Trust. It’s the pillar of any relationship — romantic or not. That’s what Indy believes. She also thinks there’s no reason NOT to give it out when you first meet someone.

But others would disagree, arguing trust should be earned. That, Indy reckons, is just going into life with a negative attitude and nobody’s got time for that. So what could possibly happen to make someone with her shiny outlook do a complete 180?

There are many great loves women can find in their lives. Best friends, sisters, ‘The One’, the one who got away and of course, the gay best friend.

It really is a love like no other. And because it’s a friendship, deep and fulfilling but platonic, it doesn’t have the same pressures as a romantic relationship. Nothing could ever come between you, or change what you have. Until, it does.

When you know, you know. That’s what they say. And that can even be true for some who meet us young as 15. That was the case for Amy and Sam.

But just because you’ve known someone for more than a decade, shared a life, a home, even a child … can you ever really know anyone?

Money. We work hard for it. It can bring so much joy, especially when shared with loved ones to create long lasting memories, as was the case for Bianca.

But there’s a dark side to money. Or more so how it can turn acts of kindness into entrapment and loved ones into vultures.

Acceptance. We all crave it and it makes us feel good. But it feels extra special when it comes at a time in need and from someone who you immediately fancy and this was the case when Sacha met Jay.

But the thing about acceptance is that when you have it, it’s something you’re scared to lose. Even if what originally felt so good, starts to feel isolating and….off. And what once felt safe, feels very, very scary.

The power of the sisterhood. Isn’t it glorious? Female friendships can really be the true, Great Loves of our lives. Lucy certainly felt it with her bestie, Holly.

The best thing about a girlfriend? They’re there through everything. The good times and the bad, all the hurt and the heartbreaks. Unless of course, they’re the one who caused them.

Age differences. Do they really mean anything? You’re only as old as the person you feel, age is but a number, etc etc etc. It doesn’t matter when you’re in love, right? That was the case for Carly. She’ll be the first person to tell you age doesn’t mean a damn thing when you find your One. But whether age is the problem or not, some love stories just don’t end the way we plan.

A heads up: this episode deals with serious themes including domestic violence, coercive control and suicide. Listener discretion is advised. 

We always hear how great a relationship is when it begins. Why else would it, right? There’s butterflies, late nights staying up talking, a sense of belonging, desire and comfort. Having that one person to plan life with and who’s just desperate to have you around all the time.

But what about when that desperation becomes too much and starts looking and feeling more like … control? And then that control becomes worrying .. and scary … and dangerous?

Words. Some say they’re the most powerful tool we have as humans. Words have the ability to portray thoughts and emotions, share stories, convey feelings and make people feel loved.

But when something holds power, it can go both ways. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me? Bull. 

Some words can not just hurt - they can change the course of someone’s entire life.

Online dating. We've all heard a story - good or bad. It’s the way of the world now. You log on, upload your best pics, think of a few witty pickup lines and get swiping. And if you're lucky, you won’t be swiping too long, because the perfect person is right there at the tap of a button - without having to even leave the couch.

But how well can you really know someone before you’ve actually met them? How can you trust everything they’re telling you? Where they say they live, what their job is, or their true intentions?
