Mate. is back with a brand new series!This week we are discussing all of the books we have been reading over the Christmas break, the TV shows and series that have kept us company over the cold winter nights and some of the incredible articles we have read featured on Man Repeller. First up, we reflect on how being ‘needy’ got a bad rep. We take a look at how language is affecting us, can we all just stop saying sorry and try a little more thank you instead?Is leaning way in to who you really are the way forward? Let’s all just own our bad qualities and not feel shamed. We also take a look at the overwhelming nature of advice culture.As always, just so other people can find us too - please leave a review & rating – or even subscribe to us if you like us a lot!——————————————— 1.

The Christmas countdown begins and here to bring the festive cheer is Episode 7 - our last episode of the series and 2018! This week we discuss all things Christmas and our favourite festive traditions. We discuss the theory being pushed in the media that millennials are not having that much sex and when they are having it - is it really that enjoyable? We dissect our relationships with our breasts and how we found pure joy in solitude. We also cover whether always wanting to be the cool girl can suppress your real feelings. We have absolutely loved creating this podcast for you all and bringing you our favourite articles and discussions. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This week in episode 6 we discuss how everybody is waxing lyrical about CBD oil and the benefits. We take a look at the issues of sustainability within the beauty industry and how we can be more mindful when shopping. Something we can both relate to is the pressure to have an Instagram perfect weekend and how it can often wind up ruining your actual weekend, leaving you feeling deflated. We also discuss the evolving and changing dynamics within a family. We hope you enjoy the episode and we can’t wait to see you all next week at our 'A Date With Mate' event!

We chat about why we both love our commute to work and our theory on why we are all going wild for Timothée Chalamet.
