There’s also our fab fact of the week, Monts reads near death experience sent in from a beautiful listener named Chloe, and lots more. Enjoy! Fancy supporting us on Patreon? Find out more here .

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.

We sat down and recorded before Brooke headed off to see her neurologist. Brooke has had three different types of treatments for MS and none have worked as they would have hoped.

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!

Mel’s torn trying to protect her daughter from dickheads in cars, and we share the stuff we’ve had piffed at us from them.

We also share an email from a beautiful listener around about having a baby when you have chronic health issues. Between the two of us we have five kids and a smorgasbord of health issues so we share how we juggle both. We hope you enjoy this episode.
