How are you feeling about your work world right now? 2020 has been a year for the history books for a number of reasons, and has presented us all with a whole myriad of challenges. In amongst those is navigating new work-life waters. Did you make a career pivot this year? Is your employer instigating a hiring freeze? Have you experienced an âaha!â moment? In todayâs episode we are sharing our own career journeys and lifting the lid on our same-but-different career paths with blogging. Ella shares why sheâs pivoted away from blogging and into a new career altogether, and Monica opens up about the multiple hats she wears outside of the blogging world.
In todayâs episode we also play âwhat to do if . . .â with career scenarios, including what to do if you have been made redundant/graduated in 2020/want to pursue a side hustle.We hope that todayâs episode can help you to find clarity, or at least comradeship, in your own career journey. As always we would love to hear your thoughts so please do drop us a line, or send us a DM.

Welcome back to a brand new season of Letâs Discuss podcast! We are so happy to be entering double digits here with you, kick starting Season 10.
Todayâs episode is a âCOVID-19 catch-upâ. Things have changed dramatically in the world since Season 9 of the show, when we were on the cusp of our first lockdown here in the UK.
Since then, the term âcorona-coasterâ has been banded about with good reason. It has been a year of many ups and downs, and today weâre sharing whatâs kept us going during this âunprecedentedâ time.
We hope youâll enjoy this weekâs episode, and let us know how you get on playing Pandemic Bingo with us!

Working from home has been the norm for both of us for many years, but given the current state of the world itâs 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.
Whether youâre well into your WFH groove or it is completely new to you, we hope that this episode will be helpful.
We have gathered all of our best advice for working efficiently from home, including tips on setting up your office space, organising your time, being productive and navigating feelings of loneliness.

When someone brings up the topic of people pleasing, do you immediately think âyep, that describes me!â? To an extent we all âpeople pleaseâ from time to time, be it saying âyesâ to something which benefits someone else, and not us, or consistently agreeing to a commitment which really isnât in our best interest.
People pleasing isnât synonymous with doing something wrong, but when your needs are knocked to the bottom of the pile time and time again, your tendency to say âyesâ all the time may need to be revisited.
In todayâs episode of Letâs Discuss podcast we address the issue of people pleasing, how it crops up in our own lives, and how we try to safeguard ourselves from people pleasing tendencies which have a negative impact.

We are so excited to welcome Monicaâs Mama Eliana to the show today, to talk all things cleaning and household upkeep.
Anyone who knows Eliana knows that amongst her many talents, she is somewhat of a superhero when it comes to keeping a house tidy, clean and organised.
For fourteen years Eliana owned and ran a guesthouse in Southampton, and (as Monica knows first-hand) it was somewhat of a military operation cleanliness-wise.
Over the years Eliana has come to be the go-to authority for her immediate circle (and her circleâs circle!) for all things housekeeping.
Mama Eliana is truly a fountain of household knowledge, and we are over the moon to welcome her to the show today to talk us through all things household upkeep, cleaning hacks and more.

Astrology has been a keen interest of Ellaâs forever, and via Ella (and other eager friends) Monica has upgraded her interest in astrology from Girl Talk horoscopes (remember those?!), to a more in-depth analysis too.
We are so happy to welcome renowned astrologer Francesca Oddie to the show today!
Francesca chats to us about what your birth chart can reveal about your innate nature, why learning about your partnerâs chart can be helpful when it comes to compatibility, and just what Mercury retrograde and Saturnâs return really mean.
If youâve ever been curious about astrology, and how it can lend you a guiding hand, we hope that this episode will be an enlightening one for you.

Welcome back to Letâs Discuss Podcast! We're so happy to be back here with you for Season 9 of the show.
As of today (Ellaâs 30th Birthday!), weâve both officially joined the 30s club. Meaning that our old tagline ânavigating life as 20-somethingsâ has had a facelift. (Along with our new logo - did you notice?!)
Weâre now simply ânavigating lifeâ!
Entering a new age decade has made us both reflect on the life lessons weâve learnt up until now.
So much so, that we thought it would be fun to put these lessons into a comprehensive list to share with you!
Cue: 30 Lessons Weâve Learnt by 30.
We hope that these lessons, mantras and mini life hacks will resonate with you too.
As always weâd love to hear your thoughts!
If youâd like to get in touch you can reach out to us on Instagram, weâre over on @LetsDiscussPodcast, or find us individually too. Monica is @MonicaBeatrice and Ella is @CocosTeaParty.

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Letâs Discuss!
Whilst we were preparing for the launch of Season 9 on April 7th this year, the shape-shifting times that weâre living in as we navigate COVID-19, prompted us to record this bonus episode for you.
Right now things are changing by the moment, and there is a huge array of emotions being felt. Amongst them: uncertainty, fear, hope, gratitude and a general sense of limbo.
Whilst we navigate these unchartered waters personally, we wanted to check in with you. To see how youâre doing.
And to talk through some of the things weâre doing to try and stay on top of our own wellbeing (mentally and physically) and productivity during this season.
We started Letâs Discuss Podcast as a way to open up the conversations we were having as friends, with you. And now, more so than ever, that sense of sharing and support is at the forefront of our minds.
We want you to feel as supported as possible right now, and like you can talk to us about how youâre getting on. Which you absolutely can! If youâd like to reach out weâre over on Instagram at @LetsDiscussPodcast, and individually you can find us on @MonicaBeatrice and @CocosTeaParty.
We hope that this bonus episode will offer some comfort to you right now.
Weâre thinking of you and your loved ones. Sending huge love your way.

There are so many milestones throughout our twenties, which we are conditioned to think that we âneedâ to hit. Degrees, moving out of home, partners, engagement, marriage, babies, promotions . . . itâs a LOT!
Itâs normal to feel pangs of jealousy as your friends, or people you know (or even people you donât 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! Weâd love to hear from you.
