Growth In Progress

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) A lot has changed in the past couple of weeks and we know we aren’t the only ones in this position. We thought we’d take the time to discuss how we’ve been dealing with big changes in our lives and how we approach change, whether it’s really good news or something that’s harder to come to terms with.

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) The past few months have resulted in a lot of us changing our priorities, whether or not we've wanted to. Even when it's been necessary it hasn't always been easy so this fortnight we're discussing how our own priorities have changed recently and how we've dealt with the impact of that.

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) None of us like having difficult conversations but they’re part of life so knowing how to navigate them and prepare for them can give you the confidence to tackle them head-on. Whether it’s calling out your racist relative, asking for that pay rise, confronting a friend or leaving a job, all of these conversations can feel hard to start. We’re sharing how we approach these topics and ...

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) This week's episode is entirely dedicated to the anti-racism resources that we have found useful in the past few weeks. We know we still have a lot to do and that the list shared below is far from exhaustive but it's a good place to start. Becoming actively anti-racist and being an ally is lifelong work, and something that we will continue to put in the work for both on and offline. W...

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) A lot of new trends have sprung up in the past few weeks. Some, like dalgona coffee and TikTok dance crazes, are fine and a nice distraction. Some aren’t so great though and the competitive nature and pressure of these trends can send us into a comparison spiral. We’re discussing them all, from working out 3 times a day to baking enough banana bread to open your own bakery. We’re all ...

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) What's the one thing you wish you could go back and say to your 13 year old self? Or maybe it's your 18 or 23 year old self? This fortnight we're discussing the lessons we've learnt that we wish we'd realised sooner.

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) These are weird times we’re living in, aren’t they? Every day we’re bombarded with more difficult and worrying news stories, with little indication as to when any of the madness is going to end. The best thing you can do (other than stay at home, unless you’re one of our amazing key workers) is to try and maintain a positive attitude. Even if you’re usually the most positive person go...

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) You guys loved our episode on organisation last year so this week we're back getting all excited about getting your shit together - productivity. As two organised worriers, we're always looking for new ways to increase our productivity so this week we're sharing the routines that we try to stick to and the tips we swear by to make the most out of each day. Because being busy is not th...

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) In this episode we discuss how to manage your expectations of yourself, where you “should” be and what you “should” have already acheived. We can all be guilty of seeing ourselves big goals but there’s a difference between a stretch-target and setting yourself and unrealistic timeline for success. We’re all guilty of it though and this week we’re sharing how we’ve started to manage ou...

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) This fortnight we're diving into boundaries, why they're so important and how to set them.

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) This week we share all the ways, big and small, that you can help to make a difference both on a local level and more globally. There's so much going on in the world right now that it can feel so overwhelming, you know you should be doing something but where do you start? We have lots of ways that you can get involved and help to make a difference. We'd love to hear about the small ch...

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) Stepping outside of our comfort zones is something we both try to do on a regular basis. Sometimes it's something smaller like joining a new club, other times it's taking a huge career change. Whatever it is, we've both found that it can be so rewarding when we go outside of comfort zones that it's something we always try to encourage other people to do too. If you're not quite sure h...

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) We’re back!

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) Can you believe we’re almost at the end of the year, and the decade? No, we can’t either! So before we take our end of year break (don’t worry, we’ll be back in January with plenty of new discussions) we thought we’d take a moment to look back on the rest of the year, discuss some of our highs and lows, and share our top recommendations from the past 12 months. We hope you enjoy the l...

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) In this fortnight's episode we're discussing friendship breakups. We cover why they can be so upsetting but also how they can be so important. We share some of our own experiences of when we've had to let friendships go and how we have navigated the sometimes difficult dynaimcs. As ever, we’d love to hear your thoughts on the topic so don’t forget to get in touch!

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) We know we’re a little late and the sound quality isn’t great this week but we’re hoping you’ll forgive us as we work out our new recording logistics! This fortnight we're discussing loneliness and why it's ok if you feel lonely. This is a discussion usually reserved for older generations but we think it is just as relevant when you're young too. We share some of the times when we've ...

(Formerly the 20s Are Hard podcast) A little late but finally this fortnights episode is up and we’re discussing fears. We share some of our biggest fears, how we’ve started to face them and also how to go about combatting your fears, from the tangible every day fears to the bigger things that play on your mind.
