Awfully Good Waffle

Gindi, Trish & Seabass knuckle down on the age old topic of a romantic kind of love. What's your go to? Do you even know? Is it intellectual attaction or chemistry, lust or love, is there a magic combination?

I'm joined by Esther therapist and founder of Frontline Therapist (on Insta and www.frontlinetherapist.co.uk and Melissa; my amazing Sis- in-Law, a proud mum to my niece and nephew, a Primary School Teacher with an interest (MSc) in Social Justice & Education! These inspiring ladies join me to help demystify some common mental health terms, learn some new ones (ever heard of the bent penny, me neither)! We explore why some of us put off therapy, what's stopping us reaching out? And does representation in therapy matter really matter?

Unpacking the term "immigrant parent" with Trish & S.H.E community member Ejiro. Together we examine what shaped our experiences; for better or for worse. Recognising the complexities that come with trying to exist in multiple cultures, social norms and value systems, we continue to develop our sense of self and identity. Join us as we share our journeys, experiences and viewpoints and have some introspection on "where we're at" and where we wanna be in the future.

From hot steaming carrots to home made Nandos and Burger & Lobster takeouts, what's getting you through? How's the space sharing going and what are your non-negotiables? Keeping sane in lockdown whilst honing our inner basic bitch banana bread skills is our new found talent!

Unashamedly exploring the mother daughter bond. From toxic behaviour to eating humble pie and the clap-backs we never gave. Are gender stereotypes changing with parents? Is "Nice " clothing Vs Nike clothing still a thing? Should rolling pins be outlawed now and will Liz listen to the podcast and use her GPS to track Seabass down? 😅😅

Talking fast, slow, eco and no fashion! Our moral dilemma's, body image issues, beach body dilemmas and btw one size does not fit all! What mindless retail therapy represent for us morally, emotionally, socially and psychologically. We're celebrating Trish growing out of wearing all pink and Georgia's on seeing hairy bodies on the beach.

Does it take courage to accept our hurt, are we easily triggered, what does it represent for us? How do we face into it, do we seek closure and is an apology really a big deal anyway? Why binning Buddhism might just liberate you and we're back to zone 9 on friendships. Gindi,Seabass and Tric on when enough is enough.

Focused on female empowerment, we talk all things behaviours and beliefs. Do we scrutinise ourselves before applying for jobs compared to men? Are we more likely to make impulsive decisions? Do you recognise the parent, adult and child in you? Do you know when somebody is playing the victim, persecutor or rescuer with you and would it make a difference to your dynamics if you were aware? What mode do you spend most of your time in; child, adult or parent mode? Victim or rescuer?

Friendship real-talk, yoga highlights, lowlights and other epic fails. Cookie, Seabass and Candy share perspectives on deep shit and shallow shit; we don't have a genre because every lane is our lane and we've claimed it.

Talking all things self care during Corona, making the best of the situation; dating, friendships and embracing guilty pleasures! Join Tric, Seabass and Jinde for some Corona chronicles.

By #SHE (insta) Awfully Good Waffle is a place for us to bring our friendship, female energy and expression to life. We talk about what's on our minds; its all rants and bants. Tune in to hear intro soundbites from Tric, Seabass and Jindi ! Sip some tea with us, and have some chill. 🦸🏾‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️💃🧘🏽‍♀️
