Dark and Twisty Sisters

Episode 3 - The one where we convinced one of our mates to come on as our first official guest.

In this episode we talk to our friend, Jess. We have known Jess for as long as we have known each other. She is one of the original BBG Midlands girls from our insta fitness days and we love her to bits!

We asked Jess if she would come on and share her own experiences of mental health and sobriety journey which she kindly did but she also shared a whole lot more. It’s safe to say this is one hell of a woman. She’s been through some seriously hard stuff and has come out the other side stronger and she is one of the kindest, warmest, determined people we know.

These days Jess is smashing life being a Mum, just started a new part time job within the her local NHS mental health team and teaches yoga at Hotpod yoga in West Bridgford (she's a little bit of a super woman).

This is a good one folks, you might wanna get some headphones!

This week in episode 2 the tables are turned and Lisa practices her interrogation skills on Shae.

You’ll get to hear about what it was like for Shae growing up in an Asian family that lived in a predominantly white area. Her experiences with racism and diversity through her school and university years.

She also talks about her mental health struggles over the years and what led to her choosing the sober lifestyle.

It’s an emotional one guys but Lisa threw in some would you rather’s at the end so don’t worry, tissues are not required.

In our first episode after the pilot, we get to know one of our dark and twisty hosts, Lisa.

Answering questions from Shae, Lisa talks about growing up in Yorkshire and moving to Surrey, how she met her husband in a holiday romance and her honest opinions on fitness influencers and coaches.

We also hear about one of Lisa's most embarrassing stories, her thoughts on travelling on a shoestring and life as a mum.

So settle in with a cup of tea (or your drink of choice) and join us in our first episode.

L&S

The one where Shae thought they were just practising and recording the intro...

Here it is. Our first episode out for the world to hear.

And I’m not kidding. I didn’t expect this to be our first episode but when Lisa said ‘let’s just keep talking’ I was too scared to say no.

So we talked. About how we met. How Lisa scared me back then too. How fitness brought us together but the reality was that she loved it and I only tolerated it when I was in the mood for it, which was hardly ever.

We talked holidays, a bit about our love hate relationship with alcohol and how we are getting cynical with age.

We also touched on tattle life, the website where people go to gossip about social media but is mostly women tearing down other women. Look it up, we’ll probably end up on there once people hear this podcast 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Our future episodes will have more focus (we hope) and of course we have some fab guests lined up. 

But for now go grab a cuppa, put your feet up and listen to us chat shit for half an hour.
