Let's Discuss Podcast

Have you heard of the four tendencies framework? Author Gretchen Rubin has created a personality type framework, which helps you to understand how you react to inner and outer expectations.  Learning which personality type you are can be hugely beneficial, as it can help you to create strategies for fulfilling your personal goals. As well as helping you to complete tasks which other people require of you.  As differing tendencies, we discuss what it's like to be an 'upholder' and a 'questioner', and the tactics we use to maximise our tendencies and take on their challenges.  This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in habit-forming, and learning more about themselves so that they can complete their work more efficiently, as well as stick to personal habits they'd like to more easily.  We also discuss strategies for working with people, or being in a relationship with someone, of a different tendency. They all have their quirks and it's super interesting to figure out which one you are, as well as which tendency the people around you are! Perfectionism also comes up as we dissect how different tendencies approach the 'perfect' outcome.  Be sure to click through on the quiz in our show notes to find out your own tendency!  We hope you'll enjoy the episode!  EPISODE 13 SHOW NOTES Here's your exclusive Birchbox discount code!

How do you define success? In Episode 10 of the Let’s Discuss Podcast we are delving into our definitions for success, and looking closely at the third metric for success as defined by Arianna Huffington in her book Thrive. We both believe that money, social media followings and ‘power’ don’t define our success; whilst we also acknowledge that feeling financially secure helps us to feel at ease. For the Weekly 5, our newest segment, we share five times we have individually felt successful. We hope that you will enjoy the episode and if you do please leave us a review on iTunes so that more people can enjoy the show too! Thank you as always for supporting Let’s Discuss!

Hi there and welcome to the eighth episode of Let's Discuss! A brand new podcast by lifestyle bloggers and friends Ella Gregory and Monica Beatrice Welburn.  Let's Discuss is a forum for us to share the conversations we have on all things life, love, work and wellbeing.  In our eighth, and last, episode of season one we're opening up the floor for a Q&A! We asked you to submit the questions you'd most like to ask us, and we received dozens from around the world.  In this episode we answer your questions about quarter life crises, living on a budget, how to distance yourself from toxic friends and so much more. This was such a fun episode to record and we were so thrilled to open up the floor to your questions.  We hope you enjoy episode eight and the last episode of season one!

Hi there and welcome to the seventh episode of Let's Discuss! A brand new podcast by lifestyle bloggers and friends Ella Gregory and Monica Beatrice Welburn.  Let's Discuss is a forum for us to share the conversations we have on all things life, love, work and wellbeing.  In our seventh episode we're delving into the world of friendships and how they've changed in our twenties. We've both experienced friendships which last for years (possibly forever!) and friendships which have drifted. During your twenties your free time becomes scarcer, and it's more important than ever to surround yourself with people that lift you up, and to invest in the friendships you really value.  In this episode we look at what we seek in an 'ideal friend', the importance of 'friendship dates' and how to maintain the friendships you really treasure, even if your friends live far away.  We hope you enjoy episode seven! Thank you so much for supporting our new endeavour!

Hi there and welcome to the fifth episode of Let's Discuss! A brand new podcast by lifestyle bloggers and friends Ella Gregory and Monica Beatrice Welburn.  Let's Discuss is a forum for us to share the conversations we have on all things life, love, work and wellbeing.  In our fourth episode we're delving into the world of quarter life crises, our individual experiences of them, and our advice on recognising when you may be in crisis and how to handle it.  As we've both experienced personally, a crisis can be a really scary anxiety-ridden time in life. We both felt alone in our crises until we opened up to others. In sharing our experiences we hope that we can help you if you too are experiencing an anxious period, or know someone that is.  Your twenties are often a time when you will go through some anxiety - there is a lot to handle at this point in your life! Whatever age you are, in this episode we address how totally 'normal' it is to be in a crisis, and how to help yourself to get out of this challenging stage. We hope you enjoy episode five! Thank you so much for supporting our new endeavour! Love, Ella and Monica x
