    Cherry Blossoms & Awkward Conversations | NattyShedLife Podcast

    Something a little different this week on the pod 🎙️ No single topic, no fixed agenda: we're catching up with Cara and Nic on the last few weeks. The good, the brutal, and everything in between. From crashing the truck mid-burnout, to a surprise Paint & Sip class, to the difficult conversation at work that nobody wanted to have (but really needed to). Sometimes life's a bit too full for a neat theme. This is one of those episodes. 🎙️ About NattyShedLife NattyShedLife is where we share the stories, people, and lessons that shape Gillies & Mackay.

    Make Time For Yourself, Because Nobody Else Will | NattyShedLife Podcast

    When did you last do something just for you? Not for the kids, not for your partner, not for work. Just for you. In this episode, Cara and Nicola get into the thing nobody gives you permission to do – to carve out time and space for yourself. What does that actually look like in practice? Why is it so hard to know what you want, after years of putting everyone else first? But what happens to you (and everyone around you) when you don't get it? Society isn't built for it. Your to-do list won't allow it. But you have to find it anyway. 🎙️ About NattyShedLife NattyShedLife is where we share the stories, people, and lessons that shape Gillies & Mackay.

    Our Kids Didn't Consent to This | NattyShedLife Podcast

    Last episode we talked about what social media does to us. This time, we're talking about what it's doing to our kids. 👧📱 From the two-week detox update, to the very real damage being done to children's self-esteem, mental health, and ability to think for themselves – you better believe we have thoughts on social media. How do you protect them when the platforms are designed to keep them hooked? When the rules keep changing? And when they'll find a way in regardless? We're part of the generation that was handed this technology as a gift and promised it was going to change the world for the better. Now we're watching our kids grow up inside it, and we're seeing what it's doing to them. A reckoning is coming, and it's not going to be pretty. 🎙️ About NattyShedLife NattyShedLife is where we share the stories, people, and lessons that shape Gillies & Mackay.

    Social Media: Who Are You Without It? | NattyShedLife Podcast

    We'd like to say that we've got a love-hate relationship with social media – but honestly, it's mostly hate. In this episode, Cara and Nicola get into the doomscrolling and the algorithms – the way it's changed from something that was supposed to bring us closer together, and how it's turned into something that controls us at best, and rips us apart at worst. We're not here to tell you to delete the app. But – ask yourself: who are you when you're not filling up the space with everyone else's noise? 🎙️ About NattyShedLife NattyShedLife is where we share the stories, people, and lessons that shape Gillies & Mackay.

    In the Brené Bubble: Leadership, Vulnerability & Doing the Work | NattyShedLife Podcast

    In this episode of NattyShedLife, we talk about the woman who has shaped the way we lead, parent, communicate and live: the one, the ONLY Brené Brown. After travelling to Dublin to see her speak, this episode became something more than a conference recap – it's a reflection on the impact Brené's work has had on us, on Gillies & Mackay, and on the way we show up every day. From Dare to Lead and Strong Ground, to vulnerability, emotional regulation and systems thinking – Brené’s work has fundamentally changed how we understand not only leadership, but ourselves as humans. This episode is in one part a love letter to Brené, and in the other – our wholehearted encouragement for anyone who hasn’t yet stepped into the Brené bubble. If you’re willing to do the work – it will work for you 🧡 🎙️ About NattyShedLife NattyShedLife is where we share the stories, people, and lessons that shape Gillies & Mackay.

    Goals, Mortality & the Moon 🌙 | NattyShedLife Podcast

    This season, we’re doing things differently. This season we’re exploring some bigger themes – with space for conversations and stories about the real stuff that actually shapes our lives. In this episode, we talk about GOALS – how easy it is to mess them up, how we’ve learned to reflect better, and why mortality might be the most powerful motivator of all 💀 This isn’t about becoming a new person every new year, but simply being more intentional with the one life you actually have.
