Get The Gist Podcast

This week it’s just Roz and Princess holding things down while Ri recovers 😭❤️We start with new beginnings in work, life and love 👀 before asking the IMPORTANT question… have you ever played for a relegated team? (and NO we’re not talking football 😭❤️‍🩹). From dating below your standards to entering your “free agent” era, we get real about knowing your worth and learning lessons the hard way.Then we debate whether you can ACTUALLY find love in the club 👀 Is Hinge more solid? Is modern love just different now? Plus why “love languages” might not mean anything when all you really need is someone to HOLD YOUR BAG 😭We also get into pet names, are you calling your partner “baby” or do you need something a little more unhinged? And of course we had to show love to Bumbu because yeah… we appreciate you ❤️From there we dive into body care, exfoliating properly, African sponges, dry brushing, imperfections, and why MEN also need to start taking care of themselves properly too 👏🏾 Self-love isn’t just for women!!As always it’s honest, chaotic, funny and feels exactly like a group chat conversation with your friends 😭Get comfy and GET THE GIST 💅🏽💬 Drop your thoughts below:Can you actually find love in the club? 👀 And what’s the WORST relegated team you’ve ever dated? 😭#GetTheGist #Podcast #DatingTalk #BlackHair #IrishPodcast #GirlTalk #ModernDating #NaturalHair #RelationshipPodcast #⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - 1:09 Intro with just us two 🥺 (we miss you Ri ❤️)1:09 - 3:48 New beginnings with work, life & love 👀3:48 - 7:08 Have you ever played for a relegated team?

Welcome back to Get the Gist  where the chats are real, unfiltered, and a little bit chaotic (in the best way).This week we’re joined by THE couple that COUPLED Dami & Jermaine from Blue Therapy  and trust us… this is just Part 1.And before we even get serious… Good Friday in Ireland?? No bank holiday but at least we can buy alcohol  Some of us had wings and wine and we’re not taking it back We kick things off with our weekly “1 good, 1 bad” check-in and it’s VERY real: Living in the 2-year-old tantrum trenches (1 hour meltdowns before work?? be serious)Praying for pregnancy while parents are saying “WAIT” (and yes… the Flo app decides the mood )Laughing in serious parenting moments you shouldn’t laugh at Realising your kids’ habits are actually YOUR fault (no veg? yeah… that’s on you) Leaving a job you didn’t want to leave but knowing you had to Making intentional memories with your friends Sick weeks, deadlines piling up & just trying to hold it togetherBecause sometimes you’re not thriving… you’re just getting through the week and that’s okAlso… WHY are parents acting like it’s the Olympics when it comes to school events?! Weeks to make an Easter hat?? Please. Then we get into GIST CHECK  let’s try get through this together!We also discuss:  Is your partner your emergency contact and when do they earn that upgrade? Should you stay “single” until you’re married? Are open relationships actually more committed than traditional ones? Are outside opinions (friends & social media) ruining real relationships?Because at the end of the day… who’s actually there putting you to bed at night?  Not your group chat.We’re talking red flags , real commitment, and the truth that sometimes relationships take work and yes, sometimes you might have to take some … but you still need to know your limits.The relationships people judge the most… are they actually the ones lasting the least? WE WANT YOUR DILEMMAS Got a vent?A situationship spiral?A “be honest with me” moment?Your GTG sisters are here and it’s anonymous Drop it here:https://ngl.link/gistjailLet’s get into it #GetTheGist #Podcast #Relationships #Parenting #RealTalk #IrishPodca🚨WE WANT YOUR DILEMMAS 🚨Is there something you want to get off your chest?
