Between Neens & Deens

this conversation is necessary, it is one of many and it is imperfect. this week we talk about #blacklivesmatter, police brutality, white supremacy and anti-blackness in our own communities. there have been a lot of people who are afraid to speak up because they fear they may say the wrong things but it is better to speak up and do so imperfectly than to stay silent. we are all learning, we are all educating ourselves and we all have the ability to change our opinion and unlearn the racism we have been taught. the most open minded people are those that can accept new information and criticism, own up to their knowledge deficit and change their mind. we are in the midst of a monumental civil rights movement and the fight doesn't end here: have uncomfortable conversations, protest, donate, educate yourselves and continue to hold space for black people. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at [email protected]

we answer all your questions about moving in together: how we split our rent, groceries, furniture expenses, how it affected our sex life and what we do to take space from one another from time to time. *this episode was prerecorded and set to launch this week. with everything going on with regards to #blacklivesmatter and discussions on police brutality, white supremacy and anti-blackness, we want to take the time to address that we are doing everything we can to donate, listen and learn from black voices and educate ourselves. next week's episode will be an important discussion on race, not cause it's trendy or cause it's about us, but because we want to encourage everyone to not be afraid to speak up on what's right. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at [email protected]

there's a lot to consider before moving in together: the cost, the location and the timing. this week we're talking about how we knew it was the right time for us to move out together into our first apartment rental back in 2018 and how we found the perfect apartment. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at [email protected]

wow two weeks has flown by and at the same time, it feels like forever ago that I birthed our baby boy. in this week's episode we talk about how my recovery's been, the struggle to get enough sleep, the amount of crying that we were totally unprepared for and how parenthood has affected our relationship with one another. it is everything I imagined it'd be and it's a million times harder than I imagined it'd be. but I mean have you seen how cute he is? worth it. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at [email protected]

it's pretty wild that we set out to do a natural home birth and I ended up with an emergency c-section after four awful days of labour. this is our birth story and it totally did not go according to plan. *I get pretty emotional in this, yeah it surprised me too, but it goes to show just how raw these emotions are and how there is still so much for me to work through when it comes to processing the birth of our beautiful baby boy. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at [email protected]

don't get me wrong, we love being together and we loved being in love BUT being single had it's perks. do you love or hate being single? we talk about all the things we loved and struggled with during our single years and learn a few new things about each other. we also discuss ways to enjoy being single, how to know when you're okay with being single and maybe some things you should stop doing while single (ex. chasing people who don't like you back).

I would never want to get cheated on again, cause it sucked big time, but it was seriously the best thing that ever happened to me. we talk about the times we both got cheated on, how we coped with it, how we learned to trust again and how to get over the fear of being cheated on in our future relationships. stick around for our Q+A at the end and if you have any questions for future episodes, feel free to DM us! hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at [email protected]

consider this: confessions of a cheater. it's no secret that Dejan's cheated in the past; he's very transparent about his past indiscretions. so in this week's episode, we do a little deep dive into his experiences as we try to understand: what drives someone to cheat? is it something you can change? and how do you cope with the guilt and decisions you've made in your past? it's a painful trip down memory lane, but we hope you can learn from our mistakes. stick around for the Q+A at the end where we answer all your hot pressing questions. hosted by @yourgirlneens and @dejansdayoff / find us on IG @neensanddeens. interested in advertising on our show? email us at [email protected]
