This podcast is recorded on Gadigal land. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land. Hey, chicks, I'm Al. And I'm Sal. And this is Two Broke Chicks, the show that shares life lessons and tips to help make you rich. In life. Mm-hmm. So how are you, Sal? Fabulous little week. Fabulous little week. Fabulous little week. What's the tea? What's the goss? It's May. It's going to be May.
Chapter 2: What are the signs of hurry sickness?
It's May.
It's May. I'm going to make that my bloody wallpaper.
It's May.
It's going to be May. May is such an odd month to me. Really? Yeah, it's kind of a bit of like a... A bit of a nothing for us. Yeah. By that I mean like because we don't have that many friends whose birthdays are in May. Yeah. Whereas in every other month of the year I feel like there's a lot going on. I feel like May... It goes like always goes really quickly. And I'm like, what happened?
Chapter 3: How can we identify our window of tolerance?
Yeah. Like you blink and you miss it. Do you know what is happening in May? Off campus is dropping. So that's where I'll be. Wow. All eight episodes in one day. Is that your obsession? Prepare to be thick of me.
Wow.
I'm so excited. But it's fine. It's fine. I think a lot of people are hyped. There's been a lot of chat going on about it on the internet with the premiere and everything.
Chapter 4: What are practical ways to calm your nervous system?
Well, speaking of obsessions, we might as well just get straight into that. So do you want to tell me what your obsession of the week is?
Mm-hmm.
My obsession of the week, I actually was talking to you guys about this in the office earlier this week. Teaser. Teaser. Teaser. But it's some new luggage that I bought from Strand this week.
So I mentioned at the end of last year and I think at the time I was planning to buy it during Black Friday and then I didn't end up finding exactly what I wanted so I thought I'd hold off and save my money because luggage is one of those like pieces that I feel like I truly invest in. And I usually keep it for like 10 years plus unless it gets stolen from my storage cage, which is what happens.
I bought some new luggage from Strand Bags from Nair and it's the story luggage that we've owned before, but they've released it in new colors and they have it in this chocolate brown, but also in a light brown as well. Yeah. So I went for the chocolate brown and I'm so excited because I love having a set of matching luggage.
But also previously all of my luggage had been black, which is great because it obviously gets scuffed up and everything when you're traveling and when it's on the carousel.
um but it's so hard to spot your bag on the carousel when it's coming around when it's black so I felt like the dark brown was a really good option because it won't get as dirty but it'll still be recognizable and strand bags do this isn't an ad by the way but I just want to shout it out strand bags do up to 40% off luggage all the fucking time I love it yeah so I got this luggage for 40% off

Chapter 5: How does active noticing help with anxiety?
So good. So good. And he had a little birthday voucher as well, which makes it free. Exactly. Yeah. I literally ended up spending like I think maybe just over $200 on a full set of luggage. That's insane. Yeah. That's so good. Okay. My obsession of the week is this new survey from YouGov that actually shares the top 10, well,
Ooh.
So I'm going to share the top ten reasons why couples argue. Did you want to have any guesses?
Money.
Chapter 6: What role do doorbell friendships play in reducing stress?
Okay. Parents. Ooh. Children. Ooh. And marriage. Okay. Good guesses.
Because is it married couples or just couples?
Yeah, couples or just couples.
Okay. I'm excited. Number ten, they left their wet tail on the floor. Ooh. They didn't make you coffee in the morning.
Chapter 7: How can reading impact mental health?
Break up. Okay, number 10, sex. Okay, yep. Number nine, how you argue. Couples argue about how they argue. That's amazing. That's me. Yeah. Number eight, health or lifestyle decisions. Number seven, life decisions. Number six... The amount of quality time spent together. Number five, relationships with family. Yeah.
Your fucking mother.
Chapter 8: What are the benefits of taking breaks and resting?
Exactly.
Number four, household chores. Why didn't I get that? Number three, communication styles. Yeah, okay. And I feel like you could probably put like miscommunication of love languages into that, I reckon. Yeah, that almost relates to the argument styles too. Number two... What do you think it's going to be? Kids? Wanting to have kids? Money. So you had that one.
Like money is such a common thing that people argue about. Yeah, I thought that was going to be number one. Number one. The number one reason why couples argue... Tone of voice or attitude? Ooh. It wasn't what you said. It was how you said it. Put that shit on a shirt. Yeah, facts. Lower your fucking tone, bitch. That's true. Yeah. Wow, there you go. Seriously.
That was not what I expected, but makes sense when you think about it. I know. And younger couples tend to argue about money and communication styles and chores more, while older couples are more likely to clash over family relationships and life decisions. Yeah. But averaged out, tone came out the top. And I was like, shit, that's actually very accurate. Yeah, shit. Yeah. I love that.
I love that YouGov did a study on that. Being like, why you guys be fighting so much? Pull up that stat the next time you're having a tiff with your boyfriend. Yeah. Like, it's your tone. Yeah. It's not what you said. It's the way you said it. It's science. Yeah. Okay? It's not just me. How many times do you, no, it's probably just me. You're actually a normal person.
I was going to say, how many times do you reckon in a year you say, do you even love me anymore? I probably say. The limit doesn't exist. I just say it when I want attention. Do you even love me anymore? What's wrong, gorgeous? Bless him. Seriously. We have a new bedtime routine, not sexy, be with me, where I fling all the covers off the bed and I make him make the bed with me in it.
Oh, like to really tuck you in? Yeah. Chris tucks me in sometimes. Yeah, it's great. It's amazing. It's 10 out of 10. Really got to scooch all the covers in all around you, tuck you.
feed in we're just adult babies yeah yeah yep no complaints well on that note talking about bedtime we actually have a very fun little episode in store today it's one of the topics that we've been wanting to talk about For a while, I reckon. And it's how to calm your nervous system. Yeah. So let's get stuck into kind of the context and the reason why first. And that would be urgency culture.
So Sal, talk us through what is urgency culture? Yeah. Urgency culture is like the constant rush and expectation to be on that a lot of us experience. And it applies to both your professional and personal life. It can show up in a lot of different ways depending on your context and your lifestyle.
