How do you have the conversation about contraception and fertility? Why is fertility such a difficult thing to talk about? And for that matter, why does it feel like women are responsible for bringing the topic up?

A+A discuss why we need to start having open and honest conversations around fertility, Amanda's experience of going through IVF in the spotlight, and the world of IVF influencers.

The holidays are a time when families come together… for better or for worse. In these days of polarising political opinions, many of us might still be reeling from a fight we had with our vaccine resistant uncle or a radicalised friend. 

Amanda and Anita both read a book over the holidays which may have the answers for what’s happened to cause such distance in recent years, and how to bring us back together.

As we approach the new year, Amanda and Anita discuss resolutions and whether making them is B-S, or a good thing to do.

With Christmas just weeks away, Amanda and Anita are getting prepared for Christmas Day- how they do it now and how they grew up doing it.

Also on the topic of cooking, Sara Lee recently going into liquidation has sparked some thoughts about how the company changed the way women thought about food preparation, and how A+A like to cook, prep and entertain now.  (FYI: Anita confesses something Australians might find VERY strange about how Canadian’s food prep!)

A nice light and bright episode to take you into December when things start to get a little crazy. 

Anita and Amanda don’t live the lives that their mothers did. Like most modern women, A+A are going about their daily life very differently compared to the women the generation before. However, Amanda has discovered that Anita has taken one pastime from her mother, and it seems that many women are doing the same!

Also – Anita is being haunted by something very strange…..

Amanda helped launch a charity for a friend last week called ‘The Please Stay Foundation’ which helps young adolescents who are suffering with their mental health. Amanda was moved at how many parents in the crowd were overwhelmed with emotion at some of the lived experiences they have had with their children. Anita equips us with a wealth of information about this particular topic, how you can prepare to see a psychologist and the checklist you need before you go.

Influencers are taking over our social media feeds… but ‘outfit tagging’, and ‘makeup routines’ are sooo yesterday. Amanda and Anita want to discuss some new influencers on the block. The beige, brown and red! They are the unlikely ones taking social media by storm at the moment, A+A will explain what they are and why the sudden interest

There is a lot of talk about women who are a similar age to Amanda and Anita coming into their ‘third act.’ It's the stage where you are balancing a new lease on life whether it be kids moving out (but still needing you), your parents still being around (and needing you) and your life becoming a little more flexible to fit in travel, work, love...

However, it’s also a stage where women feel the most invisible and feel a great deal of stress to ‘age gracefully’ in a world that tells us not to. 

Amanda and Anita deep dive into the pressure of third act – good and the bad.

Anita read an article the other day about a woman’s sex toy getting hacked…. Yes, you read that right. Who would’ve thought we’d live in a world where even sex toys can be hacked, but here we are.

Amanda and Anita deep dive into the evolution of scams. When they were young, it was ones in comic books and chain mail. Hackers then moved into romantic scams, into playing on our guilt, into targeting shame.

Anita unpacks what makes us vulnerable to scams and how we can live in a world where we can’t trust anyone. We also had some great suggestions from our listeners!

We are a month into the podcast and we're getting some great reactions from you all which we are so chuffed about... plus, we even have a listener who has written in wanting some life tips from us. The pressure!

Anita has also found a new trend on TikTok, and it revolves around people celebrating the “glimmers” in their lives, rather than the triggers. Anita gives us insight as to why we always focus on the triggers, rather than the glimmers. 

A+A want to lean into glimmer, and for you to join in too!
