S2E6: Would you freeze your eggs or have a baby alone?

December 16, 2021 19:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB

Women are constantly reminded that their biological clock is ticking, putting them under pressure to find a partner and have a baby as young as possible, but are there other options?

December 09, 2021 19:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MB

The ladies discuss whether women are less happy than they used to be because of unrealistic expectations about life created by social media. Women already feel pressured to “have it all”, but does the content on social media make us feel like we’re not doing enough or falling behind those who appear to be living their best life? How do we define happiness and what do we really need to be happy? Is it possible to be happy all the time and would quitting or taking a break from social media hel...

Are some women projecting their own insecurities onto other females? Are women able to have deeper friendships than men because they’re more vulnerabl...

S2E2: Would you "reverse migrate" & move to the country your parents are from?

November 18, 2021 19:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MB

Monah, Nushy Rose, and Sophie Hannah discuss whether they would ever "reverse migrate" and move to the country their parents and grandparents call home.

Are there better job prospects and more opportunities to build businesses in Africa and Asia than there are in the UK? Would you feel more accepted in the countries wh...
