Working from home has been the norm for both of us for many years, but given the current state of the world it’s a working setup that many people are new to. We happened to record this episode just before lockdown was enforced in the UK, and now the timing for it could not feel more poignant.

We’re over the moon to welcome artist Nina Brooke to the show today! Nina is an artist whose work we’ve admired for a long time — indeed Ella owns one of her beautiful beach prints — and we were thrilled when Nina agreed to come onto the show to discuss her career journey, advice for fellow artists, as well as tips for exploring her home area of Cornwall.
info_outlineThere are so many milestones throughout our twenties, which we are conditioned to think that we ‘need’ to hit. Degrees, moving out of home, partners, engagement, marriage, babies, promotions . . . it’s a LOT!
It’s normal to feel pangs of jealousy as your friends, or people you know (or even people you don’t know!) achieve certain things.
Whatever the circumstances, jealousy is not a nice feeling, and today we are exploring how we can navigate feelings of envy. And how can we reframe our jealousy in a more positive way?
On the flip side, what can you do when you feel like your friends are being resentful of your successes?
As always, feel free to leave us a comment on our Instagram account and share your experience with us! We’d love to hear from you.

“Having unmet expectations gets me every time. I’m working on this. I have to let go, I have to accept when things don’t go according to my plan or timeline, and I have to make an effort to still be happy regardless of these circumstances. Don’t get me wrong. I allow myself to cry and be sad. It’s OK to be heartbroken, it’s OK to cry and not want to get out... For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
