Trials and Tribulations

Why do I keep dating the SAME (wrong) guy?

In this juicy episode, Georgia and Riya get real about the dating patterns that keep too many women in their 20s stuck in situationships, heartbreak, and confusion. From the emotionally unavailable avoidant guy, to the intense-but-possessive partner, to the classic mummy’s boy who needs a therapist, not a girlfriend - we’re breaking down the types we swear we’re done with… until we’re not. Why do we keep picking the same type in a different outfit? What’s the psychology behind these patterns? And more importantly, how do we stop? We’re talking red flags, psychology, gut feelings, and the subtle ways we override our own standards. If you've ever caught yourself saying "he’s different though"… only to end up in the same emotional spiral - this one’s for you. Expect honest stories, no sugarcoating, and some seriously good advice for building healthier dating patterns. You’re not doomed. You’re just learning. Let’s unlearn the chase and start choosing better. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

How Can I Learn To Love Spending Time Alone?

We romanticise solo travel, independent living, and main-character energy—but is spending time alone actually enjoyable, or just something we say we love? This week, we’re diving into the reality of being by yourself, from peaceful self-discovery to full-on existential dread. With Georgia moving to NYC knowing absolutely no one and Riya growing up as an only child, we’ve both had our fair share of solo time. But learning to love your own company is a whole different story. We’re breaking down how to actually enjoy spending time alone, why it’s so important, and the difference between being independent and just feeling lonely. Does solo time actually make you more confident? Or is it just a fast track to overthinking? Let’s get into it. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Should I Live With My Best Friend?

Welcome to Trials and Tribulations! In our very first episode, we’re introducing ourselves - Georgia and Riya, two best friends navigating the whirlwind of our 20s in London. And what better way to kick things off than by asking the big question: should you actually live with your best friend? Is it all late-night gossip sessions and Sunday morning debriefs, or does sharing a flat test even the strongest friendships? We’re breaking down the highs, the unexpected lows, and the little things that make or break living with your bestie. Plus, get to know us—how we became so close, why we started this podcast, and what’s in store for Trials and Tribulations! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
