TW: This episode contains discussions on mental health, depression, suicide, bulimia, and sexual harassment, assault, and abuse.
This episode Alice and Nicolette look into how women are often problematically painted by the media and society, and the discussions that surround those portrayals. Our hosts deep dive into how and women are often illustrated as manipulative and victim-playing, are wiped from the mainstream story, or have to put themselves in the public eye while their perpetrators are protected. The ladies look at current examples, from the discussions that circulated about Meghan Markle in the days following her interview with Harry and Oprah, to the allegations of sexual assault in Australian Parliament. It's a big episode, with big questions, and big reasons why things need to change.

Unfortunately none of us go through our twenties without becoming familiar with rejection. This episode Alice and Nicolette talk about the rejections they've faced (romantic, professional and otherwise), and the pain and possibility that accompanied them. They unpack exactly why it is rejection is so painful, how they can see rejections in their past as some of their greatest blessings, the difficulty of being in the position of having to reject someone else, and ultimately, how rejection may be something we can learn to celebrate if we can reframe it as leading us in a new direction.

If there's one thing every 20-something year old wonders about, it's what direction they should take in life. And it can definitely cause some stress. This episode, Alice and Nicolette discuss the feeling of directionlessness and how it can be overwhelming and daunting but also full of possibility. Listen in for a slight meltdown from both girls as they realise they're entering their mid-twenties, Alice's insights on whether to take life as it comes or plan in advance, why Nicolette has come to the realisation she wants a property with timber flooring even though she's living that student budget life, Jane the Virgin references, and more!

Jane the Virgin, season 3 episode 1 -
We 👏 are 👏 back 👏 !!!
Alice and Nicolette are kicking off season 3 by diving deep (like a whooole 40 minutes worth) into how they're finding and using their voices as young twenty-something year olds. For them, 2020 was equal parts disempowering and empowering. In some ways, they found their voices, but in others they felt completely gagged. As they reflect on the past year (and in particular the past 6 months without the podcast), they discuss how their voices and lives have changed not just as a result of a global pandemic but as a consequence of nearing the end of their university degrees, the prospect of full time work, leaving and entering relationships, and basically growing up in the real world. (See time stamps below.)

Here's an ep for everyone, whether you're into a bold wing or a fresh face. Let us give you the lowdown on makeup from priming to final touches - we go through how makeup is stereotypically perceived vs how we think of it, why we do our makeup and who it's for, the ways makeup is a ritual, how makeup looks have changed over time and from country to country, and the accessibility of products. Alice asks if makeup is a source of joy or a social norm to be challenged, Nicolette makes a Freudian slip, and both ladies try to answer the age old question, 'Why does everyone have an opinion on everyone else's appearance?'

After a two month long interlude, Seeing 20/20 is back for part 2 of our second season (woo!). Having reached the half way point in the year (first of all, how??), this episode we reflect on the year so far, discuss how motivation changes with routine (or lackthereof), and look forward to what we can expect in Act 2 of 2020. There's a cute book recommendation from Nicolette, a very fitting lemon metaphor from Alice, and the promise of a very introspective and spicy final 6 episodes in 2.

You asked, we answered! This episode Alice and Nicolette are delivering all the goods on the questions you sent to our Instagram about everything from creativity slumps, dealing with regret, relationships and dating (in quarantine?!) to things we're certain we'll never do (or are we?), who we'd want to have as a guest on our podcast, and when the last time we cried was and why (spoiler: it was in the last 24 hours. No, really. Iso be like that.)

This episode things get a lil bit personal, vulnerable, juicy and lighthearted as we play the get-to-know-you-better card game "We're Not Really Strangers". What does Alice never want to change about herself? What's the hardest part about dating Nicolette? What were our first impressions of each other?

You know that icky feeling - the one where you have to say no or cancel plans? Saying no can mean disappointing someone or letting ourselves down, but it can be a good thing. This episode, we talk about the benefits of saying no and how to be okay with someone saying no to you. We address how we're always taught to say no by following up with an explanation even though we shouldn't have to, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries. We also keep this ep quarantine-relevant by addressing how to end a call with someone while social distancing measures are still in place (we know, it can be hard to get out of the black hole of conversation in this routineless-world we're living in) and the fact we all need to prioritise self-care (which might not be exactly what you think it is).

These past two weeks everyone has had to adapt to the cornavirus outbreak, so this episode we talk over how we've settled into our new quarantined reality. It felt remiss not to address such a global event, so this week we share our own experiences social distancing so far including keeping up with the news, handling anxieties, and how to keep calm in what is a very unique situation. Whether you've been in isolation for a few weeks or for a few days, we hope you're staying safe and healthy during this strange time and we also hope we can help take the edge off with our weekly podcast eps.

We've all been there. You're at a party and you ask about a girl you don't know and someone drops the line "Oh, her? She's ___." Fill in the blank - she's a good girl, she's innocent, she's a slut, she's easy, she's a prude. It doesn't matter what the label is, people like to have an easy way to define others, so these sorts of names are thrown around all too often. But you're still not totally sure what to say in response. Maybe someone's even said this about you. Don't worry, Alice and Nicolette have gotchu.
This week, we talk about the assumptions people impose on others, especially women, and the idea that we need to be "definable." We sound off about out own personal experiences of being labelled, quote Slyvia Plath's book The Bell Jar, fangirl over the recently released Taylor Swift doco, and of course reference Married At First Sight. If you've every felt judged for being [fill in the blank], this is one episode that we hope will have you clapping along from beginning to end.

We're back for another season of good conversation, laughing at cringe-worthy moments, and figuring out life as we go. This week we share our Valentines Day crises (how does one V-day??) and Galentines Day stories. Did we go dancing with our gal pals in an empty club and request Lizzo? Did Alice question what to get her S/O for her first V-day? Did Nicolette have pizza two nights in a row and prefer half-priced flowers the next day? Yes to all.

This episode we're getting bookish with English major, avid reader and friend, Nicky to get some spicy book recommendations and answer ALL the questions, like are audiobooks killing the experience real books offer? Where do we stand on book to movie adaptations? Do we rate erotic novels? How do we imagine characters - why are they headless??

We go through a lot of firsts in our twenties and that's because we're always trying new things like starting uni or getting our first job. We're expected to do more than we know and feel like we should know more than we do, when in reality, we're just amateurs who are learning on the fly (#stillfiguringitout). This episode we talk to friend, student, and play director, Tushar, on imposter syndrome and what it means to be creative, see value in your work, share your work with others, grapple with big labels when you're just starting out, and whether any of us ever actually 'make it.'

Gather 'round kiddos, this episode we're throwing it back to the good old days. Joined by special guest Aniket, we're deep-diving into our childhood memories and experiences - what did we love doing as kids? What challenges did we face growing up?

If there's one thing we try and avoid at all costs, it's failure. It bruises our ego, makes us put up walls and front like we're okay. Yet, it's arguably the one thing that can teach us life lessons, give us experience, and redirect us toward success through trial and error. Your 20s is all about figuring it out so let's talk about the not so great parts and how they can actually be blessings in disguise.

Sometimes it feels like dating has become a murder mystery case. Questions like "Where do I stand?" "Why aren't they messaging?" and "Has Halloween come early with this year or have I just been ghosted?" seem to be the norm in the situation-ship stage of dating. Whether you've been ghosted or had to go "Boo!" yourself, we and our special guest, Beth, are here to talk you through breadcrumbing, online dating, and being honest, decent and confident despite the uncertainties of dating in your 20s.
