    Episode 4: “Chameleons, Carpentry, and a Christmas Cheer”
    2024/12/24
    In this week’s double-length Living Intentionally with Sophie and Matt, the couple reflects on 2024 with one eye on the past and one eye on the future – like philosophical chameleons. Sophie unveils plans to tackle carpentry and Pilates in January, while Matt excitedly signs up for a sewing class (watch out, fashion world!). The pair discuss the importance of writing bucket lists but warn against turning them into “middle-class Bali bingo.” Along the way, they recall soggy camping trips, neighbourly wine exchanges, and awkward market stalls. Matt also laments the lack of enthusiasm for his cinema birthday idea. Packed with tangents and tender musings, this episode is equal parts chaos and charm.

  • Episode 3: “Soap, Storms, and Seasonal Shenanigans”

    Episode 3: “Soap, Storms, and Seasonal Shenanigans”
    2024/12/16
    In this week’s Living Intentionally with Sophie and Matt, the duo navigates their ongoing quest for eco-friendly dish soap, festive DIY disasters, and the subtle art of pilfering greenery (legally, of course). Sophie’s orange-drying experiment led to mulled wine success, while Matt took “storm cleanup” to new levels by adopting fallen tree branches as indoor Christmas décor. They also discovered a refillery shop in progressive Abergavenny and gushed over the perfect gingerbread-scented soap. With board game mishaps, neighbourly wine exchanges, and philosophical musings on intentional living, this cosy episode proves that even the smallest acts can make life feel festive and meaningful.

  • Episode 2: "Pantries, Protein, and Potatoes—Oh My!"

    Episode 2: "Pantries, Protein, and Potatoes—Oh My!"
    2024/12/09
    In the second episode of Living Intentionally with Sophie and Matt, the duo dives headfirst into the world of mindful food habits. From Sophie’s deep disdain for supermarket carrot cake to Matt’s borderline obsession with tinned goods (because, apparently, there’s always room for more chickpeas), this episode serves up a mix of practicality and hilarity. They explore meal prep adventures, sing the praises of granola-making, and debate whether public egg consumption is socially acceptable. With tangents about buttery carrots and pandemic pantry nostalgia, this chat is as comforting as Matt’s rice-and-tuna concoction—cheap, cheerful, and unexpectedly delightful.

  • Episode 1: "Why Are We Doing This?"

    Episode 1: "Why Are We Doing This?"
    2024/12/02

    In their debut episode, Sophie and Matt bumble charmingly into podcasting, armed with big ideas, good intentions, and no clue how to stay on track. They explain why they decided to start Living Intentionally with Sophie and Matt —partly to be productive, partly to hold themselves accountable, and mostly because Chinese takeaway and Netflix weren't cutting it as life goals.


    Between philosophical detours (“Can cinnamon save the world?”) and community musings (“Why don’t we buy eggs from the nice café?”), they explore the overwhelming pressures of modern life and how small, intentional changes—like composting or walking more—can make a big difference. Packed with tangents, laughs, and the occasional deep thought, Sophie and Matt kick off their journey toward a more sustainable, meaningful life.


    Next week: cheap, seasonal cooking (but definitely not cinnamon chicken).
