Ep 132: Monday Deserves Better (And So Do You). It's Time To Give Monday The Rebrand It Deserves.

Season 3 · Ep 132

About this episode

I used to be a full-blown Sunday Blues kind of girl.

A mega Friyay countdowner - "only 4 more sleeps," "it's nearly Friday," you know the vibe.

I'd start dreading Monday from about 10am on Sunday, like a little grey cloud following me around for the rest of my weekend. Wrecking it. For me, and everyone around me. Sorry, fam bam.

Then in 2018, something clicked - and Monday's been my favourite day of the week ever since. I know how that sounds. Stick with me.

In this episode, I'm calling out the story we've all been sold about Monday - the Mondayitis, the eye-rolls, the "living the dream" sarcasm - and giving it the rebrand it's been begging for.

I'm also introducing something I'm mildly obsessed with and need your help spreading: MonYAY. You heard it here first!

Fair warning, people will think you're a bit unhinged for loving a Monday. I've been getting that reaction since 2018. Doesn't bother me one bit.

So, this episode? 20 reasons Monday deserves a lot more credit than it gets - written on my walk this morning, and honestly, more fun to write than I expected.

Tune in, steal a few reasons for yourself, and then go post a #MonYAY on your socials and tag me - it'll genuinely make my week.
