The Better Halves Project Ep01: Is Allyship A Dirty Word?

In this first episode of The Better Halves Project Drew and I are diving into a listener question: how to even start these conversations at home with a partner who rolls their eyes at the mere mention of allyship.  We share our personal journey and practical advice, emphasising open dialogue, setting boundaries for conversations, and the importance of mutual respect. This candid conversation aims to inspire meaningful discussions in your home about gender equality and respect.
