In this episode (which contains VERY STRONG LANGUAGE) Juliet and Anniki discuss how rejection builds resilience, but it's a muscle that you have to build up over time. We also talk about ADOLESCENCE, the Netflix series that everyone is talking about right now. Also, how our own childhoods were not digital at all but still had their dangers (phone lines that were not moderated for example). We also talk about the C word (so this is definitely not family friendly listening- get those headphones on!)

In this weeks Bantz, Juliet and Anniki discuss the complexities of grief and how the journey is rarely linear. When you lose a parent your reality is severely shaken and you never fully recover.
They also discuss 'White Lotus,' (who isn't!) and the toxic friendship between former high school BFFs Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan), Laurie (Carie Coon) and Kate (Leslie Bibb). Why do women sometimes enjoy it when their friends are going through tough times? What do you do when you have women who pretend they're concerned but are secretly happy about your trauma?
And what about the world of online trolls? Should you ever read comments when you're a writer or actor? And what happens if they tap into the very thing you hate about yourself the most? Please do take time to drop us a rating and review!
WARNING: This episode talks in some detail about grief and losing a parent

This week hosts Juliet Cowan and Anniki Sommerville talk about acting and getting Botox. What happens when you can’t move your face because you’ve had too much of a good thing? Is it a good thing? And are we celebrating older women in Hollywood or just women who look young? Also how do you deal with wealthy friends who make you feel bad about your crap holidays? And some great make up tips if you’re stuck in the 90s (but not in a good way).

Welcome to Bantz- the new podcast for women navigating the highs, lows and in-betweens of modern life. This week hosts Juliet Cowan and Anniki Sommerville talk about age gap relationships - is it okay when older women objectify young men? Also what about medieval times and sex? Didn’t they have more back then and finally what happens when your teeth fall out and you can’t (yet) afford to get implants.
