    In this final episode for 2023 we are sharing our Best & Worst for the year that was, and also three things we would recommend (Christy may have snuck in five - LOL!). This conversation is filled with books, podcasts and magical potions (if local honey counts) to help you smash the rest of 2023 out of the park and welcome in 2024 with open arms! We also share what we can’t wait to do over the Christmas break and take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for listening to Spreading the Good Stuff podcast this year.

    Episode 75 - Resilience in Troubling Times

    In this powerful episode we discuss what resilience means to us, starting with a broad definition thanks to the incomparable Brene Brown and unpack how we harness it for ourselves, our families and the wider community. We open our minds to what resilience is and Leonie opens her heart in the most extraordinary way to share her resilience and grief journey. We thank her for her honesty and for letting her guard down to help others who might be feeling trapped in their grief or emotion. Bravo Lee and thank you for spreading the good stuff - even when it's hard!

    Episode 74 - Catching up on Alone Time, Social Media Detox & Perimenopause

    In this episode we are back after a delightful month off to chat about everything from alone time, social media detoxing and the perils of peri-menopause. Christy chats about her 'alone' retreat, Leonie discusses the benefits and challenges of a longterm break from all social media and Katrina shares experiences of 'change', growth and unravelling through significant chapters in her life, including peri-menopause. We discuss hormone support and how important to get a second opinion on what you are experiencing and to seek out a women's health specialist, which is not always easy. We only briefly touch on this as it's a subject we plan to dedicate a whole episode to in the coming months - can't wait for this! Thanks again for joining us on Spreading the Good Stuff. For all show notes for this and all our other episodes pop on over to our podcast page at ⁠⁠The Splendid Word.⁠⁠ Christy, Katrina and Leonie xxx Important note: in this chat we discuss peri-menopause and what we share about our own personal experiences is in no way to be seen as expert medical advise or criticism.

    Episode 73 - The Art of Saying No

    In episode 73 we briefly recap our last episode, where discussed chasing your dreams and we share the importance of support and the perils of not having it. Are you good at asking for help in your daily life? And, do you feel like a burden if you're receiving help from family or friends. We were reminded by the lovely saying, thanks to Katrina, that 'you can only give as much as you are prepared to receive' - food for thought! We also discuss the art of saying saying no to things, which is another area of challenge for many. It's a tricky situation for many when we feel obligated to do the things we need to do for family, children, community, etc, and one worth unpacking.

    Episode 72 - Chasing Your Dreams

    We're back spreading the good stuff with a conversation about 'chasing your dreams' and of course, we can't not talk about the amazing Matildas! Right off the bat, it was hard to contain how totally pumped we were, along with the rest of the country, about the incredible journey that our national women's soccer team has been on during the FIFA Womens World Cup. We recorded this episode the morning after our heartbreaking loss to England (who were unfortunately the better team on the night) and it was great to reflect on the far-reaching impact the Matilda's journey has had, and will continue to have, into the future. Who said you can't commercialise women's sport? This conversation also covers a lovely listener request - thank you to Jamie - about how to chase your dreams while caring for little people. We each share how we managed (and continue to manage) to keep our dreams alive while in the trenches with young children or tending to teenagers. Being kind to yourself, not comparing yourself to others, being patient and staying focussed on not letting go of your dreams by just doing little things along the way, were all tips we shared.

    Episode 71 - Social Media - The good, the bad & the ugly

    In this episode of Spreading the Good Stuff we talk about social media. What we love, what we hate, and about the very slim chance that one day it might just all disappear! We share the benefits and the pitfalls and how we 'try' and keep a handle on how much we let it creep in and take over our lives. We talk about the new kid on the block Threads, the loveliness of Substack and Instagram and the importance of email. Do we really need more platforms? Since we recorded this episode, Twitter has evolved into X, which many believe will only hasten its demise. Recent headlines have claimed that social media is dead or slowing dying, but why is everyone still on it and using it for all forms of communication, including important life announcements.

    Episode 70 - The Invisible Mental Load

    We're back in your ears after a mini break and chatting about the invisible mental load we carry and if it exists for men also. In this episode we discuss how men and women share (or don't share) their struggles and encourage us all to show greater empathy and support each other, as being human is really hard sometimes. We also talk about the controversial card system used by some families to allocate jobs around the home, and catch up on some travel tales from Christy and Leonie and hear all about Katrina's farm based AirBNB Lost and Found.
