We’re back in the studio this week after a very real few days — Lauren’s car (Pudding, bless her) is being a little diva and refusing to start, Paloma (Jacqueline’s car) needed a dramatic rescue, and that was just Wednesday...

But this isn’t just a podcast about dodgy Corsas and roadside breakdowns (though honestly, we could do a whole series).

This week, we’re talking about something a little deeper: how to sit with the hard stuff — frustration, shame, overwhelm — without letting it swallow you whole.

We chat about:

• The emotional whiplash of caregiving (and snack-demanding toddlers)

• Why sometimes the smallest things (like an empty petrol tank or an eye roll) hit the hardest

• PMDD, perimenopause, and how hormones are truly that bitch

• What it means to actually build capacity — not to “cope better,” but to stay kind to yourself when things are messy

  
  

And yes, we’re still laughing through all of it — because if you can’t laugh when your car won’t start in the rain, what can you do?

Whether you're a parent, a carer, in the thick of burnout, or just a human with big feelings and no time — this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen and let us know what feelings are kicking off in your house this week. We’ll bring snacks. (But not for Bella. She’s had five.)
