Alice Wilkinson is an award winning journalist and author of How to Stay Sane in a House Share - an essential deep-dive into shared living. Every week, join Alice as she jumps into the trials and tribulations of navigating one of the most complex living set ups of the 21st century - a house share and ultimately asks, how do you keep it together when you're living together?
How to Stay Sane in a House Share is a friendly and informed guide to house sharing you have been waiting for. From how to choose the right housemate to navigating conflict when it (inevitably) arises, Alice draws on interviews with experts such as Professor Dunbar, 'The Millennial Therapist' Sara Kubric and more to explore the anxieties that run the lives of young professionals living in house shares to help create a more harmonious home.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
