  • EP6: Should we be asking men out of the first dates? Dating over 40 - The New Non-Negotiables Part 2

    Remember when your biggest dating requirement was “must have a six-pack”? Yeah... things have changed. In this episode, we’re talking about how our relationship priorities evolve with age—what we used to want, what we really need now, and why dating over 40 can actually be way more empowering (and way less dramatic). From emotional intelligence to shared values, we’re diving into the grown-up glow-up of modern love.

  • EP4: Self-Care or Self-Obsession? Let’s Talk.

    In celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s Month, this episode is a reflective and honest conversation about how far we’ve come—and the freedoms we now embrace. From the rise of self-care and aesthetics to the evolving standards of beauty and the normalisation of plastic surgery, we unpack how modern women are redefining what it means to feel good in their skin. I also share my own generational perspective, recognising how access, priorities, and privilege shape our experiences as women today.

  • EP 3: Mothering Sunday: Beyond Mums & More

    Mothering Sunday—it’s all about mums, right? Well… not exactly. Sure, mums deserve all the love, but let’s not forget the aunties who slip you cash like secret agents, the big sisters who taught you the art of the perfect side-eye!

    Grab a drink and toast to our mums and unsung heroes who’ve had our backs.

  • EP2: Laptops, Drinks and Love: The Friendship Edition Part 2

    Ah, February—the month of love, overpriced chocolates, and suddenly remembering you have a gym membership. But who says romance should get all the attention? This episode, we’re raising a glass (or a laptop) to friendships!

    Sure, friendships feel like cozy, judgment-free zones where you can send memes instead of emotional texts, but let’s be real—deep, meaningful connections need more than just inside jokes and shared WiFi. They require vulnerability (yes, the scary kind), trust (not just with your Netflix password), and emotional honesty (even when admitting you re-watch your ex’s stories).

    So, grab your favorite drink and let’s chat about opening up, strengthening bonds, and making friendships last—because love isn’t just for couples, and let’s face it, your bestie has probably seen you through more disasters than any Valentine ever will.
