You Don’t Need a Hamster... You Need a Therapist
Join us, Millie and Hannah, as we take on the trials and tribulations of life in our twenties and this crazy world we live in. Each week will bring a new topic for us to unpick, Hannah and Millie-style, so come along for the ride and answer the real question: do you need a hamster or do you just need a therapist?

Your 20s are for career climbing, soul-searching… and apparently, ghosting the people who love you most? This week, Millie and Hannah are diving deep into the weirdly unspoken truth: adult friendships are hard, and no one warns you that maintaining them might feel like a part-time job.
Between forgotten birthdays, scheduling crises, and the ever-present temptation to just hibernate and disassociate, they explore why prioritising yo...
Hot girl summer? More like mildly confused women in a heatwave.
This week, Millie and Hannah attempt to unpack the pressure of the so-called summer glow up—and, spoiler alert: they’re not here for it. With the typical detours, ranging this week from French borders to hormonal difficulties, they discuss the psychological warfare of “bikini body” marketing, they ask the big question: why do we feel like we have to become new people e...
Tough love – do we need it? hate it? love to hate it? This week, Hannah and Millie attempt (and mostly fail) to stay on track while diving into how we give and receive those hard truths. Expect wildly different opinions, and a few emotional potholes as they try to figure out whether tough love actually helps us grow – or just makes us cry!

This week is an important topic for both of us – learning the art of walking away. We know it can be hard so join us to hear our advice on how to know when to go and how we’ve done it. As Gabriella says in High School Musical 3, sometimes you need to just walk away and don’t look back!

...This week we bring you part one of a two-part episode all about taking a break. As the topic got hijacked by discussions of mental health, therapy and Hannah becoming my step mother(?), the episode didn’t end up being quite what we expected when we sat down to record, but we realised the episode we ended up with was equally valuable. So enjoy this first part and join us next Monday when we finish explaining why - you need to take a...
