Mate.

Mate. is back with a brand new series!

This week we are discussing all of the books we have been reading over the Christmas break, the TV shows and series that have kept us company over the cold winter nights and some of the incredible articles we have read featured on Man Repeller. First up, we reflect on how being ‘needy’ got a bad rep. We take a look at how language is affecting us, can we all just stop saying sorry and try a little more thank you instead?

Is leaning way in to who you really are the way forward? Let’s all just own our bad qualities and not feel shamed. We also take a look at the overwhelming nature of advice culture.

As always, just so other people can find us too - please leave a review & rating – or even subscribe to us if you like us a lot!

The Christmas countdown begins and here to bring the festive cheer is Episode 7 - our last episode of the series and 2018! This week we discuss all things Christmas and our favourite festive traditions. We discuss the theory being pushed in the media that millennials are not having that much sex and when they are having it - is it really that enjoyable? We dissect our relationships with our breasts and how we found pure joy in solitude. We also cover whether always wanting to be the cool girl can suppress your real feelings. We have absolutely loved creating this podcast for you all and bringing you our favourite articles and discussions. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This week in episode 6 we discuss how everybody is waxing lyrical about CBD oil and the benefits. We take a look at the issues of sustainability within the beauty industry and how we can be more mindful when shopping. Something we can both relate to is the pressure to have an Instagram perfect weekend and how it can often wind up ruining your actual weekend, leaving you feeling deflated. We also discuss the evolving and changing dynamics within a family. We hope you enjoy the episode and we can’t wait to see you all next week at our 'A Date With Mate' event!

We have some very exciting news to share with you all in this episode! But first, what is relationship ‘Orbiting’ and how do you know if it is happening to you? We discuss how to deal with an energy sucking friend and how to approach friends when we just can’t afford to hang out with. We chat about why we both love our commute to work and our theory on why we are all going wild for Timothée Chalamet.

This week we discuss the art and importance of diary keeping and how, similarly to a fine wine, we only get better with age. We air out our personal woes on pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones and feeling the fear and doing it anyway. We discuss the dreaded imposter syndrome that can creep up when you least expect it. We hope you enjoy the episode and please remember to rate, review and subscribe!

Guess who's back after a long summer holiday? This week we are discussing all the articles that have kept us company during the long-haul flights, with everything ranging from our relationships with our body hair to being a generation of so-called flakes. Also hear all of our foodie recommendations from our travels in London and New York!

Welcome to Episode 2 of Mate! This week we are discussing how to navigate life as when you're extra sensitive and dealing with the desperate need to people please. We take a closer look at millennials and their side hustles and share our opinions on settling down in your twenties.
