Midlife: Self-Care or Selfishness?

Crisis Talks: Tiny Joys, Big Difference

This week on Crisis Talks, we’re talking about the small things that pull us back to ourselves when life feels overwhelming. From wildflower meadows and gardening to kind strangers, comforting TV shows, and quiet moments alone, this episode explores the everyday things that bring calm, joy, and perspective. This isn’t about forced positivity or pretending life is perfect. It’s about noticing the tiny moments that soften hard days — and why those moments matter more than we realise. If life has felt noisy, heavy, or relentless lately, this episode is your permission to slow down and reconnect with what makes you feel good. Get a message straight to the show!

Crisis Talks: The Diary Files - Our Teenage Years

This week we're opening the vault and reading from our teenage diaries. What could possibly go wrong? From embarrassing crushes and dramatic friendships to getting into trouble and desperately trying to fit in, we're reliving the highs, lows and utter cringe of being a teenager in the 90s. Looking back, it's hilarious to see how much time we spent worrying about things that don't matter now, but it's also a reminder of just how hard those teenage years can be. We chat about confidence, friendships, relationships, parenting teenagers and why we're actually quite proud of the women we've become. Expect plenty of laughs, a healthy dose of second-hand embarrassment and proof that somehow, despite everything, we turned out alright in the end. Get a message straight to the show!

Then things get interesting as we dust off our diaries from our backpacking days in Australia and relive some of the adventures, questionable decisions and unforgettable memories that helped shape who we are today. Expect plenty of laughs, a few moments of nostalgia and proof that while we've grown up a bit, we're still very much the same people underneath it all. Whether you're reminiscing about your own travels, navigating midlife changes or just fancy a laugh with two friends who've known each other for over 30 years, this one's for you.
