Nobody Panic

Stevie and Tessa are joined by the amazing Alice Vincent, author of: 'Why Women Grow: Stories of soil, sisterhood and survival', to talk about all things growing. One expert and two people who have one massive cactus and one fake Gerbera between them, get right down to the roots of why we grow, and weed out the myths about gardening when you've only got a tiny window box to work with. A lovely, lovely episode.

Inspired by a listener suggestion, Stevie and Tessa deep dive into the murky minefield of talking to your teenager about sex. AND WHAT A MINEFIELD IT IS. Obviously they haven't got teenagers, but they have been teenagers, and they have a couple of ideas.

Stevie and Tessa talk to Cariad Lloyd, Griefcast host and author of You Are Not Alone, about how to talk to a grieving friend. Do you send them lasagne? How often should you check in on them? What do you SAY? Covering the entire emotional gamut, Cariad gives excellent advice and is very balanced, Tessa cries throughout the entirety of the recording and Stevie remains a numbed husk.

Tessa and Stevie help a listener out with a quandary: how to get out of a first-date-only rut. But can anyone ever guarantee a second date? (No). And should you trick people into dating you a second time? (Also no). Thankfully there are some simple ways you can up your dating game (spoiler: it’s all about working on yourself, rather than the other person).

Can you ever have a dry bath? What is a “bath of the mind”? Why is it that Stevie hates them so much and can she overcome it? Tessa (bath aficionado and creator of the Half Bath) talks Stevie through bath etiquette and, as ever, discovers her aversion isn’t about the bath. It’s about her soul. Warning this gets quite deep (like a bath).

Stevie and Tessa (neither of them godparents, but strongly believe they could be) deep dive into the Dos and Don'ts.

Tessa recently had to think on her feet and nearly froze. She goes through her thought processes with Stevie and they both work out the best way to prevent yourself from covering your face in your hands while screaming I DON'T KNOW IM STUPID IN SORRY. Which often doesn’t work in meetings.
