This week we’re riding the high from an incredible in-person event that left us reflecting on why we started this journey in the first place. We talk about the power of connection, the magic that happens when people come together, and what it means to create spaces where people feel seen, heard and encouraged to […]

This week we’re tackling a very important question… What’s your stance on Yorkshire puddings? Are they reserved exclusively for a traditional roast beef dinner, or are they welcome alongside any roast? Do they belong on a Christmas dinner? How many are you having? And perhaps most importantly… are you team crispy bottom or team stodgy? […]

This week we’re riding the high that comes from being around people who are doing brave things. You know the feeling. Hearing someone’s exciting plans, celebrating their wins, watching them take a leap, and somehow finding yourself feeling a little braver too. We talk about the positive ripple effect of connection and why courage can […]

This week we revisit last week’s ear cleaning debate and can confirm… despite all official advice, absolutely everyone is still using cotton buds. Mostly on a wet ear. Then onto this week’s important question… What’s your favourite type of potato? Because for us, potatoes are an elite food group. Roasties, mash, chips, waffles, dauphinoise… we […]

This week we’re talking about comparison and how easy it is to look at where someone else is in their chapter while completely forgetting the blood, sweat, tears, failures and setbacks it probably took to get there. Because most of the time, we’re comparing ourselves to someone else’s highlight reel… not the full story. We […]

This week we revisit last week’s shoes on or off debate and somehow end up on an important side quest… should dogs be allowed on beds? For us, it’s a hard yes. Then onto this week’s Question of the Week… How are you actually cleaning your ears? Because if you’re not using cotton buds for […]

This week we’re talking about the reality of having a wobble… and how easy it is to get pulled into negative self talk when life feels heavy. We both share some of the challenges we’ve faced over the last week and the importance of recognising what’s actually happening before disappearing down the spiral. Sometimes the […]

This week’s Question of the Week gets unexpectedly divisive… Shoes on or off in the house? What about house shoes? Is that technically the role of a Croc? What if you’re just nipping to the bin? And are you actually enforcing these rules with visitors… or quietly judging them afterwards? We also ask the important […]

This week we’ve both been on our travels again, Melissa headed to Manchester to see Tame Impala, while Liane took on the glitter, glamour and intensity of the Open World Schools Championships at Blackpool Tower. Somewhere between concerts, dance competitions and filling the car up with fuel, we found ourselves reflecting on what it actually […]

This week we revisit last week’s deodorant debate and the people have spoken… there’s not much love for a roll on – apart from Liane’s brother-in-law, who proudly uses an unscented ladies roll on (there was judgement). Some die-hard Dove fans are still willing to splurge, while others are only now discovering the actual price […]
