Episode Synopsis

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.
