Women Building Their Own Communities, Exam Stress & Pride

Women Building Their Own Communities, Exam Stress & Pride

What if the answer to loneliness, ageing and the pressure to have it all isn't finding the perfect partner—but building a community with your friends? Inspired by the story of 26 women who have come together to create a female-only cohousing project, Kelly and Louise explore friendship, independence and whether living alongside friends could offer an alternative to traditional ideas of family, relationships and ageing.  With exam season in full swing, they also reflect on stress, pressure and the importance of having people around you when life feels overwhelming. Louise shares the unbelievable (and slightly ridiculous) story of needing stitches on the morning of an important exam, while Kelly revisits the childhood incentives that got her through revision season. Plus, Kelly shares a heartwarming story of solidarity between miners and the LGBTQ+ community—a powerful reminder of what can happen when people show up for one another and why community matters more than ever. Expect personal stories, thoughtful conversation and plenty of reflections on stress, friendship, community and the different ways we build meaningful lives.

Does Motherhood Have a PR Problem? & Why ‘Looksmaxxing’ can get in the bin

Apparently older women are keeping rave culture alive - we love to see it, but motherhood, well there’s always something to say about that and just now it’s got a PR problem. As a mum and a non mum, Kelly and Louise unpack the growing conversation around motherhood, identity and the pressure women face to constantly optimise themselves. They discuss how motherhood is portrayed and how comparison culture and unrealistic expectations are making things worse, looking at balance, judgement and the different ways women experience modern life.  They also discuss the TV shows Daddy Issues and Margot's Got Money Troubles, and what they reveal about motherhood, womanhood and societal expectations today. Plus, Kelly dives into the rise of the “looksmaxxing” trend—yes, including the men using hammers on their faces—and Louise does not hold back her thoughts. Expect thoughtful conversation, strong opinions and plenty of questions about the expectations placed on women today. 🎧 Subscribe, leave a rating and share the podcast with a friend — it really helps independent podcasts grow.
