    S1 Ep. 13 - New Year, Same Us | Reflection, Growth, and Stepping into What's Next

    This episode was recorded months ago, during a time when Quai was deeply present, excited, and in love with this podcast. Releasing it now is something we are doing in honour of her and in alignment with her wishes. This is the first episode we are sharing since Quai’s passing, and it marks the beginning of finishing the season we filmed together. There are two more episodes that will be released in the coming weeks, completing what we started with so much care and intention. In this New Year focused conversation, Ty and Quai reflect on endings, growth, and what it means to move forward without closing your heart. They talk about change, self-reflection, and the quiet shifts that happen when you begin to choose yourself more fully. It’s a conversation about reclaiming moments, setting intentions with honesty, and seeing one another clearly during a time of transition. The episode closes with a deeply personal exchange, as Ty and Quai read heartfelt letters they wrote to one another and reflect on what they believe is possible moving forward. This conversation captures Quai exactly as she was - thoughtful, honest, warm, and full of vision. Thank you for holding this space with care.

    S1 Ep. 12 - Periods, PMS & The Friendship Care Plan | How We Learned to Navigate & Support Each Other Through The Chaos

    Periods are natural, but navigating them inside a friendship is a whole different journey. In this week’s episode of Friends with Benefits, Quai is officially on her dot and the cravings, the emotions, and the chaos have arrived. From wanting ice cream, a Jamaican patty, cake, and doughnuts all at once, to the moment Ty quietly realized he now tracks her cycle as part of their friendship care plan, nothing is off limits. They talk about how PMS used to create tension, why Quai didn’t always say when she was on her period, and how learning the signs helped Ty show up with more compassion, more snacks, and less confusion. They unpack what communication looks like during hormonal chaos and how honesty has made their friendship stronger. Then comes the iconic Ice Cream Meltdown: the story that shifted everything. The cravings, the misunderstandings, the “I felt abandoned” moment, and the laughter that made it easier to talk about the hard parts. They get real about de-stigmatizing period conversations in all relationships and why relief, love, and humour matter more than perfection. Whether you’re someone who goes through PMS or someone who supports someone who does, this episode has tenderness, chaos, clarity, and a lot of chocolate.

    S1 Ep. 11 - Family Dynamics | Estranged & Chosen | Would You Choose Them...If They Weren't Family?

    Family relationships shape us long before we understand what love, boundaries, or safety actually mean. But as we grow, many of us start to realize that sharing DNA does not automatically equal closeness or kindness. In this week’s episode of Friends with Benefits, Ty and Quai open up about the complicated reality of family dynamics: the warmth, the distance, the hurt, and the healing. They unpack the moment you finally question a relationship you have always been told you cannot walk away from, and what it means to choose peace over obligation. Through honest reflection and a few emotional truths they have not shared before, they explore the difference between loving someone and liking the way they show up. From navigating estrangement to redefining loyalty, the conversation highlights how freeing it can be to set boundaries with the people who know you best and sometimes wound you the most. They also dive into the power of chosen family: the teachers, mentors, friends, and community members who fill the gaps with compassion, consistency, and care. Because support does not have to come from blood. It comes from the people who create safety with you. This episode is for anyone navigating complicated parents, estranged relationships, or the pressure to tolerate treatment you would never accept from anyone else.

    S1 Ep. 10 - The Secret Q&A | Questions We've Never Asked Each Other

    Most friendships have stories, inside jokes, and countless conversations… but how often do you ask each other the questions you’ve never dared to? In this week’s episode of Friends with Benefits, Ty and Quai dive into a secret, no prep Q&A, asking each other questions they’ve never seen before. Some answers come with laughter, some with surprises, and some… they definitely can’t take back. From unexpected confessions to lighthearted chaos (and a few rapid fire moments that got way too real), this episode is a reminder of why curiosity matters in every relationship. When you strip away the scripts and the safety nets, you learn things about the people you love, and yourself, that you wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. They explore everything from weird habits and friendship lessons to uncomfortable truths, emotional alignment, and what it really means to grow alongside someone you love. Because behind every playful question is a chance to see each other more clearly. This one is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, proof that the best conversations happen when you stop preparing and start asking.

    S1 Ep. 9 - Let's Talk About Sex Baby: The Before, During & After of Great Sex

    Let’s talk about sex…again. This week, we're jumping back into the sex conversation, exploring the real ingredients that make intimacy feel safe, connected, and actually good for both people. From dirty talk to consent to the underrated check-ins before, during, and after, we’re unpacking why communication is one of the hottest (and most overlooked) parts of sex. We get into lights on vs lights off, direction without ego, responding to cues, reciprocity, the pressure to “perform,” and how using your voice, whether soft, dirty, extreme, or playful, can take the entire experience somewhere deeper. Whether you’re learning, unlearning, or just curious, we’ve got you. Because sex should feel good for real.

    S1 Ep. 8 - It's Giving Gender Roles | Who Are You When You're Not Performing?

    We learn gender long before we understand it. The way we’re supposed to walk, talk, dress, express emotion, flirt, lead, soften, hold back. So much of it comes from the world around us - our homes, our culture, media, school hallways, locker rooms. And for a lot of us, the roles we were handed never really fit. In this week’s episode of Friends with Benefits, Ty and Quai get into how gender shaped them growing up and how they’ve been unlearning it ever since. They share what it looked like to move from performing masculinity or femininity to actually asking: Who am I when I’m not trying to prove anything? This conversation is thoughtful, a little tender, a little funny, and full of honesty. A reminder that identity isn’t about choosing one side. It’s about making room for your full self.

    S1 Ep. 7 - Swipe Fatigue | The Joys & Chaos of Online Dating

    Dating apps were supposed to make connection easier, but sometimes, it just feels like emotional cardio. In this week’s episode of Friends with Benefits, Ty and Quai unpack the ups, downs, and dizzying in-betweens of online dating. From the thrill of matching with someone new to the burnout that comes after too many ghostings, they get real about what happens when swiping starts to feel like work. They open up about their own experiences. The hope, the exhaustion, the endless comparisons and why so many of us are craving something real again. Because behind every clever bio and perfectly curated photo, there’s a person trying to be seen. This episode is equal parts laughter and honesty, offering a reminder that dating apps aren’t good or bad - they’re just tools. The question is: how are you using them, and when do you know it’s time to log off?

    S1 Ep. 6 - Choosing the Unconventional Path | The Realities of Being an Artist & Entrepreneur

    This one's for everyone. For the artists and the entrepreneurs, to remind you that you're not alone, and that we get you. And for those who aren't, but love, support, or are simply curious about someone who chose this path. Take a listen. Step into their shoes. You might see the world, and them, a little differently. Some people crave stability. Others crave meaning. We just happen to be two of the latter. In this week’s episode of Friends with Benefits, Quai and Ty open up about what it's really like to choose the unconventional path. The one that doesn't come with a blueprint or a guaranteed paycheck. From late-night rehearsals to secret business launches, they share the highs, the doubts, and the deep fulfillment that comes with building a life around passion instead of predictability. They talk about the pressure to "prove yourself" when people don’t understand your choices, the exhaustion of balancing creativity with real life, and the peace that comes from knowing you’re doing what you’re meant to do, even when it’s hard. Because being an artist or entrepreneur isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about choosing yourself, again and again.
