Actually, This Is Not Advice

Actually, This Is Not Advice is a podcast hosted by Nadia Meli and Vienda Maria. Two elderly millennial friends from Italy/Austria/Germany/Australia/England who think their chats should be public. Sit, walk, run or fly with us while we share stories, philosophies and uncensored, (sometimes) nuanced perspectives of our experiences, thoughts and observations on everyday life and beyond (yes, we'll talk about that too). With humour, depth, honesty we'll explore how our zig-zag unique backgrounds and lifestyles inform our beliefs, choices and relationships.

    Can you be yourself without hurting someone you love?

    Question from the audience! "How can you be yourself without hurting someone you love?" Let's talk about disappointing people when you choose yourself! Did something happen in your life you want our take on? Send us your questions and we will give you a piece of our mind, but obviously, NO advice :)

    Everything we know about boundaries

    The one where we talk about everything we know about boundaries and how to set them. We share our journeys, the pendulum swing between having few to having many, and our toolbox for creating and communicating boundaries when it gets hard. Building boundaries goes against our innate human desire to be loved and accepted, so we ignore building them. It is not easy to set and communicate our boundaries, but they are essential ingredients for our health, relationships, and safety. Boundaries give us a sense of power and control over our physical space, thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

    Babies. To have, or not to have.

    The one where we speak about our personal perspectives on becoming biological mothers, our strong opinions on parenthood, IVF, and our social conditioning on women having to be mothers to be 'real women' and so much more. Please practice kindness and self-responsibility as this topic and conversation may be triggering to anyone going through IVF, or actively trying to become a parent.

    What we learned from having a personal brand

    The one where we speak about our journeys from 0 to personal brand across a decade in two varying fields: wedding photography and personal development. We address the gifts, the challenges, the highs and lows, what we love and what we struggle with and how we are moving forward from here as we navigate tremendous changes in the online field.

    How to navigate breakups

    The one where we speak to our past relationship breakups and how we moved through the grief and pain of their ending. So many things are changing all around us at the moment, including the way that we conduct ourselves in romantic intimate relationships. We reflect on what works for us and our lived experiences and explore some of the questions we receive from our listeners on the topic.

  6. Rest & community as the antidote for capitalism

    Rest & community as the antidote for capitalism

    The episode where Nadia and Vienda speak to their fatigue at 'having to do it all' as the singular individualistic culture we live in prescribes us to in order to keep consuming at the highest levels possible and what the antidote for that might be, plus how we both are slowly opting out of this narrative of the world and life.

  7. Should we separate the art from the artist?

    Should we separate the art from the artist?

    The one where we discuss if we should consume art made by problematic people? And how exactly do you define 'problematic', isn't that all of us? We often hear "it's about the art not the artist", but is it really that simple?

  8. Maybe you didn't manifest it

    06/25/2023

    Maybe you didn't manifest it

    The one where we unpack the trendy concept of manifesting and challenge it with some questions like “Did you really manifest it or were you just in a privileged position?” “Did you maybe get lucky?” “What is the chain of events that lead you to get what you want?” We explore ho we re-define it to something closer to the reality we live in. If you are as tired of it as we are, this is a conversation you don't want to miss! We would love to hear your thoughts on it below!
