Hello, Pottletas. I hope you're well. In this week's episode I speak to Arja Barber about the three

things she wishes she had been taught in school. Namely, that consumption is a trap, the real history

of the world and colonisation and how to manage money. Arja is a writer and a fashion consultant

who specialises in writing about sustainable fashion and helping you buy better. She also has a

book coming out later on this year. I love speaking to Arja and I really hope you enjoy listening.

As always, please do wait with you and subscribe. Bye!

And right now it's just like, you know, like I just want to say I'm holding space for you.

If you're struggling as well, do not feel like you are alone at all of this. Like,

we take each day one step at a time and this is a particularly rough time period within our

entire life, basically. How have you, if you've suffered a long time, if you've got better at

sort of managing it and like, because I love the way you're so forthcoming when we put this in,

you're like, I'm going through kind of like a depressing time. So I want to, you know, I do this.

I found that I love it when people are really open about what mood they're on or what how they're
