    S3EP2: ALL THINGS LOVE LANGUAGES! When you want him to buy you flowers but don't want to him to want to buy you flowers just because you want them!

    S3EP2: ALL THINGS LOVE LANGUAGES! When you want him to buy you flowers but don't want to him to want to buy you flowers just because you want them! In this episode the Suddenly Twenties girls bring a chit chat style episode about love languages!! Just be ware - Steph is obsessed with the concept of love languages like a star sign girl is with the time and place you were born! We discuss the love languages in detail as per the original book that they were discussed in. We talk about how physical touch isn't just about someone wanting sexy time, but rather about how you express love or feel loved through affection. We discuss how receiving gifts or words of affirmation are not love languages assigned to only the vain or materialistic, but rather are those who appreciate the thought or kind words to confirm love. And finally we dive deep into the meaning behind quality time and acts of service, as there are some of our top love languages! The suddenly twenties girls also discuss how we think love languages can be seen as a split that can be evenly disrupted across all 5 love languages or have strong 100% love language forms. We also bring you interesting questions about love languages and reflect on whether ours have changed over time, from relationship to relationship, are only strong when we don't receive X love language and if our test results reflect what we also feel we needed or wanted in childhood from our parents. Steph is a big believer in linking love languages to attachment styles, and your relationships with your parents! This episode was cut into 2 parts, the first part is gals chat about love languages and the second part we bring our boyfriends on to do the test with us and see which couple knows which best by writing our answers on a whiteboard!!

    EP6: LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS - How to survive & How They CHANGE You! In this episode the Suddenly Twenties girls bring a lengthy discussion about long distance relationships! By looking at three very contrasting long distance relationships we analyse how to survive long distance relationships, things that make or break long distance relationships, successful long distance relationship stories and unsuccessful long distance relationship stories! The three long distance relationships are as follows: - Stephanie - 1 year long distance in Year 12 in 2015 living in different countries with a 4 hour time difference - but this year followed a massive fight before committing to a year apart which had a significant impact on how communication and conflict resolution flowed through the long distance! This relationship successfully survived the year long distance for two years living together before splitting ways in 2018. Sharna - 1.5 years long distance in 2017 living 8 hour road trip apart. They broke up to avoid long distance originally but ended up back together mid-way through their time apart before re-connecting in person! This long distant stint was successful and they are still happily together today! - Remy (GUEST) - 1 year long distance 8 hour road trip apart, with no end-date and competing university and lifestyle priorities. This relationship ended mid-way through their long distance stint! Suddenly Twenties - The Podcast Suddenly Twenties is a Podcast about navigating life in your twenties.

    S2EP2: TOXIC FRIENDSHIPS & Their Red Flags - Manipulation, Jealousy, Exclusion, Isolation & Emotional Silencing

    TOXIC FRIENDSHIPS: Red Flags in Friendships - Manipulation, Jealousy, Exclusion, Isolation & Emotional Silencing ft. Growing up as a Private School Girl In this episode the Suddenly Twenties girls bring you a lengthy discussion on toxic friendships, addressing the areas of friendships we forget to consider. We brought on two guests to discuss their experiences with toxic friendships, how they identify red flags and toxicity in friendships, what steps they took to get out of or distance themselves from unhealthy people and what their advice would be to their younger selves / young girls still stuck in these unhealthy relationships. We then touch on the unhealthy culture that can be created in private schools such as those in Canberra. We briefly mention the long term competitiveness, pressure and expectations that many girls feel leaving highschool and how difficult it can be to break away from the pathway that was paved for us not by us. Again, Sharna and I reiterate our main points on toxic friendships that: 1) An unhealthy friendship is often a two sided miss-match in personalilities and expectations 2) No individual is toxic, but rather the dynamic and culture which stems from one-on-one friendships or groups of girls Listen to this episode from two lenses, 1) assessing your friendships and what they provide you / if they align with your values,  and 2) with self-reflection on how you treat those around you. No person is perfect and no friendship is perfect, but ensure you do what is best for you xx Suddenly Twenties - The Podcast Suddenly Twenties is a Podcast about navigating life in your twenties.
