Nights' resident Agony Aunt Courtney Dawson is back for her monthly visit to answer listeners' problems.

Very early on in my career as The Guardian's Agony Aunt the letters started coming in about family estrangements - the "should I cut X out of my life" style questions. Back then, cutting a family member out was anathema to me but over the years, i came to understand why some people sought it out. The thing is, cutting someone out is rarely the end of the problem. Sometimes it's only the beginning.In this episode I talk to long-time conversationalist psychotherapist Chris Mills about why some situations become so bad that estrangement seems like the only answer - indeed is it the only answer? What it can mean and how to try to build bridges after an estrangement (maybe one not of your making) if that's what feels right.

As a fellow human trying to balance parenting and running a business, I know how hard it can be. This week I want to address your woes in another Agony Aunt episode. I asked members of the Misfit Entrepreneurs Facebook group what their biggest challenges were as business parents.  And today I'll answer one from Bec Slack from CleverStuff. Bec's biggest challenge is: “When they were younger the feeling of guilt for using daycare when people thought working from home meant they should be with me (noone actually said it, but it was the feeling). Now they are older it's the guilt of being home and them asking to do something but I still have work to do. Mind you, their face when I can make an assembly to see them get an award or being able to attend book parade makes up for it. Juggling is tricky no matter what though. It's not just work Vs kids, it's work Vs kids Vs partner Vs mental health Vs social life Vs hobbies Vs sleep.”   Listen to all tip episodes here   Buy your copy of Six Figures in School Hours   Freebies:  Personal Branding Workbook Productivity Cheat Sheet Join the Misfit Entrepreneurs on Facebook   Join the Digital Marketing Collective membership

It is a big week for the Therapy Crouch this week as we find ourselves celebrating a double birthday celebration! Not only is it the nation's favourite Agony Aunt's birthday, but your not-so-new favourite podcast has also turned 1 years old!!! After having some typical travel woes over the Christmas period, Abbey and Pete are back on the couch to discuss Ross' rascal trainers, Pete's new found love of Zumba and Abbey's failed attempt at dry January. As it is our one year podiversary, we also take a walk down memory lane to reminisce on some of our personal highlights from throughout the past 12 months, of which there has been plenty. And it is business as usual in Agony Ab, where we hear from someone who has caught the workplace b*tches throwing shade at her best pal and a woman who feels her husband needs to start laying down the law in the workplace.

I'm delighted to welcome back one of my most popular guests ever, Philippa Perry.Philippa is an artist, psychotherapist, agony aunt and TV presenter, but she has become best known for her smash hit book, The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read which sold over 2million copies and spent 41 weeks in the bestseller lists. Thanks to that book, and her agony column in The Observer, she has become known as “the voice of sanity”.Last time we spoke, I remember saying Philippa should turn her particular brand of wisdom to the other relationships in our lives…Well, now she has. In The Book You Want Everyone you Love to read (and maybe a few you don't) Philippa brings her no-nonsense wisdom to everything from how we love, to how we argue or don't (if you're me).Philippa (and her cat Kevin) joined me to talk about how physical ageing sucks, why it took her until she was 50 to realise a thing didn't have to be perfect to be worth doing and how she learnt to ditch the shoulds.

Why hello, everyone! Today, we are joined by one of the UK's most prominent authors, Dolly Alderton. Some of you might be thinking, but wait! You guys have already interviewed Dolly! And you'd be right. Back in 2020, in the depths of lockdown, we spoke to Dolly over Zoom about her life and career. But, given how much we adore her, and given how she was so highly requested by you guys, we thought: why not make her the first person to ever return to Shameless In Conversation? But this is an In Conversation episode with a twist: Of course, Mich asked Dolly about what life has been like in the three years since we last spoke, but given she's the ultimate Agony Aunt (or sister), we also wanted to pick her brain on your big life dilemmas. We did a callout and asked you what you needed Dolly's advice on, so today, we opened the Shameless Mailbag and put Dolly's marvelous mind to work. To pre-order Dolly's new book, Good Material, head here. This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee. Big thanks to Webjet for making this episode possible.

Season 6 - Episode 18Greetings, fellow paranormal enthusiasts! In this week's episode, Linda's been busy dealing with her exhibitionist neighbour – seems like not all men are Adonises like yours truly. Also, the spooky hotline has been buzzing like a ghost in a phone booth, and this week, we've received a call from none other than Christopher Lee. A bona fide celebrity spirit!The paranormal pandemonium continues as we delve into the problem pages of Fate and Fortune magazine. There's a tale of a woman grappling with a difficult decision about surgery. The solution offered by Jane, our resident Agony Aunt? Well, it's a bit of a cop-out, to be honest, but who are we to judge?Meanwhile, over at Erskine Court, my flat has been transformed into a bizarre love triangle. As Eric comes for a second flat viewing, Ruth welcomes him dressed as a Disney mermaid, complete with a home-cooked omelette! I swear, if I don't get rid of Ruth soon, my flat will remain unsold!Our guest this week, MJ, shares an eerie tale of a room haunted by a restless spirit in Hull. Instead of running scared, MJ boldly asked the ghost to share the space, and let's just say the outcome was unexpected. This has to be the first time I've heard about a Quaker ghost – do they serve morning porridge, I wonder?We delve into the world of antiques and the spirits they might house. From my mum's stamp collection to eerie old furniture, we discuss whether the past can indeed linger in objects.We wrap things up with a couple of legends in the comedy world: Mick Miller and Nipper Thomas. Nipper shares a bone-chilling tale of a derelict monastery haunted by a troubled monk. It's a tale you don't want to miss.Stay spooky.

Hey Lifers! First up today, we unpack all of the terms that you hate, and, ahhh we might need to amend our vocabulary! There's also a woman who fell in love with the man who robbed her (yep, we checked. The article isn't satire). Vibes for this week:Laura: The Deepest Breath on Netflix Britt: We the Wild Plant Care Keeshia: To end all war: Oppenheimer & the atomic bomb on Binge Joining the podcast for a special edition of Ask Uncut is sex and relationships educator, social worker, Agony Aunt, author and podcaster Lalala Let Me Explain! Lala is a top secret squirrel and remains completely anonymous online, but unpacking dilemmas and giving top shelf advice is what she does best! Today we jump into these questions: How do you gain confidence with men in public and approach them if you wanna shoot a shot? My boyfriend who I lived with for a year just ended things. I'm currently sharing a bed with my mum, all my belongings are in my car while I wait for my childhood bedroom to be cleared out for me to move back in. I'm also having to find a new job. I genuinely feel so dependent on him like I don't know who I am anymore without him. How do I get back on track?  How important is it for your partner to get along with your friends? Everything else in our relationship is great, my problem is that he doesn't like my friends and becomes closed off and quiet around them. He says they're 'weird' and he is quite judgemental of them.  How big of a red flag is this when everything else is so great? Check out Lala's Instagram!She has a killer pod that you can listen to here!And you can get a copy of her book.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
