November 07, 2025 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...

October 03, 2025 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!
