SHOWNOTES

30 DAY CHALLENGE

POMODORO-ING MY FACE OFF: Lianne used the Pomodoro technique religiously, and it still works like a charm.

HOLIDAY PICTURES: Andrew’s holiday got postponed so he didn’t do this one.

We have an interesting discussion on the concept of 30-day challenges and actual long term habit change. More on that next episode.

BOOK OF THE MONTH

This month we do a What A Time To Be Alone review: Chidera Eggerue’s What A Time To Be Alone: the Slumflower’s guide on why you’re already enough! You can buy it here* for only 15 euros: I have this hardcover (Lianne) and it’s GORGEOUS.

If you wanna know more about Chidera: Her Vogue interview is really profound and her Twitter is my gospel.

Great @theslumflower Twiter threads: Mixed Signals & Loving yourself 

She did the Slumflower podcast for a while too, by the way.

Favorite quotes:

  • “Where there is peace, allow it to reign.”
  • “Minding your business is the new black”
  • “You cannot form a solid bond without vulnerability.”
  • “People with low standards are always the first to tellyou you are asking for too much.”
  • “You are the key, feel free to leave.”
