  • #45: PMS or PMDD? Why You Might Feel Like a Different Person Every Month
    May 8 2025

    Talk to Nichole and Ben.

    If you’ve ever felt like your period turns you into a different person every month, more anxious, more irritable, more emotional you’re not imagining it. And you’re not broken.

    In this third episode of our 4-part Womanhood Through the Ages series, we’re talking about something that impacts far more women than most people realise, but hardly anyone’s talking about it properly: the difference between PMS and PMDD.

    Nichole is joined again by hormone health expert Lorna Driver-Davies to unpack the emotional weight so many women carry around their cycles. The outbursts that don’t feel like you. The low moods you can’t explain. The days where your relationships suffer and even getting through the day feels too hard.

    This isn’t about being dramatic. It’s about real hormone shifts happening in the brain and body ones that can completely change the way you think, feel, and connect with others. And the more we understand what’s going on, the more we can support ourselves and the people we love.

    This episode is raw, honest, and filled with practical ways to get the support you deserve, because no woman should feel like she’s surviving her own body every month.

    If you’ve ever found yourself counting down the days, bracing for the next wave, or wondering, “Is this normal?” please, listen to this. It could change everything.

  • #44: Feeling Like Roommates Instead of Lovers? Here’s What You Need to Know
    May 1 2025

    Talk to Nichole and Ben.

    Is Love Enough to Save a Disconnected Relationship?

    You can love someone deeply and still feel completely disconnected from them.

    In this episode, Nichole and Ben answer a powerful letter from a listener who describes what so many couples live but rarely say out loud: life looks good on the outside, but inside, the spark, the laughter, the connection—it’s slipping away.

    They explore what happens when love isn’t the problem, but distance quietly takes over, why so many couples end up feeling more like housemates than partners, and what it actually takes to find your way back.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether love alone is enough to save your relationship, or what to do when you’re stuck in the slow fade, this conversation is for you.

  • #43: If You Feel Flat, Foggy & Off—It’s Not Just Mum Life (Here’s What’s Really Going On)
    Apr 24 2025

    Talk to Nichole and Ben.

    This is Part 2 of our 4-part mini-series Womanhood Through the Ages, and this week we’re talking about a season of motherhood that rarely gets the attention it deserves: the toddler and preschool years.

    You’re out of the newborn phase, but still completely shattered. You feel foggy, low, maybe even like a stranger to yourself—and most people tell you it’s just part of having little kids. But what if it’s not?

    In this episode, Nichole is joined again by women’s hormone expert Lorna Driver-Davies to unpack what’s really going on behind the exhaustion. They explore the hormonal shifts that happen during this phase, the impact of chronic stress and sleep deprivation, and why so many mums feel flat or emotionally disconnected—and don’t bounce back the way they expected to.

    If you’ve been feeling “off” and wondering whether it’s just tiredness or something deeper, this conversation will give you answers, relief, and a way forward.

  • #42: Is Instagram Wrecking Your Relationship? Why Social Media Is Fueling Disconnection, Microcheating & Anxiety
    Apr 17 2025

    Talk to Nichole and Ben.

    You open Instagram for a quick scroll... and suddenly you’re spiraling.
    Someone else’s relationship looks more romantic. Their kids look more well-behaved. Their home is cleaner, their life more “together.”

    You’re not alone.

    In this episode, Nichole and Ben get real about how social media is quietly rewiring the way we think about love, marriage, and parenting. From the toxic pull of comparison culture to the rise of microcheating, they unpack the silent ways our online lives are messing with our real ones.

    They talk honestly about how we’ve started measuring our relationships by curated posts, not real connection—and how easy it is to start feeling like you’re falling short in your marriage, your family, or your life.

    If you've ever looked at your screen and thought, “Why don’t I have that?” or felt guilt, resentment, or anxiety after seeing someone else’s “perfect” day, this conversation is for you.

    Because the truth is, the grass isn’t greener. You’re just distracted.
    And what you have? It might already be enough—if you’d stop scrolling long enough to see it.

  • #41: Womanhood Through The Ages: The Truth About Teenage Girls and Hormones
    Apr 10 2025

    Talk to Nichole and Ben.

    We’re kicking off our special mini-series Womanhood Through the Ages with a topic that affects every family: the teenage years.

    Nichole is joined by clinical nutritional therapist Lorna Driver-Davies to unpack what’s actually happening hormonally for teen girls. Spoiler: it’s not just mood swings. Lorna shares surprising insights about how long adolescence really lasts, how hormones affect brain development and mental health, and what we can do to support girls during this time.

    She also gives brilliant, practical advice on nutrition and supplements to help support hormonal health—and how to tell when something more serious might be going on.

    This is one for every parent, teacher, or anyone supporting a teenage girl.

  • #40: You’re Not Just Tired—You’re Carrying Everything: The Mental Load in Marriage
    Apr 3 2025

    Talk to Nichole and Ben.

    You love each other. You share a life, maybe a mortgage, probably kids… but lately it feels like your relationship has turned into a never-ending to-do list.

    In this episode, Nichole and Ben are talking about the invisible weight so many long-term partners carry—the mental load. From meal planning to dentist appointments to remembering every single birthday card, one partner often becomes the default “manager” of the household. And that imbalance doesn’t just cause exhaustion—it kills intimacy and breeds quiet resentment.

    Research shows that mothers take on over 70% of the mental load, even in homes where both parents work full time. That’s not just unfair—it’s unsustainable.

    Nichole breaks down what the mental load actually is, how it slowly shifts your relationship dynamic, and what couples can do to rebalance the emotional labour and reconnect as equals—not co-workers.

    If you’ve ever thought, “We’re fine… but I’m exhausted”—this episode is for you.
