Hello wave riders welcome to another episode of the Tide Clique Podcast. In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane, sharing our childhood birthday party experiences whether we had them or not and how those early moments shaped our views on celebration and belonging. We shift into the realities of adulthood, questioning why some of us can’t afford to fundraise a wedding, whether lavish ceremonies are necessary and how societal pressure often dictates what should be deeply personal choices. The conversation gets deeper as we address uncomfortable truths, like the exploitation of disabled individuals through forced or manipulative pregnancies. It’s a blend of nostalgia, critique and unfiltered honesty.
