Bea and Izzie
The podcast where we normalise not having a clue in our 20s. Come join for the conversation on Monday mornings!
Join us as we chat about the negative impact of controlling every aspect of our lives, why we do this, and think about what can be gained from letting go of control, and how we can achieve that. How can we find more peace, calm and acceptance, and appreciate the excitement that comes with not knowing what is around the corner? Listen to this episode to find out!
Welcome to season 2 of 20s Life podcast! We are so happy to be back, discussing the first topic: Comparison, envy and self acceptance in our 20s. The 20s can be a time of low self esteem and high comparison to others, especially with the rise of social media. We discuss our own experiences, our research, and tips and advice for helping reduce the amount of time we spend comparing ourselves to others.
The last episode of the season, ending with a bang… this week we discuss how our relationship with sex has changed over the years. How, as women, sex was never something that was discussed openly and never something we were encouraged to enjoy, the priority was always pleasing the man!! We talk about how different it is now, and we open up about our personal journeys. We want to start this very important conversation, and end with the message that sex should only ever be empowering.
Bea’s personal story about when she lost someone very close to her when she was 23. We discuss the process of grief, dealing with terminal illnesses, and how to get through such a difficult time in your life. This may be triggering, as we talk about the process of dying, brain tumours, and having therapy, but we hope it offers some comfort to anybody else going through it. Thank you for listening, remember to get in contact via our Instagram @20s_life_podcast :) have a great week!
This week, we’re discussing the process of finding your first step on the career ladder, the first job in your 20s that means something to you, the first job that is notoriously hard to get. We discuss our experiences with job rejections, lessons we wish we’d known sooner, and advice we would give our younger selves now we are both happy in our jobs. We’d love to hear what you think of this episode! And let us know your stories when finding a job. Get in touch on our insta, @20s_life_podcast, and have a great week!
