We have made it to 1 year with Miss Rona. She's not been our friend for this past year but she's been here! This week Anya and Tom look back on this past year and reflect on how life will change and ponder how life has changed.

They reflect on the past year the good, the bad and the heartbreaking.

Well done Kids/TuneSquaders for making it through the year. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost friends and family members from this awful pandemic. Remember you are never alone our DMs are always open if you need to talk. But there are more helpful services out there if you are really struggling.

Stay safe and we love you!

At the age of 18 years old in the UK we become an adult, but with life expectancies expanding and huge societal pressures in our modern world, is 18 still the right age to take on the title of being a grown-up? Join Anya and Tom as they discuss brain developments, generational differences and have a heated debate about whether you should know all about life before you're granted adult status.

In the 21st century, we're not afraid to air the dirty laundry when it comes to archaic tendencies. The Women's rights movement is stronger than ever, we absolutely do not allow for racist slurs and we hold the rainbow flag with pride. But when it comes to old fashioned conventions, we're slow to raise eyebrows at arguably one of the most outdated societal constructions... marriage. Anya and Tom raise the bar when discussing long term relationships, considering whether humans were always made for monogamous relationships or has the patriarchy once again colluded in setting us in line.

Motivation is a tricky beast to tackle. One minute you're full of it riding on the highs of ticking off your to-do list and other days you're having a face-off with procrastination. Anya and Tom know too well those days where you do everything you can to avoid that looming deadline (or frog as Anya bizarrely likes to call it) and are here to help you take back the reigns of motivation in full stride. Get comfy as they discuss the underlying qualities of motivation, what keeps them motivated and tips on how to spark motivation in the first place.

Death… a tricky topic to talk about, but even more so to experience. Potentially if we opened up more about grief, dying and life after death we’d be more prepared in our lifetime to comfort ourselves and others better. Settle in as Anya and Tom chat openly and honestly about their own experiences of death, how to navigate grief and thoughts about possible afterlives.

Taking a risk comes with a whole bunch of mixed emotions including excitement and adrenaline, but more commonly anxiety and fear. Anya and Tom love taking a gamble on life from time to time, but question why do we fear risks and how do we overcome the anxiety of taking risks by bravely grabbing life with both hands and no hesitations.

Join Anya and Tom as they discuss why they think the first person you fall in love with hits you the hardest, when's the right time to say I love you, how long a honey moon period lasts for and so much more lovey dovey stuff!
