Tired of being told to “love yourself first” before anything else can work? We take that sacred cow for a walk and ask a simpler, kinder question: what if love is a verb, not a mood? Annie and David unpack the pressure-packed version of self-love that dominates social media and swap it for practical actions anyone can do—no lotus pose required. Along the way we separate self-love from self-care aesthetics, look at why external validation actually matters, and explore how neutral self-respect can be more stabilising than forced affirmations.

Ever tried to share a life when your partner’s best hour is your worst? We dive into the everyday friction of two people on different clocks—one of us a sunrise exerciser who thrives on routine, the other a late-day creative who hits stride when the world winds down. Along the way we challenge wellness overpromises (no, stress doesn’t cause 99% of illness), keep the real science on movement and ageing, and get honest about how habits actually form: fewer pep talks, more smart design.

What if your biggest flaws aren't flaws at all, but simply part of being human?

We've all had that moment—catching a glimpse of ourselves in the mirror and immediately focusing on some perceived imperfection. That unexpected view of "tuck shop arms" (as we call them in Australia) or an unflattering angle in a video can trigger an avalanche of self-criticism. But why do we do this to ourselves?
