About a year ago, Laura suggested getting Styled By Susie onto the podcast and Lauren was a bit unsure. Because when we hear the word stylist, we immediately think of someone who is going to tell us everything we can't wear. But Susie couldn't be more the opposite of that! In this episode, Susie tells us what colour are going to make our eyes POP and our skin glow and why finding your style means so much more than how our bodies look on the outside.

We had to call in Felicity Hayward to find out what the f**k is going on with plus size fashion. The rise of ozempic, the return of 90s fashion, the announcement of the 36 ASOS Insiders with almost no plus size representation. It's leaving us all feeling a bit flat. So we grouped together for a big ol' therapy session that might help you feel a bit better about things. We're so so grateful to Rune for sponsoring this episode.

"We're more comfortable talking about our intimate sex lives than we are talking about money." And that is why we're dedicating a full episode to money, finances, budgeting, debt... the lot of it. We are no experts (as you'll hear) so we invited along the fabulous Ellie from This Girl Talks Money, who guided us so wonderfully through the very complicated world of saving, treating ourselves and how to actually live our lives whilst still making savings. You can find Ellie here. And she's written a book which is your guide to all things financial wellbeing (basically, how to have a good time but still save).

Welcome to Season 5 of Go Love Yourself! It's a new year and we can't think of a better day to start a new season of Go Love Yourself. We're cutting through the noise of "New Year New Me" and reminding you why starting a diet today, isn't the great idea you've been told it is.

Lovely listeners, this week we're hitting you with some of our HOT TAKES. Because this week, we just wanted to chat through some of the trends we've been seeing across our TikToks. What are almond mums, and is it a good thing that we're joking about them? Did we all have almond mums? What are our thoughts on Ozempic? Is it ok that so many people are getting fillers? Would WE ever get fillers? Allll these burning questions and more, in this week's episode! Plus, Laura's been watching Married at First Sight ?!?!?

Ever wondered why so many of us grew up to hate ourselves? Wellll, movies are another one of those big culprits... We've got the obvious ones like Bridget Jones, and the fat joke heavy ones like Norbit, and DON'T EVEN GET US STARTED ON SHALLOW HAL! But, there's also the more innocuous ones, that we kind of do love. Like Mean Girls and Love Actually, which sadly are actually filled with toxic diet culture. So, in this week's episode we're diving deep into movies, and how they impacted our body image ❤️ Show Notes Get your live show tickets here! Our next live recording will be on Oct 30th in London

Despite essentially half the world having to deal with it, contraceptives and women's health are STILL taboo topics. But, with so many of us suffering in silence and having little access to reliable information, we need to talk about it. So in this week's episode, we're chatting to Dr Becky from The Lowdown, a website where people can add their reviews of different contraceptives, and find reliable information about their options. Or, as they like to call it, the Trip Advisor for your vagina. We myth busted everything from, being on the pill for “too long” and withdrawal bleeds, to the fertility awareness methods and the effectiveness of contraception in larger bodies. PLUS, Laura has some news for us… Show Notes Get your live show tickets here! Our next live recording will be on Oct 30th in London

Lovely Listeners… WE WON A BRITISH PODCAST AWARD!! We are so over the moon and the biggest thank you every goes to all of you guys.

We answered some of your dating/relationship dilemmas, including: dating men with low emotional intelligence, going back to an ex, getting back into sex after YEARS without it, and being financially independent from a partner.Plus we chatted ICKS, and whether or not it's ok to make dating decisions based on them… Show Notes

Hey lovelies! Here's a new podcast that we think you'll love. It's called First Dates: The Podcast, and it's based on the incredible First Dates show that we all know and love. It's hosted by Frankie Bridge of the Saturdays and CiCi Coleman, everyone's favourite waitress from the show, and each week they meet guests with hilarious, disastrous or heartwarming first date stories This moving episode features Nisha, who got swept up in a toxic relationship. She shares her experiences of love-bombing and manipulation, before finding comfort speaking to other women who had been through the same thing. This episode is a sensitive listen, and if you'd rather hear an episode about poo or vomit they've got plenty of them too. You can find every episode wherever you get your podcast, or on listentofirstdates.com. And, you can follow @firstdates on Instagram and YouTube.

It's no secret that magazines were toxic for our body image, especially in the 90s, 00s, and 2010s. Who can forget how people spoke about Jessica Simpson?! That might be permanently scarred in the psyche of all millennials... So, in this week's episode, we're taking a deeper look at those magazines, and how they made us hate ourselves. Spoiler alert: we never stood a chance. Show Notes Get your live show tickets here!

GUYS. It's only bloody Katie Price!!! For the last 30 years, she's been part of our lives. From glamour model, to reality TV star, to mum, she's constantly been been shredded apart by the press.  To this day, she still has drones flying over her house.  We're also joined by Katie's lovely little sister Sophie who co-hosts her new podcast 'The Katie Price Show' alongside her.  And in this episode, we're having an open and honest chat about her mental health, confidence, and why she's had so much surgery. We also chatted about 00s nights out, the original spicy book, THAT horse outfit, and Lauren made a new history friend….

Lovely listeners, this might be our most emotional episode yet. We've recently been speaking a bit more on the podcast about our experiences with being child-free, so you might already know that, for numerous reasons, neither of us have kids, despite wanting them. And from the amount of messages we get, we've realised how common this experience is, despite how isolating it can feel. So in this episode, we're getting real about our experiences, and where we're currently at with this. We're also chatting to the incredible Jody Day, aka the BEYONCE of Childlessness, about her advice on grief and what a childless future can look like.  p.s. as you'll hear in our chat, we're aware that child-less and child-free are meant to have different definitions. We're currently more comfortable using the term 'child-free' for ourselves, so that's what we're using in the episode title. It's absolutely not to take away from anyone who's child-free by choice, it's just where we're currently at in our "journey" xx   Resources: Gateway Women: https://gateway-women.com  World Childless Week: https://worldchildlessweek.net Jody's Book: https://gateway-women.com/book/  Show Notes Get your live show tickets here!

It's been a while since we spoke about dealing with other people's opinions, and because we get SO many requests for advice on it, we thought we'd revisit it. Our experiences with it have also changed since our last episode on it: Lauren's been shocked by the water cooler chat at her new job, and Laura's had to make the difficult decision to cut someone judgmental out of her life. So, in this episode, we're diving into our experiences, as well as responding to some of your stories about office nightmares and opinionated families. Show Notes

Ahead of Alopecia Awareness Month, we spoke to the incredible Laura Mathias aka @RelightAlopecia about what it's like to lose all your hair at 13. After 17 years of wig wearing, Laura slowly started to ditch them and became more and more confident rocking her bald head, despite the judgment she sometimes faces.And we can all learn SO much from Laura's approach to life, and her passion for pushing herself out of her comfort zone. Plus we have some HUGE news!!! We're doing three live shows in London before the end of the year

We're coming up to our 35th birthday's, and we can't stop thinking about all the milestones society expects us to hit by this age. So, Lauren's coming up to her 35th birthday. The age when everyone tells you your fertility “falls of a cliff”. And after growing up in a world that expects every woman to marry, have babies, and hit all kinds of milestones this birthday is hitting particularly hard. So in this week's episode we're talking about all the milestones we've felt pressured by, from motherhood to marriage, uni to career success, and money to mortgages. The pressures we put on ourselves can be unbearable, and hopefully this episode brings a bit of comfort to you. TW: this episode contains references to trauma, mental illness, and infertility. Show notes:

It's time for us "spinsters" to reclaim and learn to love our singlehood!!!  The pressure we face to be coupled up, and the assumption that your life isn't whole without a partner is INSANITY. So, in this episode we're chatting to author of 'A Single Revolution'. We get into all the best bits of single hood, how we got rid of the shame we felt (and got from others) about our lack of partner, and how to deal with those lonely moments that do creep in. So, if you're single right now this really is an episode for you, and if you're in a relationship this will be a really interesting insight into what the world is like for your single friends (and why you need to spot asking if we've found someone yet).
