S1 Ep. 13 - New Year, Same Us | Reflection, Growth, and Stepping into What's Next

This episode was recorded months ago, during a time when Quai was deeply present, excited, and in love with this podcast. Releasing it now is something we are doing in honour of her and in alignment with her wishes. This is the first episode we are sharing since Quai’s passing, and it marks the beginning of finishing the season we filmed together. There are two more episodes that will be released in the coming weeks, completing what we started with so much care and intention. In this New Year focused conversation, Ty and Quai reflect on endings, growth, and what it means to move forward without closing your heart. They talk about change, self-reflection, and the quiet shifts that happen when you begin to choose yourself more fully. It’s a conversation about reclaiming moments, setting intentions with honesty, and seeing one another clearly during a time of transition. The episode closes with a deeply personal exchange, as Ty and Quai read heartfelt letters they wrote to one another and reflect on what they believe is possible moving forward. This conversation captures Quai exactly as she was - thoughtful, honest, warm, and full of vision. Thank you for holding this space with care.

S1 Ep. 12 - Periods, PMS & The Friendship Care Plan | How We Learned to Navigate & Support Each Other Through The Chaos

Periods are natural, but navigating them inside a friendship is a whole different journey. In this week’s episode of Friends with Benefits, Quai is officially on her dot and the cravings, the emotions, and the chaos have arrived. From wanting ice cream, a Jamaican patty, cake, and doughnuts all at once, to the moment Ty quietly realized he now tracks her cycle as part of their friendship care plan, nothing is off limits. They talk about how PMS used to create tension, why Quai didn’t always say when she was on her period, and how learning the signs helped Ty show up with more compassion, more snacks, and less confusion. They unpack what communication looks like during hormonal chaos and how honesty has made their friendship stronger. Then comes the iconic Ice Cream Meltdown: the story that shifted everything. The cravings, the misunderstandings, the “I felt abandoned” moment, and the laughter that made it easier to talk about the hard parts. They get real about de-stigmatizing period conversations in all relationships and why relief, love, and humour matter more than perfection. Whether you’re someone who goes through PMS or someone who supports someone who does, this episode has tenderness, chaos, clarity, and a lot of chocolate.

S1 Ep. 11 - Family Dynamics | Estranged & Chosen | Would You Choose Them...If They Weren't Family?

Family relationships shape us long before we understand what love, boundaries, or safety actually mean. But as we grow, many of us start to realize that sharing DNA does not automatically equal closeness or kindness. In this week’s episode of Friends with Benefits, Ty and Quai open up about the complicated reality of family dynamics: the warmth, the distance, the hurt, and the healing. They unpack the moment you finally question a relationship you have always been told you cannot walk away from, and what it means to choose peace over obligation. Through honest reflection and a few emotional truths they have not shared before, they explore the difference between loving someone and liking the way they show up. From navigating estrangement to redefining loyalty, the conversation highlights how freeing it can be to set boundaries with the people who know you best and sometimes wound you the most. They also dive into the power of chosen family: the teachers, mentors, friends, and community members who fill the gaps with compassion, consistency, and care. Because support does not have to come from blood. It comes from the people who create safety with you. This episode is for anyone navigating complicated parents, estranged relationships, or the pressure to tolerate treatment you would never accept from anyone else.
