Note: This episode was recorded before the Covid 19 emergency.

Welcome to The Beauty Episode!

This week we're talking about beauty and what it means to us. We're not just looking at the more frivolous aspects of the beauty industry and how to use lipstick 35 ways, but also the negative impact social media can have on our self-perception. We discuss the power of beauty and how what we view as beautiful has altered over the years.

Of course, at this very unusual time in world history we know that our health trumps any discussion on how we look. We hope you all stay safe and home and sure, why not throw on a face mask listening to Brendan and Sonya being their usual witty, warm and wise selves.

April 02, 2020 The Money Episode
Note: this episode was recorded before the Covid 19 emergency in Ireland.

This week, it’s The Money Episode of Lennon Courtney Left Alone.

We know that now, more than ever, we are all concerned about what the future holds. All of us want to make sure we can secure our homes, be they rental or mortgaged and maintain our incomes as we sail further into these unchartered waters. We had no idea what lay ahead for us when we sat down to chat just a few weeks ago. This health emergency has shown us that our health really is our wealth but at the same time, the uncertainty of employment and our physical and mental well-being are all interconnected.

Know that we want the best for our listeners and are keeping you all in our thoughts. To get through this frightening time, we have to stick together.

With that said, this week we talk about valuing your time, the equal pay vs gender pay gap, female representation in leadership and what money means to us.

We mentioned Caroline Criado Perez’s book in this episode which is available in your local library (whenever they reopen) or buy it here.

Note: This episode was recorded before the Covid 19 emergency.
Welcome to this week's Lennon Courtney Left Alone. This episode is The Purpose Episode.
What's it all about? Why are we here? Where's my phone? These are big questions that Sonya and Brendan repeatedly ask themselves. In this episode they share their life experiences and how they have sought purpose in their lives. This conversation is a long and winding road and even Madonna gets a mention.
If you enjoyed this episode, it would be very helpful to help us grow the podcast by leaving us a review here and giving us five stars.

March 19, 2020 The Age Episode
This week on Lennon Courtney Left Alone, it’s The Age Episode.
Now, more than ever, we understand what a privilege it is to get older, so for this episode, we wanted to look at ageing. We talked about what we thought it would look like when we were younger and how we find it now. We also look at the factors that contribute to living a healthy and engaged life, about the Japanese concept of Ikigai and a new stage of life called gerontolescence. At Lennon Courtney Left Alone, we like to leave no conversational stone unturned!
Once again, with this episode, we feel it is important to point out that our chats represent our own personal thoughts and views on getting older. We have not graduated from Age Expert University so keep that in mind as you listen. It is also worth keeping in mind, it was recorded before the Covid 19 pandemic.
With all that said, we hope you enjoy listening wherever you get your podcasts.
See you again next Thursday for a brand new episode.
Sonya and Brendan.
