The holiday season is upon us, and with it, a new trend: the rise of being sober-ish. In this episode, Amanda and Anita discuss drinking habits, the effects of alcohol on health, and the changing patterns of alcohol use among younger generations.     Facebook   Instagram      The Double A Chattery podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional health care s...

On today's show, there's a couple of bits and pieces we've gleaned over the week that we wanted to share with you. First up, Anita's heard about the benefits of 'grounding', and she's feeling cynical. Meanwhile, Amanda has been hanging around puppies feeling aggressive towards puppies and babies?! Should we be worried?    Facebook   Instagram      The Double A Chattery podcast is for general infor...

Amanda came across Lise Wortley, an adventurer who has a rather unique was of celebrating female explorers (that most of us have never heard of!) Rather than describe what she did, we decided to invite her on the show to tell you herself.  www.instagram.com/woman_with_altitude   www.womanwithaltitude.com     Facebook   Instagram      The Double A Chattery podcast is for general informational purpo...

Are you lonely? Apparently 25% of Australians are, and Anita's been thinking about it.

As you know, we recently set up a Facebook Community , and we've loved seeing you all getting to know each other there and hearing your thoughts on the show. Over there, we asked you how simple your wedding was in comparison to today's, and heard some rather unique wedding experiences! (Nudist wedding, anyone?)    Facebook   Instagram      The Double A Chattery podcast is for general informational...

In a previous episode, we spoke about how a kindness is never wasted. Does the same hold true for an act of chivalry?

There are so many unacknowledged acts of love that women do, and study after study consistently tells us that women do more unpaid labour than men. You've probably heard about 'Weaponised Incompetence', but is there more to the story?    Facebook   Instagram      The Double A Chattery podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional health care services, incl...

First up, we share our listeners' glimmers from our new Facebook community. Then, Anita has a very important question for you this week: Sex robots. Are you for them, or are you against them?    Facebook   Instagram      The Double A Chattery podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice.

In light of Elle Macpherson's recent revelations relating to her cancer treatment, we discuss the diminishing world of science in an Instagram world. Medicine may not be able to give us the certainty we'd like, but have we lost perspective on what it does do for us? Also, we're feeling pretty gruntled about our 100 year anniversary!  Facebook   Instagram      The Double A Chattery podcast is for g...

We talk about them all in this episode!  We've been doing a few deep dives over the last few weeks, so we thought we'd keep it light and talk about interesting items that have come across our desks. Of course, we mean figurative desk, considering we're all expected to hotdesk now, which, coincidentally, is something we discuss alongside poo paranoia, prescription poetry and the ethics of airlines...

British presenter Kirstie Allsop allowed her 15-year-old to travel around Europe without parental supervision. She was then contacted by a social worker, informing her that she was under investigation for child neglect.  Amanda and Anita share their thoughts on this and discuss how our modern-day helicopter parenting style might be causing more harm than good. Plus, Anita shares her biggest parent...

Put on your serious pants, because we're diving into a deep topic today. When does punishment end? Does everyone deserve a second chance? Amanda read an article in The Washington Post about punishment and second chances, and given Anita's a forensic psychologist, brought the topic up with Anita to hear her expert opinion.    Facebook   Instagram      The Double A Chattery podcast is for general in...

Amanda and Anita asked you about the ways you spoil your pets, so to kick things off they share some of your wonderful responses. Meanwhile, British pop-star Lily Allen has faced backlash after she admitted to returning her dog to the pound after it misbehaved. So, this episode looks at that situation, and how to deal with badly behaved pets. Is there such a thing? Or are there simply badly behave...

This week Amanda and Anita discuss the unique love people have for their pets. There is the real grief that is felt when a pet crosses the rainbow bridge. There is the classic trope of a dad who resists getting a dog only to become completely besotted. There are stats that show how pets become family members. And of course, there are the myriad ways people find to spoil their pets. Let us know how...

There is a trend at the moment where people ‘raw-dog’ long plane rides to test their mental resilience. This gets Amanda and Anita thinking about boredom – a sensation that our busy, modern lives have essentially stamped out. What starts as a relatively sensible conversation about this, quickly becomes an in-depth chat about Fairy Porn… which happens to be Amanda’s unexpected new obsession. If you...

There is a reason most of us relish a bit of ‘driveway time’ at the end of a big day. It’s in moments like these that we can prepare to transition from one mode to another. To take a breath, shift the gears, and step into our next moment at a better pace. In this episode, Amanda and Anita discuss the stressors that come with change. Whether positive Eustress or negative Distress as explained by An...
