It Aint for Sissies

From ice baths at sunrise to wearing eye and spot patches out in public, we’re diving into all the trends everyone seems to be obsessed with right now. In this episode, we unpack the habits, hacks, and “life-changing” routines flooding our feeds — and decide which ones are actually worth it… and which ones are just beautifully branded nonsense.
We talk wellness trends, fitness crazes, beauty rituals, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) pressure to keep up with it all. Are these trends making our lives better, or just busier and more expensive?
Expect strong opinions, light roasting, and a few moments of “wait… should we actually try this?”
If you’ve ever felt personally attacked by a morning routine that starts at 4:30am, this one’s for you.

Family: the original reality show. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the wonderfully complicated world of family dynamics — with a special spotlight on grandparents and the many ways they show up in their grandchildren’s lives… or don’t. From loving support to unsolicited opinions, surprise boundary issues to becoming the household CEO, we unpack why some grandparents become deeply involved while others keep a noticeable distance.
Is it love? Regret? A second chance at parenting? Protecting their freedom? Emotional baggage? Boredom with excellent snacks? We share our own theories, stories, and observations about why some grandparents seem to go from retired to fully re-employed the moment grandchildren arrive — while others prefer a polite cameo appearance once a quarter.
It’s funny, honest, a little spicy, and painfully relatable for anyone who has ever heard the phrase, “Well, when I raised children…” or wondered why Nana is suddenly impossible to book.

In this episode, we take a nostalgic trip into the wonderfully awkward world of Dr Miriam Stoppard’s Questions Children Ask and How to Answer Them — a book that promised clarity, guidance and age-appropriate truth… and delivered answers that were technically correct, yet impressively misleading.
We dive into some of the book’s more memorable responses to children’s big questions and quickly realise that while nothing said was exactly wrong, a lot of it felt like the verbal equivalent of side-stepping eye contact.
From creative wording to strategic explanations, we unpack the fine art of telling children the truth…
Naturally, this leads to plenty of laughter, disbelief, and the comforting realisation that generations of adults have been winging difficult conversations with children for years.
Join us as we revisit a parenting classic, question the logic, admire the confidence, and ask the real question: were the children, and adults alike, actually satisfied with these answers?

We hit record with zero agenda and let the conversation do what it does best — wander. From random thoughts and half-finished stories to unexpected tangents and the occasional moment of accidental insight, this is a classic “we’re just chatting” episode.
It’s the kind of conversation that starts in one place, ends somewhere completely different, and makes perfect sense while it’s happening (we think). No structure, no research, no pressure — just two co-hosts catching up and seeing where things go.
So if you’re in the mood for something easy, relatable, and mildly chaotic, pull up a chair. This is the audio equivalent of a long catch-up with friends… with slightly more sarcasm.

Please note: From minute 47:26 there is some chat about sexual fetishes. Not kid friendly, adults only.

In this episode, we’re doing what we do best: having very strong opinions about things nobody asked us about.
We’re sharing everything we swear by — from products we’re unreasonably loyal to, to routines and life hacks that we’re convinced are the reason we’re still semi-competent adults. Are these life-changing? Maybe. Are we biased? Absolutely.
Expect a mix of genuinely helpful finds, slightly dramatic claims, and a few things we will defend with our whole chest for no real reason. Because at this stage of life, if something works once, it becomes part of your personality.
So if you’ve ever aggressively recommended something to a friend like you’re on commission — welcome. You’re our people.
Grab your notebooks and prepare for a list of things we’re probably never giving up.

(P.S. NONE of the products are sponsored 😉 Just things we'll use until death do us part)
