Between Me and You Podcast

What does it really mean to be a man? And who gets to decide?

From being told to “man up” to being taught that vulnerability is weakness, many men grow up navigating expectations that leave little room for fear, sadness, or asking for help. But what happens when the pressure to be strong becomes the very thing that stops men from speaking up?

In Episode 5 of Between Me and You, we’re getting into the conversation around toxic masculinity, unpacking the societal expectations placed on men, the pressure to suppress emotions, and how traditional ideas of manhood can affect men’s mental health and the relationships they have with the people around them.

Where do we draw the line between healthy masculinity and toxic expectations? Can men be vulnerable without feeling like they’re losing their masculinity? And how do we create space for men to be honest about what they’re going through without shame or judgement?

This is Part 1 of our two-part conversation on men’s mental health. We’re challenging the narratives, asking the uncomfortable questions, and making room for a conversation that matters.

Because being a man shouldn’t mean suffering in silence.

Everyone wants a village… but are we actually willing to be villagers? 👀

We love talking about community, having a solid support system, and surrounding ourselves with people who show up for us. But what happens when friendship starts requiring more than just good vibes and cute pictures? When being a good friend means giving your time, making sacrifices, having uncomfortable conversations, and showing up even when it’s inconvenient?

In Episode 4 of Between Me and You, Tadi and Faz are getting into the REAL cost of friendship. From the expectations we place on our friends to the effort it takes to maintain meaningful relationships, we're asking the questions we don't always want to answer.

💌 In this episode, we're talking about:

• Why friendship can feel so expensive.

• Everyone wants a village, but are you willing to be a villager?

• The difference between wanting support and being supportive.

• Are we expecting too much from our friends?

• What does showing up for your friends actually look like?

• Friendship expectations, boundaries, and the realities of growing up.

Because the truth is, you can't keep asking people to pour into you if you're never willing to pour into them.

So, let's talk about it. 🫣

💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION

Have you ever felt like you were doing more in a friendship than the other person? Or have you ever realised that you wanted a certain kind of friendship but weren't necessarily showing up as that kind of friend yourself?

Is being a “girls’ girl” about genuine solidarity, or have we created a rulebook for how women are supposed to behave?

In Episode 3 of Between Me and You, we’re getting into girls’ girl culture, girl code, pick-me culture, friendship, loyalty and the increasingly blurry line between supporting women and policing them.

From calling someone a “pick me” to the pressure to always back other women, we’re asking: where does girl code come from, who gets to define it, and what happens when you don’t follow it?

Because when there are rules for being a “girls’ girl”… are we talking about a culture, a cult, or a code?

Friendship breakups. The silent unfollows. The conversations that never happened. The moment you realise someone you once considered a close friend is no longer part of your life.

In Episode 2 of Between Me & You, we're getting into the messy, uncomfortable and sometimes necessary reality of friendship breakups.

We're talking about what happens when friendships fall apart, whether every ending needs closure, the difference between protecting your peace and avoiding accountability, and the uncomfortable question we don't always want to ask ourselves:

Am I the drama?😭

Are we too quick to cut people off? Do we know how to have difficult conversations? And how do we take responsibility for our part in a friendship that didn't work out?

So, between me and you… have you ever been the one who got unfollowed, or were you the one doing the unfollowing? 👀

Welcome to the first episode of Between Me & You, your new favourite space for girl chat, honest conversations and all the things that usually start in the group chat. Hosted by Tadiwanashe Magadzire and Fazilla Maseko, this is where we get into the things we say out loud, the things we probably shouldn’t, and everything in between.

For our very first episode, we’re talking about friendship in adulthood and what happens when the people we love, the lives we’re living and the expectations we have of each other begin to evolve.

We’re unpacking changing dynamics, different seasons of life, communication, effort and the expectations we bring into our friendships. Because as we grow, our friendships grow with us, and sometimes maintaining connection means learning to understand people differently.

So, between me and you…are we still friends? Or are we just learning what friendship looks like now?

Get comfortable and join us for our very first conversation. 🤍
