    Celia Li, a content creator and podcast host, discusses her journey towards self-love, embracing femininity, and empowering women. She opens up about her past relationships, including a nine-year relationship where she sacrificed her own needs and a turbulent one-year involvement with a toxic partner.

    The conversation delves into the challenges women face, such as societal pressures, body image issues, and the pursuit of balance between empowerment and traditional gender roles. Celia emphasizes the need for self-compassion, acknowledging emotions, and treating oneself with kindness during difficult times. She also highlights the importance of understanding a woman's menstrual cycle and how it affects her emotions and needs.

    The discussion touches on sensitive topics like domestic violence, emotional abuse, and the impact of trauma on future relationships. Both Celia and the hosts candidly share personal experiences, underlining the complexity of unhealthy dynamics and the difficulty of breaking free. The episode ultimately reinforces the message of self-love, authenticity, and the pursuit of healthy, empowering relationships.

  • Season 2 Ep10. Trust
    After someone unceremoniously dumped Les (by text!) there were a few things he wanted to get off his chest. This episode accidentally came about from a discussion we were having off camera at the time, but quickly got deeper into our personal trust issues and how that’s shaped our lives and attitudes as we’ve grown up.

  • Season 2 Ep9. Buying our first home
    We recorded this the day before Les moved into his first ever home after five months of waiting for solicitors to pull their shit together. He literally went home and packed his van after we wrapped. Since then it’s been mayhem, but buying a place is a nightmare all the way through. Marlon talks about what it’s like buying as a newly-wed couple in London, and we have a laugh and a bitch about the ordeal that most first time buyers are subjected to just to set up roots.

  • Season 2 Ep8. Living abroad
    Marlon spent two years growing up in Jamaica as a local, while Les was living the expat dream in Malaysia at the same time. We’ve found we had quite a lot of surprising experiences in common from our time away, like how it feels when you go home and “sound weird”, but there were some pretty shocking differences too. Anyone who’s been away from home for a little while will find something in here for them.
