    S3E4: "She's playing the victim" - The Media Against Women

    TW: This episode contains discussions on mental health, depression, suicide, bulimia, and sexual harassment, assault, and abuse. This episode Alice and Nicolette look into how women are often problematically painted by the media and society, and the discussions that surround those portrayals. Our hosts deep dive into how and women are often illustrated as manipulative and victim-playing, are wiped from the mainstream story, or have to put themselves in the public eye while their perpetrators are protected. The ladies look at current examples, from the discussions that circulated about Meghan Markle in the days following her interview with Harry and Oprah, to the allegations of sexual assault in Australian Parliament. It's a big episode, with big questions, and big reasons why things need to change. 00:00 Intro 00:23 Trigger Warning - mental health, depression, suicide, and sexual harassment, assault, and abuse. 00:38 It's been a big week 01:23 International Women's Day 01:50 The media's portrayal of Meghan Markle post-Oprah interview 10:28 The Princess Diana Interview 12:34 Is it really the "Worst Royal Crisis in 85 Years"? aka There are more important, serious issues the media should be focussing on. 16:36 Taylor Swift and Netflix's Ginny & Georgia 20:40 The importance of publicly airing grievances and seeing yourself through representation in media 23:15 How the current allegations of sexual assault in Australian Parliament are being handled by those in power. 24:05 We need structural, systemic change 26:52 Sexism in the workplace and Justice Carolyn Simpson's quote on women in the legal profession 30:00 Aren't things getting better? 30:45 Testimonies in the TeachUsConsent petition 31:55 A quote from Matthew McConaughey's book Greenlights 32:15 Goodbye and outro The Spike article: https://www.spiked-online.com/2021/03/08/the-unbearable-victim-complex-of-meghan-markle/ The Mirror UK's front body language site: https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/ask-body-language-expert-your-23616374 Leigh Sales' interview with Julie Bishop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbpCk9PQvZI

    S3E3: Rejection and Redirection

    Unfortunately none of us go through our twenties without becoming familiar with rejection. This episode Alice and Nicolette talk about the rejections they've faced (romantic, professional and otherwise), and the pain and possibility that accompanied them. They unpack exactly why it is rejection is so painful, how they can see rejections in their past as some of their greatest blessings, the difficulty of being in the position of having to reject someone else, and ultimately, how rejection may be something we can learn to celebrate if we can reframe it as leading us in a new direction.  Instagram: www.instagram.com/seeing_2020/ Listening Platforms: linktr.ee/Seeing2020 Cover Art: @itsatomlife "Inspired" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)  License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

    S3E2: Would you rather be One Direction or Harry Styles? (Directionlessness)

    If there's one thing every 20-something year old wonders about, it's what direction they should take in life. And it can definitely cause some stress. This episode, Alice and Nicolette discuss the feeling of directionlessness and how it can be overwhelming and daunting but also full of possibility. Listen in for a slight meltdown from both girls as they realise they're entering their mid-twenties, Alice's insights on whether to take life as it comes or plan in advance, why Nicolette has come to the realisation she wants a property with timber flooring even though she's living that student budget life, Jane the Virgin references, and more!

    S3E1: Finding Your Voice

    We 👏 are 👏 back 👏 !!! Alice and Nicolette are kicking off season 3 by diving deep (like a whooole 40 minutes worth) into how they're finding and using their voices as young twenty-something year olds. For them, 2020 was equal parts disempowering and empowering. In some ways, they found their voices, but in others they felt completely gagged. As they reflect on the past year (and in particular the past 6 months without the podcast), they discuss how their voices and lives have changed not just as a result of a global pandemic but as a consequence of nearing the end of their university degrees, the prospect of full time work, leaving and entering relationships, and basically growing up in the real world. (See time stamps below.)

    S2E8: Keeping Up Appearances

    Here's an ep for everyone, whether you're into a bold wing or a fresh face. Let us give you the lowdown on makeup from priming to final touches - we go through how makeup is stereotypically perceived vs how we think of it, why we do our makeup and who it's for, the ways makeup is a ritual, how makeup looks have changed over time and from country to country, and the accessibility of products. Alice asks if makeup is a source of joy or a social norm to be challenged, Nicolette makes a Freudian slip, and both ladies try to answer the age old question, 'Why does everyone have an opinion on everyone else's appearance?'

    S2E7: Act II (aka When Life Throws You Lemons, Make Limoncello)

    After a two month long interlude, Seeing 20/20 is back for part 2 of our second season (woo!). Having reached the half way point in the year (first of all, how??), this episode we reflect on the year so far, discuss how motivation changes with routine (or lackthereof), and look forward to what we can expect in Act 2 of 2020. There's a cute book recommendation from Nicolette, a very fitting lemon metaphor from Alice, and the promise of a very introspective and spicy final 6 episodes in 2.

    You asked, we answered! This episode Alice and Nicolette are delivering all the goods on the questions you sent to our Instagram about everything from creativity slumps, dealing with regret, relationships and dating (in quarantine?!) to things we're certain we'll never do (or are we?), who we'd want to have as a guest on our podcast, and when the last time we cried was and why (spoiler: it was in the last 24 hours. No, really. Iso be like that.) Cover Art: @itsatomlife Instagram: @seeing_2020 Music from https://filmmusic.io "Inspired" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY
