In this episode Kirstie and Jen answer questions you have put to us - are some bridges best burnt, how to recognise toxic traits in others (and ourselves), body love, are we the protagonists of our own life and how many sugar daddies we deserve to look after us. That last response came out of a question around if social media creates new opportunities. Jen has had some interesting opportunities offered to her!20/40 is a podcast celebrating conversations and friendship across generations.

Jen has been feeling internal anger, but as someone who dislikes conflict, she wonders if her repression is a bad thing and, over a long period of time, can affect her relationships. Kirstie has gotten better at speaking up when a matter isn't right, but prefers to phrase her emotions as "getting upset", as she's dealt with violent anger in the past. Both apologise too much and prefer to keep the peace. How do you see your own periods of feeling upset or angry?20/40 is a podcast celebrating conversations and friendship across generations.

Part of Jen's COVID-19 experience is a need to reconnect with a couple of people with whom she has 'loose ends'. She's noticed that many of her friends are doing the same. Is this something that is generational as Jen has had more time to have friends and loved ones walk in and out of her life, or is Kirstie experiencing the same thing?20/40 is a podcast celebrating conversations and friendship across generations.

Work

Work

Kirstie and Jen recorded this work-related podcast the last time they were able to hang out in a studio together. As the Covid-19 situation unfolded they held on to it because it felt strange talking about work when so many people were now in totally different employment situations than a month ago.The point of the podcast though remains. Women don’t tend to discuss their job roles with each other like men do. So much of Jen's identity is, rightly or wrongly, tied up in her job roles. Is it important to know what our friends and colleagues are doing at work every day?20/40 is a podcast celebrating conversations and friendship across generations.
