The French Martini Club
Three best friends talking about life, what it is to be a woman and how to navigate the day to day.This podcast is about our honest experiences in womanhood and living life in our thirties. As friends we often chat over a French martini about our lives, if what we are experiencing is ‘normal’ and give each other hints and tips to get us through the roller coaster of being a woman. So here we are about to share with the world in hopes that it can help anyone out there who wants to know ‘Is this normal?’
