Steph & Laura

Hi!! What are we oversharing today?

We're breaking the recommendation rules... we saw Verity, and we have THOUGHTS.
Then we’re asking: Is facing life with urgency actually good for us? We’re getting into why we’re always rushing, and whether everything really needs to be done right now. Finally, we're talking all things Margot Ackerly (...Robbie). Laura has some strong feelings about it, while Steph and Laura share their very different reasons for changing, or not changing, their names after marriage. Plus, we asked YOU what you think about taking your partner's name when you tie the knot.

What are we oversharing today?

Steph has realised she’s suddenly into Dancing With The Stars… and we have one very important question: have we officially aged up? We’re unpacking the tell-tale signs that you’re entering your *older* era, sharing our personal giveaways and hearing yours too.

Then, we get into the big relationship debate: should your husband be your best friend? A viral piece from The Cut introduced us to the phenomenon of “mankeeping” and, naturally, we have thoughts.

In this episode, Steph recommended The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and Laura recommended Crew Girl.

Hi!! What are we oversharing today?

Well… we dive into the wide world of burner accounts and rogue internet activity, revealing some of our biggest internet secrets before we turn the tables and unpack yours! Then, we dissect the viral dating non-negotiables list and reveal our own… Laura isn’t stoked to find out she isn’t Steph’s perfect man.

Dr Fatima Khan is a women’s health doctor. She has trained in psychiatry, obstetrics and gynaecology, and general practice and has an Advanced Certificate in Menopause Care. Fatima is the author of the new “Hormone Health is Mental Health: How perimenopause hijacks your brain — and how to reclaim yourself”.
We loved this title and the concept that hormone health is mental health so we wanted to have Fatima on the podcast to talk about it!
In this episode we speak about the menstrual cycle and what is happening to our hormones at each stage of the cycle, the characteristics of estrogen & progesterone, PMDD, and the importance of small daily practices to support our nervous systems.
