Just a mini ep today to check in with each other and find out how we've been going since we last were in your ears! So much has happened for us since our last poddy, including an additional two Melbourne lockdowns, moving house, multiple meals consumed... actually I guess not a lot has happened. 

We are looking forward to bringing you more content soon! Remember to follow / subscribe to our podcast and if you're feeling super generous, to give us a review.

Love to you all!

We are back baby with part 2 of our mini relationship break up series. As two millennials who are NOT married, who have NOT had kids and only one of us having had a long term relationship, we can only comment on what we know. Every break up is different. Some reasons they end may be similar but the people involved are always different which means different endings and outcomes. 

We discuss in this episode things you should (or shouldn't) do to cope with your breakup. 

We discuss grieving the relationship, NOT drinking and messaging, surrounding yourselves with loved ones and keeping things amicable. 

Also - can you be friends with your ex? Should you be? AHHH let us know! 

As always please like and subscribe to our podcast and leave us a review! 

Look our for Part 3 - Moving On & Up coming out in 2 weeks! 

Holy heck, we're at episode 20?! Well technically we should've been there awhile a go but you know, life got in the way etc etc etc.

Welcome to our new regular (not gonna say fortnightly or weekly) but regular podcast! We are kicking it back off with part one of a three part relationship series: "HOW TO BREAK UP WELL".

So what does it mean to break up 'well'? Basically how you should approach a break up - realisation of why and when you should break up as well as how to approach the break up situation itself - where it's done, what to do and especially what NOT to do (helllooooo ghosting!!!)

As always - it would mean a lot if you Followed, Subscribed and rated/reviewed our podcast on either Spotify or iTunes as that helps us put out the poddy to more people.

What are millennials considered the lazy generation? Why do millennials feel the most pressure to succeed out of all living generations? Is social media the root of the problem? Do you feel peer pressure to do drugs? Drink? To have a higher education?

Why do we succumb to so much pressure?

Oke doke artichoke episode 18 here we are!
Today we're talking settling in relationships.

What is settling? Why do we do it? How do you know if you're settling for less than what you deserve? Is there a thing as being too picky, and why you need to know what you want in a relationship. 

Lots of content to cover and lots of questions from Bon and Lloyd. We initially thought this episode would be a piece of cake, but it proved to just have so many angles. If there's one thing to take away from this episode - relationships shouldn't be hard work, they should feel comfortable and natural. You're always going to have ups and downs, but the positives should always outweigh the negatives. 

You are worthy of love and to be loved whole heartedly and to be with someone who deserves and respects you. 

There's your Monday motivation for you.

The hiatus is over... again. Lord we have had a wild past few weeks and needed some time off to process what's been going on in our lives... buuuuuut now we're back with a brand new episode on the problems associated with COMPARISON, COMPETITION AND COMPASSION. 

We hear "comparison is the thief of joy" regularly, but what does that actually mean? How does comparison steal your happiness? We also delve into the concept of being overly competitive bringing you down as well as the problems with having TOO MUCH compassion and being too kind. lol wut? 

Our recommendations for the week: 

Lloyd - Buy 1 house every year for the next 10 years.... good luck with that one guys. On a more achievable note, his other recommendation was "fill your own cup". Make 2021 the year to look after and prioritise you in whatever way you possibly can.

Bon - Watch 'Framing Britney Spears' the documentary & let us know what you think! Also watch 'It's a Sin' on Stan. Bon is aware she accidentally said LGBTIQ instead of LGBTQI... she's sorry about this.

Finally - watch this powerful clip on privilege and how unfair it is on yourself to compare where you are with someone else without understanding that we all have different pasts and different advances into the world.

To have or not to have expectations is the real question. You often hear "have low expectations so you won't be disappointed".. but when should you have expectations? Is it fair to have expectations in your relationship? What are unfair expectations? 

What do you expect from your friends? What can you expect from your employees? From your employer?

All topics we discuss in todays episode on "EXPECTATIONS".

This one was hard! Our opinions were constantly fluctuating as we agreed and disagreed with each other then would come full circle. 

What do you expect from the people in your life?

HI HO HEY!

Happy Christmas/New Year/Sunday and all the goodness in between. Lloyd and Bon are back after a solid month off with an episode on "calling it quits".

What does it mean to call it quits? Why you would need to call something quits?.. and how to call it quits and finish it completely. We discuss ending self deprecation, friendships and relationships and give some tips as to how to do so.

Knowing the end of something is nearing can be daunting, but at the end of the day if it doesn't provide you with purpose, happiness or is detrimental to your own wellbeing, it's time to let it go.

Well here it is STIGU fam.. the final episode for 2020. In this ep we're talking about kindness being key. It's the end of what has been a crazy year for so many reasons. Many people are burnt out from social events galore, christmas festivities, stress and work responsibilities. When all else fails, kindness goes a long way. You never know what someone is going through behind closed doors or personal battles they're facing. Here's your little reminder that a smile, checking in with someone or doing a random act of kindness doesn't take much, but it can make a big difference in someones day.

We'll be back (fingers crossed) next year January 17th with a brand new episode! Stay safe, have a great Christmas and New Year. Thanks for going on this journey with us.
