94. Can women ever age correctly?

On the menu this week we’re chatting about ageing. We discuss the pressure on women to age gracefully (which is code for look 28 forever), the anti ageing industry and why men seem to be free of many of the worries women carry around age.

91. Everyone wants a village but are you willing to be a villager?

On the menu this week we chat about whether setting boundaries has gone too far. It seems we’ve gone from ‘you can’t pour from an empty cup’ to ‘don’t pour unless your cup is completely full’. How do we create space to be a ‘village’ for those we love?

90. A chat about the manosphere

On the menu today we’re talking about the rise of the manosphere and the impact it’s having, in particular, on Gen Z men.

88. The “five year stranger” theory

On the menu this week, we unpack the “five year stranger” theory: the idea that as you change and life moves on, so does your circle. We chat about whether this is true for us, why it happens, and whether it’s sad or just part of life!
