About Shift Happens

Everyone talks about change; we live it. Change is movement, they say, change is inevitable; but in our cases it seemed that a lot changed too fast. Ira moved to a different country to basically start from scratch, Maria sold her company to have a fresh start. Alongside the fundamental questions of "what we are" and "where are we going", 2 good friends are now faced with another question — how to sustain old friendships and make new ones that would count. Shift Happens explores the art and heart of friendship, from its beginnings to its challenges.

6. Are we optimistic about the future?

In this episode, we sit down with our dear friend Pavlína Louženská — a trend forecaster, a mentor at Google (that's how we all met!) and an extraordinary kick-ass woman! We discuss all the shifts we see around us — personally and professionally: the speed of change which we find hard to adjust to, switch between identities, generational differences, nihilism in consumer behaviour, true human connection and, in the end, where are we from ourselves — from somewhere or from anywhere?

5. Why do friendships end?

In this episode — after a long pause! — Ira and Maria have a pretty serious chat about why & how friendships end. Ira never officially ended friendships but talks about recent examples of failed friendships and her ways of coping, while Maria is still going strong with "no ghosting" policy opting for closures instead.

3. Keeping old friendships alive

In this episode, old friends (6 years counts, right?!) Ira & Maria are talking about the art of friends' retention. What keeps friendships alive throughout the years? Do you normally "mix" old friends with your new acquaintances? Is having rituals with old friends important? Does regular zooming support that real connection? We mention a few articles from the Atlantic throughout the episode.

2. How to make new friends when you're an adult?

This is the question that actually started this podcast: how do people make new friends when they're adults in their 30s? As we dive in, more questions pop up: is it massively different to make new friends not in your native language? What makes new friends stay, really? Are all these "friendship apps" a great thing? Are we all in the very epicentre of the loneliness epidemic, and what are our very own ways to tackle it?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
