This episode looks at friendship circles and their purposes. We delve into the understanding or lack thereof of the existence of friendship circles and the significance each circle brings to an individual’s life. We also will touch on the capacity of people actually being able to recognise their friends and where exactly they fit in their lives. And the results that come with right and wrong placements in each friendship circle.

This episode explores all the major milestones that we experienced as a culture in this explosive year!

Over the last decade, the younger generation is starting to vocalize different parts of our Blackness that are either backward or do not really reflect who we are in a positive light. We discuss if this movement is headed in the right direction or not.

So many people have this misconception of the happily ever after. People are searching for the perfect relationship and partnership, with jaded eyes, leading to the demise of relationships early on as they do not live up to our expectations.

So apparently women are given deadlines in life that equates them to their value.

This notion is not only derogatory, but also very backward and was brought about by a Narcissistic comment we saw on Instagram where a man said that a woman after the age of 29 is as bad as sour milk.

We take a deep dive into analyzing why a man would be so disrespectful to all women after that age, especially when most African men are raised by the maternal societies

In this episode we take a deep dive into human sexuality and the exploration of our bodies as well as our partner’s bodies.

In this discovery of our bodies and what pleases us, we may sometimes come across situations that make us uncomfortable & this is when it is necessary to have honest conversations with one another about our limits by introducing safe words.

This episode looks at the effects of how some things we experience as children, affect us greatly once we are adults.

Sometimes, we even bury the trauma deep inside our hearts as it was too painful and confusing as a child to deal with, and this adversely affects us as adults.

We then see the remnants of our trauma trickle into our day to day lives as adults, and we end up making our current relationships suffer the burden of our pain.

This episode looks at gender roles in relationships and if they Make or Break relationships.

We look at circumstances where traditional roles can make it harder or easier for different relationships.

We also look at how social norms may stunt individuals from being able to share their unique characteristics, stay true to their own socio-sexual preferences and self-determine their own behaviour in relationships.
