deterrent for behaviour like this.

This week we’re chatting about the topic of urgency culture, we are so used to having everything we need at our fingertips from Amazon Prime delivery to Uber Eats and multiple streaming services to choose from – has this given us unrealistic expectations of ourselves and others? We’ve normalised expecting instant results so how does this impact our mental health and skills like patience and resilience. We’ve grown up glamourising productivity, girlbossing, multitasking, click to tidy videos and Sunday resets that happen in 20 seconds – the reality is that this takes hours. Urgency Culture has become normal culture but it creates a perceived pressure that is unsustainable, unrealistic and can ultimately lead to burnout.
