The DJ, the Control Freak & the Incoming Baby... in like 2 weeks, wtf.

This week, I’m joined by my husband Chris for a very honest pre-baby conversation, recorded in that strange limbo where everything is about to change.… but hasn’t yet.

We lay it al out on what it really feels like to stand on the edge of being first time parents and the lurking "uuuraaaghhhh" of what is about to happen.

We get into:

🍼 What having a baby has brought up for us before even arriving

🍼 The different ways we thought about the decision to start a family

🍼 Fear, identity changes, and the pressure to stay “the same”

🍼 Who we hope we can be as parents

This episode is for anyone who's thinking about kids, unsure if they want them, or just fascinated by the moment before a life changing moment.

What happens when you remove the most popular social lubricant and fully meet yourself in your thirties?

In this episode, I’m joined by Emily Syphas, founder of Sober & Social and one of the UK’s leading voices on sober curiosity, hangover-free living and rethinking alcohol in your 30s.

Emily shares her personal journey from heavy drinking in hospitality, to years of full sobriety, to finding a hangover-free relationship with alcohol.

Together, we explore what actually changes when you question the social rules we’ve inherited around drinking, and what clarity replaces the blur.

We get into:

🧠 Sobriety as a journey, not a destination

🧠 Whether hangover-free living is a 30s cheat code

🧠 How alcohol, anxiety and confidence interact

🧠 The clarity that comes to dating and friendships without alcohol

This episode isn’t about quitting drinking. It’s about outgrowing versions of yourself that relied on numbing, distraction or validation and stepping into what comes next.

What if trying to be our best, healthiest, most beautiful selves is actually… stressing us out?

In this episode, I’m joined by Emilie Lavinia, Fitness and Wellbeing Editor at The Independent, to make sense of the ever-expanding world of health, wellbeing and beauty in our thirties.

This is not yet another podcast episode with a list of everything you need to be doing — it's Emilie's stripped-back, honest perspective shaped by years inside the beauty industry.

We get into:

✨ How to spot products with actual research behind them

✨ Why women are ageing under a microscope while men get to call their facelifts “biohacking”

✨ The difference between doing wellness and feeling well

✨ Why going back to basics might be the best wellness glow-up you have

If you’ve ever felt like beauty and wellness is a treadmill where you can't keep up, this episode is your reset.
