Hey guys! How are you?

This week we took on the challenge of speaking about our Christian journey in an episode for you guys. This conversation means a lot to us as it’s directly from our hearts and it’s something we hold very dear to us. If you’re somebody that’s feeling unworthy because of all the amazing, picture-perfect Christians you see, then we encourage you to listen. We were very honest and transparent about our own struggles as Christians and the issues we see arising amongst fellow Christians. If you’re somebody that’s just now finding God and you feel like you don’t know where to start or how to begin, we encourage you to listen too. We shared some of our own tips and tricks about getting to know God on a personal level and we hope that you guys can pick some things up from us along the way.

With that being said, we hope you enjoy this episode and feel free to DM us on Instagram @twnspodcast any time! 🙏💓

Hey guys! We're back this week with a funny episode. We throw it right back to our pre-pubescent days when our hair was fried and we had sharpie brows. We can safely say they were not our proudest moments but thank God for growth lmao. Did you guys ever have an ugly phase? We think it's a universal experience. We hope you enjoy xx

Hey guys! This weeks episode is another chit-chat type vibe. Exam season is coming to an end and we have lots to say. This episode speaks on the unlearning process, prideful parents, men who have to "ask their wives" and some more random gems. We hope you guys enjoy! Xx

Hey Guys! This week's episode is a little bit more relaxed. We have a chat about a couple of different things but we focus on pride. Have you ever needed to apologise to someone but just can't seem to do it? Yup, that's pride. What about telling someone how you really feel about them because you "don't want them to be gassed"? Yeahh that's probably pride too. Don't worry though! We have had our own fair share of prideful moments too and that's why we want to talk to you guys about how negative and damaging having too much pride can be. We hope you enjoy! Xx

Hey guys! If any of you have been watching Blue Therapy lately, you might have seen the question, "what do you bring to the table?" circulating online.

Are men too comfortable being broke? Are woman too comfortable asking for gifts they can't afford? Keep listening to hear our thoughts! 

Enjoy babes xx

Perfectionism, by definition, is "refusal to accept any standard short of perfection". When you put it like that, it sounds crazy. Is perfection even attainable?

Of course, we also drop some gems and give you some advice on overcoming perfectionism. We hope you enjoy!

We also touch on the concept of “right place, right time”. Can timing really dictate our failures or successes? Let’s find out! We hope you enjoy!
