Growing Up is Overrated

Summertime is here!  Time for some hot girl summer fun!  But unfortunately, while fun in the sun is an aspect of the season, there are also many women's issues that arise during this time of the year, like swimsuits, chub rub, shaving, etc.  Today T and Gen discuss these issues and how they deal with them.

When making friends, we sometimes find that there are better matches than others. Friendships can have expiration dates and sometimes they are not a good idea from the beginning. Today, Gen and I will share stories about some of the flakey and toxic friend experiences we have had in the past.

Both T and Gen have a fascination with personality tests.  They love the insight gained about who they are, how they think, and what is most important to them.  Today they go over their results from some of these tests, such as the Enneagram, the Big 5, and the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator. 

For added fun, you can take the quizzes too if you don't already know your results:

Life has a lot of ups and downs, and as we grow older we have started to realize we can’t always be happy about everything. There is a spectrum of emotions we all must experience and process other than just positivity. Today we explore what “toxic positivity” is and how we face it in our daily lives. We hope you enjoy our randomness in this one! 

It is not uncommon to live with your parents as a young adult, especially during the pandemic.  Rent is expensive, jobs are hard to find, and other factors can contribute to making this choice.  But when you live with your parents as an adult, you start to notice aspects of their living style that clash with yours.  Today we discuss how we deal with these disparities in our lifestyles.

As children we believe everything should be fair, but as we grow older we realize that just isn’t the case. There are many aspects in life that we can’t control and it can lead to a sense of anxiety and helplessness. But how can we cope with this and what do Gen and T do when faced with these situations?

***TRIGGER WARNING*** We will be talking about weight, disordered eating, and body image in this episode. If you know this content is triggering for you please do what is best for you and we will see you in our next episode.

Perhaps there is nothing more complicated than a person’s relationship with food.  Eating may seem simple on the surface, but food carries so much weight in our personal lives, pun intended.  How do we, as 20-somethings who have both struggled with body image, deal with all of the social issues around food?  Well today, we are going to talk about our experiences.

Life can be stressful and learning to cope is necessary for survival. Something Gen and T both have in common is turning to life simulation games such as Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. Since they are such a massive part of their stress management and friendship, they want to share their journey with you!

Valentine's day is fast approaching and while talking about romance is fun, Gen and T dedicate this episode to our friendships since not everyone is in a romantic relationship.  All relationships play an important role in our lives and fostering them as an adult can be tricky.  How do you make friends when so much of our lives are dedicated to adulting?  This week, Gen and T discuss their strategies on making friends.

T and Gen share their experiences being females in the gaming space. What are stereotypes in gaming and what is like to break into gaming communities as a female? They also discuss videogames made for girls and how they are generally not made with large budgets. Join them to get in on the conversation.
