In this episode, Juliet and Anniki talk about grief and distraction techniques. We also talk about drinking (but are definitely not advocating booze as a solution to grief- see resources below if you need help with drinking or drug addiction). Also, dating and how much it's changed and is changing. Also, what's on your bucket list? Do you have one or do you find the whole idea stressful- like you...

5. Boomer parents, Having a Scarcity Mindset and WE LOVE Kate Moss 03.04.2025 29:28

In this episode Juliet and Anniki talk about growing up with Boomer parents. It was an entirely different way of parenting back then but have we lost any of that in the way we parent now? The boundaries between parents and kids felt more defined and was this a good thing? Also were we more street wise because we were 100% free range in our teens? We also talk about Kate Moss and how Anniki always...

Why do women sometimes enjo...

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...

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 impla...
