Join Sam and Vicki on the Positive(ish) podcast for an honest chat about whatever life throws their way, from body image battles to mental health moments, PMS to pizza - all while trying to stay positive… ish.

17/05/2022

As you know we recently took quite a long break over Easter, and we won’t lie - we loved it! It gave us a chance to focus on other work, have some down time and reflect on the podcast.

We realised just how blooming hard we’ve been working on Positive(ish) and as much as we love having deep conversations with amazing guests and generally spreading good vibes, it does, of course, require a lot of time, work and commitment.

Myself, Sam and our producer Andy all came to the conclusion that we just couldn’t fit the podcast in anymore. Other work has picked up for us, which is great, but it means we just can’t commit to Positive(ish) in the way that we did when we launched in lockdown. Myself and Sam have a lot of really exciting writing work on our plates and Andy has landed his dream football coaching job, so we’re all living our best lives and we can thank Positive(ish) for helping us get to this point.

But if we’re being honest, running the podcast has actually become quite stressful for us. So we’re taking our own Positive(ish) advice and saying no to burnout. We are going to go on a hiatus. We’re not saying goodbye forever, but we are saying goodbye for now. You’ll still be able to listen to all of our previous episodes and I’m sure we’ll still be dropping in here and there on our Insta but we probably won’t be as present.

We really want to express our eternal gratitude for all of your incredible support. Thanks for listening and sharing. It feels like we’ve created such a lovely, authentic and genuinely positive space and we are very proud of all that the podcast has achieved.

We’d also like to thank all of our wonderful guests that have joined us for a DMC. We love and appreciate all of you.

We hope you understand and continue to strive for positivity with a big dose of honest reality in true Positive(ish) spirit.

Vicki, Sam and Andy ###

We love this idea from Megan Shallow of BNL Media Consulting about the power of social media.

While we haven't really been able to meet all of you in person, given that our podcast was born in lockdown, we've really enjoyed creating this special community and seeing how the positive messages of our episodes and online content have found their way into your offline lives - and ours too! We ❤️ our Positive(ish) family.

Check out our episode On The Grid with Megan Shallow on our website (https://www.positiveish.co.uk/episodes-1) or by searching for Positive(ish) on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, etc.

🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🚨 We're heading back to Canada this week with our amazing guest Megan Shallow to talk all things social media!

Megan is an incredible entrepreneur, social media wizard, fellow podcaster and all-round superwoman. While running her own social media agency (BNL Media Consulting) she has helped so many small businesses grow and discovered how to navigate the do's and don't's of these tricky websites. And she shared lots of her wisdom with us - how lucky are we?!

Megan was so lovely and warm and open with us, which made the conversation such a huge joy. Make sure you go check out the episode for a fun, friendly convo with loads of super helpful social media tips too!

You can find the episode on our website - https://www.positiveish.co.uk/episodes-1 - or by searching 'Positive(ish)' on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, etc.

Is it music? Film? Books? Art? Podcasts? People? Places?

We hope this episode inspires you to get up and start turning that inspiration into whatever you want it to be!

Well, that was a lovely little holiday! But now we're back, and we've got a brand new episode for you...

This week, the two of us are talking all about inspiration. We chat about the people, places and pop culture that inspire us, from our friends and family to films and music.

We thought it'd be nice to come back with something uplifting, and we really hope you enjoy it. Oh, and thanks so much for bearing with us - we hope you had a fabulous Easter and bank holiday!

Happy Easter everyone! 🐰

We hope you're having a chocolicious day and enjoying the bank holiday weekend.

As we mentioned earlier in the week, we're taking an Easter break at the moment and, because all of our lives have suddenly become stupidly busy, we're extending that break just a little.

It's been pretty stressful over at Positive(ish) HQ for the past month or two, so we've decided to give ourselves an extra few weeks off to relax and get other things ticked off our to-do lists before the podcast comes back.

We've got plenty of new episodes already in the bag for you and we'll be back to releasing them next month, so don't go anywhere! In the meantime, we hope you have a lovely few weeks and we'll see you all again very, very soon. Lots of love! x

12/04/2022

This week, we're doing something a bit different...

We're taking some time off and giving ourselves an Easter break, so there's no new episode today. But we thought you still deserved some Positive(ish) in your life!

So this week, instead of a new episode, we're sharing a clip from our exclusive Patreon section of the podcast with the amazing Casey McQuillen.

We've recently introduced an exclusive bonus section of the conversation where we let loose and ask our guests some fun, silly, juicy questions - and it's a blast! This section is ONLY available to our Patreon members, but we wanted to give you a taste of what it's all about.

This hilarious story from Casey was too good NOT to share, but if you want to hear the full story - plus find out Casey's first celeb crush and her favourite karaoke song - you need to head to our website (http://www.positiveish.co.uk) and sign up to our Patreon.

You'll hear the full section from Casey's episodes, as well as past and future guests, and get a load of other special benefits too. So go on - treat yourself and become a fully-fledged Positive(ish) pal!

We'll be back with more episodes soon but until then, have a fabulous week 💖

Take a seat.

This was such a prevalent message in our conversation with Casey McQuillen (Casey McQuillen) and it rang so true for us afterwards.

We can't always fix each other's problems. We try to bring you podcast episodes that make you smile, share advice and show you that you're not alone and things get better, but we know that just listening to an hour-long conversation with us doesn't magically make it all go away.

And it doesn't fix us either! The whole reason we called the podcast Positive(ish) is because we struggle too. We're two anxious millennial women who overthink and undersleep - we're the last people in the world who have it all figured out!

So maybe we can't flick a switch, record a podcast and make it all alright. But maybe we can sit beside each other and make it all feel a little more manageable?

Listen to our chat with the incredibly inspiring Casey McQuillen now - https://www.positiveish.co.uk/episodes-1 or search Positive(ish) on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.

Just a few simple sayings, inspired by our conversation with Casey McQuillen this week, to help us feel good about ourselves.

Shutting up that negative voice is tough BUT if you argue with it enough, it'll eventually learn to zip it. Repeating some words of self-love and encouragement might not solve the problem, but we find it definitely doesn't hurt.

Be kind to yourselves this week 💖

Sunday was our anniversary which means I’ve been with Matt for FOUR YEARS! Which is kind of a big deal for me considering I’d not had a boyfriend before Matt so it’s well and truly my longest relationship.

I can’t imagine a better match for me. We have the same sense of humour, same set of values, same ambitions and same ridiculous need for our creature comforts. I never thought I’d be able to be so at ease, so myself and so goofy around a member of the opposite s*x. But all those things I used to feel insecure about are the things that Matt likes the most about me.

So I guess that’s all the more reason to be as ‘you’ as you can be. Because that’s going to attract the best match for you and also, it's much easier.

I’m so grateful to Matt and for the most hilarious, nurturing and joyful four years of my life.

❤️

Wow, have we got a treat for you this week! We're over the moon to announce that joining us on today's episode is the absolutely fantastic Casey McQuillen.

You've probably heard of Casey from her time on American Idol (!), her appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show (!!) or her current UK tour with huge singer-songwriter James Morrison (!!!). She was kind enough to chat to us from her hotel room on a night off, and she didn't hold back - we got stuck into body image, feminism, self-acceptance and confidence, and it was bloody fantastic.

Casey is a talented, beautiful, honest, down-to-earth, lovely QUEEN and it's safe to say we're now truly obsessed with her 👑

Check out Casey's music, catch her on tour (she's coming back in the autumn!) and of course, listen to the episode. Head to our website to listen: https://www.positiveish.co.uk/episodes-1 or search 'Positive(ish)' on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, etc.

We just think this quote from Sasstainable is so spot on 🌎

It really made us think about why being more environmentally conscious in any way we can is totally worth it. We loved recording this episode and learnt so much from Lordi and Taylor - from period pants to recyclable loo roll, they've got all the top tips!

It's been a bit of a rough ride recently, not gonna lie. BUT there's a reason we're called Positive(ish)!

Even when times are tough, there's always a silver lining and some hope to look forward to, and that's what we wanted to share with you today.

We know we can't always fix each other's problems, but hopefully if you're having a bit of a down day then some of these words will put a smile on your face.

Just a little reminder that healing your relationship with food can be HARD. These past couple of weeks have been a struggle for me, even though I've come on pretty far. But keep working on it, because it's worth it. I wouldn't miss out on brunch or burgers for anything 🥂 🍔

We're getting sassy this week as we chat with the lovely eco-friendly ladies over at Sasstainable ( on Insta) 💖

Best friends Taylor and Lordi have teamed up to create Sasstainable, an account where they share their journey towards a more sustainable life and ways we can all be kinder to the planet.

What we really loved about Taylor and Lordi (other than just how genuinely sunny and positive they are) is that they're super honest. They're making changes, but they're also making mistakes along the way and sharing those with us so we can all learn how to be greener together.

We talked about 'sasstainable' approaches towards food, skincare, recycling, period products and so, so much more - make sure you check it out on our website: https://www.positiveish.co.uk/episodes-1 or search 'Positive(ish)' on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, etc.

What helps you when you're feeling stressed?

We talked all about stress in our episode this week, including the things that help us cope when we're feeling under pressure.

These are just a few of our top tips, and we hope you find them useful - but we want to hear from you. Is there anything we missed that you would recommend? Have any of these tips worked for you? Let us know your advice for handling stress in the comments 👇

Since it’s Mother’s Day on Sunday I wanted to share my favourite picture which is of course of me and my mum.

It was a chilly day at the beach and I can actually remember my mum wrapping me up in her coat to keep me warm. A perfect metaphor for how she cares for me to this day.

My mum is amazing and I’m so grateful for everything she does for me including still french plaiting my hair at 28, all the DIY tips, supporting me at every single one of my ridiculous shows, cutting the crusts off my sandwiches for all those years, doing my graphics homework for me, laughing at my mishaps but always helping me get out of them and teaching me the importance of kindness and empathy. I love you mum!

What has your mum done for you that are you grateful for? Please let us know in the comments below…

🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🚨

Today's episode is about something we're both very, very familiar with - stress! If you're someone who sweats the small stuff, then you know exactly what we're talking about...

We discuss our relationship with stress (you guessed it, it's not great), how we cope under pressure, and the things that make us flip out in the first place.

We hope you enjoy this episode - luckily, it had quite a calming effect on us! Turns out talking about stress can actually help you chill out - but more about that in the episode.

This was really, really helpful for us to hear. Sometimes we get so distracted by thinking about results that we forget to enjoy the journey.

After our conversation with Andy Stanton, we have been trying our best not to worry about results and worry about the process instead - hopefully you can do the same!

We're very guilty of putting a lot of pressure on ourselves here at Positive(ish) HQ. When we're trying to be creative or productive, we often pile it on a little too much!

But these are a few of the things we're trying to take some of the pressure off. Whether that's spending more time doing things we love, worrying less about getting everything perfect, or just giving ourselves a break once in a while, it all helps!

If you put a lot of pressure on yourself too, make sure you save this post as a reminder to ease off from time to time.

Okay, I'm going to be a little self-indulgent today so just bear with me!

I've just launched yet another side project (because the podcast isn't enough!), this time to share my love of alternative music. I'm starting (insta) because, as you'll know from our episodes, music is my passion and I want to create a hub for fans like me where we can basically geek out about rock, punk, indie, emo and alt music.

I'll be using the account to share new releases, music updates, a weekly playlist, and there might even be a podcast on the way... 👀 (if I ever get round to editing it - now I know how hard producer Andy's job is!). I'll also be on there just looking to chat about my favourite music, your favourite music, and all things rock 'n' roll.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, give me a follow on Instagram at and let's hang out! 🖤💜

Let your silly side out! This week, we're joined by author Andy Stanton for our episode, Seriously Silly. Listen here: https://www.positiveish.co.uk/episodes-1

Andy is the writer behind the popular Mr Gum series of children's books and co-host of The Tumbler's W***y Podcast. We talked about comedy, creativity and, most importantly, how to have fun along the way.

We had such a laugh chatting to Andy and we hope you enjoy this super inspiring convo!

That's all we ever wanted to do with the podcast.

When we started Positive(ish), we set out to create a community where people could feel uplifted and understood. We loved spreading joy, but we also wanted to be honest about the more difficult days and share that with others going through similar struggles.

When we hear from you guys that our episodes made you smile, or resonated with you, or taught you something, it is the single most rewarding part of what we do.

Talking to Tony Terranova this week reminded us that before you can look after anyone else, you've got to look after yourself.

Tony calls it "proper selfishness" and he says it's how he gets himself in the best position to help others, including his wife, daughters and those he mentors.
