Bittersweet Podcast

We sit down with Dr. Tsion Berhane, founder of Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery, for an unfiltered conversation about the world of cosmetic surgery — from overhyped procedures and beauty trends to the realities of going under the knife. We also get into the judgment she’s faced within the Habesha community, why she sees cosmetic surgery as more than vanity, and whether there’s ever a point where enough is enough.

This week on Bittersweet, we’re joined by Weezy — host of Decisions, Decisions, co-founder of WTF Media Studios and Trap Haus Studios, and bestselling author — for a conversation that genuinely goes EVERYWHERE. We get into the realities of dating intentionally, what you should actually expect from a first date an why everyone just wants to f*** on first dates, boundaries and finding a relationship that works for you. Weezy also opens up about her engagement and her approach to non-monogamy. Beyond relationships, we talk entrepreneurship, building multiple businesses, being a multi-hyphenate and what it really looks like to build alongside the people you love.

We’re back! Welcome to the first episode of our Bittersweet North America Tour.

This week, we’re in Toronto and joined by our favourite middle school teacher, content creator and new mum, Zahra Hassan! We chat about how Zahra got into content creation, the importance of representation in the classroom and the impact it has on young people, stepping into motherhood for the first time, and the guilt and pressure that can come with trying to balance it all. And of course, we had to play Bitter or Sweet — debating matching aesthetics with your partner, and whether you can stay close with your single and child-free friends when you’re entering a completely different stage of life.

I recently travelled to South Korea and decided to get a lower blepharoplasty (under-eye bag surgery). In this episode, I'm giving a full breakdown of my experience—from why I chose to do it, researching clinics, the procedure itself, recovery, costs, and what I wish I knew beforehand.

Be So For Real: This week we're discussing Hailey Bieber's $30 Erewhon smoothie. Is it actually worth the hype, or are people just paying for the aesthetic?

This week, we're joined by one of your favourite seasoned hosts, Milena B. We unpack the Painted by Esther & Patrick Ta controversy, why women sometimes settle for less than they deserve, and how to know when a friendship has run its course. When is it worth working through, and when is it time to let go?

This week, we're joined by the talented, seven-time Aria Awards winner, Genesis Owusu. We spoke about his Australian tour and dived into his latest project Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge — from the inspiration behind it to where his sound and style truly originate. We talk vulnerability in rap, creating music that feels honest, staying connected to fans and why authenticity has remained at the centre of everything he does.

Of course, we had to get into some Bittersweet conversations too: unsolicited advice from people who haven’t lived your experience, navigating outside opinions about your career, whether people with influence and wealth have a responsibility to stay connected to everyday people and calling out cheaters.

This week’s episode is a special one — all the way from the UK with British-Nigerian artist Darkoo!

This conversation goes everywhere. From women loving “ugly” men, craziest icks, and chaotic dating stories… to going viral at a young age, navigating the highs and lows of the industry, and why losing might actually be the best thing that can happen to you.

Darkoo opens up about her journey, the reality of staying ready in an unpredictable career, and the importance of growth, resilience, and protecting your mental along the way.

So excited to bring you this one all the way from the UK — we sat down with R&B singer, songwriter and producer ODEAL during his Australia tour.

We get into his music journey, how his sound has evolved, and the moment he realised things were really taking off. He also speaks on staying present and enjoying the process as everything grows.

And of course, we tap into the Bittersweet side — from his most toxic dating moments to how his “type” has changed, and why holiday romances will always hit different.
