This is what you get when two Canadian women, who come from completely different backgrounds, serendipitously meet in a Brooklyn apartment. Alene Degian and Kristen Mandala became instant friends over their mutual sense of adventure, humour and tearing up the dance floor, which has since blossomed into a five year long friendship. Tune in every week as we have candid conversations about what we *thought* life would be like in our late 20s, and how our unique worldviews help us navigate all things personal, sexual, and professional.

We’re starting season 4 off with a BANG – feminism, baby! We went back to our roots with this one. Feminism is a topic that we haven’t really talked about together off the pod so we thought why not have our first conversation about it with all of you. We have two very different viewpoints when it comes to what feminism means to us. We’re talking body hair, plastic surgery and so many other goodies and how it all fits into feminism. So before you start this episode, we’re curious to know – do you consider yourself a feminist? Taking it back to our roots with this one – different perspectives, one podcast.

Okay, okay folks, we know we’ve been out of commission for a few months. BUT before we get back to regular programming, in honour in National Podcast Day, we wanted to bring you a special episode to tell you where we’ve been and what we’ve been up to. These last few months haven’t exactly been easy on us but we are so ready to come back to you with more episodes, more chats, and more love.

You all never cease to amaze us with your amazing questions! This week we’re answering two questions about how to set boundaries with those you love – we know it’s hard and we’re constantly working on this ourselves! So this week we talk all about how to let family and friends know you’re struggling, how to deal with a seemingly one-sided relationship, and the importance of keeping promises to yourself.

Even though over one quarter of the population menstruates, how much do we really know about our cycles? Like did you know there were four phases to your cycle – and not just "period" and "not period?" Well, in this episode, we're opening up the floor to discuss all things menstruation. We discuss what we were really taught about our periods, what we're still learning about our periods – AND our bodies, and how we need to make period talk way more commonplace (among men and women). Let us remind you, this is not a medical podcast. We're strictly talking our personal experiences and what we've learned along the way!

It’s somebody’s birthday! Who’s birthday?! Our lovely Kristen! Next week, Kristen turns the big 3-0 so we wanted to sit down and discuss how she wants to bring in the new decade. What has she learned in her 20s? What is she excited to leave behind? And what she’s looking forward to most in the decade now known as “the new 20s.” So whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, or beyond, take a listen and celebrate the one we all love so much!

You asked, we answered! We put out a call a couple weeks ago to answer any questions you might have and you saucy minxes did not disappoint. Seems all y’all want to talk about is sex – and we are HERE FOR IT! So we’re answering your burning sex questions: is there too much pressure on sex? What do we think of sexting with your partner? Orgasms, exploring sexuality and more! Not to toot our own horn but this might be one of our favourite episodes yet!

We've all had our hearts broken by our crushes, partners, and situationships. But what about friendship breakups? It's hardly ever talked about but it's a very real thing. And we don't just mean the friendships that end because one party did something wrong, but the ones that gradually grow apart. Sometimes it's hard to accept that a friend who's been in your life forever no longer aligns with the person you're becoming. It may not be an easy decision but you deserve to be surrounded by people who uplift you, inspire you, and encourage you to grow. In this episode, we discuss our own friendship breakups and how we've approached them. Come hang out in our circle for a bit of support!

We live in a world where women are often expected to act a certain way and want specific things. So it always seems radical when a woman starts to pave her own path and really think about what SHE wants – and not simply what society has conditioned her to want. In this episode, we talk about wanting kids, if we'll take our husbands last names – and the reasons for our choices – and all the other ridiculous things women have to face on the daily.
