    You Gotta Work for Me | 2020 recap part 4

    How persistent should we be in our relationships? What’s the thin line between chasing someone and losing all self respect? Often we have better relationships with people in our heads and not in real life and cannot admit it to ourselves. And worst of all, some people love the way you make them feel more than they love you. On this next segment, Thulani and Darrol discuss mutually beneficial and one sided relationships.

    Changes, it just didn’t do it for me | 2020 recap part 2

    We all need a chance to grow as people and to try out new avenues. How often do we give others an opportunity to move on from who we know them to be or are we always pitting them against what our idea of them is? The boys discus albums that just didn’t do it for them in this next segment and also touch on why when certain artists move away from the sound we are used to it may make us feel a way. The episode then ends in the boys discussing their toxic relationship with Man United.

YAY🤪

Well done brothers! Proud of you both. Love the fact that men can be bold and courageous enough to share themselves with the world. Both men and women need this. From my perspective as a woman, sometimes it’s easy to forget that men feel and battle with insecurities and similar issues as we do.

I’d love to hear you guys to delve further into the topic of parental and societal pressure in love/dating relationships .

How has that played out in both of your lives?
What things have your parents said and how have you reacted to this especially in your dating relationships?

Darrol taps into the importance of personal development. I loved that. Please put us on to people that you follow and listen to with regards to personal development as part of your tips 😅

Love the wrap up- it’s very necessary.

I also love how Thulani also openly shares on getting into relationship with anyone at some point. A lot of us do this and we aren’t able to acknowledge this.

Both your characters work together because we get two completely opposite views on particular topics and I think we need that.

We need this vulnerability. The world needs this.

Looking forward to seeing you both evolve and journeying with you as you do so.

Here’s to you for launching a great platform

The dynamic between you two is wonderful and so infectious. You are yourselves and it reads very well. Well done, this is a strong start!

Wrap-up 👌🏽

I love the addition of a wrap-up feature covering key takeaway points. It almost perfectly summarizes the conversation(s) from the perspective of one or both hosts, while challenging the listener for his/her understanding
