Winging It

This week on Winging It, Chris and Lisa share the story of what happened when a toddler’s artwork accidentally ended up in the bin. It leads to a real and funny chat about parenting guilt, money worries, and the pressure to always look like you’ve got it together.

They also take on a Secret Santa dilemma, talk honestly about family expectations, and lighten things up with riddles and dad jokes. It’s honest, chaotic, and completely relatable for anyone just trying to make it through family life without losing their mind.

Listen, laugh, and remember that nobody’s got it figured out we’re all just winging it.

We didn’t plan to talk about this one but it’s one of those moments you never forget.

In this episode, we share the full story of our car crash: what happened, how we handled it, and what it taught us about staying calm, laughing through chaos, and learning together as a couple.

You’ll also hear about ADHD, burnout, stress, and how “real life” doesn’t stop for podcasts, kids, or dogs. It’s raw, it’s funny, and it’s everything Winging It is about figuring it out as we go.

Lisa shares her experience of starting antidepressants, why it first made her feel like a failure, and how she’s learning to give herself a break.

It’s real, funny, emotional, and everything you’d expect from us.

Chris and Lisa are back with another very real, very chaotic episode of Winging It. This week, they talk about the dark side of reality TV after a contestant from Married at First Sight received death threats, and how online hate can spiral out of control. Lisa opens up about a rough mental health day, Chris talks about rejection in relationships, and somehow they still end up laughing about the time Lisa tried to put the kettle in the fridge.

It is honest, funny, emotional, and exactly what Winging It is all about – real life, real talk, and a lot of coffee.

Nicole Dyer is 18, creative, kind, and living with Tourette’s Syndrome — but that’s only part of her story. In this raw and refreshingly honest episode, I sit down with Nicole and her brilliantly blunt mum Jodie to talk about life beyond the tics.

We cover everything: what a tic attack really feels like, the misconceptions they face daily, how social media has been both a lifeline and a battleground, and why Nicole refuses to let Tourette’s define her.

From airport security scares to unwanted prayers, whistling birds to online hate, this episode is packed with laughs, jaw-drops, brutal truths, and a powerful bond between mum and daughter. Jodie’s sarcasm is razor-sharp, Nicole’s openness is inspiring, and their relationship is something really special.

If you’ve ever misunderstood Tourette’s — or want to know what true resilience looks like — this one’s for you.

Trigger warning: Includes honest discussions around mental health, self-harm, and bullying.
