Have you ever had an airline literally lose your legs? ✈️👩‍🦽 

This week, Zara and Faith are diving into the unglamorous, frustrating, and downright chaotic reality of traveling with a disability and hair loss. 

From British Airways leaving a full-time wheelchair at Heathrow on a 13-hour flight to Japan, to the sheer audacity of airport staff telling a passenger to "use the stairs," we’re calling out the lack of common sense, care, and basic accessibility in 2026. 

We also chat about the anxiety of traveling with hair loss, dealing with intense stares at Spanish resort buffets, the awkwardness of old passport photos with wigs, and why we’ve officially entered our "stare back" and "pose for photos" era.

"If you want a healthy lifestyle, you need to learn how to live in it—not just jump on a trend drug." 

This week on Sit Down With Us, Faith and Zara take on the toxic return of the "thigh gap" era and the rise of Ozempic trends. We talk about the pressure to be skin and bones, fake fitness narratives online, and why the number on the scale doesn't define your strength or fitness. 

With the summer months here, we also reveal the raw, funny, and essential tips we use to stay confident and comfortable abroad. 

Finally, we rank the best and worst destinations we've ever travelled to for accessibility, comparing the flawless train systems of Tokyo to the broken lifts of the London Underground.

"We are 27, not 75—but we are so glad we aren't growing up in today's generation." 

This week on Sit Down With Us, Faith and Zara tackle the emotional weight of missing out. 

Faith opens up about the deep childhood alopecia anxiety that kept her out of a stylist's chair for 13 years; while, Zara shares the unique challenges of navigating style trends as a wheelchair user.

With prom season in full swing, the girls look back at the intense peer pressure they felt to look perfect while managing physical differences and the blunt truth of being left off the guest list for the official after-prom party. Finally, they debate the political move to ban under-16s from social media networks, exploring how short-form content actively rewires children's attention spans.

"You can't judge someone’s highlight reel because you don’t know the struggle it took to make it." 

This week, Faith and Zara are giving social media culture a massive reality check. They also take aim at toxic productivity "gurus," calling out that viral Stephen Bartlett clip claiming a single glass of wine "ruined three days of his life."

Finally, the girls get completely transparent about their own private lives. Faith opens up about burnout and why she recently wore her wig to the cinema just to escape public staring and blend in, while Zara breaks down the illusion of constant confidence.

 "Society, more often than not, makes me feel more disabled than my actual disability does." 

In this episode, Zara and Faith are breaking down the highs and lows of navigating live music in 2026. First up, they are giving a massive, well-deserved shoutout to Manchester’s Co-op Live arena. But it’s not all standing ovations. The girls dive into the absolute chaos of buying accessible tickets, only to find a complete lack of system support for disabled fans. 

Plus, Zara shares the shocking, blunt rejection she faced where customer service told her: "It’s in the middle of a field, so unfortunately we can't accommodate." Faith also takes a trip down memory lane, exposing her chaotic 18-year-old festival work experiences, an Uber nightmare, and what it’s really like working behind the bar at major festivals.

 If the entrance of a club was broken and no one could get in, you’d close the establishment. But because it’s a ramp, it’s a side issue. 

Summer is officially here, the colleges and unis are breaking up, and the bars are packed! But as the nightlife heats up, Zara and Faith are sitting down to talk about what going out on the town actually looks like when you have a physical disability or a visible difference.

In this episode, we are diving deep into the complete lack of logic behind "accessible" nightclub toilets, the sheer audacity of drunk strangers who think it’s okay to touch a bald woman's head without consent, and the shocking moment a popular club on Canal Street refused entry because their ramp had been broken for weeks. 

Grab a drink, pack your human decency, and let's get into it!

Have you ever been told to "just think positively", "stop stressing", or "have you tried yoga?"

In this episode of Sit Down With Us, Faith and Zara discuss the comments, advice, and so-called "helpful" suggestions they've received while living with alopecia and disability.

From miracle cures and herbal remedies to toxic positivity and assumptions about wanting to be "fixed", we explore why these comments can be frustrating, hurtful, and sometimes completely miss the point.

We also discuss:

•  Why unsolicited advice isn't always helpful 
•  The reality of chronic fatigue 
•  Comments people make about appearance 
•  Assumptions about disability and difference 
•  Why not everyone wants a cure 
•  Better ways to support someone going through a difficult time 

If you've ever been on the receiving end of comments that left you speechless, this episode is for you.

Have you ever given a compliment that completely backfired? 

Or wondered what you "should" say when asking about someone's visible difference? 

In today’s episode, we sit down to unpack the everyday phrases, questions, and "well-meaning" comments that actually carry incredibly heavy emotional weight. 

From being called "brave" just for buying a latte, to the deeply frustrating "at least it's not cancer," we’re clearing the air on what it's really like navigating the world with alopecia and a physical disability. 

There's no official rulebook, but our golden rule is simple: read the room, and let the other person lead.

From the highest peaks of fashion to major media slip-ups, we are looking at the state of representation right now.

In this episode, Zara and Faith break down the massive historic shift at the 2026 Met Gala. From fully accessible layouts to the incredible Sinead Burke and Aariana Rose Philip taking over the carpet. But it wasn’t all wins. 

We are diving deep into why Germany’s Next Top Model completely missed the mark with a highly controversial bald cap runway challenge, and why Faith feels it was a total cop-out.

Plus, we address the viral backlash surrounding Louise Thompson and Ryan Libbey’s He Said She Said podcast comments about parenting statistics, why it deeply triggered the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) community.

Finally, we wrap up with some beautiful insights from International Face Equality Week and give you a sneak peek into our upcoming episode on language and disability terminology.

Is "Reality TV" ever actually real? 📺

This week, Zara and Faith are diving into the addictive, dramatic, and often scripted world of reality television.

We’re sharing the behind-the-scenes stories we’ve never told before, including why Faith turned down Britain’s Got Talent after they asked her to use her alopecia as a "sob story," and why Zara declined an offer for Married at First Sight.

We also tackle the "dating rejection" that left us with our jaws on the floor, the 3 AM thoughts about the Love Island villa’s accessibility, and why we’re still waiting for a bald woman to walk into the villa.
