City Life vs Country Life – Are Louise &...

Astrid
About this episode

Happy New Year! Louise and Ryan are back with a debate which may shape what 2025 looks like for them…


Ryan shares his dreams of getting a home outside of London and why a slower life is on the cards for his future, whilst Louise argues for the bustling adventures city life can bring and all the things she’d miss about living in the capital. 


Plus, the pair dive into a listener submission from a 25 year old who feels like she’s behind compared to all of her peers.
