August 28, 2023 S4 Ep9: Big, Bald and Beautiful
Ahead of Alopecia Awareness Month, we spoke to the incredible Laura Mathias aka @RelightAlopecia about what it’s like to lose all your hair at 13. After 17 years of wig wearing, Laura slowly started to ditch them and became more and more confident rocking her bald head, despite the judgment she sometimes faces.And we can all learn SO much from Laura’s approach to life, and her passion for pushing herself out of her comfort zone.

August 21, 2023 S4 Ep8: Marriage, Motherhood, and Other “Milestones”
We’re coming up to our 35th birthday’s, and we can’t stop thinking about all the milestones society expects us to hit by this age.

So, Lauren’s coming up to her 35th birthday. The age when everyone tells you your fertility “falls of a cliff”. And after growing up in a world that expects every woman to marry, have babies, and hit all kinds of milestones this birthday is hitting particularly hard. So in this week’s episode we’re talking about all the milestones we’ve felt pressured by, from motherhood to marriage, uni to career success, and money to mortgages. The pressures we put on ourselves can be unbearable, and hopefully this episode brings a bit of comfort to you.

TW: this episode contains references to trauma, mental illness, and infertility.

August 14, 2023 S4 Ep7: Single Life and How to Love it
It's time for us "spinsters" to reclaim and learn to love our singlehood!!!

The pressure we face to be coupled up, and the assumption that your life isn't whole without a partner is INSANITY. So, in this episode we're chatting to author of 'A Single Revolution'. We get into all the best bits of single hood, how we got rid of the shame we felt (and got from others) about our lack of partner, and how to deal with those lonely moments that do creep in. So, if you’re single right now this really is an episode for you, and if you’re in a relationship this will be a really interesting insight into what the world is like for your single friends (and why you need to spot asking if we've found someone yet).

August 07, 2023 S4 Ep6: Barbiemania & Body Image
We had the BEST time seeing Barbie together, but the movie and all the hype around it really got us thinking... what kind of impact did Barbie really have on our body image? And how do we grapple with our love of the film, alongside our issues with Barbie? Plus, we reacted to the controversy surrounding the film, and did a general deep dive into the patriarchy and horses.

August 04, 2023 S4 Ep5: The Lizzo Lawsuit
This isn’t an episode we ever thought we’d make. It’s also one we weren’t sure we would make, because it’s an ongoing legal situation and we can’t speculate about what is and isn’t true. But, the Lizzo lawsuit is all we’ve been able to think about for the last few days. It’s all we’ve seen on our instas, all we’ve seen on our newsfeeds. And the reality is, prior to now, we’ve personally put Lizzo on a pedestal and this is a bit of a wake up call. So, we needed to chat about our feelings around it all, because we know it’s something that’s really hit our community.

July 31, 2023 S4 Ep4: Naked Yoga on OnlyF*ns?!
This week’s guest is the incredible Jessamyn Stanley, who you might remember from the “controversial” Gatorade ad earlier this year or her new naked shoot in Women’s Health!! She’s an inspiration to us all, having carved out a space for other black, fat, queer people the wellness industry. And we had so much fun chatting to her about her journey with yoga, transforming her relationship with movement, and how naked yoga is healing her relationship with her body.

This week we're so excited to be chatting to the hilarious Ash Huish aka Ash's Life Stories about all things body confidence, life online, and what she's putting in the bag of dicks!

Plus there's the invevitable rant about tiny portions at Starbucks (why are they so small?!), we make plans to go to Toby Carvery, and Lauren tells us her thoughts on Time Out bars...
