Why Do I Hate My Body? An Honest Conversation About Body Image

Why Do I Hate My Body? An Honest Conversation About Body Image

Body image but make it honest! This week, we skip the toxic positivity and have the real conversation: beauty standards that are designed to keep moving, the comparison spiral social media creates, Viktoriia's school bullying experience, and why "I'll be happy when I lose weight" keeps you stuck.  Plus: practical tips that actually make sense - from auditing your feed to asking yourself whether you actually want the lifestyle behind the body goal!

Should I Have Kids? Two Women, Two Different Answers

One of us wants children. The other is intentionally childfree. Today we're finally having the conversation properly - no judgment, just honesty. We get into the financial reality of raising kids in the UK, what it really means to pause a career, the pressure (spoken and unspoken) that women still face around this question, and what a full life looks like on both sides of the decision. Whatever you choose, or whatever chooses you - we just want women to feel like it's actually a choice.

What Is Manifestation Really? Vision Boards, Worthiness & Doing the Work

What does manifestation actually mean — and does it really work? In this episode, we get honest about the thing everyone's talking about but nobody fully explains. We dig into Viktoriia's vision board practice, the book that reframed how she thinks about manifestation, and why the missing piece for most people isn't strategy — it's whether they genuinely believe they deserve what they're asking for. We cover: • Why manifestation isn't about wishing — it's about clarity, alignment, and action • What vision boards actually do (and why the ritual matters) • The gap between intention and doing the work • Manifestation vs. goal setting — is there even a real difference? • What to do when the things you wanted just… don't happen Whether you're a sceptic, a true believer, or somewhere in between, this is the honest conversation about manifestation, the law of attraction, and mindset that we wish someone had with us sooner. 📖 Book mentioned: Make It Happen — Manifest the Life of Your Dreams Alexa's gratitude journal: https://www.intelligentchange.com/products/the-five-minute-journal-ditsy-rose Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/MatchaMorningClub] FOLLOW US HERE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matchamorningclub TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@matchamorningclub YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@matchamorningclub

Too Busy to Stop: An Honest Conversation About Intentional Rest

When did being busy become a personality? In this episode, we get honest about our own complicated relationships with rest — the guilt, the scrolling, the wellness trends we tried and quietly abandoned. We dig into what intentional rest actually means (no, it's not just sleep), explore the science behind why your nervous system is begging you to slow down, and share the small, unglamorous rituals that genuinely restore us. Consider this your permission slip to stop.
