Show and Tell

This week, Monty fills us in on Big Brother's return to our TV screens, and we ponder whether it'll take off - and have a giggle over an unforgettable moment from the show's past. Mel shares her love for singer Lola Young's body confidence... but why it also makes her feel like a hypocrite. There's also a bit of phone booth nostalgia, Mel's random fact, a goosebump-inducing vocal from a beloved Beach Boy, and Monty asks... is it ok to sniff a stranger's baby? Enjoy!

Comparing illnesses is always a bad idea! Monty usually feels like her illness is on a different scale to Brooke's and it often makes her feel guilty. There are so many layers of guilt with chronic illness and comparing is one of them. We also get an update on Brooke's situation around Stem Cell Transplant Therapy. This was an emotional one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, it's all about the joys of young love and the nightmare convo NO ONE wants to endure. There's also the illegal baby names that have us stumped, stuff that's irrationally annoying us, and Monty has a hilarious take on a nauseating social media trend. Enjoy!

This week, we kick off with a classic 90’s movie that disappointingly doesn’t hit quite the same as it did back in the day, the beauty of female friendships and (literal) sisterhood, managing conflict, and Monty’s journal set-up leaves Mel dumbfounded. We also have a very honest conversation about the toxic behaviours that rear their ugly head when we’re feeling completely out of control… which funnily enough, seems to be always. Enjoy!

Brooke doesn't hold back on telling Monty she is selfish because of the long voice notes she leaves! Is this selfish? hmmm, debatable.

Brooke is delving into the world of alternative 'out there' woo woo stuff. What a few treatments of lymphatic drainage and spinal healing did to her body was pretty wild!! A beautiful listener also sent in a voice message about having to give up work due to her health issues and how this has stripped so much of her identity.

Hello! Today, we address a question from lovely listener SJ (not SJP - although we do chat about her too), about how we're dealing with perimenopause - and in our usual fashion, we don't hold back.
