How do you have the conversation about contraception and fertility? Why is fertility such a difficult thing to talk about? And for that matter, why does it feel like women are responsible for bringing the topic up? A+A discuss why we need to start having open and honest conversations around fertility, Amanda's experience of going through IVF in the spotlight, and the world of IVF influencers.    J...

The holidays are a time when families come together… for better or for worse. In these days of polarising political opinions, many of us might still be reeling from a fight we had with our vaccine resistant uncle or a radicalised friend.  Amanda and Anita both read a book over the holidays which may have the answers for what’s happened to cause such distance in recent years, and how to bring us ba...

With Christmas just weeks away, Amanda and Anita are getting prepared for Christmas Day- how they do it now and how they grew up doing it. Also on the topic of cooking, Sara Lee recently going into liquidation has sparked some thoughts about how the company changed the way women thought about food preparation, and how A+A like to cook, prep and entertain now.  (FYI: Anita confesses something Austr...

A nice light and bright episode to take you into December when things start to get a little crazy.  Anita and Amanda don’t live the lives that their mothers did. Like most modern women, A+A are going about their daily life very differently compared to the women the generation before. However, Amanda has discovered that Anita has taken one pastime from her mother, and it seems that many women are d...

Amanda helped launch a charity for a friend last week called ‘The Please Stay Foundation’ which helps young adolescents who are suffering with their mental health. Amanda was moved at how many parents in the crowd were overwhelmed with emotion at some of the lived experiences they have had with their children. Anita equips us with a wealth of information about this particular topic, how you can pr...

Influencers are taking over our social media feeds… but ‘outfit tagging’, and ‘makeup routines’ are sooo yesterday. Amanda and Anita want to discuss some new influencers on the block. The beige, brown and red! They are the unlikely ones taking social media by storm at the moment, A+A will explain what they are and why the sudden interest   Join the conversation by reaching us on our socials!  Face...

There is a lot of talk about women who are a similar age to Amanda and Anita coming into their ‘third act.’ It's the stage where you are balancing a new lease on life whether it be kids moving out (but still needing you), your parents still being around (and needing you) and your life becoming a little more flexible to fit in travel, work, love... However, it’s also a stage where women feel the mo...

Anita read an article the other day about a woman’s sex toy getting hacked…. Yes, you read that right. Who would’ve thought we’d live in a world where even sex toys can be hacked, but here we are. Amanda and Anita deep dive into the evolution of scams. When they were young, it was ones in comic books and chain mail. Hackers then moved into romantic scams, into playing on our guilt, into targeting...

We are a month into the podcast and we're getting some great reactions from you all which we are so chuffed about... plus, we even have a listener who has written in wanting some life tips from us. The pressure! Anita has also found a new trend on TikTok, and it revolves around people celebrating the “glimmers” in their lives, rather than the triggers. Anita gives us insight as to why we always fo...

We are learning more and more about Anita McGregor as the weeks go by…. But we didn’t know she was such a rebel?! Anita reveals something to Amanda she did on a recent trip to Canada. A&A are the first generation that aren't wanting their parents stuff... and also won’t be able to hand things down, because the younger generation doesn’t want it either. Back in the day you were grateful to get...

Firstly, Amanda would like to thank everyone from the overwhelming feedback she received after episode two.  But onto other big topics…. Dolphin Sex has been on A+A’s mind.  Amanda's been listening to ‘Hooked on Freddie’, a podcast about a man who loved swimming with a particular dolphin, until he was accused of having an 'abnormally close relationship with it’ (if you know what we mean!) But afte...

Six years ago Amanda’s family received some news which would change their lives.  Amanda and her husband Harley would’ve preferred to never talk about this publicly, but together, they feel like the timing is right to discuss what has been happening in their family. This is a story about love conquering all. We always talk about the beginning and the end of a love story, but what about the middle?...

When we think of addictions, we think of smoking, drinking, drugs, sex.... but there are other serious addictions out there which you might have already fallen victim to.  Amanda found an article from The New York Times where there’s a new bookstore in Brooklyn devoted to romance books – the only fiction genre to see big increases in sales last year. Amanda and Anita discuss the obsession everyone...
