🎙️ Barely Thriving Podcast | Episode 48

He's a 10... but there's always a catch 😭

This week on Barely Thriving, we kick things off with a Barely Thriving Hotline dilemma from a listener who thinks her friend might be copying her entire life... from her hair and jewellery to her Pilates, Mini, matcha and even her ex. 👀

Then we're playing He's a 10 But..., putting our dating standards to the test and discovering just how quickly a perfectly good man can become a 2. From smoking and ignoring your texts to calling his mum “mummy”, not believing in tarot, having an ex playlist, driving a Fiat 500 and referring to his cats as his “pussies”... apparently the bar is both very high and completely unreasonable. 😂

Plus, Amy tells the story of discovering that her relationship with alcohol might be slightly more complicated than she realised. 🍷😭

Expect dating icks, relationship red flags, chaotic girl talk, friendship drama, embarrassing stories and two best friends who definitely don't agree on what makes someone a 10.

New episodes every week.
