  • Almost Quit

    Raj went to see Haim's "I Quit" tour and it got her thinking...

    What do people wish they could quit in relationships? What made them angry recently that made them realise they need to quit something - did they do it? What do they need to quit to feel free?

    Raj is fuming about someone asking her to work for free , she's ready to move to Mamdani's New York (Shakira Law included) and of course she's getting into why having a boyfriend is embarrassing...

  • Almost What Susannah Would Have Wanted

    It's no secret Raj is a fan of teen tv shows and this Summer a lot of grown women joined her on that so this is the official (unofficial) GROWN WOMEN debrief of Jenny Han's nostalgia fueled hit Prime series The Summer I Turned Pretty.

    WARNING: Raj is Team Jeremiah, if you're a Conrad girl, you might not like this

    Women in their later 30's +40's get into why it had millennial women in a chokehold, why they identify as Team Conrad/Jere/Belly/Paris, their thoughts on the other teams, hot takes, what they wanted to see in the series, what they want to see in the movie.

    This could have easily been a 4 hour episode. Forgive me not making the Thursday deadline - I was editing all night!

  • Almost A Match

    Raj has decided to leave dating apps for good, so she recorded this episode as evidence. This means if you ever see her on a dating app again you should report her directly to [email protected]

    Let's see if anyone else's experiences can sway her (spoiler alert, the only person who had anything positive to say about apps was a man).

  • Almost An Adult: Saima
