Relationships with Men and Friends

Sarah Alagroobi
About this episode

On this week's episode, we share insights into the complexities of relationships and friendships, exploring the dynamics between men and women in dating, emotional intimacy, and the nuances of friendships. Together, we unpack why men may struggle with vulnerability, how women can navigate their non-negotiables in relationships, and why maintaining healthy female friendships can be so challenging. Through shared anecdotes and thought-provoking discussions, we delve into toxic behaviours, gendered emotional labour, and the journey toward self-actualisation in love and friendship. Plus, we tackle the age-old question: can you really be friends with your ex?

Join us for a candid and collaborative conversation filled with wisdom, relatability, and a dose of tough love.
