Episode 1: femininity

hi there!

thank you so much for listening to episode one of the Ready or Not podcast! we really appreciate your listening and your support and hope that our silly little talks meant something (or at the v least were entertaining) to you. our first episode means the world to us and our own femininity and defining/connecting to it is equally as important. whether you already totally know your femininity or have no clue where to begin, there is no harm in talking or learning more about all that it encompasses and connecting more deeply to it. femininity is sm deeper than just girls' stuff, and that's why we should talk abt it in its fullness.

as a disclaimer: we aren't bashing any specific group of people or opinions, the aim of this podcast is to share new perspectives and ideas and we're just doing that for ours!

please leave us any thoughts or comments on our Instagram (@ReadyorNot_podcast_) - we'd love to hear your point of view!

as mentioned in the episode - below is our resource bank, complete with some cool sources to check out for your own interest.

thank you all for being here and have a lovely day!
