Who do you judge in an age gap relationship? The older person, the younger person... or yourself for the assumptions you make?
Jeannette McCurdy's fiction book, Half His Age, has reignited the conversation, prompting Clare, Em and Mia to unpack who really holds the power in relationships where there's a significant age difference. They explore life stages, consent, and whether some relationships come with an inevitable expiry date.
Plus, Mia shares a deeply personal story about her own age-gap relationship and reflects on how she sees it more than 30 years later.
