new year’s resolutions (reversed !!)
2026 is nearly here so alice griffin and jannah anderson are back w a BONUS episode to close out the year (with our fave jalice format ofc)! this time they’re diving into reverse resolutions – bc honestly who’s still buying into new year, new me? instead they’re flipping the script and sharing what they’re leaving behind, proving sometimes the best way forward is deciding what not to do.
in this episode: reverse resolutions, new year new me, and letting go

manifest the reality you deserve
marie hilellis says she owes her (many !!) successes to her five-year-plan, speaking her goals into existence, and the power of manifestation. and as the the owner of @alteregostudios_, the creative talent behind @piercingsby_marie, and a qualified lawyer on the side, who can deny that the law of attraction didn’t have something to do with it?
in this episode: the power of manifestation, “lucky girl” affirmations, and the art of doing ‘nothing’

facing rejection without crashing out
@lucyxdunning’s resume is stacked. she’s a dancer, singer, actor, theatre performer and writer. she spends every waking moment expressing herself for her job but as a reformed-people-pleaser-in-progress, lucy’s still working on dismantling her instinct to be “palatable’.
in this episode: poetry as self care, resilience in the face of “no” and the fear of being too much

exposing our 2025 ins and outs
“ins and outs” but make them quarterly. no truly, it blew my mind too!
sitting across from lottie – the passionate founder of @banish.au – i was in awe of her assuredness and pragmatism.
something as simple as putting on an ‘all too well 10 minute version’ timer on a task that i hate made me really reconsider how scheduling (and time in general) can feel super intimidating when it doesn’t need to.
in this episode: work-life balance, silly hobbies without goals and our version of emma chamberlain’s anti-gremlin challenge.
lil reminder: schedule some time for FUN and trot to Dendy for Night Shift with your pals, fucking interesting films, nightly at nine.

"I swap house keys with all my closest friends"
how do you cope when you’re really going through it? milo hartill – performer, activist, and the funniest person i’ve chatted to in ages – gets better than most how tricky self-care can be sometimes. in the moments when things become a bit much, they swap judgement for some self-bargaining coping mechanisms that i’m definitely adopting in future.
this episode with milo covers SO much — everything from why swapping house keys is the best thing you'll do for your friendships, to what it’s like having a panic attack on the opera house stage (mid-performance omg), and how the global right-wing swing made them fundamentally reconsider how they move through the world.

“making things with my hands changed my life”
anyone else find it really hard to enjoy making things for fear that they won’t turn out how you want them to? as a perfectionist, i’ve struggled to connect with my artistic side for years, but this chat with remy (@remypr) kinda changed everything for me.
as an incredible ceramic designer, remy’s well aware that literally nothing he makes will turn out exactly how he originally envisioned it. and trusting the process and working it out along the way? that’s where the real beauty is.
also in this episode: the perfect sunday reset, letting go of what’s broken and making friends with cows in the french countryside.

"my phone’s been on do not disturb for three years”
trying to be your “best self” can be exhausting, but have you ever thought about outsourcing?
my chat with vic – the icon behind @mannequin.hands – went way beyond nail art. i came away feeling empowered to say no to the things i'm kinda bad at, without feeling guilty about not hustling to self-improve 24/7. and it’s what you do with that saved time and energy – adding in little things that makes your life more meaningful and fun – that’s where the good stuff is.
also in this episode: planning ahead for future you, wind-down rituals and hot nails as the ultimate form of self-expression.

"food consciously and subconsciously has shaped my whole life"
how much thought do you put into your food? for gaya, food isn't just food – it's everything.
my first guest gaya (@gayatrigger) shares her little thing that’s actually the big thing: food. specifically, food that isn’t just food, but actually the way we deeply connect with each other and better understand ourselves – especially when it’s served in a hot silver tray. it’s cute to make a meal out of things! ❣️
also in this episode: practical journaling, being gentle with yourself, believing in your business.

it’s the little things…
born from a yearning for self care content that felt more like a wholesome peek into someone’s everyday life and less like fuel for comparison, negative self-talk and a fear of falling short, little things emerges.
conversations with creatives about the little things they surround themselves with, habits they’ve formed and acts of radical self care that they practice without even thinking about it, we realise that the little things… are actually the big things.
checking in on you every fortnight 🩵 coming soon.
