73. Keeping Friendships Alive in Your 20s: What No One Prepares You For
We’re talking all about friendships in your 20s — and how no one really prepares you for how much they change. Whether it’s the school friends you haven’t messaged in months, the ones who now live halfway across the world, or the new people you’re trying to connect with while juggling work, marriage, or motherhood — it’s a lot. And no one talks about how emotionally confusing it can be.In this episode, we’re sharing the small things we’re doing to actually keep in touch — like sending memes, making space for voice notes instead of FaceTimes, and learning how to show love in quiet, low-maintenance ways. We also get real about the guilt, the overwhelm, and how sometimes the biggest shift is just being more intentional.If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Are we still even friends?” — this one’s for you.00:00 Introduction0:58 Why friendships in your 20s feel so different2:32 The mental load of keeping up with everyone4:45 What we can learn from how men stay in touch6:55 The guilt of not reaching out — and how we’re handling it8:50 Living life with friends, not just catching them up10:00 Building real connection without being in the same room11:37 Old friends, new seasons — and letting friendships evolve13:28 Social media friendships vs. real-life connection15:00 When your friends become mums, wives, or just really busy17:10 Replacing the “catch up dump” with shared memories18:45 Making space for friendship in a full life20:06 Doing life together vs. updating each other21:39 Being intentional — even when you don’t have the time23:00 Ending the cycle of guilt and showing up in small waysDon't forget to give us a rating and send us your dilemmas at:💌 [email protected]:@farahrajax@devamsha

72. How to know when it's time to leave (changing your mind is OKAY)
In this episode, we unpack the guilt, shame, and emotional friction that come with changing your mind—especially when it comes to your job, relationships, or life direction. From navigating commitment issues to knowing when you’ve outgrown a space, we reflect on our own experiences with leaving corporate jobs, pivoting careers, and building enough self-belief to take a different path.We explore the pressure to stay put, the generational baggage around quitting, and the deep personal work it takes to trust your own intuition. Whether you’re contemplating a job change, leaving a relationship, or just feeling stuck, this episode will help you reframe what it means to “quit”—and see it instead as a radical act of self-trust.Perfect for high-achieving women who are tired of living on autopilot and ready to choose themselves, even when it feels scary.Keywords: quitting job guilt, changing your mind career, how to know when to leave, corporate to self-employed, outgrowing environments, commitment issues, feminine energy, self-belief, first-born daughters, emotional trauma healing00:00 Introduction01:12 Are we failures for changing our minds?04:48 The guilt of leaving when you’ve invested time08:42 Pressure, people-pleasing, and autonomy12:09 Recognising you’ve outgrown your environment14:27 The fear of becoming your boss17:32 Shrinking yourself to stay in the wrong room19:41 Self-belief and walking away from “safe” spaces23:10 The leap from corporate to self-employed26:30 Why trusting yourself is the foundation of changeDon't forget to give us a rating and send us your dilemmas at:💌 [email protected]:@farahrajax@devamsha

71. Hobbies Might Be Your Greatest Wealth Strategy
There’s so much pressure these days to have a side hustle. Whether it’s content creation, digital businesses or ‘making the most of your time’, it can feel like just working your 9–5 isn’t enough. But is constantly chasing extra income really the answer?In this week’s episode of Double Life, we explore a different path — one that prioritises joy, purpose and personal growth over monetisation. We chat about the power of hobbies and how they actually shape the kind of mindset that creates long-term financial wellbeing. From learning a language to picking up the piano again, we unpack how doing things just for you can give you more peace, confidence and even better money habits over time.If you're a firstborn daughter battling hyper-independence, trying to shift from survival to softness, or craving a life that’s rich in more ways than one — this one’s for you.00:00 Introduction – The pressure to hustle and why we're questioning it01:54 Why our generation feels the need to do more than just a 9–503:37 Are hobbies a substitute for side hustles?05:20 Making time (and money) for joy – even when hobbies cost06:52 Shifting from survival mode to doing things just because they feel good08:57 Budgeting for hobbies like you would investments10:45 The mindset shift hobbies bring: discipline, patience, purpose13:49 The invisible link between hobbies and long-term wealth15:25 Hobbies as a starting point if you’re still figuring things out17:00 For the multi-passionate girlies – balancing fulfilment and income18:42 Final thoughts – why purpose doesn’t always have to be profitableDon't forget to give us a rating and send us your dilemmas at:💌 [email protected]:@farahrajax@devamsha

37. How to CONQUER the fear of being "seen"
The fear of being seen... a new phenomenon or an *on point* way to describe the deepest darkest fears of our generation? This fear infiltrates its way into everyones lives, but mostly people who are probably too self-aware i.e. our empathetic, older sister queens in the audience 🫶 It's a gift and a curse. You have the fear, it can either hold you back from your biggest dreams or create a pathway for you to go after them. The fear of being seen also has some overlap with evil eye, or nazar as it's referred to in South Asian culture. We chatted a little bit about this and how it plays out in our lives today verses our parents, and how its affected the way we move with our achievements and our ability to dream big.

36. Are we still splitting finances 50/50 in relationships?
Is it realistic to be splitting finances 50/50 in relationships these days? And if not, how do we actually bring this up to our partner? We absolutely don't talk about relationship finances enough. With Farah being newly married, and Dev having lived with her partner long-term, we have so many thoughts around this we wanted to share and normalise. Splitting finances down the middle doesn't work for every relationship and doesn't have to work for every relationship: love and trust should be at the core of everything, even our money. And we can't discount unpaid labour, the mental load, and the undocumented costs that go against these that are often done by the women in the household.

This week's episode is all about a listener dilemma: how do you actually spend money without feeling guilty? How can we approach big financial goals in the best way? For some, spending money can be just as difficult as saving money because there is so much money mindset tangled up with our approach to finances (and that's normal).

31. Are you a social chameleon or a people pleaser? Does changing make you a bad person?
Farah found a video on TikTok about how everyone perceives a different version of us and that blew our minds: is changing okay? Does changing mean we're people pleasing? Or does it mean we're social chameleons? Join us this week to chat through why it's okay to actually change the way you behave, or even the way you think, and how that means you're either growing or you're a people pleasing introvert 👀 We chat through the influence of human design, and our social environment, on our personality traits and outward behaviours.

24. Real life boundaries and how to *actually* set them
This week we're talking about how to set *actual* boundaries and mistakes we've made in the past by not knowing what a boundary is. If you have people pleasing tendencies, struggle to say no to people, and don't know what a boundary even is... this is the episode for you 🫶 We talk through our experiences of setting them successfully (and not so successfully!) and the environments that we find boundary setting to be a little easier. We're both at the stage in life where boundaries are definitely easier and more necessary to set, but we've had quite the journey to get here.
