Fear of Missing Out is usually talked about as something to fix, quieten, or grow out of. But what if FOMO is actually trying to tell us something important?

In this first episode of Season Two, we explore FOMO across generations - from the pressure to “be on track” in your twenties to the looking-back and taking-stock that comes later in life. We talk about comparison, ageing, social media, missed opportunities, regret, and the quiet fear of choosing wrong.

Along the way, we ask whether FOMO is really about other people at all - or whether it’s a signal pointing us back towards our own values, desires, and sense of meaning.

A conversation about time, choice, and learning not to punish ourselves - at any age.

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 other, but to listeners — and how having these conversations has shifted how we see ourselves, our generations, and what’s possible across age.

It’s a wrap-up, a thank you, and an invitation: to keep listening, to keep talking, and to have one real conversation with someone from a different generation.

Season Two is coming.

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.

From PictureHouse memberships and National Trust cards to hand cream, cosy books, cameras, theatre trips, homemade drawings and even a surprise roll of kitchen paper… this is a warm, funny, chaotic chat about how two generations think about gifts, clutter, love languages, and what we really want this year.

It’s thoughtful, it’s heartfelt, it’s unfiltered - and it might just change the way you buy presents.

Anji and Annie dive into the world of generational labels - Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and the freshly-minted Alphas. Are these categories helpful, or just another way of putting people in boxes?

From snowflake stereotypes and “out of touch” clichés, to early-2000s phones, COVID micro-generations, work ethic, entitlement, politics, and the tattoos that apparently give everyone away… this episode unpacks what actually shapes us.

With real personal stories, a few emotional moments, and plenty of laughter, Anji and Annie explore the truth behind growing up in different times - and why curiosity (and the occasional reality check) matters more than any label.

It’s honest, funny, revealing, and very Too Young for This, Too Old for That.

One cried in toilet cubicles, one grew up on TikTok therapy. Here's what happened next.

In this episode, Anji and Annie dive into how mental health has shifted across generations - from crying in loo cubicles in the 90s to therapy TikTok, wellness trends and the pressure to constantly ‘do the work’. Annie opens up about her own mental health journey, Anji shares candidly about grief, family illness and finding strength through Eastern philosophy, and together they explore the fine line between insight and overwhelm.
It’s honest, emotional, funny in places and very real - a wiggly-line conversation about what it actually means to be okay.

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. They swap stories from NCT mum-tribes to drama school mates, ask whether men and women can just be friends, and talk chosen family, social media boundaries, and the grief of losing a best friend. Plus: this week’s “Too Young / Too Old” moments, and a ginger-ale twist on Wilfrid’s.

🎧 Tune in for warmth, wisdom, and a reminder that some of the best friendships come when you least expect them.
