🎙️ Barely Thriving Podcast | Episode 16

In this episode of Barely Thriving Podcast, we’re talking girl maths, boy maths, and why everyone seems to believe their own logic… no matter how questionable it is.

Amy and Aseah unpack how girl maths turns refunds into profit, cash payments into “free money,” and £60 water bottles into long-term investments. Meanwhile, boy maths somehow includes eight beers, inflated height claims, and the confidence to stand by all of it.

We also discuss princess treatment after finding a man who experienced it for the first time and realised why women have been asking for it all along.

It’s funny, chaotic, slightly unhinged, and painfully relatable.

Topics include:

• Girl maths explained

• Boy maths logic

• Height delusion

• Internet culture & modern dating expectations

Not advice. Just vibes.

🎙️ Barely Thriving Podcast | Episode 15

Bare minimum vs princess treatment, independent women, January delusion, and why modern dating feels like a full-time job with no benefits.

This week we talk not needing a man, first date expectations, messaging first, and how our 2026 “health era” collapsed by the 7th of January (thanks McDonald’s).

Relatable chaos. Honest takes. Barely thriving energy.

🎙️ Barely Thriving Podcast | Episode 14

Apparently women are the ick now… according to the internet. So naturally, we had to talk about it.

In this episode of Barely Thriving, we react to hot takes, comments, and opinions about what supposedly makes women “unattractive”, “annoying”, or “the problem”. 

It’s honest, chaotic, occasionally unhinged, and very much us trying to make sense of the internet without losing our minds.

If you’ve ever read a comment section and thought “are we actually okay?” .. this one’s for you.

ChatGPT Wrapped exposed our delusions... and we’re not okay 🤖😭

In Episode 11 of Barely Thriving, Amy & Aseah unpack their ChatGPT Wrapped, dating chaos, red string theory beliefs, and the very millennial habit of asking the universe (and AI) for reassurance.

Barely thriving… but self-aware.
