Without the safety blanket of forced proximity in education, building friendships as an adult can feel like stepping into the unknown. Suddenly, connection isn’t handed to you! It has to be intentional, but how do you actually go about it? Is it weird to drop a message to someone you don’t know if you like their vibe online, or is that just the 2025 way of saying hello?In this episode, we break down the truths about making friends in your twenties. It turns out, there are a lot of surprising parallels to dating. You still need your criteria and the courage to put thoughts into action. While TV and film paint connection as something that happens effortlessly, the reality is often messier, and can possibly leave you thinking… when will it be my turn?!CREDITS -Hosts: Lilyemma & ElizProduced by: Blonde VibrationsEdited by: Becky WassellWith thanks to: All of our lovely friends, whether we met this week or many years ago!

We see you, with the fake followers and fake love…Was Amelia Dimoldenberg an overnight success? Did Sabrina Carpenter reach viral fame with her debut single? Absolutely not! With many ‘sudden’ success story, there are years of trials, failures, and endurance to keep going with your passion.This week, we discuss the messiness of creating, including constant rebrands and the ‘cringe’ of posting into the void. Is it sellout behaviour to chase trends in place of making art that feels natural to you? We consider the avenues of growing an audience in an authentic and sustainable way, and whether we can truly survive in an industry that thrives upon the ‘algorithmic gaze’.With increasing pressure to ‘make it’, embarrassment in failing publicly, and the unpredictability of the online sphere, we unpack the myths of podcasting and content creation. Whether this reaches a million people, or just our parents, this one is for you. Lots of love,Lilyemma & Eliz xxx

You have all heard the hypotheticals like ‘would we have been friends in high school?’ and ‘would we be friends in every universe?’ This week, we flip the script and ask the more uncomfortable, potentially controversial question of whether the friends you made in your adolescence would still pass the friendship test today. We discuss the realities of growing up and apart, and how these bonds hold up when your timelines no longer naturally align, and the versions of who you once were have shifted. Of course, we could not resist bringing Rory Gilmore into the conversation because, well, it’s us. Warning: this episode may either bring you existential dread, or make you feel closer to your friends than ever before!Lots of love,Lilyemma & Eliz

Should we just ‘log off’ and listen to our own devices?This week on Blonde Vibrations, we’re getting a little bit meta - in a world of dilemma discussing podcasts, and Dolly Alderton’s survival guides to finding love in London… Should we really be taking romantic advice from strangers? We know, pot calling kettle black, but hear us out!We have grown up watching pretty much every romantic situation occur in front of our very eyes, graduating from watching ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging’ to ‘How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days’, even witnessing and learning from the many dating mistakes made by relationship columnist, one and only, Carrie Bradshaw. We have truly been conditioned to seek external wisdom. Is it any wonder that social media apps have become our modern day oracle for love, to relate to others while keeping our anonymity intact? But, are we actually looking for guidance, or just validation of what we already believe? Perhaps we just scrolling through an echo chamber of our own thoughts, never challenging our unhealed beliefs. Let’s talk unsolicited opinions, the power of romanticised advice, and whether it’s finally time to close the app and trust our own instincts.Lots of love,Lilyemma & Eliz xxx

This week, we tap into the often taboo topic of parasocial relationships, the one-sided bonds we form with celebrities, influencers, and even podcasters (hi, besties!!)There is often a fine line between a harmless connection and something more damaging to a fan or artist’s mental health. Could these ‘friendships’ be more than just shared devotion, maybe even a marketing strategy? We unpack the blurred lines, power dynamics, and when it can truly foster meaningful connections between those who met by this fate!Let’s discuss… before we all start drafting wedding vows for Luke Hemmings again.Lots of love,Lilyemma & Eliz xxx

The world of Ocean LeClair has an intensely powerful energy that pulled us in immediately.

Josie joins us to share how she uplifts both herself and her audience through heartfelt songwriting, curating collections of songs to reflect distinct time periods, and what's to come for potential collaborations (we're looking at you, Rose Gray...) Thanks for Tuning In! Until next time xx

Overproduction, over arrogant… overkill? In the creative field, we all bask in the glory of setting a vision and seeing it come to fruition through our hard work and verve. However, do we really have to be the FIRST to press publish? This week, we delve into to the very scary, but very real topic of the damage of excess within content creation on your friendships, work ethic and ultimately your reputation. Is the ‘grindset’ simply an indicator of motivation, and ability to make power moves, or does it mask a potential fear of stopping, stepping back and taking time to complete a project? We would love to know what you think about this one, especially if you are in a creative field yourself - can you thrive like this, is there longevity within continuous overproduction?

We are back with new episodes, new vibrations, and new resolutions! 2025 is about welcoming more of the things that make your days better and allow you to be the happiest version of yourself. We are banishing anything that holds us back from finding our true selves, which is why we explore what we want 'more of' and 'less of' this year! (Think of it as the ins and outs, but slightly less demanding...) On the agenda is: striking the balance between staying informed and being overloaded with negative content, facing the physical and mental challenge of removing tension to see a clearer vision of what stands before us, and question if we really need to be so competitive within creative fields (spoiler: no, nope, never!) We also discuss how we can find peace in our home with DIY and crafts, and removing men from our narrative while allowing yourself romantic goals if and when you desire. What steps have you taken to learn from 2024, and make 2025 YOUR year? We cannot wait to ride this wave with you!

For our holiday finale, we have one last dose of drama! Should partners ever be uninvited from family celebrations, or is that a festive foul play? Also, what happens when a poorly chosen gift becomes the final straw, leaving relationships to crumble before the New Year’s Eve kiss? With the busy holiday hustle and bustle, the pressure can sometimes turn you into a full-on Grinch. Let us decide whether you have been naughty or nice this year...

It’s officially Blondemas, and we are deciding whether you've been acting naughty or nice.

Also, is it acceptable (or at the least understandable) to exclude a partner from the family Christmas card?

We’ve made our list and we’re checking it twice! This Blondemas, we’re here to decide if you’re the Grinch of the holiday season and if a lump of coal is heading your way! Curiosity often gets the better of us, but is it ever okay to sneakily peek through a partner’s belongings to uncover your Christmas presents?

How lucky are we to have such wonderful opportunities come our way, and how lucky are we to have time to stop and think about how we feel about them.Optimism is on the mind this week, let’s discuss working towards positive thinking, and how we can train ourselves to welcome the good things that happen, with open arms.It could be low self-esteem, negative past outcomes, or even the position that women hold within a male-dominated society that stops us in our tracks. We delve into the steps to take, to accept the win no matter what anyone else thinks. Your win is not their loss, and if you are stopping yourself from achieving happiness, the only person it holds back... is you.Lots of love,Lilyemma & Eliz xxx

Here comes the bridesmaid! Oh wait…Should we be held to the promises we make months, or maybe even years ago? If you have asked somebody to do the honour of being your bridesmaid for the most SPECIAL day of your life, can you just… fire them?It may sound harsh initially, but there’s many factors at play. Disagreements, budgets and changing dynamics of friendships blur the lines of right and wrong when it comes to this seemingly tragic dumping. Can the friendship survive a shake up of this magnitude?

We dive into the controversial realm of online personas on social media and the misleading perceptions they can create both purposefully or accidentally. Is it wrong to presume you know someone based solely on their digital presence? We explore the dangers of parasocial relationships and feeling a sense of connection to individuals we do not know on a personal level. From influencers to celebrities, we dissect marketing schemes and benefits that fuel these one-sided connections and discuss the dangers of falling for the allure of crafted personas. Are parasocial relationships the new norm in this digital age? Perhaps it just comes with the territory… Lots of love, Lilyemma & Eliz xxx

Let’s unpack the realm of content creation and the friction that can result from it. This week, we delve into the balancing act of protecting your comfort and boundaries, with a loved one’s online creative expression; when an online identity begins to create a divide between the two of you. Can we overcome the cringe factor when perceiving our own and, more importantly, other people’s online content? Perhaps there’s a line that can be crossed if communication is lacking…Lots of love,Lilyemma & Eliz

Careers, romance, life purpose. We are all on our own path. Whilst we should be focusing on our individual journey, sometimes we cannot help but look to compare our progress to friends that just ooze productivity, and seem to have it all figured out.Am I not good enough? Can they celebrate my wins and support me during my times of stagnancy or when I lack progress? Since when is this a competition? If this line of questioning sounds familiar, Maybe it is time to reconsider your mindset or maybe even the friendship… Let’s talk.Lots of love,Lilyemma & Eliz

We all have our boundaries when it comes to dating, some more stringent than others. This week, the Blonde Vibrations team discusses enforcing your limits on dating apps and setting expectations for yourself and others around you when you choose to go alcohol-free. Lots of love, Lilyemma & Eliz

Happy days - you have met the love of your life! The person you have spent many days swiping, searching, and going through the trial and error of dating for... well done! Should all be perfect, right... right? But now, months down the line, you notice the relationship with your absolute best friends is simply not as strong or even wildly different. This week, we discuss whether the drifting of friendships is simply inevitable when we enter into new relationships, and how we can avoid these changes.
