Keep Growing

Hey guys, On this weeks episode Mike is pretty under the weather, but we had a chat about our recent trip to the lakes which was our first little holiday of the year, which leads us into talking about the ups and downs of being self employed when it comes to slowing down or switching off! We hope you enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey guys, So we had a bit of bad news last week, our Instagram account got hacked and we were forced to delete it. This was quite a blow for us as we’d spent this whole year trying to grow it into something we felt proud of, a place for positivity and promoting our podcast and a space for us to create something together. However, would it be the keep growing podcast if we didn’t use this as an opp...

This weeks episode is a bit of a general catch up with us on what we’ve been up to, including a chat about our relationship with social media and how it’s changed as well as how we might separate ourselves from our work/art and if that’s even possible as a creative when so much of your life is consumed by your passion projects. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Howdy folks, For the last few episodes we’ve been answering some of your dilemmas and agony aunt sessions, but this time we need your advice… For the first time in a while we’ve got one of those big life changing decisions to make, and it seems like there’s no right or wrong path to take. We thought we’d use this episode to chat about some things that are going on in our lives, specifically about...

Mike and I have lived together now for the best part of 9 years, sometimes with family, sometimes with roommates and sometimes just the two of us and today we sit down to chat about “Roommate Syndrome”. What is it? Why is it a hot topic? Is it healthy etc? We dive into our own relationship and analyse how we have fallen into traps of living like roommates, but also share the things we do to keep t...

You know what time it is! It’s advice hour on the poddy. This week we got asked by a friend of ours how one might deal with the age old question of how to earn a living from your passion, and should you? What do we do when we have all these interests, hobbies, projects, passions, but our time is mostly spent doing a job we don’t necessarily enjoy because money makes the world go round? How do you...

Your agony aunt and uncle have entered the chat… We got some anonymous questions asking us for some advice about what to do when you get the feeling that you and your friends aren’t quite on the same wavelength anymore, and we try to give our thoughts and tips on how we might deal with a situation like this, but I think everyone in their 20s has definitely experienced this so you’re not alone! We...

We’re back for season 3 and this time… it’s personal! Literally, we’re getting personal by answering your anonymous questions and offering up our (non-expert) advice. We wanted a way to actually connect and communicate more with you guys and even though it’s anonymous we hope that we can provide some level of comfort or help with anything you’ve got going on, and isn’t that what these things are a...

We can’t quite believe we’re saying this… but we’ve actually landed our first podcast sponsor!! We’re so excited to share that Bean Coffee (our local independent coffee shop) has kindly sponsored the Keep Growing Podcast and we’re just totally buzzing to tell you all about them, our relationship with them (that goes back years) and some amazing things they’re doing for the community. We also talk...

We’reeeee baaaaaack! Hey guys! So this isn’t the usual start to a new season but we thought we’d use this episode as a chance to do a little weekly check-in with each other and reflect on what the past week has been like for us and see what’s been on our minds as we record our 20th episode of the podcast! There’s some exciting things that might be changing for us but we can’t reveal anything just...

It’s the last episode of our second season folks, the end of an era but the start of a new one, we’re really proud of everything we’ve talked about on the poddy as we’ve tried to be honest and open (as we always are) but in a free flowing, no topic is off subject kind of way that’s hopefully kept you company on a train ride or while you’re just out and about. In this episode we start off talking a...

Join us for another episode of Keep Growing where we fill you in on our weekend spent baking and handing out brownies in the park in the hopes of meeting some new people and sharing some positivity! We all chat about our experiences with doctors/our health and what we would do with a marble statue of ourselves and then Mike fills in the gaps of his little knowledge on the twilight movies featuring...

Welcome back to Real Talk! Today’s episode we get onto the subject of Only Fans, our opinions, thoughts and questions we don’t quite have the answers to. Why is documenting our lives on the internet so normalised, yet creating sexual content such a taboo, where did the big moral question mark even come from and what are the pros and cons to this lifestyle/job and how does that differ for men and w...

On today’s episode we delve into the culture of celebrity as it stands today, and what does being a public figure mean for individual responsibility? We also talk about influencers and try to establish what that really means in a world where anyone can have a social media presence and finally take a deep dive into our own psyches with us and talk about egos, destiny and what finding purpose looks...

She’s back guys. She made it out of her funk and came out the other side smelling like roses. Thanks for joining us for another episode of real talk today, where we have honest and frank discussions about whatever is going on in our lives at the moment. Last week Meg was feeling pretty beaten and that came across in our episode and caught us in real time having an at times conflicting conversation...

We’re back with another episode of real talk and guys, it doesn’t get realer than this… Meg hasn’t had the best couple of weeks and this episode is mostly her ranting and being a bit melodramatic about things that haven’t quite gone her way, from markets that don’t deliver, to money worries and then the constant battle to find a decent avocado in Tesco is the straw that breaks the camels back for...

Hey folks! In this episode we’re talking about the up and down week we’ve just had! Meg’s been sick, Mike’s out his back out, we’ve both lost a few days where we’ve been unable to work, exercise and do our regular routine and we’ve really felt it! We’re also taking some time to jump into Mike’s change of career path from music into comedy - our thoughts on how you might approach such a big change...

Welcome to another late show ladies and gentlemen, for a new episode of our second season here on the Keep Growing podcast titled “Real Talk” - where we discuss some hot topics that have potential to get controversial… In this episode we’re getting back late from a frenzied fun day out shopping and talking about consumerism, materialism and other isms that get us thinking, as well as discussing a...

Welcome to a new season of the Keep Growing pod, titled “real talk” - where we want to do a deep dive into some pretty divisive topics that the jury is still out on, lead us into some heated debates or give us a chance to hit home on a point that we are unshakeable on… there’ll be plenty to talk about and we’re not holding back!! As always, thanks for being here, Mike + Meg Hosted on Acast. See ac...

In this (very special) episode, we take a moment to reflect on our 10 week old podcast and chat about where we see it going in the future. We ponder the success of our last episode all about sex and intimacy, the slippery slope of content creation and only fans. There’s discussion about our personal lives and our businesses and how they’re changing, as well as a lengthy rant about buffets and barb...

This episode is brought to you by Wang+ (your wang only bigger)! Not really… it’s brought to you by us! It’s about sex, intimacy, relationships and we thought that this is a topic that can go unspoken about for so many people for much of their lives and there’s no real reason why. Having a healthy relationship with sex, masturbation, intimacy as well as boundaries and trust is so important whether...

Hey everyone, thanks for checking in with us. So today is the 1st of May, which in the UK is mental health awareness month, so we thought we’d make today’s episode all about just that. We talk about our relationship to mental health and how it isn’t as straightforward as we think, we talk about things we do every day for our mental health and how much discipline plays a part in all of it. Today al...

Letting go is hard - let’s talk about it? Letting go of friendships, toxic relationships, our past selves… life is full of letting these things go but the trickiest part is knowing when it’s the right thing to do. Someone asked us this recently and it really got us thinking so we’ve dedicated this episode to the art of letting go, we discuss reg flags, emotional dumping, when it’s time to move on...

We recently had our first troll comment, and we were honestly so happy because it got us thinking about how we personally deal with people who bring negativity into our lives or try and minimise us and put us down for trying something new and putting ourselves out there. We are so excited to share this episode because we think this affects everyone in some way, people will always find literally an...

We're back for a lighthearted episode of the Keep Growing podcast! We chat about how we've navigated our relationship of 10+ years through all sorts of chapters and phases, including the infatuation of young love as well as facing difficult and day to day challenges that arise when you're maintaining a positive relationship not just with yourself but with another person. We also answer some of you...
