by It's Free Period
Welcome to It’s Free Period!, a bi-weekly podcast where we chat about personal growth, career moves, along with regular doses of secondary school nostalgia. We’re Mofi, Esther, and Aisha, three Nigerian women who met in Year 8/JSS2 centuries ago (okay, 2005 lol). This is us taking a break to figure life out together, just like we used to during our free periods back in the day. Come hang with us as we catch up, share stories, and navigate all of life’s twists and turns. Get comfy, press play, and settle in!<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

What does it really mean to settle in love, career, or life? In this episode, Aisha, Mofi, and Esther unpack the tricky layers of settling. Aisha wonders if the matter of settling is something we only decide on after-the-fact when we’ve seen how things turn out. Mofi brings in the role of privilege, pointing out how LGBTQ folks often face more limited options and harsher consequences, yet still take bold risks. Esther shares her hard line on never settling in marriage, but acknowledges that in careers, sometimes survival has to come first. We ask: Are we projecting our own values when we judge someone else’s choices? Is settling always a bad thing or could it just be making the best decision with what you’ve got?<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Breakups can be dramatic and sometimes just plain ridiculous. In this episode, we’re sharing our pettiest and messiest break-up stories, from the final straw that made Mofi swear off men, Esther’s sudden shift from lover girl to her brief experimental phase, and Aisha's never-ending break-up saga (seriously, the timing couldn’t have been worse). Plus, we discuss the songs that get us through heartbreak and play a round of Would You Rather that forces us to make some impossible choices.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we talk about the realities of adulting and how unsustainable it feels for 3 of us. Aisha shares some unexpected news with us and we give her some advice on a dilemma she’s navigating. Esther is dreaming about how to opt out of the grind of life, and Mofi is struggling to balance everything with the 24 hours we have. We chime into the conversation about community and discuss what we think about the “inconvenience” of it all. Should an element of community building be inconvenience? Join us as we discuss adulting, community and making difficult decisions.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
