The Pleasure of Becoming a Grown Woman: Your 30s, Age Gap Dating & Celibacy ft. Nandipha Mqoco

Whoever convinced women that life peaks in their twenties has some explaining to do. 😭Because if you ask us? The thirties are kind of giving.This week, Nandipha Mqoco pulls up a chair at the A2B Café for a conversation about getting older, getting hotter, getting clearer on who you are and why there is so much more life waiting for women on the other side of 30.We talk about the freedom that comes with knowing yourself better, our changing relationships with our bodies, style, confidence, friendship, career and the pressure women feel to have life “figured out” by a certain age.And because we're still lover girls around here, we also get into love, dating and what romance looks like when you're older, wiser and perhaps a little less willing to entertain nonsense. 😂Think Sex and the City, Girlfriends, Insecure-except this time, we’re the women in our thirties we grew up watching.🥂 This episode of According to B is powered by Bernini.✰ TIMESTAMPS✰01:00- Coming up02:23- Intro 05:08- Bokang introduces Nandipha to A2B 06:10- Game: The starter- for the plot17:50- The main: The conversation18:17- How Nandipha felt on the lead up to 3024:44- What Nandipha thought 30 would look like vs the reality32:27- Nandipha on the importance of living alone40:31- Nandipha’s approach to love in her 30s vs her 20s46:59- Nnadipha’s concerns about millennials and their inability to understand consent48:37- How Nandipha’s decision to date differently has affected who she can date49:50- Nandipha’s celibacy journey56:53- How dating changed for Nandipha changed when sex was off the table01:00:03- Other forms of intimacy that Nandipha enjoys01:04:13- What 20 year old Nandipha would be surprised by01:05:45- What Nandipha would tell 20 year old her about navigating the 20’s01:07:19- Dessert: Nandipha is gifted her Bernini tote bag01:08:03- Outro✰ SOCIAL MEDIA ✰Bokang➜ Instagram: @sheisbokang-https://www.instagram.com/sheisbokang ➜ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sheisbokang  The B Word➜ Instagram: @thebword_za -https://www.instagram.com/thebword_za ➜ Tik Tok: @thebwordza https://www.tiktok.com/@thebword_za Guest➜ Instagram: @nandipha_mqoco-https://www.instagram.com/nandipha_mqoco-➜Tik Tok:@nandipha_mqoco-https://www.tiktok.com/@nandipha_mqoco ✰ BUSINESS INQUIRIES ✰E-mail: hello@thebwordmedia.com ✰ TEAM/CREDITS ✰Producer: Bokang Lehlokoe & Tshegetso Moepi Videography: Shutter ScopePost Production: Palesa Radebe
