Hello my lovelies!!

I have returneth, and upon my arrival, I have gifted you a spectacular episode with the one and only Jai. I met Jai at Cambridge while we were both undertaking an MPhil in Development Studies and that is what we spend the bulk of the episode talking about today! So if you're in the mood for a bit of politics give the episode a go, I am sure that you will learn something.

I do want to preface this episode by saying that obviously we are not experts, nor the authoritative voice on these matters, however, we do have some knowledge of these topics and are really open to debate what we chat about - so get in touch if you feel like it :)

Hello Dearests!!!

This week I am joined by the beautiful Sophie Habboo (@habboosophie)! You probably know Sophie best from Made in Chelsea which you can catch up with on 4od currently! Sophie is also a business owner, as well as a co-host on two separate podcasts: 'Nearly Weds' and 'Wednesdays We Drink Wine'.

In today's ep, however, we go into the idea of para-social relationships, what makes a successful relationship more generally, extending oneself as a brand, as well as a little bit of wedding talk! So please stick around as I'm sure it will be your cup of tea!

Please share, rate it 5 stars and come back each week for more!

Lots of love,

Bec xx
