Hello friends.

Grab a chair, grab your drink.

You are listening to the Close Friends podcast

where we hit record on our in real life conversations

about surviving, thriving and diving headfirst into life as millennials, trying to be successful,

but also trying to just have a fucking good time. As ever, I am joined by my host, Sarah.

Hello, friends. And we have some news. Lucy, the wonderful Lucy Mountain, is actually

not going to be joining us this week.

She has left the pod for personal reasons.

I'm joking.

She is taking a very much needed break and we'll be back with us next week.

In the meantime, let me give you our close friend of the week.

This one goes out to, I'm going to butcher this name, a stush, a stush.

The title is, hit me baby one more time. The body of the text is, does anyone else just wish

that this podcast was double the time? Love how every episode takes me on a journey,

sometimes to visit the topics I had with my close friends,

sometimes the topics that I didn't even think of speaking about with them.

Love this thought-provoking conversation.

Thank you very much, A. Sturge, what a beautiful review.

That's wonderful.

And in Lucy's absence, we have a absolutely wonderful guest I'm really excited to introduce.

So hello to Poppy, who is the founder of Self and More.
