In this episode, we dive into the quirky meanings behind our surnames and the stories they tell. Toni and Lisa share the ups and downs of reclaiming their maiden names, reflecting on how traces of their former names lingered, popping up in unexpected places like little echoes of a past life. Steph opens up about her choice to adopt her married name, seeing it as a meaningful part of her journey and evolution. Together, we discuss the tradition and expectation of name-changing, asking if this "honourable thing we do" still holds the same weight today.

In this episode, we set out to chat about Steph's upcoming surname change after nearly two years of marriage, but as conversations often go, we took a detour! We ended up diving into the significance of our first names, discussing the tradition of celebrating saint name days, and sharing personal stories about how our grandmothers lovingly "adjusted" our names to suit their own pronunciations. Join us for a heartfelt and humorous exploration of names, identity, and family quirks that make us who we are!

In this powerful episode, we open up about the tough experiences that shaped our school years. From standing in the corner, getting the strap, to the sting of public humiliation in front of classmates and teachers, we explore the painful memories that many of us carry long after the bell rings.

We dive into stories of school performances that turned into nightmares, relentless bullying, and moments that made us feel isolated and ashamed. It’s a raw, honest look at the resilience it takes to move past these early traumas, and how sharing our experiences can be a step toward healing. Join us as we confront these memories and hopefully find a little bit of closure together.

In this episode, Toni and Lisa dive into the unforgettable memories of their first jobs and the unexpected lessons they were taught. For Toni, it was working at a fruit shop, where the produce wasn’t the only thing ripe for a first kiss while Lisa’s first gig was as a checkout chick at Tuckerbag - a blast from the past that left Steph stumped, asking, “What’s Tuckerbag?”

And then there’s the hilarious story of Lisa’s talkative nature getting her reassigned from the register to the meat room, where it was all dead silence…literally! Join us for a journey back to simpler times, complete with teenage crushes, generational laughs, and the things we learned when life first handed us a paycheck.

This topic was covered in a very different way, normally it is Toni and Lisa who are giving Steph advice, but in this episode Steph gives Toni an insight on how her relationship with her daughter will change as they both get older. Toni worries that as she gets older her kids won't want to hang out with her anymore and Steph shares how she and her mother have got closer over the years.

We talk about how your relationship with your parents changes over the years and start to appreciate them more.

We cover off a bit in this episode, we pick up with Steph talking about breaking up with a guy via text and how it was easier for her to do it that way, Lisa has deleted her Bumble account (much to Toni's relief, because she's now hoping this will stop the girls hassling her to get on Bumble...hahaha) and then we talk about how adult friendships can come together through our kids and remain even when our kids friendships grow apart. Toni’s best friends are the parents of boys her son went to school with and while the boys don’t hang out like they used to the mums do!

Mention the word ghosting and the first thing that comes to mind is that someone you were romantically involved with or wanted to be romantically involved with has cut all forms of communication with you without explanation, but besides romantic ghosting there are many other forms of ghosting.

Professional ghosting: When a company or potential employer stops communicating with a candidate during the hiring process or when a colleague disappears from professional interactions.

Digital ghosting: This happens in online interactions—someone stops replying to messages or engaging with you on social media platforms.

Situational ghosting: When someone drops contact after a particular event or situation, like after a specific conversation or disagreement.

Breadcrumb ghosting: When the person doesn’t completely disappear but reduces contact significantly, leaving you uncertain about their intentions (sending occasional texts or likes).

Passive ghosting: When communication gradually fades away without a definitive cutoff, with replies becoming slower until they eventually stop.

and then there is Friendship ghosting: When a friend stops responding or engaging with another friend, often without warning or a clear reason....this is the ghosting we talk about in this episode.
