Hey legends! Now that the UK is back in business (well, almost) we wanted to chat all things post-lockdown dating. Whether you’ve got straight back out there organising dates left, right and centre (Ali) or have a case of the post-pandemic dating anxiety (Jess), we’ve got ya. We also discuss how on earth you’re meant to navigate the dating scene when you’re trying to keep things casual. And as usual, there’s a side order of overthinking.

WE’RE BACK FOR SEASON 2 BABY! This week’s episode is all about this little thing we call life; from career choices and relationships, to marriage and moving countries. What should we be doing and how can we navigate the winding path that is adult life? Spoiler: screw timelines. Plus, we bring you up to speed on what we’ve been getting up to since we’ve been away (marathons and dating galore).

We are SO excited to be back and cannot thank you enough for your support on season 1. Don’t forget, if you enjoy listening please do subscribe, leave a review and follow us @storyofmyquarterlife

Hey pals! We can’t believe we’ve reached the end of season 1 already! For our final episode, we thought it would be fun to read some of your dating confessions, before offering some unqualified advice to some of your dating dilemmas! Am I being ghosted? How should you start a conversation with someone on a dating app? How can you get over the fear of asking someone out? Should I lower my dating standards (spoiler: no)?

As usual, if you enjoy the episode make sure you subscribe, leave a review and follow us over at @storyofmyquarterlife – we’ll be back very soon for season 2!

It’s the penultimate episode of season 1 and we’re back by popular demand to chat…dating! First, Jess regales us with the tale of a recent DM slide, before we chat overthinking and why we do it. Then, we’re straight onto those dating red flags! How do you know when someone is breadcrumbing you? What should you do about it? Plus, just how much should you talk about an ex to a new partner?

Trigger warning: Disordered eating and exercise behaviours.

Hello hello! This week’s episode is a bit of a different one. Since the both of us have been on long old journeys when it comes to fitness, we wanted to dive further into this topic today. In storytime, we both share our personal experiences with exercise addiction and how our approaches to fitness have changed over the years (aka another excuse for Ali to mention running). Then we’re talking intuitive fitness and how to find your own healthy balance. Enjoy!

The light-hearted lols are BACK people, and it’s the one you’ve all been waiting for (or maybe it’s just because we wanted another excuse to chat clitoral stimulators): we’re talking all things sex! From solo sex to bad sex, from friends with benefits to keeping things safe. Strap in because there’s a lot of ground to cover!

Hello friends. This episode is coming to you a little earlier than usual. We always said this pod would provide the highs, lows and laughs, and although the lows are few and far between, the events of the past week are unfortunately one of them. We felt, however, that this was a topic we couldn’t ignore.

Please note, this episode comes with a trigger warning. This is also a very raw and personal conversation for us both, so bear this in mind as you listen.

Sending love to you all.

Hiya pals! Since lockdown restrictions in the UK are going to be easing soon (fingers and toes crossed anyway) we wanted to chat about the fear of missing out - a.k.a FOMO - and the pressure many of you (ourselves included) may be feeling to make up for lost time this summer by throwing yourselves into all manner of activities. For the chronic people pleasers out there (e.g Ali) we’re also tackling ‘how to say no’, as well as discussing our hopes and fears for post-pandemic life.

Another week, another episode! Today we’re chatting dating etiquette! From dating turn offs (including males’ perspectives) to sex on a first date (do you or don’t you?). Plus, ghosting: is it ever okay (spoiler: no)? We’re also bringing you some tragic dating stories of our own, so strap in for the ride!

Welcome back friends! This week’s episode is a slightly more serious one (but don’t worry, we’ll be bringing you more tragic dating stories real soon) – we’re unpacking hustle culture! How do we define ‘success’? How can social media warp our perceptions of success? Can you ever achieve a work-life balance? And has good old #selfcare just become another part of the daily grind?
