The Normal Effect episodes

  • Couple's Special

    In this episode, Marlie and Lee have invited their partners on to talk about Happy, Sad, Embarrassing and Normal times within a relationship (that you go through together). In typical couple fashion, there's moments of shared care and moments of disagreeing :-). We hope you enjoy this final episode of the series.

    (Sorry about the constant hum in the background. There was some work going on outside).

  • Georgina
    Both Marlie and I work with George and she is one of those people that can lighten your day.....with something hilarious coming out of her mouth. In this episode, we get that in many ways (especially in talking about sex), but we also get heart-wrenching seriousness in spades. Her openness was admirable and I really hope people can relate.

  • Jen
    What a blast this was! Jen is a very charismatic character, which you'll hear from the get-go, but this episode really goes from high energy to serious energy when it needs to. A fascinatingly wonderful woman and we hope you enjoy hearing her as much as we enjoyed recording with her.

  • Our Very Own....Marlie!!

    If you're in touch with your emotions, you may want to grab a tissue as our very own Marlie sits in the hot seat this week and talks very openly about her life and the struggles that came with growing up. Of course, we go into other silly topics - even talking about bogeys......nothing but maturity here folks!We also welcome Marlie's partner and Lee's Brother (same person!) as our 'Ghost Host' and within minutes, you get to see what their relationship is like.Enjoy!

  • Elaine

    The ever-popular delight that is Elaine ('The Pain') comes in to talk about times in her life that have been very up and very down. Here, we talk about the value of having a close family, the sadness of loss, and the funniness of being caught in a lift with someone you've just embarrassed yourself in front of.

  • Luke (Brunnie)
    Through talking about his 'Happy', 'Sad', 'Embarrassing' and 'Normal' times, Brunnie shows us what we're capable of when life gets really tough. Self-reflection really comes through in this episode and we think it's a great listen - especially if you're a young man struggling.

  • Trailer

  • IIRWTA - The Drama Triangle

    After our catch-up, we decide to look at a theory that is used in Counselling sometimes known as The Drama Triangle. This looks at dysfunctional social interactions and illustrates a power game that involves three roles....three roles that we can all fall in to easily sometimes. Having an awareness of these roles and our part in them helps us hopefully create better outcomes.

    We hope you enjoy this episode.

  • IIRWTA - ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

    WE MADE IT TO ONE YEAR!! We are so happy to have made it this far and with this episode we talk about our last year and what we hope for the year ahead.

    As always, we chat seriously with the odd bit of nonsense and laughter thrown in for good measure.

    Thank you to those who have listened and continue to listen. Hopefully, we can continue to grow, so don't be afraid to pass on our episodes.

    Enjoy.
