What's On Your Mind S7 E10 - Olive
Festive Vibes, Magnesium Mistakes And Year-End Reflections | What’s On Your Mind S7 Ep10
In this episode of What’s On Your Mind with DJ Val and Olive:
Christmas decorations, colours and trees
Red trees, white trees, natural vs artificial, tinsel everywhere and the case of the collapsing candy canes in the studio
Budget talk without the politics lecture
Quick reaction to the Autumn budget, everyday impact for working families, and a nudge to check how the changes actually affect you
Smart Christmas planning and gifting
Aldi vs Lidl for Christmas food prices, using Elfster for Secret Santa and family gift exchanges, and why planning early kills that “rushed off my feet” feeling
Magnesium done right
Why magnesium is vital, which foods and drinks block its absorption (fibre, phytic acid, oxalates, alcohol, caffeine, fizzy drinks), and why timing matters more than you think
Rethinking end-of-year goals
Switching from perfection to progress, reframing “I’ve failed” into “I’ve grown,” and seeing success through God’s lens rather than comparison
Reflection, grace and gratitude
How to restock your goals with hope and grace, deal with imposter syndrome, and end the year with gratitude instead of guilt
Christmas shout-out call
Olive and DJ Val invite you to send in special shout-outs for loved ones so they can celebrate them on the end-of-year shows
If you’re feeling a bit behind, a bit tired or just trying to plan Christmas without losing your mind, this one will help you pause for the cause, breathe, and reset.
