Group trips, elaborate gifts, and surprise parties—summer birthdays are truly not for the faint of heart! We reflect on how our ability to party has changed with age and why. Charity spills the tea on her crushes and seeks advice on flirting, while we share hilarious stories about surviving rejection and offer practical tips on being bold, leveraging common interests and maintaining playful banter. And of course, it’s not a good episode without unpacking the week’s online controversies. We dive into the xenophobic attacks against Miss South Africa 2024 contestant Chidimma Adetshina for her half Nigerian nationality and explore the unsettling life and marriage of Utah-based trad wife influencer and Mrs. American 2023 winner, Hannah Neeleman, aka Ballerina Farms. We discuss these controversies and the judgment these women face for living their lives. Tune in for a fun, flirty and insightful episode! Its #AMouthful
