In The Genes

This week we are releasing an episode we recorded a few weeks ago that we decided not to release for a number of reasons. Should it have stayed in the vault? Too late now. If you would like to Opt in in October and receive a free Bowel Screening Kit visit  ncsr.gov.au

Bec's return to radio stirs up some unexpected emotion and a Troll of the Week, who finds an unlikely ally in Grace. Grace throws Bec under the bus for an Adelaide Fashion Week act of kindness gone wrong.

We’re back from a break with much to catch up on so brace yourselves. We need help tracking down a Good, Fit Samaritan and our reviews are in for Taylor Swift’s new album. Plus we explore how our two generations prioritise work as Grace finishes her first full time week in her chosen field... and doesn’t cope.

A quick Emmy wrap so Bec can prove she’s up to speed on pop culture for once. Grace is considering a new side hustle leaving Bec horrified. Plus we unpack the pros and cons of AI.

Grace displays some self-awareness around her moods! Some key learnings from a nine-hour hike. And "bouncing" back from a rejection without becoming a "basket" case. (that will make sense after you've listened) 

Bec has a new role and it’s already causing her to spiral. Grace expresses her gratitude after opening up on body image. And we briefly get to Taylor and Travis. Apologies in advance friends, this one may test your patience!

Serena Williams is promoting weight loss drugs, prompting Grace to open up about her feelings around her body. Frankie turned 14 and the party was.. interesting. Plus we open up Grace's notes apps and the one about her mother is less than flattering.

We unpack the latest AFL controversy and Taylor's new album announcement. Grace reveals she's on a dating app and educates us on the human body.

Grace recounts being a triple zero hero during a household emergency and we unpack the lengths Bec is going to, to look younger, while trying to save money.

Bec is questioning her parenting style which doesn’t seem to be cutting through. Grace’s German “friend” makes a cameo appearance as she continues to bang on about Europe. And we recognise our inaugural Troll of the Week.

We are back after our respective holidays with much to catch up on. Think German saunas and New York breathwork. Plus Grace is in trouble for trashing something she borrowed, and we revisit the comments section against Bec’s will.

Milla steps in for Grace behind the mic this episode, giving her perspective on life through the eyes of a 16 year old.

Magda Pearce and Debra Ireland are Bec’s guests this week. Magda’s son Lukasz and Debra’s daughter Chelsea were a happy teenage couple when Lukasz’s father took their lives in a shocking act of violence in 2020. The two mothers have formed an unbreakable friendship to deal with their unimaginable grief.  

Grace is the subject of a newspaper profile, and Bec's in trouble for telling her to tread carefully. Plus, we share our perspectives on Sabrina Carpenter's new album artwork and 16-year-old Milla gets the final say.

While Bec was away she learns the kids were VERY well looked after in her absence. Grace has a “bad day” and her mother gives her a reality check on feedback. Plus Bec addresses Grace’s feelings around being unplanned. 

This week's episode is a bit like shopping at an op shop, a bit of everything, possibly worse for wear, but still worthy of some love. We discuss the discovery of a Great White Shark washed up on our local beach, Grace reads from her favourite book and gives some advice on the best way to shop for secondhand clothes.

Three generations discuss the changing role of motherhood as we welcome Bec's Mum as our first guest and Grace reflects on their different mothering styles.

This ep we talk about the risks of sharing too much of your children on social media after Frankie pushed back. Plus Bec found putting herself out there for a potential career change much harder than she thought and Grace has to give her a pep talk.

Bec shares Grace’s birth story to celebrate her birthday as Grace imparts 22 lessons she’s learned in 22 years, while her mother tries to stay focused.

Grace is back to unpack her comments about Mother Guilt and teach Bec about manifesting abundance. If you film burrata and caviar you're in the firing line. And we talk about female friendships after the White Lotus finale.

Bec & Grace have decided to have a little sabbatical after last week’s bickering so “the Bec” in Bec & Grace is flying solo for a quick episode to address the concept of Mother Guilt.

Grace is in a mood for this episode that only Sex and the City can snap her out of. She talks about her viral TikTok that got 10 million views, and we address the dangers of social media in the wake of the Adolescence TV series. It seems Bec has dropped the ball on this one.

This episode starts in the gutter as Grace digs up an old Mum Fail. Both Grace and Bec have fallen victim to scams. We look to normalise complimenting strangers, plus is it ok to have a big friendship age gap?

Bec receives a spiritual intervention… twice.  We hear the Bec and James origin story and Grace is spouting many, many opinions on making plans with friends and embracing maximilism. Plus advice on making friends at uni.
