Divorcée Summer, Dating Yourself & Why Women Are So Angry

Divorcée Summer, Dating Yourself & Why Women Are So Angry

Have you heard that Brat Summer is over and we're now supposedly having a Divorcée Summer? No, neither had Kelly and Louise and they’re not so sure about it. This week they unpack the latest trend celebrating freedom, reinvention and post-breakup confidence. But is the reality of a "Divorcée Summer" as glamorous as social media makes it seem? Louise has also been reflecting on how relationships change our social lives. From the effort that goes into making plans when you're single to the rise of "dating yourself", Kelly and Louise discuss why people in relationships should be mindful that being single doesn’t mean you love spending time alone. Plus, Kelly and Louise are furious to learn that women in the UK are among the angriest in Europe, according to findings from the Hologic Global Women's Health Index [https://hologic.womenshealthindex.com/]. They explore what's driving women's frustration today—from global events and the mental load to the unequal care burden and the pressures of modern life (including some very petty things). Expect cultural commentary, honest conversations and plenty of laughs along the way—because sometimes if you don't laugh, you'll cry.

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.

Kylie Minogue, AI Anxiety & the Demise of the Girl Boss

Grab your gold hot pants because ‘Kylie’ - the deeply personal Netflix documentary about Kylie Minogue - is up for discussion in this episode of Have You Frozen Your Eggs Yet? Kelly and Louise discuss why Kylie’s honesty around relationships, fertility, loneliness, friendships and the expectations placed on women resonated so deeply with them. Also on the podcast, Louise has finally started training for her cross-country race in September, although the Scottish summer midge invasion is threatening to derail proceedings. Plus, Kelly and Louise unpack the growing backlash against AI after online criticism of Reese Witherspoon and Mel Robbins for promoting women to get on board. They discuss the pressure to embrace AI while also wrestling with the ethical and moral concerns surrounding it. The debate leads into a wider conversation about the rise — and apparent fall — of “girl boss” culture. Are women finally rejecting hustle culture and impossible expectations? And are Gen Z approaching work and ambition in a healthier way? Expect thoughtful conversation, strong opinions, cultural commentary 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.

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.
