    S2E6: Would you freeze your eggs or have a baby alone?

    The ladies discuss freezing their eggs and whether they would consider having a child alone. Women are constantly reminded that their biological clock is ticking, putting them under pressure to find a partner and have a baby as young as possible, but are there other options? Is the complex and expensive process of freezing eggs or embryos a luxury for the rich, or something that all women should proactively consider? What is the best age to freeze your eggs and how do you talk to a partner about the decision? Is egg freezing an insurance policy against fertility challenges in later life or does it play on women’s insecurities and offer them false hope? And is the decision to parent solo selfish or do some single parent families do better than traditional nuclear families? In this episode, Monah, Nushy Rose, and Sophie Hannah explore the stigmas attached to women’s fertility, the responsibilities involved in becoming a parent, and the choice to delay having children until later in life. ---------------------------------------  FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION  #EthnicallySpeaking Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unitedmelaninco YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/UnitedMelaninGroup TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8H5Jx9b/ Twitter: https://instagram.com/unitedmelaninco Facebook: https://facebook.com/unitedmelaninco LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unitedmelaninco/ Get in touch with us: ethnicallyspeaking@unitedmelaningroup.com ----------------------------------------  LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE  https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2020/11/10167327/egg-freezing-uk-cost (Article – Real Talk, Should You Actually Freeze Your Eggs? – Vicky Spratt for Refinery 29) https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/egg-freezing-guide (Article – Everything you need to know about egg freezing to make an empowered decision – Lottie Winter for Glamour) https://www.cosmopolitan.com/health-fitness/a36718692/egg-freezing-tips-cost-faqs/ (Article – The No-Bullsh*t, Not-Scary, Actually Helpful Guide to Egg Freezing – Elizabeth Kiefer for Cosmopolitan) https://theconversation.com/six-things-you-should-know-if-you-are-considering-freezing-your-eggs-94039 (Article – Six things you should know if you are considering freezing your eggs Kylie Baldwin for The Conversation) https://www.thecut.com/2016/06/best-age-to-freeze-your-eggs.html (Article – Surprisingly, this is the best age to freeze your eggs – Susan Rinkunas for The Cut) https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/08/14/133377/mothers-journey-egg-freezing-parenthood/ (Article – Don’t count on having kids if you freeze your eggs – Bonnie Rochman for MIT Technology Review) https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/630e250e-3b65-4e02-a3ec-d562cd8b7868 (Article – Should I freeze my eggs for my 30th birthday? – Catriona White for BBC) https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/jun/23/going-it-alone-why-chose-single-motherhood (Article – Going it alone: why I chose single motherhood – Emma Brockes for The Guardian) https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/support-and-services/advice-for-single-parents/ (Article – Advice for single parents – NHS) https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/real-life/sperm-donor-baby-solo-parent/ (Article – Things you only know if you’ve chosen to have a baby alone – Genevieve Roberts for Grazia) https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/23/opinion/sunday/single-at-38-have-that-baby.html (Article – Single at 38?

    S2E5: Is social media making you unhappy?

    The ladies discuss whether women are less happy than they used to be because of unrealistic expectations about life created by social media. Women already feel pressured to “have it all”, but does the content on social media make us feel like we’re not doing enough or falling behind those who appear to be living their best life? How do we define happiness and what do we really need to be happy? Is it possible to be happy all the time and would quitting or taking a break from social media help achieve this? Are the relationships we have on social media authentic or does liking, following, and comparing ourselves to the curated and filtered view of other people’s lives fuel our own unhappiness? In this episode, Monah, Nushy Rose, and Sophie Hannah explore our complicated relationship with social media and look at how we can all take charge of our own future happiness. ---------------------------------------  FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION  #EthnicallySpeaking Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unitedmelaninco YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/UnitedMelaninGroup TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8H5Jx9b/ Twitter: https://instagram.com/unitedmelaninco Facebook: https://facebook.com/unitedmelaninco LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unitedmelaninco/ Get in touch with us: ethnicallyspeaking@unitedmelaningroup.com ----------------------------------------  LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE  https://www.inquirer.com/philly/health/we-arent-as-happy-as-we-used-to-be-heres-what-could-help-20180122.html (Article – We aren’t as happy as we used to be.

    S2E4: Does the way you lose your virginity affect your future sex life?

    The ladies debate whether how you lose your virginity affects your attitude towards sex and your future sexual encounters. Society makes us believe the first time we have sex is a monumental moment adding to the pressure, nerves, and fear that already surround the experience, but is the concept of virginity outdated? What changes physically, emotionally, and mentally after you have sex for the first time? Do religions and cultures unfairly link women’s identities or value to their sexual activity? Does it matter how old you are when you become sexually active and do your views on intimacy, casual sex, and celibacy change with age? In this episode, Monah, Nushy Rose, and Sophie Hannah delve deep into what shapes individual perspectives on sex, the reason men are congratulated for losing their virginity while women are shamed, and why the female orgasm and women’s pleasure is rarely prioritised in the bedroom. ---------------------------------------  FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION  #EthnicallySpeaking Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unitedmelaninco YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/UnitedMelaninGroup TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8H5Jx9b/ Twitter: https://instagram.com/unitedmelaninco Facebook: https://facebook.com/unitedmelaninco LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unitedmelaninco/ Get in touch with us: ethnicallyspeaking@unitedmelaningroup.com ----------------------------------------  LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/01/study-how-we-lose-our-virginity-shapes-our-entire-sexual-life/272596/ (Article – Study: How we lose our virginity shapes our entire sexual life – Lindsay Abrams for The Atlantic) https://www.her.ie/life/these-are-the-side-effects-of-losing-your-virginity-later-in-life-309078 (Article – The age at which you lose your virginity can have a huge impact on your sexual enjoyment – Cassie Delaney for Her) https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130128104732.htm (Article – 'First time' may predict lifelong sexual satisfaction – University of Tennessee at Knoxville via Science Daily) https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/apr/18/genes-influence-the-age-at-which-you-lose-your-virginity-first-sex-dna (Article – Genes influence the age at which you lose your virginity, study shows – Ian Sample for The Guardian) https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/10/sexual-partners-and-marital-happiness/573493/ (Article – Fewer sex partners means a happier marriage – Olga Khazan for The Atlantic) https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2019/01/221739/losing-your-virginity-stories (Article – Women Are Losing Their Virginity Before They're Ready.

    S2E3: Why do some women struggle to make friends with other women?

    Monah, Nushy Rose, and Sophie Hannah discuss female friendships and why some women find it hard to make friends with other women or, in some cases, pride themselves on being one of the boys. For centuries society has pitted women against one another, causing them to see each other as competition in a narrative that some say was created by men. Are some women projecting their own insecurities onto other females? Are women able to have deeper friendships than men because they’re more vulnerable with each other? Would you trust your partner around a woman who only has male friends? In this episode, the ladies explore the beauty of female friendships, how they change with age, why they need just as much maintenance as romantic relationships, and how to deal with conflict to repair broken friendships. How important are your gal pals?

    S2E2: Would you "reverse migrate" & move to the country your parents are from?

    Monah, Nushy Rose, and Sophie Hannah discuss whether they would ever "reverse migrate" and move to the country their parents and grandparents call home. Many families moved to the UK in search of a better life for their children but in a growing trend this generation is choosing to return to the motherland for the same reason. Are there better job prospects and more opportunities to build businesses in Africa and Asia than there are in the UK? Would you feel more accepted in the countries where you have heritage and the people look like you or be “othered” for being British? Do incentives like Ghana’s Year of Return put local people at a disadvantage? And what creature comforts would you miss if you moved?

    #86: Afro hairdressing choices are set to open up...but Soul Cap gets shut down?

    The ladies discuss why it’s always one step forward and two steps back when it comes to the acceptance and inclusion of Black hair types, after an update to the National Occupational Standards for hairdressing means that all new hairdressers will be trained to work with Afro and textured hair as standard, in the same week that FINA (International Swimming Federation) bans Soul Cap – a swimming cap designed for Afro and textured hair – from use in international competitions because it does not follow “the natural form of the head”.
