Suddenly Twenties The Podcast

S3EP2: ALL THINGS LOVE LANGUAGES! When you want him to buy you flowers but don't want to him to want to buy you flowers just because you want them! In this episode the Suddenly Twenties girls bring a chit chat style episode about love languages!! Just be ware - Steph is obsessed with the concept of love languages like a star sign girl is with the time and place you were born! We discuss the love languages in detail as per the original book that they were discussed in. We talk about how physical touch isn't just about someone wanting sexy time, but rather about how you express love or feel loved through affection. We discuss how receiving gifts or words of affirmation are not love languages assigned to only the vain or materialistic, but rather are those who appreciate the thought or kind words to confirm love. And finally we dive deep into the meaning behind quality time and acts of service, as there are some of our top love languages! The suddenly twenties girls also discuss how we think love languages can be seen as a split that can be evenly disrupted across all 5 love languages or have strong 100% love language forms. We also bring you interesting questions about love languages and reflect on whether ours have changed over time, from relationship to relationship, are only strong when we don't receive X love language and if our test results reflect what we also feel we needed or wanted in childhood from our parents. Steph is a big believer in linking love languages to attachment styles, and your relationships with your parents! This episode was cut into 2 parts, the first part is gals chat about love languages and the second part we bring our boyfriends on to do the test with us and see which couple knows which best by writing our answers on a whiteboard!!

EP6: LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS - How to survive & How They CHANGE You!In this episode the Suddenly Twenties girls bring a lengthy discussion about long distance relationships! By looking at three very contrasting long distance relationships we analyse how to survive long distance relationships, things that make or break long distance relationships, successful long distance relationship stories and unsuccessful long distance relationship stories! The three long distance relationships are as follows: - Stephanie - 1 year long distance in Year 12 in 2015 living in different countries with a 4 hour time difference - but this year followed a massive fight before committing to a year apart which had a significant impact on how communication and conflict resolution flowed through the long distance! This relationship successfully survived the year long distance for two years living together before splitting ways in 2018. Sharna - 1.5 years long distance in 2017 living 8 hour road trip apart. They broke up to avoid long distance originally but ended up back together mid-way through their time apart before re-connecting in person! This long distant stint was successful and they are still happily together today! - Remy (GUEST) - 1 year long distance 8 hour road trip apart, with no end-date and competing university and lifestyle priorities. This relationship ended mid-way through their long distance stint! Suddenly Twenties - The PodcastSuddenly Twenties is a Podcast about navigating life in your twenties.

TOXIC FRIENDSHIPS: Red Flags in Friendships - Manipulation, Jealousy, Exclusion, Isolation & Emotional Silencing ft. Growing up as a Private School GirlIn this episode the Suddenly Twenties girls bring you a lengthy discussion on toxic friendships, addressing the areas of friendships we forget to consider. We brought on two guests to discuss their experiences with toxic friendships, how they identify red flags and toxicity in friendships, what steps they took to get out of or distance themselves from unhealthy people and what their advice would be to their younger selves / young girls still stuck in these unhealthy relationships. We then touch on the unhealthy culture that can be created in private schools such as those in Canberra. We briefly mention the long term competitiveness, pressure and expectations that many girls feel leaving highschool and how difficult it can be to break away from the pathway that was paved for us not by us. Again, Sharna and I reiterate our main points on toxic friendships that: 1) An unhealthy friendship is often a two sided miss-match in personalilities and expectations2) No individual is toxic, but rather the dynamic and culture which stems from one-on-one friendships or groups of girlsListen to this episode from two lenses, 1) assessing your friendships and what they provide you / if they align with your values,  and 2) with self-reflection on how you treat those around you. No person is perfect and no friendship is perfect, but ensure you do what is best for you xxSuddenly Twenties - The PodcastSuddenly Twenties is a Podcast about navigating life in your twenties.

This episode the Suddenly Twenties's girls discuss the biggest dilemma we all experience in our 20s! Do we use these years to create lifelong memories by travelling, spending time with friends, enjoying life without responsibilities, spending our savings on overseas trips or year long road trips, or going out on weekends? Or, alternatively, are these the crucial years to set ourselves up for the future and the future of our family? Do we spend these years knuckling down studying, doing post grad courses, creating 4 side-hustles, investing our savings in the property market or in shares? Do we set ourselves up for financial stability and a home for our children? This is one of the most common issues we experience throughout our twenties and without consciously thinking about it, we experience decision fatigue! It can be an exhausting process trying to balance these two! So in this episode, we bring you an honest chat and want to bring the issue to the forefront of your minds to help you all make conscious decisions moving forward!

Having strippers at a bachelor or hens night is the best example of the grey area of cheating - is it suddenly okay for your intimate parter to touch another woman in a sexual manner?

Episode Three - The Unspoken Truth about Toxic FriendshipsIn this episode the Suddenly Twenties girls bring you a lengthy discussion on toxic friendships, addressing the areas of friendships we forget to consider. We talk about healthy communication vs unhealthy communication, how jealousy, competitiveness and bottling issues up can lead to either b*tchiness or passive aggression feelings which cause resentment. We discuss how change occurs in your 20s at different paces, and how important it is to surround yourself with people who support and embrace your life changes! Sometimes friendships don't work out, sometimes you may need a few months of fresh air, and sometimes a healthy conversation can improve your friendship drastically. Listen to this episode from two lenses, 1) assessing your friendships and what they provide you / if they align with your values,  and 2) with self-reflection on how you treat those around you.
