(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 how to get used to initiating difficult conversations.

(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. We know that sometimes we will get it wrong but calling each other and ourselves out for it is how we can learn and do better. Please share with us any resources that you've found helpful recently and we can continue to share them with the rest of our community. And to our black listeners, know that we hear you, we see you, we respect you and we are committed to doing the work.

(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 just trying to find our own ways to cope but without making ourselves, or anyone else, feel crumby.

(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 going, right now it’s a bit tougher than usual to do that. We’ve decided to keep it real (as usual), and chat about how difficult the past 2 weeks have been and how much everything has changed, but also share with you the tips we use to try and stay positive. Sending you all lots of love, please stay safe!

Bon Appetit

(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 the same as being productive. Just as a side note, we record all of our episodes in advance and recorded this before social distancing really started, that said, chatting about productivity (especially if you’re now working from home) seem quite timely so hopefully this is still useful and we can serve as a nice distraction from what is going on in these scary times.
