How can we survive the "New Year, New Me" hype? Why should we not start a new diet in January... or ever? And how can we can make resolutions without damaging our body image?

Michelle and Amalie welcome you into 2019 with an episode that counters all the "new year, new me" garbage we are seeing at this time of the year. Instead of talking about new diets or workout regimes, we focus on goals that can actually improve our lives - not crush our souls.

How do you avoid family fights? How do you get some time by yourself when nobody seem willing to leave you alone? And how do you stop feeling guilty for overeating at Christmas?

Michelle and Amalie get you prepped to survive the holiday season. Whether you and your family are fighting, or you are spending Christmas alone, this time of year can be stressful. This week's episode is all about how to keep up your boundaries around nosy family members, why hiding in the bathroom is essential self-care, and why it's OK to hate Christmas.

Is there still a stigma around therapy? How do you know when you don’t need therapy anymore? Or is therapy a lifelong thing?

Michelle and Amalie share their experiences of going to therapy, and how there are some flaws in how the system works. They discuss the expense of therapy, whether diagnosing people actually benefits them and how to find the right therapist when you can barely even understand the difference between a counsellor, psychotherapist, psychologist and psychiatrist.
