This week on Life Academy, we hit pause on the big themes and take a moment to check in with each other (and with you). It’s a much-needed life update and brain dump, where nothing is too small, too big, too chaotic, or too TMI. We debrief on everything from Dena’s recent car accident (she’s okay, but wow…) to Alicia’s ongoing house reno saga, to mum life highs and lows, and a bunch of little things in between. Think of this episode as a deep exhale for us, and hopefully for you too. Whether you’re folding laundry, driving, or sneaking some solo time, settle in for a raw and real catch-up between two women navigating life’s lessons with a bit of humour and a lot of honesty. In this episode: 🚗 Dena’s car accident and the spiritual ending. 🛠 Alicia’s never-ending house reno 👶 Mum life: mental loads, milestones & moments of madness 🧠 Our brain dumps: what's been on our minds lately ☕️ Catching up without an agenda and why that matters Follow us at www.instagram.com/denaamy [www.instagram.com/denaamy] www.instagram.com/aliciabanit [www.instagram.com/aliciabanit] www.instagram.com/lifeacademythepodcast [www.instagram.com/lifeacademythepodcast] https://www.tiktok.com/@lifeacademythepodcast [https://www.tiktok.com/@lifeacademythepodcast] Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FY3kDRxvQ/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FY3kDRxvQ/] Watch us on YouTube www.youtube.com/@LifeAcademyThePodcast [www.youtube.com/@LifeAcademyThePodcast] Dreamwork and Recommendations: Infrared Saunas ( Recovery Lab & P3 ) Dissh Jeans www.dissh.com.au [www.dissh.com.au] Give your bestie a debrief call!
