このコンテンツについて

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!

  • Episode 8: Strictly Platonic? ft. Koj (SubmaRoach)
    2025/05/16
    This week, we’re joined by our very first guest, Sayo a.k.a Koj from Submarine and a Roach podcast! Together, we wade into the murky waters of intimacy in mixed gender friendships, asking the age-old question: Can men and women really be just friends? Esther believes proximity and strong boundaries are key to keeping romantic feelings at bay. Sayo gets why some people might raise an eyebrow, and claims that men can’t be trusted. Mofi highlights the constant shadow of romantic suspicion that tends to follow platonic friendships (even in queer spaces) which makes it hard to be close without it being questioned. And Aisha asks: so what if there’s attraction and you act on it? She challenges the binary thinking around intimacy and friendship, emphasising that people should define these connections on their own terms.

  • Episode 7: The Joys and Woes of Living in the Diaspora
    2025/05/02
    In this episode, we explore the layered experiences of life in the diaspora. From the transition out of Nigeria to life in Canada and the UK, we unpack what it means to carry your culture with you and how that culture shifts in new environments. We talk about boarding school life post-Nigeria, navigating the clash between Nigerian and Western values, and the unique challenges of raising children with a sense of identity that spans continents. Esther shares why she prioritises her daughter learning French over Yoruba, while Mofi opens up about her deep need to return to Nigeria regularly even when her queer identity complicates that connection. This episode is about reconciling love for home with the realities of building life elsewhere and how we stay connected, even from afar.

  • Episode 6: Are you settling or compromising?
    2025/04/18
    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?
