20s and where to find them

Hello again! Lena & Ge are talking about grieving your youth, aka that transition period/feeling/nostalgic-inducing-time where you have more responsibilities than ever but maybe don’t quite feel ready to navigate them. We chat through how youth is a privilege but how no one really equips you to deal with the sadness of starting to say goodbye to it. This is something we’d love to hear from our beautiful listeners on so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your own thoughts, feelings and experiences. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Our weekly reccs:Ge - Taylor Jenkins Reid books Lena - The Single Minded podcast: ‘Finding Magic in the Mediocrity of Life’Want to hear more of our chatter and support our show?

This week Lena & Ge sit down with Bella Simon, who was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis at 16 and at 20 required a liver transplant in order to live. Bella generously shares what it was like to be chronically ill as a late teen, what it meant for friendships and firsts, what waiting for a life saving liver transplant felt like and how it has shaped the direction of her career. We certainly learnt a lot from Bella and we hope you do too. If you are not already we would encourage you to become a registered organ donor (more info below) and discuss your wishes with your loved ones. It might just save a life. If you want to skip ahead of our fluff (you will miss out of passata chat) you can skip to 10.52 ☺️You can become a registered organ donor (in Australia) by visiting the Services Australia Website and following the instructions and you can donate blood or plasma by following the instructions at Red Cross Lifeblood Australia and finding your nearest donor centre. ~~~~~~~~~~~Our weekly reccs:Ge - go op shoppingLena - Ted Lasso tv showBella  - ‘The Maidens’ by Alex MichaelidesWant to hear more of our chatter and support our show?

Hello friends! This week Lena & Ge discover that the age-old adage that ‘your friendships in your 20s will closely resemble a 90s sitcom’ (you know the one 👀) is in fact complete BS. Instead their friendships seem to have a lot more friends moving away, friendships drifting apart, texting without seeing each other for months and other mundanities. We also listen to your voice messages on the expectations you had about friendships in your 20s (thanks to everyone that contributed!). We hope this helps you feel less alone, muddled and/or insecure about your friendships and we are not in any way  responsible for any remote-control-throwing or laptop-lid-slamming that watching 90s sitcoms about friendships might ensue…Our weekly reccs:Ge - 'I’m Glad My Mom Died' by Jennette McCurdy (extra recommend the audio book which is read by Jennette!)Lena - Go to your local library (Ge also taught Lena that most local libraries have an online audio book collection accessible through Libby or BorrowBox, which happens to be where Ge listened to her recommendation!) ~~~~~~~~~~~Big thanks to the Victorian State Library where this was recorded.Want to hear more of our chatter and support our show?

Hi!Exciting news!! This week Lena & Ge host their first guest, Tom, who sits down for a chat about open relationships and figuring out he was polygamous in his 20s. We spend some time discussing what being polyamarous means to Tom as well as busting some of your myths and assumptions about what being in an open relationship is like. We hope you enjoy this one and it gives you lots to think about, it certainly taught Lena & Ge a lot. ~~~~~~~~~~~Our weekly reccs:Ge - Florence Given podcast episode: “Integrity, Purpose and Finding peace with Martha Beck: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/exactly-with-florence-given/id1598996198Lena - Join a club or a community to meet new people and get yourself out of your comfort zone!Tom - The Salsa Foundation classes: https://www.thesalsafoundation.com.au/Other reccos mentioned throughout the ep:The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet HardyMultiamory podcast - Relationship 101 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5TJ7KCxG2wZZwZyJENZuw2?si=vHOmVShATmK1Vu0av8E9Gw&nd=1Multiamory podcast - Relationship Radar - https://open.spotify.com/episode/61dDmPbFEMefT8HC0ScsSa?si=MSRu9b_1Rf-wNQrOkb3l7w&nd=1Big thanks to the Victorian State Library where this was recorded.Want to hear more of our chatter and support our show?
