This week we speak on the ‘stay-at-home girlfriend’. The idea has been around for a long time but has only recently become an online trend. Is the whole thing anti-feminist or outdated, or is it simply a lifestyle choice we shouldn’t judge or make assumptions about? We also touch on the little mermaid live-action drama. Why are people so pressed about Ariel being black? It’s screaming racism to us!

This week we started the episode by playing the card game @werenotreallystrangers. 

We then talk about validation and why we seek it and our experience with insecurities. Whether subconsciously or consciously we all seek validation, from our family, friends, and/or peers but when does it become toxic? How much weight does the opinion of others hold in your life and how do you rediscover who you are without the influence of these opinions? We're really getting into it ya'll!

This week we sat down with Aisha Hassan (@aisha_h). Aisha is a writer, stylist and advocate. In this episode, she breaks down her creative journey from seamstress, stylist, and community advocate to writer and how she managed to align herself with passion by changing her mindset and focusing on the things that she truly enjoys.

We spoke about how she started interviewing for established platforms including @acclaimmagazine & @poccmag, pushing past the anxiety of showcasing your work and learning to let go of things that no longer serve a purpose in your life.

This week we unpack one of social media’s most recent movements the 'soft life era'. Is this just another trend? Or is it a way of life that can help us take care of our physical and mental wellbeing? We also give our thoughts on a TruthoffMyChest Reddit post ‘I want a divorce after 9 months of marriage but people in my surroundings seem to think this is odd and immature.' A lot of saucy takes in this episode friends, be sure to tune in!
