This gives us the ick more than anything else!!! Oct 05, 2025

Show notes

What gives you the ick?! Laura had a conversation with her chiropractor about icks and it inspired us to share ours. And we want to know yours! We’ll pop a question box on our Instagram story on the day this episode comes out. Please send us your icks!

Also! Steph was singing along to a classic 90’s banger with her four-year-old son Harvey when she realised what the lyrics were actually saying and how inappropriate they were. So this week we throwback to some of the most iconic millennial tunes that we innocently sung as kids without realising what we were actually singing.

What the internet took away from Chloe Pink’s wedding day Sep 30, 2025

Show notes

Earlier this year, Chloe Pink married the love of her life, Toby. A few weeks later, when an article about their wedding was shared to Facebook, the comments section was flooded with heinous comments about Chloe’s appearance. Chloe spoke up about the comments, and continues to use her platform to call out fat shaming.

In this episode we sit down with Chloe to speak about her wedding day, how the day was tainted by comments, the pressure of being in a relationship with an AFL player, why she continues to show up online in spite of the comments, and what she has to say about fat shaming in the health & fitness space.

A must-listen episode about dementia with Tully Smyth Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

Dementia is the leading cause of death in Australia. Over 433,300 Australians are living with dementia and an estimated 1.7 million people are involved in caring for someone with dementia. Dementia doesn’t discriminate. This year around 29,000 Australians are estimated to be living with younger-onset dementia, including people in their 30s, 40s and 50s.

Tully Smyth lost her mum to younger-onset dementia in 2019 and now Tully is an ambassador for Dementia Australia.

In this very important episode, we speak with Tully about her mum. Tully shares about her memories with her mum before her diagnosis, the small things Tully and her family started to notice in her mum’s behaviour, and slowly losing her mum over 17 years. Plus Tully shares about her own risk of developing dementia, how that risk changes the way she lives and thinks about her future with her partner, Ned.
