Back To Me

This week Lisa and Katie somehow cover everything and nothing - the great naming debate, how often you really change your bedsheets, the passport saga Nigel is not happy about, and 12 lads loose in Albufeira. Then we attempt to define the concept of "hot-ugly," a debate that may need its own episode. Come for the tangents, stay for the tangents.

This week we're discussing the only person we know who could manage to injure themselves playing  walking  netball, whether AI boyfriends are the future of relationships (or a complete disaster), the ridiculous things that fall out of our mouths, our latest TV reviews and why we're still not over £17 cocktails. Grab a cuppa (or a £17 cocktail if you're feeling fancy) and come join us....

This week we're discussing Katie's birthday (a surprise for Lisa), recapping Lisa's trip to her daughter's art show and somehow ending up deep in the weeds of perimenopause - as one does. If Brené Brown or Oprah is listening... hi. We see you. Call us.

This week on Back to Me - injuries take centre stage, including Katie’s tumble dryer incident (yes, really). We compare Lisa vs Katie holiday packing styles, dive into our usual Netflix reviews and chats, and take his as a trigger warning before anything involving Nigel. Consider yourselves warned.

This week on Back to Me - two very different weekends. Katie leaned fully into her garden era (plants were purchased, naturally), while Lisa was out living her best life at the BIG DAY OUT. Balance. We also get into the chaos around Pints and Ponytails (  @Thesecretlifeofdads  ) and why their trolls seriously need to get a life. Opinions are shared. Strongly. Expect the usual mix of nonsense, side...

In this episode we cover skiing (none of us are professionals, let’s be clear - definitely not Katie anyway), Lisa’s ongoing book progress (it’s happening…we're excited) and the absolute crime that is ID photos. Katie’s is, without exaggeration, a doozy. Genuinely concerning. Borderline unrecognisable. There’s also the usual chaos, interruptions and at least one moment where we completely forg...

World politics, "the" files and why Lisa absolutely cannot cope with either. Lisa’s latest wellness discovery - an energy therapist - while Katie remains… sceptical. Plus the book update, the current price of gold (for reasons no one fully understands) and Katie’s granny celebrating another birthday.

This week we deep dive into Netflix - from  How to Get to Heaven from Belfast  to  Bridgerton  - because nothing says intellectual growth like period drama and Northern Irish chaos. We absolutely do not discuss the Epstein files because Lisa cannot cope and we value her nervous system. We answer real questions from Lisa’s followers. Katie is forced to answer first. It goes exactly as badly as you’...

Lisa takes us through her contact lens journey, which somehow turns into a full emotional experience. If you wear lenses, you’ll feel seen. If you don’t, you’ll feel smug (Katie). We briefly unpack a local “BinGATE” situation that absolutely does not matter to most of you… but we make it matter anyway. Because that’s talent. We cautiously touch on the Epstein files - lightly, confidently and with...

The Beckhams are having drama, TV is calling and we’re questioning our own “normal” habits… all in one episode. Tune in for laughs, awkward truths and the kind of banter only Back To Me can deliver.

It’s the final episode of Season 2 and we’re officially signing off for Christmas. In this one, we get cosy and do a proper end-of-season catch-up. We chat Christmas films (the good, the questionable and the ones mostly Katie doesn't like), shout out a few local restaurants we love – apologies in advance if you don’t live near us – and reflect on what this season has actually taught us. There’...

This week we’re talking video game weapons of choice. Lisa goes straight for a flame thrower because she thinks it’s very epic, while Katie – a past gamer – knows what's up: the Halo energy sword. We also dip into some sensible territory with the mental load and how to manage Christmas without losing your mind. And finally, Lisa’s Santa inflatable. It does nothing all day, then at 4pm it perks...

This week on Back to Me, we face an important dilemma… which one of us would actually make it on I’m a Celebrity? Lisa? Absolutely not. Katie? As long as she can close her eyes under water. We also dive into Christmas trees. Lisa’s is a perfectly curated, beautiful tree that matches the tone of her room. Katie’s is .. not that. Plus, we chat through our Christmas traditions – the ones we love, the...

Katie is having a lazy day – Lisa, of course, blames the moon. We catch up on each other’s weekends, share some unexpectedly passionate opinions about hoovers and mops and generally question what in the world are we talking about. So yeah… it’s one of those episodes.

This week we dive into the real meanings behind some of the sayings we all use without thinking, and somehow end up talking about celebrity traitors, too. Lisa fills us in on her appearance on  Lorraine  – yes, the actual TV show – and, in the biggest shock of all, she booked a dinner table for  10.30pm . Will she ever recover? Will Katie?

This week we’re talking grammar (exciting!!!), the things that constantly irritate Lisa and a very confusing life coaching segment about what Lisa calls “the emotional tunnel” and Katie absolutely does not understand. There are metaphors that may or may not make sense, patient explanations and absolutely no progress made whatsoever. As ever, we laugh at each other (and ourselves), question everyth...

In this week's episode we dive into the science of swearing and why it might actually make you feel better, whether you want it to or not. We also somehow end up back on Netflix, reborn dolls (again), and a few grammar corrections along the way. And yes, Katie admits Lisa was right about something. It is documented now. Forever. Listen, laugh, and feel slightly smarter by the end. Or at least...

This week on Back to Me we somehow manage to cover grief, Netflix (because when do we not), Katie’s ongoing battle with her boiler and Lisa’s possibly totally rational fear of roads. It’s one of those episodes that starts with chaos, detours through a surprisingly grounded chat about how we handle loss and ends with questionable life choices. We even tried to tie up some loose ends. So pretty norm...

JK Rowling, Jay Shetty, monks, partners, significant others, weddings, 13th, Shakra, moons. It'll all make sense if you listen (possibly)

Episode 3 is pure chaos: we tackle the rapture (light bedtime chat, obviously), Nicole Kidman’s “secret daughter” and the movie that was filmed in Antrim. Oh, and because nothing ever goes smoothly, the camera broke — so enjoy half a picture for half the episode. Classic us. Hit play, laugh along and subscribe for more questionable content.

Katie was horrified by the "Virgin Island" TV show and is now raging at Lisa who is finding this very funny. Add in a deep dive into Sylvia Browne’s bizarre predictions, Lisa’s latest Instagram update and the very serious question of whether “postmenopause” actually exists — and you’ve got another classic Back to Me episode. Expect laughter, chaos and Katie’s blood pressure going up just a...

And we’re kicking it off with a brand new segment: Down Yer' Hole (this could change). Expect tangents, questionable research, and a few things you probably didn’t need to know. Same nonsense, new season.

It’s the end of the season (only because Lisa is going on holiday) and we’re going out the way we came in: slightly chaotic, over-caffeinated and with Katie wondering if anyone actually cares about our day-to-day lives. We consider deleting our early episodes (they’re character-building, right?), celebrate Lisa’s son passing his driving test (with strict  two roundabout  boundaries) and dip our to...

Lisa, fresh off the high of being a guest on Joss Stone and Lemar’s podcast (A Cuppa Love), is still buzzing - and Katie’s recovering from hearing only one side of the convo (all the things, none of the context). To balance that conversation high, we dive into the topics of freezers, elephants and whatever else our brains tangent off to. Unfiltered? Always. Off-topic? Obviously. Exactly what you d...

This week on Back to Me, Lisa gets a taste of the high life on a friend’s boat and decides she might actually be posh now. Meanwhile, Katie shares a story from the archives – let’s just say it involves a baby, an airport and a moment she’ll never live down (no spoilers, but… oof). Meanwhile, BOTH Lisa and Katie get recognised in the wild (yes, fame has officially arrived), and naturally, they hand...
