    Life or Money

    Can we have it all? A full bank account AND a full personal life? 💸🏠 In this weeks episode, Life or Money, we chat about if we can have it all - all at once. Often we see opulent people depicted within a jet set lifestyle, in the words of Kanye “police escorts, everybody passports, this the life that everybody asks for. This a fast life, we are on a crash course.” 💎💰 But we hear less about CEO’s, moguls and entrepreneurs having a fulfilling and consistent home life. In fact many times their home / work balance is totally off. ⚖️ “Entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 hours a week.”  - Lori Greiner We are marketed the “level up” life, ‘become richer faster, Gucci up and boss it.’ ⚜️ We’re encouraged by the media to have an insatiable appetite for material things or status, but at what cost? 💔 This week it was reported that Bill Gates and his wife will divorce this year. Being one of the wealthiest men in the world, with a net worth of about 130 BILLION dollars, it could be argued that money doesn’t buy you love - or happiness for that matter. 🙈 So in this episode, we talk about the disadvantage of comparison and how it baits us into competitive and superficial mindsets. 📉 How time is the most valuable asset we can possess or give to loved ones, and how rich we’d want to be! 🤑 Tune in to hear us talk about our thoughts on the simple life vs the ‘successful’ life. We are thrilled to have our special guest @chianreynolds join us for a second episode where she gives us her invaluable insights and personal experiences on her journey with money so far! 🧿🔥 Ps. Don’t forget to follow her on social media because she’s blowIng UP right now having written her own show called ‘Grilling’ for @standouttv, which is racking up views and igniting controversial conversations all over the internet! Get involved! We KNOW you’ll love her sass! Raw, unfiltered and full of craic, as always we invite you to Come Sit With Us ! 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 Enjoy this weeks ep, and let us know your thoughts on Apple podcast reviews!

    Is This A Man's World? (Extended Episode) *TRIGGER WARNING IN DESCRIPTION*

    Trigger Warning: This episode deals directly with first hand accounts of sexual assault & harassment. This content was triggering to produce, and will be triggering at times for other survivors to listen to, so do you on this one.  If you crossed paths with a woman in a dark alley, would you fear for your safety? What about if it was a man? What if a woman blocked your path to hit on you? What if a man did it?  A raw and hardhitting conversation in this weeks EXTENDED EPISODE from us, where we face some of the issues of being a woman in this world head on and ask  "Is this a man's world?"  To give us a gentlemanly helping hand with this, we are proud to announce a NEW SPECIAL FEATURE for CSWU - The Male Correspondent! A male friend of the pod is joining us when appropriate, to give HIS thoughts on the weekly topics and to open the convo up between men & women and there isn't a more appropriate episode for his debut. The rhetoric is currenlty very divisive between men & women and is dangerous territory. We are all on the same team, and in our opinion, it's simply "dickheads vs soound people" rather than men vs women.    With the media teeming with content about violence against women, and the horrendous tragedy of Sarah Everard shocking the UK, we couldn't justify NOT doing an episode on something that each one of us struggles with, no matter how uncomfortable. The reality is that too many women are lost to domestic violence, are rape survivors and nearly 1 in 3 women are victims of assault at the hands of men according to the UN Health Agency and W.H.O. Too many times this is normalised and put under the umbrella of "boys will be boys", or the WOMEN shouldn't put themselves in vulnerable situations, and THAT is what we at CSWU call; utter b******t. Minnie is the fiery host of this episode, with emotions on the surface and unapologetic opinions, she and the girls open their hearts and shut down their tolerance in honour of themselves and of all female identifying humans and survivors of assault. Our voicenote this week is from the real Woman's Woman and unstoppable talent, Chian Reynolds. We hope this episode resonates with survivors and gives hope that they are in good company, we are better together! Don't forget to let us know what you think by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts, we'd really appreciate it! All our love,  The CSWU Girls xxx
