Ep. 121 A Moment of Silence for Choosing Him Over Career

Описание: This week’s episode begins with a moment of celebration because Sakshi had a birthday! Wooo! The girls went to a cricket match with the noble intention of rage-baiting men but things took an unexpected turn and Naina ended up becoming the national crush (which to be fair enraged a lot of men, so mission accomplished).

From there we spiralled into a very real conversation about men stealing women’s work, taking credit for their ideas, and the mysterious ability some guys have to dim a girl’s shine the moment she starts doing a little toooo well for their liking.

We asked the important question: how do you go to bed at night after stealing someone else’s work?? Our heartfelt condolences to the girl who had her cancer research stolen and an even bigger sorry to the girl who had her instagram bio stolen.

This led us to the ultimate dilemma: your man vs your career.
We debated ambition, insecurity, supportive partners, unsupportive partners, and why women are so often expected to shrink themselves to make other people comfortable.

Somewhere in the middle of all this, we reminded you (and us) that you just gotta do what you want, no matter what people say - because once you make it, they WILL come around.

P.S: Sakshi has a new iPad but we still don’t have 100k subscribers. It’s very un-feminist of you to not hit subscribe so go do it now, along with liking commenting hyping following and adding our names to your final will and testament.
