TW: consent.  Let's talk wanking.  For the second episode of our sexy season, Jana, Alicia and Ria talk all things female pleasure. Why do we hide our vibrators? Why is wanking such a masculine practice? and should we really be feeling awkward about talking to our closest friends about it? Take a listen to hear our take...

TW: Grief When your life changes and your house becomes a florist. On 17th June 2020, our lovely father, Nab passed away. It was sudden, out the blue and jolted my life forever. Life is now very much pre and post Dad and I can't see it any other way. One day I was 19 years old, the next I was living a life that was way beyond my control, knowledge or what should be expected of any 19 year old - overwhelming to say the least.  Over the past year, with the support of incredible friends and family, I've managed to navigate my way through the world as I knew it collapsing in on itself, for who am I or where do I go without my Dad?  Grief is still confusing and everchanging but after a year, I feel like I have a handle on it, I can verbalise it and that's what this episode is today. A 40 minute rundown of the most intense experience of my life and where I'm headed.  Happiness is out there, despite what grief makes you believe.  Feel like you have a voice to be heard?

TW: Grief Sita, Mara and Ria. aka The trio. aka The sisters. aka Flora, Fauna and Merriweather. Please give a warm welcome this week to Sita and Mara Kalsi, Ria's older sisters, and a huge pat on the back for actually managing to co-ordinate the three of them to record an episode!  It's totally fitting that Sita and Mara are the first guests on the podcast being 2 of the women who inspire not only Matriarch but Ria, every day.  Our sister's club has always been tight knit, weird and private. We almost exclusively communicate in FRIENDS references and from the outside, as we have been made aware, we seem like total idiots. But we're fine with that, and if you are too, we're opening up the club today in our first (hopefully of many) sister's club episodes! Our relationships have been developing exponentially but this past year has been the most intense we might ever have. After losing our father in June 2020 and coming back home to live together for the first time in 10 years, we decided to sit down to discuss our lovely daddy, Nab. Feel like you have a voice to be heard? Let us know and send a DM or an email! For more information, head to our website, mtrrch.com. Find us on Instagram: @mtrrch This one is dedicated to our beautiful Mama, who's merged the roles of Mum and Dad unimaginably. 

TW: eating disorders, calorie counting, diets, body image and weight loss/gain. Finding fitness in my life has always been a struggle and a yoyo but now, at the age of 20, I do feel like I'm getting there and changing my lifestyle for my body and mind. But this was hard, it's been 2 years and I'm still going, because ultimately, none of this is linear - it's a consistent effort. Join our creator and founder Ria for another episode where she discusses the past 2 years of incorporating fitness and prioritising health in her life-  the good, the bad and the beautiful!
