Keep Her Lit

**Merry Christmas!** We're embracing unexpected new beginnings in December, reminding ourselves to schedule in some Time For Doing Nothing, Rosie's reading true crime and Paula's practicing her "yoga teacher stance".

Autumn is here, the leaves are changing and we're embracing a fresh start. Rosie has gone (sort of) straight edge for September and Paula's conquering her Bad Vegetarianism. Plus we chat about books like To Shake The Sleeping Self and Just Eat It, and celebrate our joint adoration for Someone Great on Netflix... watch it!

Welcome to Keep Her Lit! This month, it’s Rosie’s last recording in Dublin before she packs her bags for a year in Galway. On that note, we’re talking about the work that goes into sustaining a friendship and figuring out how to find the joy amongst all the stressful moments. Plus a brief flirtation with a keto diet (keto... it’s not me, it’s you), the real meaning of the world “cosy” and why we can’t stop talking about Booksmart.

This month we're exploring the intention of non-attachment and the idea of taking things as they are, including turning 30! Paula talks about embarking on yoga teacher training, and Rosie ponders her Qi Gong experience. We also chat about our favourite recent podcast listens, and The Five People You Meet in Heaven.

Welcome to Keep Her Lit! We're Rosie Plunkett and Paula Lyne. We like to talk. A lot. And we hope the things that fill us up will spark something in you too. This month... when the intention you set is to do things with intention, how does that play itself out IRL? Plus Paula has *questions* about pubic hair grooming, and Rosie's been struggling with sticking to the homework on her mindfulness course (brushing your teeth mindfully is tough, y'all). Each month, we'll be setting our intention for the month ahead, and bringing you a joyous mix of body talk, book talk, TV talk and everything else talk.
