Can you imagine packing up your life after university and heading to South America to start a community project? That’s exactly what Sarah Abdoo did. After graduating from Oxford University, she flew to Bolivia and began building connections that changed her life and the lives of the women in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

Meet Sarah Abdoo, the founder of Adelante Mujer. Sarah’s mission began with small workshops in safe houses, offering local Bolivian women a path to life free from violence. Over time, it grew into a bridge connecting tourists with local communities, a network of women supporting one another, and eventually a community-led organization.

Adelante Mujer now provides workshops, classes, and programs that help women earn higher incomes, improve their working conditions, and most importantly, heal from the past to lead empowered futures.

Sarah’s story moved us deeply—her passion, courage, and love for this mission are nothing short of inspiring.

Tune in to learn about her connection to Bolivia, the challenges and triumphs of her journey, her evolving sense of womanhood, and the shocking realities of gender discrimination faced by women in Bolivia.

In this episode, we discuss why it’s so hard to make friends as an adult, cultural differences towards friendship in different countries, whether we find it easier to be friends with guys or with girls, how our parents influence our friendships, how a lot of people prioritise dating or meeting romantic partners over making new friends, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right friends.

We also give advice about different ways to make new friends - it doesn’t have to involve going to parties!

Finally, we tell the story behind how we ended up becoming best friends (as adults)! And share our tips for how to build deep and meaningful connections when meeting new people and making new friends.

Our first guest interview episode is with Camila Fumarola, an illustrator from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Camila talks about her participation in the protests there that lead to the legalization of free, accessible abortions in Argentina.

We also talk about: feminism in Argentina, can men really be feminist allies, internalised misogyny among women, gender inequality for contraception, and what we imagine abortions would be like if it were men who got pregnant instead of women!

The episode begins with an introduction about Camila, and the main discussion starts at 12:53.
