The State of Us

Our last podcast of the year! We were gagging to rant about this all week… 

Christmas time can be magical, for sure, but doesn’t come without its fair share of stress and sadness. We talk about how we experience Christmas and the pressures that come with the holiday.

As it turns out, as a generation we're not great at switching off for the weekend or evening. And don't get us started about how we're supposed to squeeze in a full time job, exercise, social life, love life and seeing family into just 7 days.

We chat about our experiences with work stress, how it impacts our lives and how we attempt that fine balancing act of work and everything else in life.

We're all obsessed with how much sex we are having, but we all go through dry spells. In this episode, we talk about our longest dry spells, whether by choice or not at all, and ask our listeners what lack of sex does to their confidence - if anything?

We're back after some technical glitches with a chinwag about confidence. Do you have any? We sure don't. In this episode, we talk about social anxiety, feeling a huge lack of confidence in our careers, friendships and life in general, and how we manage it. 

Our first LIVE episode, recorded in front of 60 super sound guests at the Workmans Club in Dublin on October 19th, 2018

In this day and age, when you’re being #influenced left, right, and centre, it’s harder than ever to find what truly makes you fulfilled. We’ll talk about the idea of “living your best life” (cringe), struggling to find a passion and the societal pressure of having to “have it all” to be a successful human.

Of course, we’ll have our fellow Bray-head, mate and singer/musician/activist/giant ride, Karen Cowley from Wyvern Lingo joining in on the convo too. PS. If you don’t know them, check them out HERE - they’re really very good.

The subject of 'Death' is one of the last taboos. No one likes to think about their or their loved one's mortality. But it's something we are all touched by at some point in our lives. 

We recently got a message from a listener telling us about her tragic experience of her boyfriend passing away, and how she is struggling to feel normal again after the loss. 

Instead of including this in an 'Agony Aunt' style banty episode, we thought it warranted a full discussion.

We talk about our own losses, grief and living life after a death. 

Ro's boyfriend, Dave, helps us answer some of our listeners' questions about sex and relationships.

Work, money, relationships... what makes you stressed?!

We all know that stress can contribute to serious mental and physical health problems. So why don't we seem to be doing much about it?

We open up about what makes us the most stressed, and how we deal (or not deal) with it!

Off the back of two boozy weeks for Jane & Ro, we chat about the gargle! 

We put our drinking habits under the microscope and talk about why we drink, how it affects our moods, peer pressure and our worst drunk stories .

It’s not all doom and gloom though, we all drink for a reason and sometimes having a few casuals can be deadly.

Social media has literally changed the game. It has altered the way we interact with the world, and while there are huge benefits to this instant connection - there's also a massive amount of drawbacks to social media and the internet as a whole.

All of a sudden there are 10,000 more ways to be rejected and feel bad about yourself than there was before...that can't be good for our brains, right?!

In this episode, we talk about the pitfalls of social media, influencer bullshit and open up about our not-so-cool Insta-habits (we're total offenders of cringey captions). 

Tune in!
