It Aint for Sissies

We hit record with zero agenda and let the conversation do what it does best — wander. From random thoughts and half-finished stories to unexpected tangents and the occasional moment of accidental insight, this is a classic “we’re just chatting” episode. It’s the kind of conversation that starts in one place, ends somewhere completely different, and makes perfect sense while it’s happening (we thi...

Ever wondered what people are really doing with the world's most powerful search engines? Well, we've done it again ... In this episode, we take a peek behind the curtain of our recent ChatGPT and Google search histories. The results are random, occasionally educational, mostly unnecessary, and a little concerning. From bizarre late-night questions to oddly specific rabbit holes, we're...

Have you ever found yourself parenting your parent... or being treated like a child long after you've mastered paying taxes and keeping a houseplant alive? In this episode, we unpack the fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) parent-child, child-parent, and parent-parent dynamics that can quietly shape our relationships. From adult children managing their parents' lives, to parents who ju...

Two co-hosts, one very uncomfortable question: is honesty really the best policy… or is that just something people say before dropping devastating news? In this episode, we unpack the messy world of truth-telling — from brutal honesty and little white lies to those moments where you wonder if sparing someone’s feelings is actually the kinder option. Is being truthful always the right thing to do,...

After wrapping up Season 4 and taking a well-earned breather, we're back behind the microphones and ready to kick off Season 5! In this catch-up episode, we're filling you in on everything that's happened during our little hiatus — the highs, the lows, the random life updates nobody asked for, and the things we've been obsessing over while we were away. Think of this as a reunion e...

From moon water to mop hairstyles, we’re diving into all the trends everyone seems to be obsessed with right now. In this episode, we unpack the habits, hacks, and “life-changing” routines flooding our feeds — and decide which ones are actually worth it… and which ones are just beautifully branded nonsense. We talk wellness trends, fitness crazes, beauty rituals, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle)...

From ice baths at sunrise to wearing eye and spot patches out in public, we’re diving into all the trends everyone seems to be obsessed with right now. In this episode, we unpack the habits, hacks, and “life-changing” routines flooding our feeds — and decide which ones are actually worth it… and which ones are just beautifully branded nonsense. We talk wellness trends, fitness crazes, beauty ritua...

Family: the original reality show. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the wonderfully complicated world of family dynamics — with a special spotlight on grandparents and the many ways they show up in their grandchildren’s lives… or don’t. From loving support to unsolicited opinions, surprise boundary issues to becoming the household CEO, we unpack why some grandparents become deeply involved...

In this episode, we take a nostalgic trip into the wonderfully awkward world of Dr Miriam Stoppard’s Questions Children Ask and How to Answer Them — a book that promised clarity, guidance and age-appropriate truth… and delivered answers that were technically correct, yet impressively misleading. We dive into some of the book’s more memorable responses to children’s big questions and quickly realis...

We hit record with zero agenda and let the conversation do what it does best — wander. From random thoughts and half-finished stories to unexpected tangents and the occasional moment of accidental insight, this is a classic “we’re just chatting” episode. It’s the kind of conversation that starts in one place, ends somewhere completely different, and makes perfect sense while it’s happening (we thi...

In this episode, we’re doing what we do best: having very strong opinions about things nobody asked us about . We’re sharing everything we swear by — from products we’re unreasonably loyal to, to routines and life hacks that we’re convinced are the reason we’re still semi-competent adults. Are these life-changing? Maybe. Are we biased? Absolutely. Expect a mix of genuinely helpful finds, slightly...

In this episode, we uncover a shocking truth: our parents were out here just… making things up. From the very real threat of swallowing a seed and growing an entire watermelon in your stomach, to the high-risk decision of pulling a funny face in case the wind changed and you were stuck like that forever — our childhoods were basically fuelled by creative storytelling and mild fear. And now, in a f...

This week we’re confronting a slightly alarming realisation: somehow, we’re the adults now. At some point the responsibility baton got passed to us — mortgages, children, bills, life decisions — and yet neither of us remembers receiving the training manual. In this episode, we unpack the quiet suspicion that many of us share: do any adults actually know what they’re doing, or are we all just confi...

In this episode, we tackle one of life’s most pressing midlife questions: at what point does “stylish and confident” become “mutton dressed as lamb”? As two forty-somethings navigating fashion, trends, and the ever-shifting rules about what women “should” and “shouldn’t” do at a certain age, we dive into the awkward (and sometimes hilarious) moment when you start questioning whether something is b...

This week we did something bold. Reckless, even. We discussed AI. Not in a “here are the technical specifications” way — but in a “so… is this how humanity ends?” way. From helpful chatbots and eerily accurate algorithms to the very real possibility of robots quietly plotting while we ask them to write grocery lists. We unpack our fears about artificial intelligence and where this is all heading....

This week’s episode has a bold, carefully curated theme: absolutely nothing. We showed up, pressed record, and trusted that decades of opinions, mild delusion, and caffeine would carry us across the finish line. What followed was a scenic journey through tangents, half-stories, forgotten points, sudden deep thoughts, and the occasional “wait, what were we talking about?” There’s no structure, no r...

In this episode, we make a shocking confession: we have officially become our children’s full-time entertainment coordinators. Somewhere between Pinterest crafts, emergency playdates, “educational” outings, and the 47th snack of the day, we realised… our kids are never bored. Not in the car. Not on a Sunday afternoon. Not even for the dangerously long 12 seconds it takes to say, “I’m boooored.” An...

In this episode, we reflect on the purchases that once sparked joy… and now spark nothing but regret. From things we were convinced would change our lives to expenses that made sense only in the moment (and absolutely not the morning after), we’re unpacking all the money we lovingly set on fire. With the wisdom that only time—and a depleted bank account—can bring, we break down what we thought we...

Forty-three. Thinking baby. Absolutely surrounded by opinions. In this episode, we do what they do best: talk it out. We’re diving into the question everyone seems to have an opinion on — is having a baby at 43 selfish, or just another way of doing life on your own terms? We share our perspectives, unpack the age-related assumptions, and get into the realities of choosing motherhood later in life...

Are dupes a clever life hack or just capitalism wearing a trench coat? In this episode, we wade into the chaotic world of “same same but cheaper,” unpacking the hype, the ethics, and the emotional whiplash of realising your “budget-friendly find” somehow costs… basically the same as the original. Stay tuned for some insider information, you and your wallet will thank us you did.

In this episode, we’re launching Operation: Stay Well — a highly strategic (and mildly chaotic) attempt to boost our immune systems and avoid becoming the next group chat announcement that starts with “Guys… I’m sick.” We chat about vitamins we think work, wellness habits we’re trying to stick to, and the eternal hope that antiseptic cream and good intentions will somehow keep the germs away. Ther...

It’s the start of a brand-new year and… we’re still processing it. In this episode, we don’t tackle any specific topic — just a free-flowing new-year catch-up full of reflections, tangents, and the universal confusion that comes with January. The vibes are loading, and we’re chinwagging about life, thoughts, and whatever else wanders into the conversation. If you’re also not quite sure what 2026 i...

It’s that strange, sparkly time of year when time loses meaning, leftovers become a food group, and everyone suddenly believes this will be the year they become a morning person. 🎄✨ In this episode, we unpack the festive season in all its chaotic glory— Chrissy stories, overambitious plans, end-of-year reflections, and the collective delusion known as “New Year, New Me.” As we wave goodbye to 20...

You requested, we delivered - In this episode, your favourite ’84 babies take a ride in the time machine and revisit the sounds, sights, and pop culture moments that shaped our childhood. From Saturday morning cartoons and diaper babies to memorable taglines and printers trays, we dive deep into the memories that still make us smile (and cringe). Whether you're also a child of the '80s or...

We talk about why originality feels harder than ever, how comparison culture chips away at creativity, and the subtle ways we all unconsciously conform. From navigating social media’s influence to figuring out what “authentic” even means anymore, we break down the messy, and sometimes uncomfortable process of trying to be ourselves in a world that loves a good template. Expect personal stories, a...
