Today's episode is brought to you by Stevie, Tessa and the amazing Fi - a 'spacecraft thermal engineer'(!), podcast listener, and Excel champion, who offers her exceptional talents and guidance to two gals terrified of spreadsheets. A beginner's guide to Excel for the chronically afraid. A genuinely helpful episode (we think).

Wanting to take the plunge? Stevie went freelance and Tessa’s never technically been employed - they look at the pitfalls and difficulties of being your own boss, as well as how you can make the transition from PAYE as pain free as possible (get an accountant).

Stevie got a massage and loved it. Tessa gets them all the time for her stressed body. Together they offer advice if you’re thinking about going for the first time and, quite frankly, get far too worried about how to tell if your masseuse is going to give you a “happy ending” or not.

Stevie brings a lot to the (bedside) table in today's existential crisis/light-hearted advice podcast. What is a bedside table? Is yours three apple crates stacked precariously on top of each other, too shallow to hold a book, and too narrow to balance a lamp? This is the podcast for you.

Tessa flies solo with 2/3 of the brilliant Birthday Girls, Beattie Edmondson and Rose Johnson! Tessa, unsupervised, forgets most of the things she’s supposed to do during a live episode and she and Rose give a good go at sorting Beattie’s life out. It’s a nice one.

As it’s nearly Valentine’s Day, here’s one for the new lovers. Stevie and Tessa navigate the absolute minefield of the Hard Launch. Who meets them first? Should you throw a Partner Reveal Party? What if nobody gets on? What if you must endure the agony of being perceived through the eyes of another? Starts off light, then Tessa has an emotional melt down.

Stevie and Tessa are joined by improviser and actor Lola-Rose Maxwell who has just bought via shared ownership. Stevie is interested in the possibility and so asks a lot of questions. There is a quiz involving Ryan Gosling that reveals a lot about Tessa's motivations. A lot of helpful advice in this episode for anyone wondering if shared ownership is for them.

Lola's improv show 'The Improvised Play' will be at The Arcola Theatre, London from 5-9 March 2024. For tickets and information head to arcolatheatre.com.

Quite an emotional roller-coaster this one. Couple of handy tips about improving the efficiency of an app quickly become an existential lament for the loss of analog in the digital age. Tessa can't grasp how to use bullet points, Stevie cries about her notebook, we learn almost nothing, an absolute classic Nobody Panic episode.
