Hello and welcome to series 8! First and foremost I would like to pre warn you that this series is going to be heavy. Dr Amani and I are going to be discussing sexual violence and focusing on how it manifests and impacts women of the global majority. This is not to discount the experience of white women, but more to acknowledge a whole globe of women who are rarely considered in this very important conversation.
Join us for the first episode where we speak on the definition of sexual violence, the historical context and the correlation between sexual violence and mental health issues.

Episode 3 of lessons in love is coming in HOT and HEAVY!! This episode Heba and I speak about her journey with dating and finding her new love. Navigating dates as a mother, becoming confident and unapologetic with your choices in men are just a few things covered in this treat of an episode! ❤️
Please continue to support on instagram, rate, review and let me know what you think!! ✌🏾💛
The second epsiode of the lessons in love series focuses on the process of leaving a marriage when the dynamics of the relationship and union are not straight forward. It was important to me to shine light on Hebas story because I feel that it is a reality that many women from under represented backgrounds will find relatable. When you marry outside of your culture and the marriage breaks down, you have the added factors of internalised disappointment in yourself and potentially from those around you who were never supportive of your union BECAUSE of the difference in culture. Heba speaks candidly and honestly about her experiences in a difficult marriage and the process of ending things like a true queen. This episode contains references to domestic violence which may be triggering to some listeners ❤️

We kick of the series with this episode in which Heba and I discuss our perceptions of marriage, culture and faiths influence on partnership and what happens when we transform crimson red flags into amber and green..

This is the FINAL episode of the first series and I for one have had a blast! It is no secret that like most things in women's lives; periods, pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood are not spoken about NEARLY enough. I hope this entire series goes a way to acknowledging some of these issues, realities, joys and difficulties. I am proud of the conversations we have had and eternally grateful to my sister Juspreet for joining me on this mission to be the representation the younger versions of us would have loved to have seen.
We end the series by reflecting on Juspreet's post partum journey and her access to the services that most women need but do not know how to seek, reconciling your physical health and your mental health and the importance of giving yourself grace.

For 23 years I thought that your 'menstrual cycle' was the days you are bleeding. In actual fact the menstrual cycle has 4 phases; Menstruation, Follicular, Ovulatory and Luteal. Each phase means something different and some even act as natural contraception! We discuss the phases, contraception and as always.. my experiences with all of the above! Resident guest Jaspreet is as amazing as ever and we really hope you enjoy! Share with anyone whom could benefit on understanding the menstrual cycle- ESPECIALLY the men!
