Good Sheilas

This episode was recorded before we got Covid and marks the LAST episode for SEASON TWO! We barely remember what we said as we upload this because our brains are addled mushy tomatoes. What we DO remember is that we unpack on the Sex and the City reboot and whether it could AND should have been a better show (we disagree here, SURPRISE SURPRISE). We then talk about belonging and family after the most fractitious, tricky time of the year and how it feels to fit in- or not. Strap yourslves in!

This week we navigate Taylor Swift's re-recording of Red and how All Too Well has got us all in the heart - but what does it say about Taylor's attachment style, and how women navigate relationships with men generally? Attachment styles are big right now as we collectively take long, hard looks at ourselves after months of lockdown - what is an attachment style, how are they formed, and WHAT ARE WE? Strap yourselves in!

We're BACK team- out of quarantine and into the world! We talk about the physiology of heartbreak and the science behind it (also, nervous poos). We then unpack the Bachelorette- the new season features Brooke Blurston, a proud Noongar-Yamatji woman who is bisexual and bringing diversity to the white-washed franchise. Does it rescue the series? Should we watch? Or is it still a broken quagmire of misogyny? We UNPACK. Finally we talk about seeing the bits of ourselves in our kids that we do not like and what that feels like - and maybe we have some deep breakthroughs of our own. Strap yourselves in!

We’ve had a big few weeks and so has Australia and we’re here to UNPACK: Gladys is gone, and why do we care about a bloke named Daryl from Wagga and his place in all of it? As a nation, we care about FOOTY and FOOTY is important: why is it more important than everything else in the midst of a devastating pandemic when we’re trying to get vaccination rates high enough so that shitloads of people aren’t at risk? Finally, we talk about having a broken heart: Claire has had her poor old heart kicked in the proverbial dick and she unpacks what has helped the anguish over the last couple weeks. Strap yourselves in!

We're back! We're here! And we're a bit cross at our youth broadcaster Triple J who rubbed it in that we're not allowed to listen, and at the same time put a spotlight on the lack of diversity in both what they play and who they employ! We also talk about the impact of Covid on our kids, as well as the hover of weight in our lives after a recent article unpacked how fixated women remain on dieting and weight gain well into their twilight years. Strap yourselves in!

Hi sheilas! This week we talk drinking - what are we doing in our perpetually locked-down country, what's healthy, and how do we approach the bottle? We also talk about coping mechanisms- how do we both react to when stuff gets tough, and how does it impact our personal relationships? Strap yourselves in!

This week we talk Bezos, Musk and all the other billionaires catapulting themselves into space while the rest of the world burns. What do they owe us with their remarkable wealth, and is their commercial space race for the greater good? We touch on male paternalism with the AOC's run in with Premier Palaszczuk's, before unpacking why the heck we're so dreadful at asking for help but bend over ourseles to give it. Strap yourselves in!

This week on Good Sheilas we've had a couple of drinks and we're feeling fiery. We talk shit blokes in footy and a media that adores them, why blokes talk about each other's dicks to put each other down, and how toxic and unproductive this form of masculinity is. Finally we unpack the things we accept in womanhood- from infrastructure that's not meant for us to medicine that doesn't consider our bodies. Strap yourselves in!

This week on Good Sheilas we unpack a universe that heard free Britney and freed Bill Cosby instead. We talk about the science behind female friendship- it makes us better, stronger, and probably wizards (last bit not backed by research). Finally, we discuss birth control and the rubbish times we've both had on it- why is it still so shit? Strap yourselves in!

This week we talk about Chrissy Teigen's enormous fall from grace, and whether you should ever be able to claw back your reputation as a celebrity from being a bully. We also discuss when your brain and body is yelling at you to take a break, and why we can't hear it- and share our own stories of what happens when we stop listening. Strap yourselves in!
