We have a Lioness in the studio! 

Today - we’re joined by Eni Aluko. Eni is a broadcaster, football executive and former professional football player who has represented England on the world stage and at the Olympics. She’s also a qualified lawyer - there’s nothing this woman can’t do. 

Since retiring from professional football - she has become one of the country’s most recognisable football pundits. As a former international player, with a lifelong passion for football - Eni is more qualified than anyone for this role - however, the culture of racism and sexism around football has made it an toxic environment for her. 

We spoke to Eni about the reality of misogyny, racism in football, how she has dealt with the online abuse she is subjected to and how we can move forward to make football a better (or at least more tolerable environment for women)

Hello, hello, hello! 

This week we’ve got two surprisingly similar awkwards… apologies to anyone who has been in the vicinity of either Em or Alex’s windows over the last week. 

We also discuss JK Rowling’s comments following Emma Watson’s appearance on Jay Shetty’s podcast. Do the Harry Potter actors have a responsibility to publicly speak out against her comments - and what is the effect of JK Rowling vehemently doubling down on her anti-trans views? 

And we take a moment to discuss a very serious question - is everyone pretending to like matcha?

Jess was an NHS nurse working on a mental health ward when a false accusation was made against her, which led into a spiral of bureaucracy that ended her nursing career and changed her life forever… 

Although Jess very rarely does interviews - her story was highly publicised in the UK press, so we wanted to give her the opportunity to tell her story in full and in her own words.

We spoke to Jess about the fragility of women’s reputations, the pressures on nurses and healthcare professionals and how we can both love the NHS but also hold it accountable on the occasions that it does let us down.

Yassou! Al’s back from Cyprus and she’s had a digital detox… but meanwhile Em has 1622 unread WhatsApp messages on her phone. We try to find a way to streamline our personal and work lives - surely we’re not the only people who are completely overwhelmed by our phones? 

We also discuss our experience of taking kids onto flights - and how people react differently to mothers and fathers when they’re holding a screaming child. 

And - we bring you our much-promised chat about exercise, motherhood and finding space to prioritise yourself.

It’s time for a conversation with the internet’s big sister… the writer, speaker and content creator Toni Tone. 

We spoke to Toni about the complexities of modern relationships and heartbreak. Are all relationships transactional? Why do we seem to be shifting towards traditional values in relationships? And why does Toni think it’s so important to be selfish in our relationships? 

Toni’s new book No Fucks Given is out this week - it’s a no accountability guide to navigating a break up. You can get your copy here!

This week - we have a much-needed dose of nonsense for you. We’re actually a little bit giddy. 

Em shares the story of a bizarre encounter with an estate agent and Al has found a new so-called ‘life hack’ to help you keep your house tidy. 

We also bring you the long awaited Should I Delete That Mug Off. We’ve each bought in our favourite mug, spoon and fork - so we can find out once and for all who has the most elite crockery choices. Does it work in audio only? Questionable. Head to our Instagram to see our choices for yourself.

Today’s episode is all about finding your purpose and redefining your identity. 

Heather Fisher - aka Fish - is a retired England rugby player. She was part of two Women’s Rugby World Cup teams, she represented Team GB at the 2016 Rio Olympics and if that’s not enough she also represented Team GB in bobsleigh! 

This woman has had an incredible sporting career - but she has also faced and overcome numerous challenges which made her question her identity and purpose. After overcoming an eating disorder at a young age, Fish broke her back and subsequently lost her hair due to alopecia. 

We spoke about what drives her to overcome life’s challenges, how she has found her feet after retiring and how she finds the balance of being a strong role model, but also accepting her vulnerability.

Over the past couple of weeks - we’ve found ourselves in some very noisy places online. So, we’re using today to share some of out thoughts and reflecting on what they mean for society as a whole...

First up - we’re talking about Reform and why Em has decided to start speaking about politics online. Then - we'll be discussing the impact of Serena Williams choosing to advertise GLP-1s for weight loss.

It feels like a heavy time for humanity at the moment - if you have something you’d like to add to our conversation or if you can share some hope… email us on [email protected]

Do you find it impossible to stop scrolling? Do you struggle to get motivation? Do you need to listen to a podcast to fall asleep? Today’s guest is here to help you re-balance your brain chemistry...

TJ Power is a neuroscientist and founder of The DOSE Lab - who has made it his mission to explain how our brains work and help us tobreak our addiction to dopamine. 

TJ explained how our brains work and gave us real practical advice on how we can re-balance our brain chemistry to live a happier, less anxious life. And boy… did we have a lot of questions to ask him - we basically used this as a personal therapy session.

Today, we’re reflecting on this week's episode in which we interviewed OnlyFans creator Lily Phillips, who is best known for sleeping with 101 men in a day. 

The episode had a huge response - so we’ve decided to take some time today to address some of the comments we received when it was released on Monday. 

If you haven't heard the episode yet - you can find it here

Were we right to give Lily a platform? Did we question her hard enough? Are women who interview Lily held to a higher standard than men who interview her? We have a lot of thoughts - and we don’t know all the right answers. But we hope this chat helps illuminate you on our thought process behind the interview - and why we believe it’s important to have these conversations in a kind, safe space. 

We love you guys for listening - if you have something else you’d like to add - we’d love to hear from you. You can email us on [email protected]
