Episode notes
The Catch-Up ☕️
🏡 Larissa’s house is finally starting to look like… a house! Windows and doors are in (we repeat: progress!), but now comes the chaos of when do you order a kitchen? Polly Positive is still present… but only just.
💔 Charlotte has been spiralling — and we mean spiralling. She’s picked up on a shift in energy from “the favourite” / “the dancer”… and yep, her gut was right.
They meet for a drink. The conversation happens. And the truth? He’s been on a date.
Charlotte already knew… but there’s a big difference between knowing and living it.
😶 “I don’t ask questions because I don’t want to know the answers.”
💬 “Don’t use my words against me.”
🤡 “At least this is content for your podcast.”
Cue the call to Fern, all the tears, blowing her nose on her vest and being angry at the world.
Charlotte’s mum sums it up best: “fucking idiot.”
🦉 Fern steps in as the wise old owl, reminding Charlotte she’s allowed to feel it all. No rushing. No fixing. Just feeling.
By the end of it, Charlotte is a “bleedin raisin” - no tears, no mucus membranes, nothing left to give.
✨ “Cry until there’s nothing left to cry.”
✨ “It will open up space for something else.” - Fern’s mums wisdom we’re holding onto.
Charlotte, composed as ever, even hits him with:
“You’re so lucky I’m not on my period.” Iconic, really.
The Big Question: Can Boys and Girls Just Be Friends?
👀 A debate as old as time…
🚫 Fern says no.
😬 Charlotte wants to say yes… but isn’t fully convinced.
We get into blurred lines, “best friends,” and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes…
👉 “You’re best friends… until your penis falls in her.”
And how often do we pretend we’re fine with it just so we don’t come across as “psycho”?
So we’re asking you -
Can men and women really just be friends? Or are we all lying to ourselves?
Fern’s Weekly Update ✨
🍽️ Finally made it to Six by Nico - although her mum couldn’t quite keep up with the wine flight. And she’s been smashing gym sessions with her daughter - routine, structure, sanity.
Big feelings, brutal honesty, and one of those episodes that really hits.
Follow, rate 5⭐️, and share with your besties - especially the ones who will let you cry, spiral and come back stronger.
