In this episode we discuss the rules of Girl Code and whether it even exists in Zimbabwe. Are girls down for other girls or are we in constant competition with each other?

Is girl code important at all and who decides on the rules. Let's not forget that Boy Code is also suffering in this teapot country. So what do we do? How do we do better?

TWO dilemmas this week!!! What advise would you give? The girls need your help.

Have you ever thought that maybe your mother is toxic? Have you ever felt like whatever you do is not good enough? Does she come down on you about everything - looks, dressing, personality, weight etc?

In this episode we talk about surviving toxic relationships with our mothers.

Share your experiences with us and let's talk about it.

Are we intellectually doomed to the extent that we cannot critically engage in topics anymore, read for ourselves and form our own opinions, relying on social media and other people to tell us what to think? In this episode we discuss whether we are still a people that read books, listen to informative material like podcasts and watch youtube videos on things with substance or are we now addicted to "trash tv", scandals etc?

Do we still have the capability to critically engage with information objectively, keep an open mind and form your own opinion that will be respected even if it goes against the loudest and contrary voice.

Who creates the narrative of what is right or wrong? And what makes that the common opinion?

In this episode we discuss the controversies surrounding the Doek & Slay festivals and the discourse around why it is inconceivable that women can come together at an event and have a good time without it turning into something negative.

We also discuss the classism issue around the "type of woman" who attends this event and classism in general in Harare especially in the music space and boiling down to classism even in our own families. What is that about???

We give our advice on how to cut off toxic friends when you have mutual friends in this week's dilamma.
