This one is kind of all over the place, but we hope you enjoy as you continue to follow us along all the changes going through our lives.

We chat through Leila's life in Riyadh and the struggle to find a gym - which leads us into a discussion about women only gyms. Talk through the stress of trying to ship all of Leila’s belongings to Beirut. Then compare the two deserts we are living in, Riyadh and Salt Lake.

Going into business talk, we cover a range of topics from American PTO to the pros/cons of freelance work. Focusing in on changes we’ve made to Honeycomb Studios & how we are feeling with the business moving into the last few weeks of the year.

Listen along as we catch up and give you a peek behind the curtain to the realities of two long distance co-founders taking the Classical Pilates world by storm.

The hardest part of moving? It's not the boxes. It's figuring out which parts of yourself don't make the trip.

We're swapping notes on what it was like to leave London—the goodbyes that stretch on forever, and how a student strike almost killed my visa but ended up giving me an extra month that completely changed everything. Rosie landed in Utah, and Leila in Riyadh. The girls quickly dive into the realities of working in the Middle East: sponsorship rules, why company control in the Gulf can box you in, and just... life.

Then we talk about what it actually takes to build a life from scratch.

Freelance freedom is great until you realise how much you miss those random co-worker moments. A quiet studio is perfect for work, but it doesn't always fill you up, you know? So we get into how you find your people on purpose—5 a.m. run clubs, working from coffee shops, classes that feel like gathering spaces.

We also get into something bigger: Leila's dreams of creating space in the Middle East for women to run, lift, do HIIT, and still have access to classical Pilates. It's not about throwing out the method—it's about expanding what strength looks like and who gets to be strong.

And we pull back the curtain on Honeycomb Studios. Why we kept pricing simple, why there's a small paywall (to protect people's time, honestly), and what we're actually building: an oral history archive, real cross-studio learning, fewer gatekeepers in classical Pilates.

If you're moving, trying to balance love and work, or just trying to find your people in a new place—this one's for you. And if it lands, we'd love it if you could follow the show, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and leave a review. Your feedback literally shapes what we do next.

The episode starts with a cheese debate and lands somewhere far more meaningful: we’re reshaping Sticky Notes, racing toward the Honeycomb Studios launch, and welcoming our friend Sarah - an opera-trained singer forging her solo singing project, Sable Row - for a candid, funny, and unfiltered look at building a creative life.

Sarah opens up about body image, early diet culture, and the hard lessons of keto at sixteen. We trace the arc from chasing smaller numbers to chasing stronger habits: lifting, cycling, 10Ks, and the quiet pride of finishing what you start. The conversation turns on a key shift - confidence rooted in consistency and community rather than size - and the mental clarity that follows when training becomes a lifestyle. If you’ve wrestled with yo-yo habits, comparison, or the pressure to “look the part,” this one will land.

We also get practical about creative branding and social media without selling your soul. Sarah and Leila break down how to post sustainably on TikTok, why authenticity beats perfect edits, and when to outsource vs DIY. Along the way, we talk team dynamics, dreaming big vs. doing daily, and how the right people become the net under every leap.

There’s a teaser for Birdies & Bombs, a golf-fitness venture with a wild origin story we’ll unpack in part two, and a promise to keep this space playful: yes, a theme song is coming (Thank you Sable Rowe). If you’re a creator, founder, instructor, or just someone trying to build healthier habits and a braver life, press play, share this with a friend, and tell us the one big scary goal you’re daring to say out loud. And if this resonated, subscribe, leave a review, and help us grow this little world.
