This week’s special guest is the fabulous Gemma Mickle! A fellow expat and teacher, Gemma joins me to share her remarkable journey to parenthood, talking us through the highs, lows, challenges and lengthy process of adoption here in Thailand. Gemma and I met back in 2019 through our hairdresser when we had a brief introduction and Gemma had started the adoption application process. Now, 7 years later, she is mummy to a gorgeous daughter! 

As someone who recently froze my eggs and is considering different routes to parenthood myself, this is a conversation I’ve been really excited for! Whether you’ve adopted a child, are adopted yourself, are considering adoption in the future or are generally just interested to hear from someone who has done it solo, then this episode is for you!

In the UK, April is all about Easter, a significant Christian festival, celebrating Jesus’ resurrection and the promise of eternal life. Common traditions involve welcoming spring and new life, spending quality time with family, the Easter bunny and stuffing your faces with overpriced chocolate eggs. 

In Thailand, April is a time for celebrating the Thai new year, known as Songkran. With temperatures soaring 40°, constant sunshine and public holidays, there’s really no better time for the entire country to have a national water fight that lasts 3 days! Loud music, bright floral shirts, water pistols and face chalk = carnage, chaos and craziness! 

I’ve not been in Bangkok for Songkran since 2019 so this year will be a bit different. Listen along as I talk about my favourite time of year and life’s recent shenanigans!

In this episode I’m joined by my friend and colleague, Elise, to spill the sweat on our recent Hyrox experiences. Having both done Hyrox before and trained well beforehand, we weren’t going in completely blind, but were we fully prepared to up our game with the new challenges we’d set ourselves? Listen along as we compare notes, swap war stories, and relive the highs, lows, and “why did we sign up for this?” moments.

Expect laughs, a little drama, and some honest opinions of other Hyroxers - if you know, you know!

Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the women who shape our lives in countless ways but it can also bring a mix of emotions for many people. Join my good friend Lauren and I as we talk about all things Mother’s Day: from the funny and familiar habits mums have, to the deeper realities of modern motherhood.

We share some of the classic things mums say and do, reflect on the pressures and expectations placed on mothers and explore why this day can feel joyful for some and complicated for others.

Whether you’re celebrating your mum, navigating motherhood yourself, or simply reflecting on the role mothers and caregivers play in our lives, this episode is a light-hearted but thoughtful conversation about appreciation, love, and the many shapes motherhood can take.

'You’re always on holiday' is one thing my friends and family in the UK say to me frequently! And yes, I am very fortunate that I am able to travel multiple times a year. Yes, living in a hot, sunny place does make life feel a little easier, BUT, expat life still involves a full-time job, lots of adulting and life admin. The holiday blues may look different, but they are definitely there! 

More rouge and far less deep than the last few episodes, this week I’m talking about my recent road trip with the girls, the back to work struggle and a few random life updates. So if your brain’s in overload and you’re finding it hard to unwind, this week is an easy listen - think of it as my own reality show without the visuals (which is probably just as well!)

*Disclaimer: Grumpy Lou appears in this episode with some light swearing*

Forget Valentine’s Day, this episode is dedicated to the female friends who continue to show unconditional love, respect and support for us no matter what, whilst setting an unmatched standard for any man who dares to come close. Nobody can compete with my besties and that’s just the way it is!

SINGLE QUEEEEEEENS, it’s Galentine’s Day and time to celebrate us! Grab a drink, sit in your Bridget Jones pants and join me in ugly crying over how bloody amazing our girlfriends are and how perfect the world would be if boys just weren’t in it! 

Share the love and share this episode with the girls you just couldn’t live without. You can also follow, like and comment on Instagram and Threads @female.farang.unfiltered

My most personal episode yet and I’ve not really spared any details! Three decades of symptoms and suddenly a big life decision to freeze my eggs resulted in a PCOS diagnosis and ovarian cyst. Join me as I speak openly about my childhood symptoms, teenage hormones and adulthood challenges that all made sense after one consultation with a fertility doctor. If you’re living with Polycystic Ovaries, considering fertility treatment, or are just interested in hearing my story, this episode is for you. I’m hopeful that this episode in particular resonates with women who have had similar experiences and would love to hear from you. No need to share your story but I would really appreciate a like, share and follow. Please also feel free to get in touch if you have any questions, I’m no expert but would be more than happy to engage in further conversations about this area of women’s health that is so overlooked.

From a stolen phone to a horrific hotel, this episode dives into the dramas, disappointments, and full-on disasters of a trip to Vietnam with my dad. What was supposed to be a meaningful adventure turns into a chaotic mix of shattered expectations, travel mishaps, and lessons about patience, culture, and letting go of the perfect plan. Equal parts funny, frustrating, and honest, this episode unpacks all the madness with a little sprinkle of joy! If you’ve ever had a trip go wildly off-script, this one’s for you.

We want to hear from you! Please share your ‘holiday from hell’ stories with us!
