  • Are you really ‘fine’? Estelle Bingham on healing your inner child

    How are you… really? Do you say ‘I’m fine’ - when you’re not? 


    This week we’re joined by holistic therapist and fourth-generation psychic, Estelle Bingham, who believes that ‘fine’ might just be a cover story. From the very beginning, we went deep… talking about trusting the universe, finding more joy in the everyday, and what it means to reconnect with your inner child.


    This conversation surprised us. It got emotional, it went to places we didn’t expect, and there was even a bit of a role reversal between Em and Al… Estelle opened up something in us, and we have a feeling she might do the same for you.

  • Just Us: Taylor Swift, Victoria Beckham and the suffering of being a woman

    In the time since we last recorded a Just Us - Taylor Swift has released a new album. So today, our resident semi-swiftie (Em) guides our non-swiftie (Al) through The Life of a Showgirl and we discuss the noise and critique surrounding the album. 


    Victoria Beckham has also released a Netflix documentary - we discuss the term ‘too posh to push’ which was popularised in 1999 when she gave birth to her son Brooklyn by c-section. Why do women equate parenthood with suffering - and do men feel the same?

  • Comedy, autism, and the power of being different... with George Lewis

    You might know George Lewis for his hilarious parenting sketches - the chaos, the tantrums, and our collective Bluey obsession... but lately he has been opening up about something much more personal.


    George has three children - his eldest has an autism diagnosis, and his younger two are currently being assessed. We spoke about how his view of autism has completely changed, the exhausting fight parents face for diagnosis, and the damage caused by Donald Trump’s baseless claims about paracetamol and autism.

    There are very few tickets remaining for George’s stand-up tour ‘The Best Thing You’ll Ever Do’. Visit georgelewiscomedian.com to buy tickets! You’ll need to be quick!

  • Just Us: Unsolicited parenting opinions, frightening US politics and cautionary hooliganism

    Today we find out that Em’s cycling era might be over… we know you’re all as hooked on this new passion as Alex! We get a small insight into Alex’s clubbing days and we also discuss the internet’s entitlement to give unsolicited parenting advice.


    We also discuss Donald Trump’s comments about autism and pregnancy, why Em is feeling slightly more hopeful about our political landscape here in the UK, and why some echo chambers are worth cultivating.

  • “I brace myself for sexism, misogyny and racism” - Eni Aluko on being a female football pundit

    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)

  • Just Us: Accidental nudity, Emma Watson and the cult of matcha

    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?

  • One false allegation destroyed my career... with Jess Thorpe

    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.

  • Just Us: WhatsApp overwhelm, kids on planes and bringing more joy into our lives…

    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.

  • How to get over a breakup… with Toni Tone

    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!
