Live Simply • Age Well

Friends! There’s no easy way to break the news, so I’m just going to come out with it.

Sporty and I are no longer a couple…

On YouTube, that is. 😎

In everyday life, we’re still very much joined at the hip. ❤️

What gives? 🤔

Well, we’ve decided that 2026 is the year we individuate — do our own thing, learn to be our own people outside of our incredible, awesome relationship.

And when you both work remotely and share a side hustle, there’s precious little time left over for anything other than the usual domestic bliss — i.e. tending to Mr Handsome’s every whim, washing dishes, doing the budget, cutting the lawn (or at least attempting to cut it), and cooking healthy vegan food.

Where to from here?

Sporty started a new job today 🥳 and, on the side, she’s busy creating an online biz of some kind. I’m currently looking for a full-time gig, while also writing on Substack. I’ve also joined Toastmasters again, which I’m super excited about.

As for YouTube… if Sporty never sees a camera again, it’ll be too soon. 😂
I do want to make videos again, but honestly, I’m feeling a little daunted by the thought of going it alone — hence signing up for Toastmasters again to build some confidence. 😅

We had planned a “sayonara” video but haven’t quite gotten around to it yet, so I figured I should at least acknowledge our absence and explain what’s been going on.

For now, I’ll leave you with some pics: Mr Handsome being his usual gorgeous kissable self, us on a recent train excursion to the beach, and me showing off some of our community garden spoils (how's the size of that spinach leaf?!).

Lastly — and this one’s the coolest — we met Shifa, one of our YouTube viewers, at a Toastmasters meeting a couple of weeks back. 💛

Hello friends! 👋 We need your help please! We've decided to change our name. Mostly Mindful is no longer a good fit for us. (Think tight 80s Ronald Sassoon jeans.) We've come up with three names and we'd love for you to vote for your favorite. Love, sporty, Ang, and Mr Handsome. ❤️ 😃 😃 😺

Sentimental clutter isn’t just “stuff.” It’s the hardest kind of clutter because it carries love, memory, and identity.

In our latest Substack post, Sporty shares the experience of receiving her mom’s jewelry after she passed away, and why letting go of sentimental items is so tricky. We also talk about gentle, practical ways to approach it.

Life just threw us a big curveball — health challenges + a sudden income drop = it’s full-on frugal mode. 🥦☕📚

In today’s Substack post, we’re sharing what we’ve had to cut, what we’re keeping, and how we’re making this season of less actually work.

Spoiler: it’s tougher than we expected, but not all doom and gloom. 💪✨

Hey Mostlies 👋

We’d planned to go live today with pics from Namaqualand with flower fields + picnic vibes. Unfortunately, life had other plans. Some health challenges have popped up again, and right now the priority is rest and recovery. 💛

We’re sorry to miss this chance to connect live — we were really looking forward to it! But we’ll be back soon with stories, videos, and conversations. In the meantime, thanks for being such a kind, patient community.

Take care of yourselves (and each other). 🌿

— Ang & Sporty

👗 Work Wardrobe… Now What?

Hey Mostlies 👋

Retirement (or even just shifting to a slower pace of life) isn’t only about what you gain — it’s also about what you let go of.

For many of us, that means staring down a closet full of work clothes. Suits. Heels. Blouses. The whole “work persona.”

But what happens to those clothes now? Do we keep a few? Repurpose them? Donate them?

That’s what we’re talking about in this week’s video:
👉 *Work Wardrobe, Now What?* → https://youtu.be/fFE0p6mGrqg

We’d love to hear from you:
What’s been the hardest piece of clothing for YOU to let go of?

💬 Share your story below — your answer might just inspire someone else who’s staring at their own “closet full of the past.”
