Viewer discretion is advised, please protect your mental healths always. 💕 This week, we are back with an episode that should never have needed to see the day, talking about the Mazan (aka Pelicot) trials currently unfolding in France and questioning what is it that society teaches us that allows for such crimes to be committed, victims to be doubted and defendants to be protected so much.  Some rough guides of the most explicit triggering mentions below:  06:05 - 06:35 07:55 - 08:30 11:10 - 11:14 13:16 - 14:24 28:02 - 28:05 36:14 - 36:56 38:51 - 38-55 39:07 - 39:29  40:11 - 40:17 41:34 -  41:45 42:22 - 42:33  43:45 - 44:15  46:16 - 46:46 50:59 - 51:11 -------------------  Find Juicy Conversations with Julie Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/juicy_conversations ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/juicyconversations/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/juicyconversations/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/juicyconvos1⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tiktok:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@juicyconversations⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@juicyconversationswithjuli3423⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📧 Email me: [email protected]

Summer is over, Juicy Conversations is back! Today we're talking about anything and everything, from seasonal theories to routine changes and how they can affect us, to how I got ready for one of my favourite periods of the year, we're having a very chaotic, juicy catch-up. ------------------- Find Juicy Conversations with Julie Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/juicy_conversations ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/juicyconversations/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/juicyconversations/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/juicyconvos1⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tiktok:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@juicyconversations⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@juicyconversationswithjuli3423⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📧 Email me: [email protected]

After a short break, we are back with yet another juicy catch-up. From UK elections to the rise of far-right ideologies and the impunity of those spreading them to the Celebrity BlockOut2024 movement, we're reviewing some of the news that stuck with me during the break, analysing them, and understanding what we can do to try and make things better because no matter how bad it gets, we keep pushing!

All it took was one article about alleged conversations between President Macron and Aya Nakamura to start a national debate. It is rumoured that the singer might be performing at the 2024 Paris Olympics' opening ceremony, maybe even singing Edith Piaf and it's safe to say, a lot of people are unhappy. Now, music tastes are subjective and personal, but the discourse around this possible performance quickly turned subtly (or not) racist and misogynistic, and that's what we're diving into today. ------------------- Find the podcast: Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/juicy_conversations ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/juicyconversations/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/juicyconversations/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/juicyconvos1⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tiktok:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@juicyconversations⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@juicyconversationswithjuli3423⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📧 Email me: [email protected]

This week's episode works as a continuation and more of an opinion piece to an article I wrote questioning the power of boycotts in our day and age. Read the article: https://julie-ngalle04.medium.com/in-2024-can-boycotts-still-work-29639b3c8419 The short of it is: that we need to do more and stop making excuses if we want to channel the true potential of people power. ------------------- Find the podcast: Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/juicy_conversations ⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/juicyconversations/⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/juicyconversations/⁠⁠⁠ Twitter ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/juicyconvos1⁠⁠⁠ Tiktok:  ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@juicyconversations⁠⁠⁠ Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@juicyconversationswithjuli3423⁠⁠⁠ 📧 Email me: [email protected]

Happy New Year my darlings 💞 We're back today with our annual reflections from new resolutions to learnings from the past year and just the general life updates. To start the year right, we're also going through some of the big societal conversations that happened this year and basically just asking politicians to start caring about people other than themselves. Hope you enjoy it and please let me know if you do! ------------------- Find the podcast: Website: ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/juicy_conversations ⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/juicyconversations/⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/juicyconversations/⁠⁠ Twitter ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/juicyconvos1⁠⁠ Tiktok:  ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@juicyconversations⁠⁠ Youtube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@juicyconversationswithjuli3423⁠⁠ 📧 Email me: [email protected]

In recent years, the queer community, and more specifically the trans community have been subject to dangerous, unfounded, and hateful attacks from media, governments, and the general public all across the world. In a world where the idea of a 'culture war' is being thrown around senselessly, we got together to talk about the root of the many (non) issues that are surfacing notably in the UK and US and the need for all of us, to come together, recognise that was is happening is no more than a political distraction from the very real problems our societies face as well as continue to support and fight for every queer person's right to exist, live safely, and thrive.

Hey besties!! Very quick episode today just to say a quick hello and check in. Look forward to speaking to you all soon and sharing some of the content I have in store xxxx ------------------- Find the podcast: Website: ⁠https://linktr.ee/juicy_conversations ⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/juicyconversations/⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/juicyconversations/⁠ Twitter ⁠https://twitter.com/juicyconvos1⁠ Tiktok:  ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@juicyconversations⁠ Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@juicyconversationswithjuli3423⁠ 📧 Email me: [email protected]

It's been an intense few weeks in the digital world with Collen Ballinger getting canceled (yet again), Shein's latest and most controversial influencer trip and our usual internet favs (or not) acting absolutely unhinged, as always really! In the chaos of all this, on the pod, it got us thinking about if and how influencer activity and content can be regulated and how many passes can a person get before they lose their platform.

We are back today and we are M.A.D. We're discussing the sentencing to prison of a woman in the UK who got an abortion beyond the legal limit, the limitations of legislation and the need for it to evolve with society, and why allyship cannot have conditions. I talked about conditional allyship in an article a few months ago (link below) when looking at the bullying Sam Smith received, and it, in many ways applies here as it raises the question: should people's existence and decisions account for the feelings of others if they don't impact those others? Give it a listen and let me know your thoughts!
