S2 Ep15: The Truth About Modern Womanhood – Don’t Touch It | Ashley James

On this week’s episode of Don’t Touch It, I’m joined by broadcaster, DJ and Sunday Times bestselling author Ashley James 🤍 We go into detail about her new book Bimbo and the conversations it opens up around internalised misogyny and how we can unpick it in everyday life. Ashley also shares her thoughts on how the patriarchy impacts on not just women, but men too, and why these patterns show up in the way we think, behave and relate to each other. We also get into the cost of childcare questioning why its so expensive and the effect that has on families, as well as a chat about sex in long-term relationships and how that evolves over time. This is a really open, thought-provoking conversation that touches on so many important and often unspoken topics.

Welcome to Don’t Touch It – named after my now-infamous catchphrase (yes, the one I say every morning while making my sacred cup of tea on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok). I wanted to bring that cozy, connected feeling of sharing a cuppa with a good friend to life – and that’s exactly what this podcast is all about. In each episode, I sit down with my closest pals for real, unfiltered conversations. We chat about everything – not just parenting (though that comes up!), but also relationships, identity, and all the things we’ve been dying to say out loud. It’s raw, honest, and feels just like hanging out with your best mates. So, grab your tea (and don’t touch mine) – let’s talk. https://www.instagram.com/donttouchitpod/ https://www.tiktok.com/@donttouchit.pod

S2 Ep14: The Reality of ADHD, Identity & Mental Health – Don’t Touch It | Toby & Mikey

On this week’s episode I was joined by the lovely Toby and Mikey!! As a disclaimer this was filmed in April and as we all know mental health can change but this was a really open and unfiltered conversation. We talk about mental health and living with an ADHD diagnosis, including the reality of finding the right medication and how much that can affect day to day life. We get into relationships from dating an older guy, and what it was like feeling the need to pretend to be straight. Mikey also speaks about his experience with having a stroke and we finish things off with a chat on the side of being online that people don’t tend to see, like feeling lost, questioning what you’re doing, and whether any of it actually means anything.
