Join us, Sandrine and Malaika, two 20-something-year-olds navigating the beautiful chaos of big-city life. From friendships and family to work, relationships, and everything in between, this podcast will feel like a heart-to-heart with your best friends, your sister, or even a younger, bolder version of yourself. Expect laughs, warmth, relatability, vulnerability, and a fresh take on growing through life’s twists and turns. The S&M Podcast is your weekly dose of humour, heart, and real talk. Let’s navigate this messy, beautiful journey together!
In this week’s episode of the S&M Podcast, we ask the age-old question:
Can sex ever really be casual?
Malaika believes boundaries and emotional clarity are key when choosing casual connections — because unspoken expectations create avoidable pain.
Sandrine sees it differently: even if something starts casual, closing yourself off to care or connection might mean missing out on something real.
It’s a layered, honest conversation about intimacy, intention, and what it means to feel without falling apart.
Then, we shift to a heavier moment in the episode:
The Diddy verdict — and what it reveals about how we value women's pain, especially in cases of domestic or spousal abuse. We talk about silence, complicity, and the ongoing work of believing and standing with survivors.
This conversation isn’t about cancel culture — it’s about care, clarity, and calling things what they are.
As always, send us your thoughts, stories, or dilemmas to sandmtakepodcasting@gmail.com 💌

Episode Ten: Love Island & the Lack of Love
This week on the S&M Podcast, we’re entering the villa — but we’re bringing emotional intelligence and media literacy with us 🫢
It’s a Love Island USA Season 6 special, and we’re breaking it all the way down:
💔 Misogyny & manipulation
⚖️ Double standards that make us scream
🧊 The lack ofvulnerability or how it gets lost in the Love Island editing room
We don’t always agree (obviously), but one thing we can align on?
The women deserved better.
So grab a snack, press play, and come spiral with us — respectfully.

This week on the S&M Podcast, we’re talking about the real (and sometimes rocky) realities of working, living, and loving in Geneva in 2025.
🛠 First up:
“Let’s talk: international organisations & job stability in a transient city”
We unpack what it actually looks like to work in a city that’s always shifting — and how politics, privilege, and precarity show up in our careers.
🍷 Then we hit our weekly catch-up — dinner with the girls, dancing into the night, and the joy of doing soft things that build real community.
💌 And finally:
“Managing long-distance friendships & building community”
We get deep about missing people you love, navigating attachment styles, and the bittersweet work of staying close to faraway friends. If you’ve ever been the one who moved — or the one who stayed behind — this one’s for you.
