As a young woman, Georgie faced cancer twice. Her body changed before her eyes, as she was faced with the battle for her life all while being congratulated for her thinness (we know, we’re rolling our eyes too). Diet culture and health intersect in Georgie’s story as she shares the lessons she learned from her fight with cancer, including the ebbs and flows of a body and a purpose BEYOND just losing and gaining weight - while also admitting, it’s not always been so easy. We also discuss the great lack of information around menopause, especially for younger women who have no idea what to expect and how to prepare for what’s to come.

For Jemma’s 15th birthday we took a trip to the not-so-sunny LA, to explore, go to disneyland, and pop into the podcast studio! What was meant to be a quick little segment with Jemma, ended up a podcast where we discussed our time down there, the stuff that freaks us out (like bluetooth….!??!) and Alicia and I are reminded that we’re just ok in the eyes of a Gen Z kid. Jemma brings her dry humour and wit to the microphone today, as we brace ourselves for it all.

A year and a half into marriage, Gabrielle found out her husband had been having an affair with a nineteen-year-old for six months. She then filed for divorce and left. Two weeks later met a man, and fell madly in love. This fairy-tale romance lasted for a month and a half before he convinced Gabrielle to join him on a month long vacation in Italy. But 48 hours before, he told her he needed to go alone.
