Quickie: Does 'About Time' give us the greatest life lesson of any rom-com?

As we ease out of Christmas and into that strange, reflective space before the New Year, we’re revisiting one of our favourite conversations from last year. Ash and Harriet chat Richard Curtis’ About Time, a film that somehow sneaks life’s biggest lessons into what looks like a simple rom-com. This episode shares the final moments of a longer chat, where we unpack why About Time hits so much harder than expected. From the devastatingly beautiful father and son relationship, to the idea that love stories are often found in family, memory, and the smallest everyday moments, this one stays with you. If you’re doing a bit of New Year thinking, planning, or gentle manifesting, this is a beautiful place to start. And if it leaves you wanting more, the full episode is waiting for you too.
