Description
Welcome to Life With Zee — the podcast that feels like eavesdropping on your favourite group chat.
Season 3 is ditching the deep and diving into the delulu. We’re talking hot takes, wild stories, pop culture therapy, and the kind of conversations you only have with your inner circle. Each week, Zee links up with bold, brilliant, sometimes unhinged guests to unpack life’s big questions — like “Is this a red flag or a personality trait?” and “Why are we like this?”
It's unfiltered, slightly chaotic, and always entertaining.
New episodes every week. Come for the banter, stay for the oversharing.
Follow @lifewithzeepodcast — and bring snacks.

Absolutely not. Entertaining? Oh, 100%. From insecure queens and gaslighty boyfriends to the most cringe confessionals you’ve ever heard — wthey ge...
