Deeper Discussions with Deegz & LP

Calming down after part one, Deegz & LP take trips down memory lane and get into their fighting history growing up. We hear about Deegz first fight in school, an altercation that led to her being kicked out of the club, and that one time she ended up in hospital following another altercation in Northampton. Lloyd tells us about the time post-COVID when he had to lay hands on a police officer, and the twists and turns that followed after getting jumped by a local gang at 14. We do NOT condone violence and it's clear both Deegz & Lloyd are clearly lovers and not fighters. Getting into physical altercations can have serious repercussions. Your life is precious so please, where possible, de-escalate and walk away. #deeperdiscussions #lifestories #fights #altercations #connection #transparency #authenticity #growingup #memorylane

In Episode 13 of Deeper Discussions, Glen joins us for round 2 with Deegz as we do interrogation mode (with love) on LP and unpack this ethical non-monogamy lifestyle of his. LP shares why he is opting for a vasectomy and what that process entails, alongside a discussion on different forms of contraception for men (with a quick reminder that the pull-out method is definitely not a form of contraception!). Glen asks LP about the concept of legacy, exploring what it means to him and how he hopes to leave his mark on the world. Deegz opens up the floor to Glen, allowing him to share why relationships have been so challenging for him lately, how what he is looking for in a partner has shifted over time, and how his relationship with his parents influenced his thought processes and how despite all of this a monogamous relationship is still very much his end goal. We touch on the minefield that is online dating, talking to multiple people, going on dates etc and our preferences regarding those conversations. (BUN SMALL TALK) The conversation gets even more revealing as we uncover that LP was once an OnlyFans content creator. We explore the origins of his page, why he decided to start it, and Deegz shares her own stance on OF, nudes and what that can do for relationships and intimacy.Tune in for a candid and thought-provoking conversation on relationships, legacy, contraception, the world of OnlyFans, and the challenges of dating in today’s landscape!🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more Deeper Discussions every week! #DeeperDiscussions #EthicalNonMonogamy #Monogamy #VasectomyPlans #OnlyFans #Legacy #DatingIn2025 #RelationshipGoals #Contraception #Podcast

Welcome to Episode 12 of Deeper Discussions!

We touch on the "we listen, we don't judge" challenge which leads us into a conversation about couples therapy and LP's professional experience and perspective in this area. Things take an interesting turn when Deegz calls out LP for something negative he said about himself in relation to finding a wife, sparking a deeper discussion on his personal beliefs and relationships. This opens up the conversation about Lloyd's dating style—ethical non-monogamy—something Nicole had never heard of before! As Deegz probes and questions LP we unpack what ethical non-monogamy is, what it means to him, his beliefs in why this dating style is best for him and common misconceptions surrounding his lifestyle choice.

In this episode, we explore the power of collaboration as we look ahead to 2025. We delve into why joining forces makes perfect sense for personal and community growth, and how supporting one another can lead to greater impact. We discuss how too often people want support for their own work while being less quick to offer it to others, and how changing this mindset can help us build and grow together. We also touch on the value of receiving support from family and friends in the midst of busy lives. To help maintain meaningful connections, we speak on the concept of introducing "Waffle Wednesday" — a fun way to keep communication open, reduce isolation, and nurture relationships. Lloyd takes Deegz on a sporadic tangent of random facts to see how she reacts and comprehends while taking her ADHD meds—and calls her out on those ever-changing facial expressions! The episode takes a nostalgic turn to wrap up as we compare today’s slang with the phrases that defined our generation, discussing the different perceptions and reactions we have gotten from the terms we use. #DeeperDiscussions #Collaboration2025 #BuildingTogether #PositiveVibes #CommunityImpact #SupportOneAnother #FriendshipGoals #WaffleWednesday #SlangNostalgia

Welcome to Deeper Discussions Season 1, Episode 10! In our first episode of 2025, we’re throwing it back to the very start of the podcast where we sat down to chat about our experiences growing up in Milton Keynes. 🏙️ We dive deep into some nostalgic moments, like underage clubbing at Buddha Blue, fashion throwbacks, and of course, searching through facebook for those Revs photos from the wild nights out. Lloyd gives us the inside scoop on having to remove photos for people but how there was always a backup 📸 We talk about what our clubbing lives were like back in the day, Deegz as a boozy babe, LP as a sober soldier and how we still had crossover and similarities simply by living here. But it’s not all fun and games—we also get real about the pressures we faced around sex at a young age, and what it was like losing our virginity. 💭 Lloyd opens up about a serious topic—men approaching women—and shares an experience where his actions made a female friend feel uncomfortable. He talks about how this moment has stayed with him and shaped how he approaches women today. Plus, he gives us a glimpse into what it was like being on the receiving end of harassment as a man working in a club. It’s a trip down memory lane you won’t want to miss. Hit play, join the fun and let us know what growing up in MK looked like for you! 🎧#DeeperDiscussions #MiltonKeynes #ClubLife #ThrowbackVibes #HonestConversations #RealTalk #GrowingUp #Sexuality #PersonalGrowth

As we wrap up 2024 Deegz & LP are looking FABULOUS as they simply sit down to catch up, recap the year that has been and what they want to see in 2025. No detailed description necessary, it's really that simple. If you have been following the journey so far then thank you for tuning in and for your support.

Your support is invaluable to the show and 2025 will be a year of continuous improvement and growth for our Deeper Discussions community. We will be back with more structure, some hard hitting topics, differences of opinions, lifestyles and beliefs, guest appearances and as always plenty of laughter and love along the way. We hope you have a wonderful New Year and we will catch you in 2025!!

Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals!! We're late with this weeks release but finally WE HERE! The trio is back on set with some festive vibes for a special extended Christmas episode. In this holiday edition of the Deeper Discussions podcast, we touch on the origins of Christmas, films, dinners, the ways we celebrate, and how our Christmases differ. But in true DD fashion it’s not all about the season we are still out here doing what friends do, asking questions, talking the talks and getting into our thoughts on the deeper topics of the world. Is a lodge a good second date? Is it sending the wrong message? What can you do on that kind of date that ISN'T sex. How often do men and women think about sex, what triggers it and how anti-depressants impact libido. It gets heated as we get into our opposing thoughts and opinions on the importance of having an open dialogue with our children and educating them on sex, our natural bodily functions, hormones and behaviours so that they can come to us about the things they are experiencing and NOT seeking answers and taking direction from the world we live in. We discuss our stance and experiences with taking substances. Lloyd shares his experience of experimenting with mushrooms to test the psychological effects from a mental health aspect. Glen discusses his fear of taking hard drugs, a time he accidentally took MDMA and his intrigue with DMT. Deegz gives an honest incite into the dark and come down aspect of taking cocaine and the difficulty in trying to break away from those habits as well as her concerns for people taking substances from the streets and the mental toll for users particularly in the aftermath. Join us, laugh with us, debate with your homies and don't forget to engaaaage! Like, comment, share and subscribe as we begin to wind down and wrap up 2024 before stepping into a juicy 2025. #DeeperDiscussions #ChristmasSpecial #ChristmasDinners #ChristmasTraditions #ThoughtfulGifting #OpenDialogue #Sex #Parenting #DrugAwareness #Mushrooms #DMT #Podcast

In episode 7 of Deeper Discussions, we’re joined by Glen, the first official guest of the show, but an OG member of the DD collaboration. We kick things off by exploring our shared connection through Milton Keynes, how we know each other and the stories that have shaped our journey. Our conversation dives into Diddy the Diddler, where we share our thoughts on the situation and the corruption not only in Hollywood but how far spread it truly goes. Deegz offers her controversial thought processes questioning the roots of Diddy’s behaviour and how he SHOULD move going forward. The call for accountability, justice and repentance echoes through the discussion as well as considering the cycle of abuse. Shifting gears, we examine pressing topics like church ethics, the conduct of ministries, tithing and why so many have trust issues with the institution of the church. We discuss global issues surrounding the age of consent, giving our opinion of what it should be and why it's important for it to be standardised across the world. In true Deeper Discussions fashion we head on more tangents talking about life in Milton Keynes, race and racism in the UK and what being British means to us for our generation. This episode is packed with bold insights, critical questions, and real talk on some of today’s most complex social issues. We would like to highlight that we do NOT condone any of the behaviours here we are merely discussing the layers and our thoughts on the situations. Don’t miss this powerful episode it's a banger. #deeperdiscussions #transparency #authenticity #socialissues #diddyscandal #trustinthechurch #culturalidentity

In this weeks episode we are fired up and telling it as it is. LP explains the deep firey passion he has for people loving themselves and Deegz gets into the tea on why she walked out of her job. (Yep you read that right. Another one bites the dust!) LP speaks on his week with The Man Cave, a proud vulnerable moment where he actually cried in front of 50/60 people whilst speaking for International Mens Day and we see the impact of showing our emotions, the strength we have in vulnerability and that MANDEM...it's good and healthy to cry!! When we aren't ashamed to show our more vulnerable sides we show others that it is okay for them too! We see how businesses are often happy to take, take, take and reap all the benefits of your skills and support but don't understand the importance of flexibility and giving that same understanding back. The impact of a negative work environments and how it chips away at you is REAL. Normalise not being afraid to LEAVE if employers aren't coming correct and it is negatively impacting your mental health. An employer will replace you in a heartbeat - your health, your peace and your home life is far more important! Many organisations are using mental health, wellbeing and neurodiversity as buzz words rather than actually looking into the culture and practices of the business and how they support (or don't support) their employees. Bottom line is be authentic, transparent and know your WORTH! Stand up and be vocal about what is RIGHT and be the change you want to see in the world. If employers, friends, family, community groups or organisations actions don't align, if they're giving lip service but no real change or understanding then feel free to take the necessary steps to protect your peace - however that may look for you. #DeeperDiscussions #mentalhealth #transparency #authenticity #vulnerability #mensmentalhealth #proudmoment #workplaceculture #organisationalbehaviour #inclusivegrowth #neurodiversity #knowyourworth

On this week’s episode of Deeper Discussions, Deegz & LP dive headfirst into the true meaning of giving as we mark Gift Giving Tuesday and step into the season of generosity and connection. But what does it really mean to give a gift? Is it about spending money or something deeper? Join us as we unpack the essence of gift giving: the kind of gifts that hold value in our lives, the thought process and intention behind meaningful giving, and why the best gifts aren’t always wrapped. We’ll explore how sentimental value honors the recipient, why time and presence can be the most precious gifts of all, and how support and togetherness create bonds that outlast any material possession. Whether you’re searching for inspiration or a fresh perspective this holiday season, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond the box—literally and figuratively. Let’s redefine what it means to give. Tune in, reflect, and share the gift of thoughtful conversation with us! #DeeperDiscussions #GiftGivingTuesday #MeaningfulGifts #RedefineGiftGiving #PresenceOverPresents #GiftsThatMatter

We’re kicking things off with a quick catch-up on life and what’s been going on lately; dealing with imposter syndrome and how “having your sh*t together” is actually subjective. From there, we get into one of our favourite topics, FORGIVENESS! Unpacking how forgiving others brings peace and healing as well as the complexities, thought processes and the faith element of forgiving what others cannot understand. Closing with the importance of accountability, how to give truly genuine apologies and the way we navigate apologies and forgiveness. Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions about Deegz losing her cousin to suicide and navigating forgiveness surrounding that as well as alluding to an experience of sexual assault. We approach these topics with care, but we encourage you to prioritize your well-being as you listen. #DeeperDiscussions #impostersyndrome #forgiveness #apologies #healing #peace #ephesians4

This week we get to know a lot more about Deegz and safe to say this one is PACKED with topics to trigger your Deeper Discussions. We cover the endless list of things Deegz is doing in this current season, experiences with depression, anxiety, alcohol, drugs and societal norms; her outlook on sharing our experiences, the use of social media and how being transparent with our journeys help others to connect and heal. Opening up on the timeline of her journey with God from childhood to adulthood, we get an understanding of how and when the shift began to take place in her life and how instrumental her faith was in turning her life around. If there was ever an anthem for this transformation and the woman you see now it would be Mercy by Elevation Worship & Maverick City because WOW!

In todays episode we learn a bit more about LP! Reflecting on his journey, being one of fourteen siblings, the memories, impact and relationships in his family network. Sharing his experiences from the days of being a comedian and opening for White Yardie through to his life now as a mental health advocate, self love coach, counsellor AND director for both The Man Cave and The Lodge - he's the gift that keeps on giving. Trigger warning - brief mention of an experience on a mushroom trip!

In our first Deeper Discussions episode Deegz nerves were nerving and LP remains cool as a cucumber as we take you on the journey of how we got here and give you a taste of what we'll be bringing to the table every Tuesday. Beautiful conversations with deep topics and multiple tangents blended with funny stories, contagious laughter, banter and vibes - because balance is essential. As co-hosts we value connection, collaboration and community. We believe that there is strength in vulnerability and that transparency is the key to healing so that is what you will see. We hold a safe space for one another and for our guests to share our stories, beliefs, perspectives and approaches to life. Deeper Discussions is a space of kindness, compassion, empathy and understanding. Just as we respect our differences and maintain a healthy flow of communication we encourage our viewers to do the same. Trigger warning - this episode briefly mentions the sensitive topic of s***ide and Deegz approach to talking casually about the loss of a loved one. If you are affected by this episode then please do reach out to someone for support. Lots of love - Deegz & LP
