The Shit Series

I'm Shit at Managing a Child

How many of us have lost our tempers with our children, or tried to calmly problem solve their concerns, only to make things worse! In this episode, we talk about little people's brains - what they need from us - and some handy hints for managing their distress and how to get them to help with chores!

Ep 8: I'm Shit at Sex

In this episode we lean into our discomfort and talk a whole lot about sex! How does our culture and society affect the way we think about sex? How can we get better at communicating about sex - or at sex itself? Join us in our awkwardness (whether you're good at sex or not) to find out more!

Ep 7: I Look Shit

How often do you look in the mirror and think "Wow, I look fantastic"? For us, this does not happen often. In this episode, we tackle the topic of "I look shit". We discuss the biological basis of these thoughts and consider how advertising and social media perpetuates this type of thinking. We'll offer some ideas about how to cope with these thoughts so you can do more of what matters.

Pop-up Episode: I'm Shit at Being in Lockdown

Unfortunately, we are all too familiar with “lockdown”, “self-isolation”, and other things COVID related these days. We decided to do a pop-up episode to share our thoughts about lockdown life. How does this new way of living fit with our biology and what can we do to be kind to our brains during this difficult time?

Ep 6: I'm a Shit Sleeper

In this episode, we change tack slightly and explore the thought “I’m a shit sleeper”. From communal sleeping to clock watching, we discuss all things sleep related. How have our sleep patterns changed since we slept in caves? What can we learn from our ancestors that might help us sleep better now?
