It’s the final show of 2024. Lauren and Nicole discuss their mutual hatred of Elf on the Shelf and their plans for what they’re doing over Christmas. Lauren’s imaginary friends are coming to her Christmas Eve party, whilst Nicole will be away on holiday (but she’s still annoyed she didn't get an invite.) There’s a Christmas quiz, plus an update on what shows are going out over the holidays and what’s happening in January.

With Christmas very nearly upon us the weight of consumerism is rife and we would not be at all surprised if you are feeling stress and pressure as the festive season rolls in. As always at SCC we wanted to bring you some great practical tips for Christmas to help you out so we are re-releasing this classic episode from Christmas 2022. 

In this episode they discuss:

• What is a minimalist mindset? 
• How to handle the different types of clutter - physical, digital and emotional 
• The benefits of adopting a minimalist mindset 
• What you can bring into your life when you declutter it 

Our expert for this week is Chris Lovett - author of Discovery of Less. Minimalist, author, speaker and simplicity coach. He says “most of us have too much clutter, We may not be fully aware of it but it’s there. Anything physical, digital, mental or emotional that gets in the way of achieving our goals and living a fulfilling life. That could be material possessions, letting go of self sabotaging stories about yourself or quitting a job you hate and getting one that you love. We are all absolutely Stuffocated” 

Big thanks to Chris for his time and expertise this week.

What do you want? A little question that can cause a lot of anxiety. But, it’s probably one of the most important things we can ask ourselves. 

Christmas is a time when many women are overwhelmed, overburdened and exhausted. The mental and physical load of carrying everything can be huge.

We become so bogged down in getting the to-do list done, there isn't a moment to consider your own desires. So today is that moment. 

In this episode they discuss:

• Why it’s important to know what it is you want.
• How to start feeling that you deserve what you want
• How asking and not getting leaves you no worse off than you already are.

This week Lauren & Nicole are going on a silent retreat …Shhhhhhhh!

Silent retreats are immersive experiences where participants engage in prolonged periods of silence. They are designed to promote introspection, mindfulness, and a deeper connection with oneself, often incorporating practices like mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and nature walks. The absence of verbal communication allows people to detach from the distractions of daily life, creating a greater sense of peace and clarity.

To help us this week we enlisted Jo Kaye who is a Mindfulness Coach and Trainer. She hosted the retreat and joins us on the show to unpack the experience with us. 

In this episode they discuss:

• Why we are so uncomfortable without distractions
• What happens when we tune into ourselves
• The power of slowing down
• How mindfulness supports our wellbeing. 
•
