Ten-year-old Steph & Laura would be LOSING their minds that they got to interview a Spice Girl!!!
This week we had the enormous pleasure of chatting with Melanie C (Sporty Spice) about the early days of The Spice Girls, how she got the title of Sporty Spice, her most iconic outfits, and what record labels thought of girl bands, as well as life after The Spice Girls, including building a solo career, and her new album ‘Sweat’.
We also ask Melanie her 3B’s - how she wants to better herself, who she wants to belong to, and who she wants to become.

This week we’re talking about the expectations put on mothers sharing (or not sharing) motherhood online.
We know y’all love Shameless as much as we do, so you might have heard a conversation that Michelle & Zara had a few weeks ago about Margot Robbie and an article calling her out for pretending she’s “not a mum”.
It inspired us to share our own experiences of sharing motherhood online and how Laura’s opinions have changed since giving birth to Atlas.
Also! Laura responds to an unhinged troll comment about her breastfeeding Atlas on video.

It’s time to open the mailbox!
QUESTION #1: my fiancé went to the strippers on his buck’s night. He told me straight away and he can’t stand the thought of cheating, but I can’t get the thought of another woman sitting naked on his lap, out of my head
QUESTION #2: I’m 18 weeks pregnant and I’m really struggling with family commenting on my body using words like "fatty" or "oh yes, your gut is getting bigger" when I barely have a bump
