So, this episode looks at that situation, and how to deal with badly behaved pets. Is there such a thing? Or are there simply badly behaved owners?

There is a trend at the moment where people ‘raw-dog’ long plane rides to test their mental resilience. This gets Amanda and Anita thinking about boredom – a sensation that our busy, modern lives have essentially stamped out. What starts as a relatively sensible conversation about this, quickly becomes an in-depth chat about Fairy Porn… which happens to be Amanda’s unexpected new obsession. If you can’t get past the pointy ears, maybe maladaptive daydreaming is more your thing for passing the time on a long-haul flight? Let us know how you handle boredom on Instagram or Facebook…

There is a reason most of us relish a bit of ‘driveway time’ at the end of a big day. It’s in moments like these that we can prepare to transition from one mode to another. To take a breath, shift the gears, and step into our next moment at a better pace. In this episode, Amanda and Anita discuss the stressors that come with change. Whether positive Eustress or negative Distress as explained by Anita, there is always some level of stress that comes with change. So how do we use the transitional moments in our days as grouting that helps us on our way...

If you’re over 18 we have some bad news… it might be too late for you to become an Olympian. So as the next best thing, this week Amanda and Anita are talking all about the great highs and lows of sport. There are those who love ‘the biff’, and who have their own superstitious ways of supporting their favourite teams - but there are also those who hate it.

With the Paris Olympics kicking off tomorrow, Amanda and Anita are considering the idea of competitiveness. Apparently, Bronze Olympic medalists are often more satisfied with their place on the podium than Silver medalists. What does that tell us about the mindset of competitors? Could the key to happiness possibly be to lower expectations? Should Anita from this day forth be referred to exclusively as The Quiet Assassin? There are many questions on the table this week...

Kids are living with their parents for longer. This is a fact that has Amanda and Anita questioning the amount of communication and guidance parents should provide to their children as they enter young adulthood. Once upon a time it was just an occasional call from a pay phone to let each other know you're still alive. Now, it is a constant stream of calls and texts. So, is there any harm in keeping your children close? Or should parental wisdom be put to as much use as possible...

Amanda and Anita recently walked past a young woman who seemed to be upset. This got them thinking about what the best protocol is in situations like these. Should you approach a stranger to ask if they are alright? What if they are offended or just want a moment to themselves? From 'The Angel Of The Gap', to the invasion of privacy, and Anita's approach to offering her friendship and support - there are many lessons to be learned when it comes to offering kindness...

If you’ve come across ‘Tradwife’ content on your social media feeds, you’re not the only one. These picture-perfect videos of women presenting as idealised visions of domestic wives are spreading far and wide. While the videos themselves may not be directly harmful or sinister, Amanda and Anita discuss what Tradwife content might signal. Is this what young women want? Why are so many men watching these videos? Where are our algorithms taking us?
