  • Moanvember and the Rise of the Paw-rents

    In this week's episode, there are no tips and tricks or research. Welcome to 'Moanvember'.


    Winter is here (ugh). The clocks have gone back and we have gained an hour in bed but we are still automatically waking up at 6.30AM, so instead of thinking that you will have more energy it actually feels more exhausting. It's kind of a scam which makes us consider what else is a scam.


    We also look at the rise of paw-rents: since the pandemic people have gone super nuts for dogs.


    We love dogs but has it gone to another level now? They are being treated like humans from clothes, to haircuts, to daycare for dogs. Where do we draw the line?


    As usual, we have the ups of our wins and, of course, the downs of our not wins. And our Song of the Week: Sara's choice this time.


    So tune in, get ready to question everything, and maybe even second-guess those sneaky scams we all get caught up in at times.


    Enjoy and thanks for listening. We appreciate your support!

  • Deliberate Disengagement

    We are constantly checking in; connected to our phones, laptops and to the relationships in our lives. While we use our devices for planning and problem solving, being on them too much takes a toll. It's hard to imagine a day that we could actually take a step back from the connectiveness that has become the normal way we live in the world today.


    Is it even possible to disconnected from it all? We are not talking about doing a disappearing act or moving to the woods, but we are starting to think that it is important to take a step back every once and a while. This isn't as easy and it sounds as we don't want to feel we are missing out either: a modern day dilemma. What's a girl to do?


    As usual, we have the ups of our wins and, of course, the downs of our not wins. And our Song of the Week: Carol's choice this week.


    So put your phone on silent (or maybe just vibrate) and get ready for an episode that may even inspire you to take that much needed break. It's time to disconnect to reconnect!!!

  • Halloween Episode: Historic and Contemporary Witches and Vampires

    Tuesday is Halloween, so we bring you our Spooktacular episode a few days earlier than normal this week!


    We chat about witches of old to modern day witches and vampires. They don’t necessarily wear hats /green make up or want to suck your blood.


    We also reminisce about our childhood experiences of Halloween. They were so different; from 'I Dream of Genie' costumes to getting pelted with

    eggs while wearing garbage bags.


    As usual, we have the ups of our wins and, of course, the downs of our not wins. And our Song of the Week: Sara's Halloween themed choice this time!


    Grab your broomsticks and cast a spell of laughter with us this week.

  • The Highs and Lows of Enthusiasm

    In this week's episode, we delve into the exciting topic of enthusiasm and explore the highs and lows that come with it.


    We'll be discussing those moments when being too much of a good thing can sometimes just be too much.


    It was such an exciting episode that we were both exhausted by the end of it! And Carol took an all day nap!


    Join us as we chat and share our own stories, some great quotes, and tips for finding the right balance regarding enthusiasm (thanks to Sara, our research nerd). Whether you're an eternal optimist or someone who struggles with managing their enthusiasm, this episode is sure to provide valuable insights (it did for us).


    We have the all the joys of our wins and, of course, the not wins: we chat all things weather related, teenage swerving at discos, car dramas, and rain rage.


    Special mention to the people of Middleton and East Cork effected by storm Babette .


    Song of the Week: Carol's choice this time; the fabliss Beyoncé .

  • Cuddle Therapy and The Mental Load

    On this week's episode, the topic of getting more cuddles has tumbled it's way back into the show. Sara's sister, Tami, suggested that we could get a cuddle from a professional. Yes there are peeps that train to become cuddle therapists, as in they lie down with and cuddle you for a fee. We wonder how would that go down here; would we consider going for one, are there cuddle therapists in Cork, what would it be like if Carol were a cuddle therapist?


    Sara and Carol also chat about the mental loads that we all carry. Can the scales be balanced to a 50/50 spilt? We don't think so!


    Also we discuss Carol's newest theory: not taking the snot (the snot being when someone gets snotty with you for no valid reason). Well, Carol got the snot last week and politely handed it right back to giver of said snot and she felt great afterwards.


    We have the all the joys of our wins and, of course, the not wins (Sara's favorite section and Carol becomes moan manager again).


    Lastly we can't forget the song of the week. It is building in to a great playlist over on Spotify, thanks to all of the fabulous contributions from you, our listeners.


    Enjoy and thanks for listening.

  • Struggles and Cuddles of Support

    On this week's show we are talking about the struggles we face every day and those that can change our lives at times.


    Don't worry, we're not here to bring you down. We'll be sharing our thoughts on how we get through these times. The importance of knowing who is there to push in behind and lift you up during the times you can't manage it yourself.


    We also discuss the importance of getting a cuddle; not necessarily a hug or a pat on the back, but through a simple action of support that can be given in many ways that make us feel that little bit better.


    So sit back, and tune to a lovely, cuddly episode.


    Our song of the week comes from Carol: it's a song that gives her the total feels and she gets all 'emosh' talking about it.


    Enjoy and thanks for listening.

  • The Pandemic Skip and Camel Mode.

    On this week's episode, Carol is missing the pandemic. Obviously not the doom and gloom part of it, but the slower pace of life it gave to us and now she wants a mini pandemic break again. Sara suggests a vacation but it's not same, really...


    We get into discussion about the pandemic skip and try to make sense of it all, like many other people are doing, even on TikTok.


    Sara introduces us to camel mode and contemplates whether or not she is still in it at moment when it comes to being a parent. Carol has a revelation after learning about camel mode.


    We also have wins /not wins: Sara's not win is gas craic and all mothers can relate to it.


    Song of the week comes from Sara as she was inspired while listening to a Classic Hip Hop mix on Spotify.


    Enjoy and thanks for listening.

  • Sexiness …There's More to it Than a Look !!

    In this week's episode, we dive into the topic of aging and whether we become invisible as we get older.


    We explore the idea of losing our sexiness as we age and whether or not it's possible to get it back. Is it all downhill from here or is there hope for us foxy ladies?


    Join Carol, Sara, and Jan, our voice note gal from last week, for a chat that will have you laughing and feeling confidently sexy no matter what age you are.


    We also share our wins and not wins. Jan gets to choose the song of the week while Carol reminisces about a listener's song choice, "Dreams" by Gabriel (she was convinced back in the day the song was written for her).


    Enjoy and thanks for listening!

  • Catfishing on the Instagrams

    Welcome to Season 2 everyone !!


    On this week's episode, we're diving into the world of catfishing. We've all heard the stories of people pretending to be someone they're not online, but have you ever been catfished yourself?


    Well, we have a wild story about a guy, Antoine from France, a ruby player and a Colombian actor who lives in New York (the drama ) .


    Also Alex, the sexy voice note guy, and Jan, the Like You Like Me voice note gal. Who's voice is sexier!?!?!?


    We'll share our win/not wins and, of course, the song of the week.


    It's a busy buzzy episode, so tune in, have a laugh, and share your own online adventures with us.
