The Social Dilemma

Bianka, 30, has just split from her husband and has been doing nothing short of thriving - despite the fact the breakup occurred during a global pandemic and left her stranded in Stage Four restrictions. Resilience is her middle name. Bianka may be slightly bitter towards marriage but she’s also discovering that it’s sweet to be freed of the tight noose known as holy matrimony. Damsel Undistressed will follow Bianka’s journey as she navigates life following her recent separation. Talking all things marriage, divorce, separation, dating,  and independence! Come along as Bianka figures it all out.
