Bank holidays = two extra windows of opportunity to, listen, read, watch and learn. Here’s our list of recommendations to keep inspired, soothe the mind and get you talking to your people about your latest obsession.
To grow
We manifested another Roxie Nafousi book release, and WOW does this deliver. Confidence brings such a breath of fresh air when it comes to self empowerment, knowing your worth and living your truth. Bedside-table permanent.
To transport
Orbital by Samatha Harvey came around at the same time as *that* all women space trip, and to read this and be totally transported was the brain break we needed. A brilliant short novel that offers a perspective shift on our place and planet.
To laugh and learn
How to Fail by Elizabeth Day is such an insightful podcast that we’ve become huge fans of. The deeply levelling and humanising of public figures by discussing their failures is a reminder in humility, that life happens to everyone, and the stories behind the remarkable-seeming are often very ordinary. A great listen every week, with guests from every industry to inspire and educate.
To run/walk/hike to
A quick roundup of our favourite podcasts to run to has to start with Runpod by Jenni Falconer, the ever-inspo and OG of running podcasts.
For fashion, pop culture and topical issues, it’s always the Sheerluxe Team Podcast.
For thought provoking and industry insight, Working Hard with Grace Beverley.
