Season finale - OUR ICKS

On our final episode of series one, we delve into the things that give us the ultimate ICK. What is an ick you ask? Something that makes you feel disgusted, to your core. We had fun with this one and can't believe we have come to the end of this series so soon! Thank you for listening, thank you for sharing, thank you for supporting our lil podcast. We will be back for series 2 very soon! Love ya, Hannah and MC x ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

And the rest is Politics..

It wouldn't be right to near the end of this series without delving into a little bit of Politics now would it?! Over the last few years, the UK has been overwhelmed by Royal events, from the Platty Joobs, numerous funerals and most recently a Cozzie Nashe. This week, we discuss the role of the Monarchy within modern society and UK Politics, and what purpose they serve in 2023 modern day Britain, from the tricky history and ideals around decisions we might make if we were in charge today! See you next week for our final episode of series 1! Love from Hannah and MC x ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The 'clean girl' aesthetic (we are tired)

What's your morning routine? Maybe you don't have one? Do you want one? Today, Hannah and I discuss what the 'clean girl' aesthetic means, and how perhaps a culture of toxic productivity could be doing us more harm than good. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Is Barbie a generational icon?

We are BACK after a little hiatus for a brand new episode! A little break was much needed but we really missed recording! Much like many people, I watched the trailer for the new Barbie film set to release in July and became so excited to watch the film. This got me thinking about Barbie as a character, as a person of influence on young girls growing up and how she has shaped how women view themselves and other women. I posed the question; is Barbie a feminist icon? Whilst Hannah and myself have similar opinions on things 99% of the time, it was so interesting to reveal that Barbie was going to be the person to make us disagree! What are your thoughts? Did Barbie, or Ken, or Action-man have a role to play in your life aspirations as a child, or did it not have an impact? It was really fun to reminisce on some favourite childhood memories and toys Hannah and I shared, so listen to hear our 2010 karaoke outbreak and share your opinions on Miss Barbie. Thank you for listening and supporting our pod. Love, Hannah and MC x @youngandstrugglingpod ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Everything we know about friendship

Happy Friday lovely friends! This week, myself and Hannah offer our reflections on friendships. This is a topic I find myself spending a lot of time thinking about. Your 20's can be a tumultuos time in general for many people, and one aspect of this that comes into play time and time again is the sometimes transient nature of friendships. Some friendships are for a reason, and some friendships are for a season, right? That being said, the beauty of friendship is too often lost and overlooked, but this week we wanted to bring it right back in the centre of things and celebrate the joys of human platonic connection and all it has to offer. What is one value you hold most dearly in friendship? Have a great weekend! Love, MC and Hannah x ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
