Beyond The Superficial

A civil and friendly "debate" on evolution and religion, inspired by The Jubilee on YouTube. We share some of our views on Christianity, Darwinism, and everything in between. Which side are you on?

In this week's episode, we take a look at generational trauma and how we can break the cycle. We discuss the roles our parents and siblings played in our past and how that has affected our present day. We look into the various ways we can mend familial relationships and the importance of breaking generational cycles, so we don't pass them on to our future relationships and generations.

Y’all ready to get personal??! This week we get REAL REAL about some of the most difficult experiences we’ve been through in relationships. We talk about what we’ve learned, the importance of telling your story, and how the vulnerability is a major key to thriving in healthy relationships. You don't wanna miss this therapy sesh between Trish and Ashley!

This episode explores womanhood and our experiences with our ever-changing bodies and hormones, how we deal with breakouts and pressures put on us to look and dress a certain way to appeal to society. We also have a little kiki about skin/hair care, birth control, and our tried-and-tested period and skincare products! Let us be your aunties and help you find answers to your burning questions about your wonderfully unique (and sometimes scary) journey of puberty. 

This episode explores the three different attachment styles and how they influence close relationships' dynamics. We talk about our personal experiences, the things we learned and wished we would have known, red and green flags, and everything in between. 

In this episode, we dig deep into the world of social media: does it do more harm than good? We talk about the science behind algorithm and ads, the neuroscience behind humans indulging in endless scrolling, what psychology has to say about habits and addiction, and share insights from our favourite podcasts and documentaries about the social media dilemma.

In this episode, we reminisce about our early 20's, the highs and lows of living by ourselves while learning from our experiences, leaving bad habits behind, and embracing this newfound independence. 

In this episode, we talk about all things adulthood- from raging university parties, crying in public, to figuring out how dishwashers work.

Just three roommates, chilling on a couch on a Tuesday evening, starting off the first episode of their podcast, 'Beyond the Superficial'. They talk about what this podcast is going to be, swimming as a person of colour, and the inspiration behind the name of the podcast.
