Send us a text In this final episode of Season One, we pause. Instead of diving into a new topic, we look back at what it’s been like to create this podcast - as two women from different generations who barely knew each other when we started. We reflect on the moments that surprised us, the conversations that stayed with us, and what we’ve learned about work, mental health, money, confidence and connection along the way. We talk honestly about what it felt like to open up — not just to each o...

08 - Too Much Stuff, Not Enough Thought? Our Honest Gift Guide

Send us a text Christmas is meant to be magical… but somewhere between the Secret Santas, scented candles and panic-buying “tat,” the whole thing has got a bit commercial. In this episode, Anji and Annie sit down for an honest conversation about gifting - what feels meaningful, what we actually remember and why sometimes the best presents aren’t things at all.

07 - Gen X Meets Gen Z: Stereotypes, Snowflakes & The Truth!

Send us a text Anji and Annie dive into the world of generational labels - Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and the freshly-minted Alphas.

04 - Friendship - No Age Limits

Send us a text Who would’ve thought a 23-year-old actor and a 53-year-old osteopath would become besties? In this episode, Anji (53) and Annie (23) unpack friendship across generations: the roles we play, how fast bonds can form, curating vs collecting pals, “season and reason”, and what happens when friendships drift—or end.

03 - Confidence – Fake It, Feel It, Own It

Send us a text This week, Annie and Anji unpack the big one - confidence. From audition nerves to corporate boardrooms, they explore what it really means to own the room: is confidence something you’re born with, or something you bluff until it sticks? Anji shares stories from her banking days and a few unforgettable cringe moments, while Annie recalls the drama-school highs, lows and how teaching across wildly different schools has shaped her belief that confidence can be taught - and should...

Send us a text Two women, three decades apart, two completely different Friday nights. 😅 In this episode, Annie (23, drama-school grad, proud non-clubber) spends the evening watching the Downton Abbey film with her parents and a cinema full of delighted OAPs, while Anji (53, osteopath, ex-banker, secret raver) is out at Annie Mac’s “Before Midnight” - dancing hard and still home by 10.30pm. From 90s nights out with no mobiles, night buses and hoping a random minicab was legit, to today’...

01 - From Banking to Backbones: Choosing Passion over a “Proper Job”

Send us a text Annie (23, actor, just out of drama school) and Anji (53, osteopath and ex-banker) get honest about one of the messiest adult questions: do you pick the secure, sensible path… or the thing that actually lights you up? They swap origin stories - Annie ditching the uni conveyor belt to audition for drama school while all her friends headed to Exeter and Durham, and Anji leaving a well-paid, high-status banking career to retrain in her late 30s - and compare what it really feels l...
