One of the questions that comes up regularly, in the Darling Shine community, is how to support someone who is moving through the big life stuff. Like when a friend is dealing with the grief of losing a loved one, or they receive a diagnosis that isn't good, or they've just had a miscarriage... how can you be there in a way that is actually helpful for them? Literally no one better to ask these tough questions, than Mitch Wallis. And this conversation is the perfect blend of helpful, practical advice, mixed with real life experience. Strap yourself in, Darlings. This is a cracker of an ep.

Hours before Chlo flew out for the Ibiza season, her and Ellidy sat down to chat honestly and vulnerably all things new motherhood. You'll hear about: Chloe's recovery and the things she's struggled with in this big life transition The items and products that they are loving in the early days (or, in El's case, loved) The highs and lows and importance of support Surprising things they've learned about being a mother If you're looking for anything mentioned in the episode, check the links below.

After our chat earlier this year, with the amazing Bridget Hustwaite, there was such a huge response from women also suffering this mostly silent disease which affects 1 in 7 of us, that we decided to give this topic more much deserved air time! So Chlo and El reunited with an old high school friend, Elly McGaw, to share her story of living with stage 5 endometriosis and how eating beans (sounds weird, we know) has helped her heal.  Important note: This is in no way intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice.

Chlo and El sit down for the first time since Bobbi's arrival, to unpack their experiences of Chloe's birth together. In true Darling Shine style, there's some seriously touching moments, plus a little side chaos and lols, but beneath it all a bond between two besties that can make it through anything life throws their way.

Get the Kleenex ready, Darlings! Chloe is back from mat leave and ready to unpack the first part of her birth story. In true Darling, Shine style, there were some hiccups with the record and we've had to take a detour from our original plan of a heartfelt conversation between Chlo and Paul, but the end result is beautiful. In this episode, you'll hear Chloe tell her story from top to bottom (literally) and some heartwarming, and hilarious, insights from Daddy FISHER.

As Chloe takes time out to transition into her new role as a mother, we thought it fitting to revisit Ellidy and her journey to motherhood. A couple of months ago, El sat down with Davina Smith, host of the Gidget Foundation podcast "1 in 5 Mothers, 1 in 10 Fathers," and shared openly and honestly about her early days of motherhood and how she navigated it through waves of relentless grief.

As Chloe continues to recover from birth and navigates the transition into new motherhood, we are taking a very brief recording break to allow her to catch her breath. But we didn't want to leave you empty handed, so here's a replay of the interview Chlo and El did with their dynamic duo real life friends, Lucy Jackson and Nikki Westcott (hosts of Happy Hour and co-founders of clothing label, Jagger and Stone) early in 2024.

With Chloe on mat leave, Ellidy sat down with one of their 'chosen family': the ray of sunshine that is Hannah Sugerman. It's officially been four years since Chump passed, and the girls reflect on their friendship and how to support the people you love through grief, before the conversation takes a twist as Hannah unpacks her experience of surviving an avalanche in January. It's a wild story, so strap yourself in!

Chloe is joined on the couch by her friend, Michelle Battersby, to have an open and honest conversation around putting your career first and the anxiety of missing out on motherhood. After putting motherhood on the backburner to focus on her career, Michelle found herself pregnant, at a really pivotal moment in her tech start up, Sunroom (a social media platform that provides women and non-binary people a safe place to share content and be paid for that content). This conversation is a really honest look at women in the workplace and how motherhood can be seen to hold us back.

If you have anyone under 5 in your life, you might know Caterina Mete as the Red Wiggle. Why on earth would Chloe and Ellidy be interviewing a Wiggle? Well, one of the topics that comes up regularly in our facebook group, is having a child on your own. What to do when you're yet to meet a suitable partner but you know without a doubt you want kids? This topic has been on our ideas list for a long time, and when we heard that Caterina was pregnant with twins at 43, after deciding to go it solo via IVF and a sperm donor, we knew this was a conversation we wanted to have.

When it comes to fertility, the focus on finding the issue often falls on the woman. However, the stats show us that male fertility is equally as likely to be the root of the issue. It's time to change this focus on women and balance out this conversation.
