#getmerry

This week we chat to the epic man Marcus Pearce. It was a heap of fun. Marcus is such a lovely dude we have a lot of love for this man!   This is the stuff we talk about: Setting goals and why so many of us fail How to get re-motivated Human connection, self-connection Social media taking over human connection Importance of physical touch How good exercise is The relationship between lack of exercise and dementia (YES, dementia!) AND MORE! Merrymaker mantra of the week: Social media is not socialising. How much time are you spending on social media? Is it replacing in real life (IRL) connection? For us... yes it was. So we love that this topic came up and we love this mantra Marcus shared with us.  Don't get us wrong we LOVE (love love love) social media! It's bloody amazing BUT we started to use it way too much and it does have a way of getting in the way of REAL life human connection.  So if you're feeling a bit off with your relationships... where are you putting your focus? The real life people or the p

Ok, so we just got back from recording this podcast in the studio. Before that, we had coffee and delish brunch, before that we spent like 90 minutes surfing (well floating around, trying to catch waves and getting dumped), before that we did yoga.  Yeh... as you can imagine we are 100% in some kind of Merry bliss land and things get kinda cray cray in this episode. Whoops! But we're also 100% sure there are a couple of golden moments amongst the cray cray. Surely! This is what went down in Merry Land.... The Merry News update. We are in some kind of workflow river. It's pretty epic and we are way more organised than normal so this rocks.  GetMerry recipe app update. Becuase it's our fave project. Three words: Easter Chocolate Bundle.  Beauty and the Beast. How epic the movie was. We sing, just a little bit. Also how good that Disney added the multi-cultural and same-sex relationship aspect.  LOL moment Emma talks about her wedgie slide incident at White Water World. Haha. Actually such fun times! Minus the

We swear a little bit in the episode (whooooooops). We also talk over each other. But we reckon you should all go and listen! Ahh we're super pumped to share this #GetMerry episode with you all. Karly Nimmo is an amazing human and we're really beginning to realise that one of the best things about this whole Merrymaking journey is meeting the people we get to meet. Meeting amazing people doing different things who share their magic with the world. This episode is filled with a lot of laughter and conversation about some pretty big and important topics. We've kind of realised that we want to talk about the real stuff. And Karly is the real deal. We talk about stuff like... Depression and anxiety Failure Woo-woo stuff and the universe Intuition Imposter syndrome Business struggles (lack of cash flow!) Why surface level convos suck a little bit Connection and friendships Self-connection  Being you and living your truth Yoga and meditation And a heap more. Merry Mantra of the week We asked Karly to share her cu
