Navigating your 20s Ft Isaac Kanye

Wish Dami Aros a Happy Birthday guys 

Hey guys! This week, we are joined by the freshly retired Isaac from Road to 30 Podcast, and by “retired,” we mean he just wrapped up his 20s! And also, as many of you may know, our sister-podcast has also come to an end, and we couldn’t think of a better way to honour that journey than to bring Isaac on for one final chat.


We talk about navigating your 20s - the chaos, the clarity, the confusion, and the healing. From identity shifts to career drama, pressure, friendships, family, adulting and mental health, this episode is packed with laughs, lessons, and a little nostalgia.


Whether you’re deep in your 20s or watching them approach like a storm, this conversation will feel like a warm hug and a gentle nudge.


Make sure you listen, share with your people, and send love to the Road to 30 fam one more time.

Once A Cheat, Always A Cheat

Watch here - https://youtu.be/JEFQXd4Hr8E


Hey guys! On today’s episode, we have just one question for you. Should you take back a cheating partner? 


We talk about everything from “it was just a mistake” to “once a cheat, always a cheat” and whether love, marriage, or years of history should make forgiveness easier (or harder). Is emotional cheating worse than physical cheating? Can trust ever be rebuilt? And most importantly - are you a clown or a lover for giving them another chance? 


If you’ve ever been in this position, judged someone who stayed, or are currently debating texting them back… this one’s for you.

Are we overworking because we have to or because we’re addicted to the grind? Can you really rest when the bills keep flying in? And why do we sometimes feel guilty for resting?

Are Nigerian Stereotypes Lowkey Beneficial?

Is Micro-Cheating the New Normal?

So Nigerians!! On today’s episode, we’re talking about micro-cheating. Yeah, that sneaky little sibling of full-blown cheating. Is liking someone’s thirst trap at 1AM just being friendly, or are you emotionally unavailable and unserious?


We’re unpacking the blurry lines: hidden DMs, “work wife/husbands,” and all those situationships that live rent-free in your notifications. Is it harmless fun or lowkey betrayal? We share our thoughts as usual.

The Yapping episode

Hello guys! On today’s episode, we really didn’t talk about anything specific. Nigeria happened to us in many ways, so the energy to come up with a topic was low, so we really just yapped about everything that’s been happening. We also talked about the Nigerian habit of adjusting or like we say “we move”-ing when there are problems. It’s resilience, but sometimes we need to fight the mediocrity. Anyways, that’s all for now. See you guys next week, with a banger topic!

Why Male Friendships Often Lack Emotional Depth

Hey guys! On today’s episode, we’re getting real about male friendships, or the lack of them. Why is it so hard for men to open up to each other? Is everyone just vibing on surface level while struggling in silence?

 


We talk about the unspoken loneliness many men carry, why checking in feels awkward, and how the whole “men don’t cry” thing is still messing things up. Whether you’ve got a solid brotherhood or you’re realizing you’ve been going through life solo, this convo is for you.

Sexual Purity and Celibacy

We also discuss the pressures of looking rich, the rise of online flex culture, and why many assume that young people with money must be into Yahoo or runs.
