It’s an emotional one this week, as Monty shares a beautiful clip from author Maggie Dent that made her think about the shit we get hung up on with our kids - and how much does it really matter? We also chat about the privilege and punish of parenting teens, navigating different communication styles and Mel shares a ‘method’ that could improve the way we share with one another. Enjoy!

This week, we enter Mariah’s world and discuss a recent statement that is high on the whacky scale… but Mel also thinks is a bit genius. We also chat about the prediction of a natural disaster that has people changing their travel plans… and just how scary travel can be in general. There’s also our fab fact of the week, Monts reads near death experience sent in from a beautiful listener named Chloe, and lots more. Enjoy!

We do a check in to see what the update with Brooke getting a Stem Cell Transplant is and Monty went to a pain rehab!

We also chat about how we talk to our kids about chronic illness and Brooke has a cracking tip that might make it a little less scary for our kids.

This week, Monty fills us in on Big Brother's return to our TV screens, and we ponder whether it'll take off - and have a giggle over an unforgettable moment from the show's past. Mel shares her love for singer Lola Young's body confidence... but why it also makes her feel like a hypocrite. 

There's also a bit of phone booth nostalgia, Mel's random fact, a goosebump-inducing vocal from a beloved Beach Boy, and Monty asks... is it ok to sniff a stranger's baby? Enjoy!

This week, Monty gives Mel's fact of the week a big thumbs-down, then tells us about the frustrating task of explaining death to her four-year-old. Mel shares details from a podcast about near-death experiences that blew our tiny minds in the best kind of way, and we hope it does the same for you if you're missing someone you love. ❤️ Enjoy. x

Comparing illnesses is always a bad idea! Monty usually feels like her illness is on a different scale to Brooke's and it often makes her feel guilty. There are so many layers of guilt with chronic illness and  comparing is one of them.

We also get an update on Brooke's situation around Stem Cell Transplant Therapy.

This was an emotional one.
