    6. Dating life, grief and what's on our bucket lists

    In this episode, Juliet and Anniki talk about grief and distraction techniques. We also talk about drinking (but are definitely not advocating booze as a solution to grief- see resources below if you need help with drinking or drug addiction). Also, dating and how much it's changed and is changing. Also, what's on your bucket list? Do you have one or do you find the whole idea stressful- like you have even more stuff you need to do before you die?    Resources:  https://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk/ - Alcoholics Anonymous  https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/addiction-support/drug-addiction-getting-help/ - Help with drug addiction  https://www.cruse.org.uk/ - support with grief    This is the last episode in Season 1 of BANTZ.

    5. Boomer parents, Having a Scarcity Mindset and WE LOVE Kate Moss

    In this episode Juliet and Anniki talk about growing up with Boomer parents. It was an entirely different way of parenting back then but have we lost any of that in the way we parent now? The boundaries between parents and kids felt more defined and was this a good thing? Also were we more street wise because we were 100% free range in our teens? We also talk about Kate Moss and how Anniki always wanted to look like her when she was growing up. Are there specific things that older women wear? Why do they always wear the GIANT GLASSES? What are the other cliches of midlife fashion?  We also talk about scarcity mindset and where it comes from- that sense that you always have less than everyone else. Please do like, subscribe and leave a review.

    4. Resilience, Tweens and Teenagers, Social Media, and the C-word

    In this episode (which contains VERY STRONG LANGUAGE) Juliet and Anniki discuss how rejection builds resilience, but it's a muscle that you have to build up over time. We also talk about ADOLESCENCE, the Netflix series that everyone is talking about right now. Also, how our own childhoods were not digital at all but still had their dangers (phone lines that were not moderated for example). We also talk about the C word (so this is definitely not family friendly listening- get those headphones on!)  Please do like and follow the podcast - also contact us on social media with your thoughts and what you'd like to hear more about.

    3. Grief, Toxic friendships & the Trolls Getting Me Down

    In this weeks Bantz, Juliet and Anniki discuss the complexities of grief and how the journey is rarely linear. When you lose a parent your reality is severely shaken and you never fully recover.    They also discuss 'White Lotus,' (who isn't!) and the toxic friendship between former high school BFFs Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan), Laurie (Carie Coon) and Kate (Leslie Bibb). Why do women sometimes enjoy it when their friends are going through tough times? What do you do when you have women who pretend they're concerned but are secretly happy about your trauma?    And what about the world of online trolls? Should you ever read comments when you're a writer or actor? And what happens if they tap into the very thing you hate about yourself the most? Please do take time to drop us a rating and review!    WARNING: This episode talks in some detail about grief and losing a parent    This season is brought to you by Clementine - the home of digital wellbeing for women.

    2. Acting with Botox, Depicting older women on screen and How to Deal with Rich Friends

    This week hosts Juliet Cowan and Anniki Sommerville talk about acting and getting Botox. What happens when you can’t move your face because you’ve had too much of a good thing? Is it a good thing? And are we celebrating older women in Hollywood or just women who look young? Also how do you deal with wealthy friends who make you feel bad about your crap holidays?  And some great make up tips if you’re stuck in the 90s (but not in a good way).  To contact Anniki or Juliet please DM here on IG: @annikisommerville or @julietcowan1 We’d love to get your feedback and thoughts on the things we’re discussing and themes to explore for future episodes too.  This season is brought to you by Clementine - the home of digital wellbeing for women.
