On Time
On: The Sacred Pause
Season 2, Ep. 2
•
So.... We are BACK with our first proper episode for Season 2, and this one is a beauty...
Today, supported by a song that moved both Tessa and I to tears, we are discussing what it feels like to stand on the edge of a brand new chapter of life, without any idea of where it will go, and to take that brave step forwards.
We discuss the process of shedding and shifting identities, both when we changed careers, and perhaps more meaningfully when the lens through which we both saw the world took a sharp turn and left us seeing the world through completely new eyes.
We talk about the power of listening to the quiet whispers within and giving them space to speak.
We talk about forgiving ourselves for some of the more rogue life decisions that previous versions of us took.
But more of all... we talk about how this one, beautiful song had the power to crack us both open and give us the courage to move forward into the unknown.
Enjoy,
L & T

5. On: Navigating Friendships
35:21||Season 2, Ep. 5In this episode, as a follow up to our inaugural episode on 'when our friends leaving us', we are diving deeper into navigating changing friendship dynamics, from the silent quitting of friendships, the slow fades and the huge blow outs. Is there a better way to work through some of the inevitable ups and downs of female friendship, or is the quiet quit the only way forward.Enjoy,T & L x

1. On: What this podcast is all about
09:50||Season 2, Ep. 1We're BACK with Season 2 of On Time (you didn't think we'd give up after 6 episodes did you?!). Well, we took some of the feedback from Season 1 (a lot of which made us very misty eyed..THANK YOU) and decided that it was probably about time that we gave you a little context for what we're trying to do with this labour of love. So... in today's episode.. we are here to share with you our intention, our hope and our big, fat, juicy WHY behind this podcast. Our hope is that this episode helps you see the real reason why this is so important to us, and why we are so dedicated to sharing it all with you. Enjoy,L & T
6. On Approval
34:30||Season 1, Ep. 6In today's episode (one of the first episodes we recorded back in October 2022) we are talking all about what it means to be approved of, and how the desire for approval can lead our lives in directions which are potentially a far cry from what the deepest part of us really wants.We talk about how our lives, prior to making the leap to move to Mexico City, were primarily driven by this deep desire to be 'liked' and how far that lead us down some pretty weird and wonderful paths away from ourselves.Tessa also shares about her awful date, and Lucy is still recovering from a plant medicine ceremony that blew her brains out.If you're a secret, or not so secret, people pleaser... this one is for you...L & T x
5. On Aloneness and Loneliness
37:35||Season 1, Ep. 5Today we are talking about the concepts of aloneness vs. loneliness, and whether it is in fact possible to experience one without the other. It's a deeply personal episode where we explore the periods of our lives where we both felt profoundly lonely and how, despite searching for community and connection through that loneliness, the real medicine actually came from intentional periods of aloneness.This episode is for you if you're in a period of feeling disconnected or unsure of where you are going on your journey, perhaps you feel lonely despite being surrounded by others, or perhaps it feels more like a yearning for aloneness but you're battling with the fear of what that could mean for you. We loved recording this, it felt like such a powerful and needed conversation to be having and we really hope, despite the slightly sub par audio, that it provides the same salve for you as it did for both of us.
4. On making the right decision
37:14||Season 1, Ep. 4Today we are talking about what it means to make the 'right' decision. How do we know if we are making the right decision? How do we know if we are following fear, or our intuition?Tessa and I have made some pretty wild decisions over the last few years so it felt like a really live and real conversion for us to share with you. It came straight off the back of a week of Lucy feeling in turmoil about some of the decisions she'd made and whether or not they were 'right' and how this pattern shows up in perpetuity when we are living a life which is a little bit 'off' the usual trajectory.If you've ever wondered whether or not the decision you're making is the right one... this is for you...L & T x
3. On: Leaving it all behind
40:51||Season 1, Ep. 3In today's episode we answer a question we've both been asked many times over: how did you do what you did?And by "what we did" we mean the big leaps of leaving conventional (successful!) careers in banking and law to become self-employed as a coach and a writer (respectively).And then, to make matters even scarier, moving to Mexico City. A place that isn't on the standard "live overseas" bucket list for most people.We talk honestly about our inner voices whispering (and then all but screaming) at us to make some big shifts in our lives. As usual, we seem to have had almost carbon copy experience of intense fear of living an unfulfilled life. We chew through how that fear eventually manifested into action.If you have a little whispering voice nudging you to make a big change then this episode is for you.L & T x
