  At the risk of sounding 12...

  Aug 23, 202654 minS1

  This week we're reflecting on the joy of women coming together without ego, competition or the need to prove anything. After a lovely catch-up with an old work colleague, we're celebrating the glory of being a secure woman in your 40s who can genuinely champion other women, dress for happiness and still experience the girlhood joy of messaging your pals before an event to ask... "what are you wearing?" At the risk of sounding 12, obviously. Elsewhere, Melissa has exciting Glory of the Ordinary news in the form of a new deodorant scent, while Liane is still fuming that Melissa forgot to bring the giant leek they both acquired from Kylie's allotment. And in Stardust and Soil, Melissa attempts to drag Liane out of the soil by sprinkling crystal stardust over her at a crystal and new moon event. Liane, it should be noted, did not have a neutral face. We celebrate some brilliant humans in Braggers Corner and, as always, finish with gratitude. Secure women. Happy outfits. Crystal stardust. And one missing giant leek.

  Question of the week: What's your favourite emoji?

  Aug 18, 202642 minS1

  This week we're asking a question that says more about you than you might think... what's your favourite emoji? Are you loyal to a classic ? Throwing hearts around like confetti? Or are you one of those people using a and completely unaware that some people consider it the rudest response known to mankind? We also revisit last week's question about bedtime cuddles and can confirm that Kylie might have been right... they do seem to be largely a thing of the movies. Some of you enjoy a little pre-sleep cuddle, but once it's time for actual sleeping, it's strictly back to your own side of the bed. And because we're nothing if not committed to getting to the bottom of the important questions, we also bring in a fact check on the mythical swimming pool dye that supposedly exposes anyone who wees in the water. Is it real, or have we all been living in fear for nothing? As always, we're tackling the big issues. One emoji at a time. ❤️

  We're not mind readers

  Aug 16, 202652 minS1

  This week we're talking about miscommunication, assumptions and the simple fact that, despite what we might expect, none of us are actually mind readers. When Melissa changed the podcast recording plans without telling Liane, we both made our own assumptions and a minor misunderstanding became a reminder of just how often miscommunication happens when we don't simply say what we mean. There was also cheesecake drama, with Liane still fuming after Melissa promised to bring some and forgot. A chance encounter with Jolly John while we were out taking photos got us reflecting on the power of being open to conversations and connections, and where a simple hello might lead. In the Glory of the Ordinary, Melissa discovers she's completely missed the memo that the bottle recycling bins have disappeared and bottles now belong in the blue recycling. We celebrate some brilliant humans in Braggers Corner and, as always, finish with gratitude. Assumptions. Cheesecake. Unexpected connections. And one very confused recycling system.

  Question of the week: Are bedtime cuddles a thing of movies?

  Aug 11, 202635 minS1

  This week's question comes from listener Kylie, who has a theory... bedtime cuddles are purely a Hollywood invention and nobody is actually doing it in real life. For Kylie, it's a hard no. No nightly snuggling, no romantic falling asleep in each other's arms, thank you very much. But what about you? Are bedtime cuddles a genuine part of your evening routine, a fleeting moment before someone rolls over and steals the duvet, or are you firmly in Kylie's camp? We also revisit last week's shower debate and the results are in... 99.9% of you are weeing in the shower. And frankly, the overwhelming theme is efficiency. Why make two trips when you can get the job done while you're already in there? As always, we're asking the questions you didn't know you needed answering. ️

  You’re not behind

  Aug 9, 202655 minS1

  This week we're talking about the different seasons of life we're all moving through and how strange it can feel when the people around you seem to be in completely different chapters. We unpack society's obsession with the life checklist: house, marriage, kids, career... and how easy it is to convince yourself you're somehow behind if your life doesn't follow the expected timeline. Spoiler alert: you're not. You're exactly where you are, and there is no one-size-fits-all route through life. Melissa is also riding the energy of the Lions Gate Portal, ready to sprinkle her stardust into Liane's soil, while Glory of the Ordinary delivers another major milestone: Melissa has a water meter. We celebrate Linzi and Mel in Braggers Corner and, as always, finish with gratitude. Different seasons. Different timelines. No one is behind.
