About this listen

 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 10: Between Grace and Goodbye

    Episode 10: Between Grace and Goodbye
    Jun 27 2025

    In this episode, we explore the tension of staying in relationship with people we don’t agree with. Is cutting people off always the answer? What’s the cost of continuing the relationship? Can we draw the line between discomfort and danger? We explore how much grace is expected and whether that grace gets in the way of accountability, especially when there is an imbalance of power. Esther shares why grace and understanding should be at the center of disagreement. Aisha and Mofi ultimately agree but with reservations as they reflect on who is always expected to take on the burden of educating and extending grace, and at what cost. We wrap the episode by sharing our accountability goals and ask ask for grace as we move through them.

    Enjoy the episode and let us know what you think. Thank you for sticking with us for 10 episodes. We’re looking forward to 10 more with you.

    We’re backkkkkk! Catch up on what we each got up to during our month-long break and how successful we were on our accountability goals (Spoiler: Someone may need to lay hands on Esther at this point). We also took a trip down memory lane and discussed the things we might do differently if we had to go through high school all over again. Enjoy the episode and feel free to share your own thoughts on what you would do differently!

  • Episode 8: Strictly Platonic? ft. Koj (SubmaRoach)

    Episode 8: Strictly Platonic? ft. Koj (SubmaRoach)
    May 16 2025
    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.
