TW: This episode contains sensitive content about miscarriage. After her first episode on DMP that opened up the conversation around microchimerism (where a baby’s cells transfer to a mother during pregnancy ♥️), Myleene is back to talk about changing laws around miscarriage and how she won’t stop until the medical profession takes a humane approach to what it is to lose a little life you’ve imagined. To lose a little part of yourself.

Late to the vibrator game, Anna taps up Polly’s wealth of sex toy knowledge to try and close that pleasure gap. From the exact clitoral stimulator that works to a sensually-erotic routine that never fails to win for Pol, this is the first step to bridging that hole of inequality.

It’s been a big week in the DMP towers. After landing the plane as kindly as humanly possible, Anna and her husband Matt announced their divorce. But aside from the pitiful glances and ‘that’s devastating’ responses, there’s another way to navigate two people who simply choose a different path forward. This episode is a celebration of a happy ending. However it looks. And how to land that plane if you are, in fact, realising you aren’t meant to be together forever.

After a week trekking Mont Blanc with 120 women who have navigated breast cancer, Anna pays tribute to a group of women who have one big message: to check your chest. Expect highs, lows, peaks, troughs and a whole lot of female love.

In this episode the Great British Bake-off star wears her heart on her sleeve as she explains how horrendously she was bullied as a young girl. She opens up about what teachers and parents need to do in the face of this kind of pain - and how she overcame a mountain of anxiety to be the success she is today. Three words: What. A. Woman.

In this episode Anna is joined by a special guest, Eunice Booker, whose daughter was able to give the gift of life to six others after a tragic car accident took hers in 2006, aged just 26. Together, Anna and Eunice discuss the importance of confirming your decision for organ donation in support of Organ Donation Week 2023.

Confirm your decision to be an organ donor at organdonation.nhs.uk. It’s the best thing you’ll do today.

This episode was meant to come out a week earlier but Elizabeth was feeling burnt out. She owned where she was and we rearranged the interview. No one died but often we put so much pressure on ourselves to carry on regardless. In this episode Anna and Polly grill her on knowing the signs and how systemically it’s time to break down the 9-5.

Not a very sexy subject but Polly is losing her hair in clumps. Anna lost a lot four years ago and it’s never recovered. It apparently takes 10 years to recover from childbirth but how much do we really recover. This episode is about untangling the knots of motherhood - mentally and physically. And wondering what the root cause of hair loss actually is…

Sure, sure we often shed a tear or two on this podcast. But this episode is more of a cry-laughing vibe. Comedian Sophie McCartney takes Anna and Polly back to her clubbing days in the 90s where boob tubes and YSL shirts abounded. And she contrasts that to hitting the club with kids back home. Brutal, hilarious listening to perk up the most child-ravaged soul.

Anna and Polly delve right into phubbing: the act of ignoring someone you are with and giving attention to your mobile phone instead. Researchers found almost half of relationships are affected by phubbing, so how bad can it get? And what can you do to help?
