Growth In Progress is a podcast where best friends Charlotte & Helli catch up for a frank discussion about the things that aren’t usually spoken about. Whether it’s friendship breakups, the reality of quitting a job, maintaining your mental health, figuring out your finances, life not working out how you imagined or just trying to be a better person, knowing where to start can feel uncomfortable and overwhelming. The pressure to get it right is real but there’s comfort in knowing you’re not the only one feeling this way. Tune in each fortnight for an open and honest chat about the realities of early-adulthood and plenty of laughs. Nobody’s perfect, but we are Growth In Progress.

205: Curating Your Own Milestones
We have a new intro and it's safe to say we're still adjusting! But this week we are chatting about the exciting Legally Blonde news, what films Charlotte will be watching on the plane and our various levels of cringe when it comes to Rom Coms. But this week we're also chatting about curating your own milestones and while we both are getting married this year, we feel like there is more to milestones than the traditional ones that society tells us we should be excited about.
You can define your own milestones and depending on your hobbies, lifestyle, industry, background, sexual orientation and a million other things, your milestones are unique to you and more than anything should be a chance to celebrate things that are important to you with people who care about you. Whether that's running a PB in your marathon training, paying off debt, getting a new job or getting a visa you've applied for.

204: Rejecting Pigeon-Holes & Embracing Our “Ands”
We're back and we're reunited IN PERSON for the first time in about 3 years - yes, we're giddy with excitement too. This week is all about wedding dresses, Eurovision, baby reindeer (no, not the TV show) and why we need to stop putting people into boxes. Whether it's celebrities experimenting with a new genre, rediscovering a childhood hobby that you love or having multiple interests that might seem contradictory, there's so much ore joy to be had when we embrace out "ands" and stop putting other people, and ourselves, into strict boxes.

203: Living By Your Values
Having values vs. Living by your values - what's the difference? How does this change over time as we get older, more confident or have more money? We chat about how we feel more able to live by our values now and stand up for what's important to us. We chat about how personal motivation is so important in living my your values and how we fear judgement less than when we were in our 20s.

202: Hyper-Productivity Is Counterproductive
Charlotte is back from Kos, Helena is settling back into the UK and both of us are fighting colds, so this week felt fitting to discuss how hyperproductivity can actually be counterproductive for our health, our minds, our nervous system and our overall wellbeing.
This conversation sort of didn't go where we expected as we chatted about whether multitasking and hyperproductivity are gender-skewed and how constant stress is actually putting our bodies into a constant state of fight-or-flight (spoilers: that's not good for you!)
As always we'd love to hear your thoughts.

201: Low Maintenance vs. Low Effort Friendships
We're back after our break and after 10 months (!) we are back to recording on the same timezone!
We've got exciting life updates, new recommendations and of course our topic this week which feels very fitting after 10 months without seeing each other. We're chatting about low maintenance vs low effort friendships - what's the difference? What makes a friendship low maintenance and why are they so great?
Friendships change a lot in your late 20s and 30s as life priorities shift and big changes happen, we're chatting about those friendships that feel like you can pick up where you left off even after not seeing each other as well as those friendships that maybe feel a bit one-sided.
As always we'd love to hear your thoughts.
