Beckie and Rhianna take a trip back to 23rd March 2020 - full Covid lockdown when nobody was able to leave their homes. We explore how this time really sparked creativity and we share stories of growing veg, new businesses, the making of PPE and how we helped to support the incredible efforts of those on the front lines.

We understand that the pandemic was a period of immense hardship and loss. In this episode, we're sharing some positive memories from that time. Please know that this is not intended to minimise the difficulties, but rather to highlight the resilience and moments of light that also occurred.

In line with Neurodiversity Celebration Week Beckie and Rhianna share their neurodiversity stories, talking about everything from school experiences and how this has shaped who they are today, their “best work blag” and how with the recent Instagram trend of having a coffee with your 15 year old self - they are more concerned about messing with the space time continuum than hooking up with their younger self!

In this deeply personal episode, Beckie and Rhianna open up about both of their journeys through IVF.

They discuss the emotional rollercoaster of infertility, the importance of a positive frame of mind and the heartbreaks of multiple miscarriages. Their candid conversation offers a raw and honest glimpse into their experiences which were both very difficult but sometimes really powerful and heartfelt. There is also, as you might expect one or two unforgettable funny moments.

We understand that these topics can be incredibly sensitive, and if this episode isn't right for you, we completely understand; we do discuss IVF and miscarriage. We have provided some useful links below, in the event that you might be looking for some support.

We're BACK! Did you miss us? (We missed you!)

After a little unexpected break, we're jumping right back in with a catch-up on the last few weeks.

We've been battling a bit of illness, kids half term juggle and a house move but we're thrilled to be back in our happy place: recording for you!

This week, get ready for:

Beckie's kitchen renovation as her creative brain gets to work with some exciting upgrades with design and planning.

Rhianna's ‘dangerous’ new business venture (yes, another one!), and a hilarious conversation about the surprisingly common habit of talking to yourself.

Plus, we're exploring the power of positive self-talk and how it can transform your mindset.
