In our final episode for the season and 2025, we took a moment to reflect on the year. Mofi has been binging Grey’s Anatomy (better late than never I guess🫢) and Esther seems to have finally shaken the flu that’s been dealing with her for months.

We wrapped things up by giving ourselves some flowers for staying consistent with the podcast despite all of life’s challenges and being in different time zones. Go us!😀

We have genuinely loved being on this journey and we deeply appreciate all the support we have received from you. We hope you have a great rest of the year, and a fabulous new year! 💕

Aisha, Mofi & Esther

On this episode, we catch up on life after a rough October. WE talk about Esther and Aisha's quiet birthdays, the pressure of gift giving, and our feelings about the ember months.

We also get into the viral Vogue article, “Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?” and unpack everything connected to it. Privacy politics, the pressure to perform relationships online, influencer culture, parasocial audiences, influencer burnout, the return to conservative dating ideals, and why shame shows up in women’s relationships.

We end the episode with returning to accountability goals - do we even remember how to do that?

As always, we hope you enjoy this episode and we would love to hear your own thoughts on the topic.

We're back with another catch-up episode! Esther has been under the weather and lost her voice thanks to the daycare flu her toddler lovingly passed along (sharing is caring, right?). Mofi is in job-hunting mode with new urgency, and we're hopeful for some good news soon. Aisha is working on balancing her career with her social life, while also on a quest to find friends who share her values… which might be hard because she’s one of one (and the only one!)

As always, we hope you enjoy this episode and we would love to hear your thoughts on the topics discussed.
