Let's Chat! send us a message, question or a confession to unpack!

Back in the studio and running on truth serum, we kick off season two with a no-filter catch‑up that spans 40th birthdays, the highs, the midlife burnout, and the joy of choosing memories over things. 

Chrystal’s Bali surprise wasn’t just a trip; it was about friendship, making memories, and letting yourself be celebrated. We unpack what five days away can teach you about rest, mental health, and the power of a short getaway with your girls.

Body autonomy sits at the heart of our chat. We walk through Chrystal’s tummy tuck and breast lift, recovery that surprised the nurses, and laugh about the new “teef” the choice to go natural on veneers rather than chase a fluorescent smile. There’s zero shame and lots of detail: costs in Australia, when overseas surgeons make sense, Rose’s thoughts about getting hers done and the only rule that matters—do it for you. Add in laser hair removal that fixed Rosie’s a hormone-fuelled five o’clock shadow, and you get the theme: find whatever makes life easier and your confidence steadier.

Parenting shifts come in hot as a seventeen-year-old gets her licence and independence kicks up both pride and panic. We talk identity wobbles when kids need you less, plus the practical magic of Bali done right: Uluwatu’s calm, sharing villas, how to do Bali differently, and a rhythm that suits families. Ageing joins the party too, bifocals, blurry menus, and health spirals met with humour and even some real science. Through it all, our  friendship is the anchor: holding boundaries, loosening control, and laughing through the weird bits until clarity returns.

If you’re craving honest talk between two besties about surgery, self-care, travel, hormones, work, growth, and the kind of friendship that keeps you both soft and strong, press play. 

Then share it with someone who needs permission to plan joy.
