Does this mean anything to you? Where do you fall "naturally"? Are you working your way out of one into the other? Trying to find a good balance between the two? This week's episode looks at how we are socialised towards sexuality and intimacy and how we can change narratives and attitudes that no longer serve us.
We've all been there. Whether it's making the first move, or the next move, we've all experienced rejection at some point in our dating lives. This week we look at how we can handle those situations, process those emotions, and get back in the game.
This week, we hear a different kind of story. We look at the topic of divorce and it's multiple layers. With us to share her experience is Nadalie Guthrie-Forde. We talk hurt, kids, suicide, healing and finding love again.
This week we look at the Hookup Culture present within our society. Are there actual benefits? Or is it doing more harm than good?

Our discussion this week centers around children, wanting them, having them, losing them... Camelia and I discuss our personal experiences and talk more about living a full life regardless.
We change gears this week and shift our focus to a topic that Cam and I had much to say on, but also not enough - religion and its place in relationships, especially when kids enter the picture. With us is Pastor Carl Cunningham to help us in determining how best to approach this hurdle in a relationship.
This episode continues our discussion from last week looking at some specific actions and instances where individuality can exist and not independence in a relationship, as well as some non-negotiables for us in terms of being in a partnership.
This week, we look at independence and individuality and maintaining that in a relationship. Is this a good or bad thing? Where and how do we strike a balance? Is it independence, interdependence, co-dependence, or dependence? Tune in as we help you and each other to figure it out.
Join us for a candid discussion on dating outside the Black Community. We talk family, friends, children, societal pressures and lived experiences. With us is Tarah Hamilton who shares her experience and how she tackles the pitfalls.
Last week we discussed why we were single, and from that conversation this week's topic was born. Today, we discuss having friendships with the opposite sex while in a committed relationship. Are you just asking for trouble? Do you have the right to ask your partner to end them? What's the real issue here? Joining us for this conversation is Ace Mohamed to provide us with a male perspective on the topic.
Hello and welcome back to season two of the podcast.
Last season was a little heavier as we navigated the issue of racism, sexism, double consciousness and so much more./
This season, we opted to switch gears a bit and you'll find our theme for season two is centered on relationships, family, and sexuality.
To kick things off, we open up about why we're still single after 30 and our non-negotiables in a relationship. We've also left some advice for our fellow singles at the end.

Today, we continue our discussion on beauty standards, specifically Black beauty in a whitewashed society. With us is Celina Caesar- Chevannes - former Member of Parliament for Whitby and Parliamentary Secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau among other roles.
The recent experiences have without a doubt been traumatic for the Black community. On today’s episode, we are diving deeper into the conversation on trauma. This week we look at the impact of trauma on Black women
specifically, but not just as a result of race based stress but also just navigating life as Black women. To help us better understand trauma and its impact on our day to day lives,
joining the conversation this week is Melissa Taylor, Social Worker and Psychotherapist!
Today is Juneteenth, which means that with everything happening; with the fight for justice, equality and equity, we can pause to celebrate the freedom from slavery, as our ancestors knew it.
We are going to start our discussion with a look at the past, present and possible future of Juneteenth.
And because the day isn’t only used to recognize the end of slavery, but also to celebrate black culture and black excellence, in the second half of the show we’ll be talking to and celebrating two young black women Imani and Chelsea, who are aiming to curate stories of black experiences in Canada.
On today’s episode, we are really just holding space. Space to talk about our recent experiences be it with race, covid, kids, adjusting to the new normal and our mental health. We thought it necessary to do so because so much of what is happening at present can be taxing on our mental health and we often give ourselves enough time to realise this. With us is Natacha Pennycooke a Registered Psychotherapist and Josette Drummond Educator and C.E.O of MontessoriInnovations Inc.
Exploring how societal pressures forces the narrative of The Strong Black Woman.
Many of us wear the badge of the Strong Black Woman with honour, and there's nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is the silent suffering that takes place when we carry the burden of family, work and community, trauma and loss. In this Episode, we look at the burden of strength and how the church perpetuates this stereotype.
