    Allure of the Roaring Twenties (Panama edition)

    Twenty-something girls: friend… or foe? In this conversation, we discuss girls in their 20s versus 30s and dating guys who are good on paper. Join us as we explore the pitfalls of focusing solely on resumes and financial success in relationships and dive into the importance of genuine connections and friendships over superficial checkboxes, as such approaches may lead to short-lived partnerships.

    Bad at Boundaries

    This week, we address a simple but important question: How do you know if you are good in bed? In this episode, we dive deeper into relationships, boundaries, and self-worth. We explore Carrie’s search for validation (according to Zuzana), how crucial it is to stick to your boundaries, and the impact of compulsive habits on the way we experience love. We wrap it up by discussing what actually means to be “good in bed”, why it’s subjective, why it’s not a performance, and how communication is ultimately everything in intimacy.

    If the ending is same… it’s you

    Are we dating the same person over and over again? In this episode, we get real about our dating patterns and the messy in-between. We talk about the whole “roster” culture, friends-with-benefits situations, and how our childhood and past relationships shape the way we show up now. Following the next Sex and the City episode on our list, “The F**k Buddy,” we unpack when “casual” dating and hookups are okay, when they’re not, and why the real problem usually isn’t “casual”... it’s us.

    Love is Pain

    As Carrie once said, the most exciting thing about love can be its exquisite pain. But how much pain is too much? In this episode, we dive into the messy side of modern romance, emotional masochism, fetishes, and the lengths we go for love. Carrie spirals back into her obsession with Big (again), Charlotte channels her passion into shoes, and Miranda endures some painfully public PDA. From obsessions and attachment styles to post-pandemic intimacy, we explore the thin line between a playful fetish and a flashing red flag. The big question: when does desire turn into self-sabotage? And when is enough finally enough?

    Let’s face it, it's not a classless society

    We’re digging into the messy reality of love, money, and power, because yeah...relationships aren’t just about feelings, they’re about who holds the cards. Why is it so damn hard for us women (and men!) to own our success without guilt? How does money really change people? And how does a “caste system” play a role in dating? We’re also breaking down the awkward “I love you” power plays and whether it is the ultimate relationship test.
