Dear Nelly
In this hilarious and heartfelt podcast, award-winning comedian Nelly Thomas and guest co-hosts offer sex, relationship and dating advice from the other side of 40. Like many people, Nelly got “Covid Divorced” after a long relationship and not only was it not a disaster, it was best for everyone involved. Turning 40 is something faced with dread by some but Nelly has a different take - this is when you really come into your own. Nelly and her guest co-hosts will help you navigate the highs and lows of break-ups, dating, relationships, sex and everything else in-between. Guest co-hosts so far include Cal Wilson, Harley Breen, Mel Buttle, Scott Brennan and Geraldine Hickey. For info, episodes and to send Nelly a message go to the Dear Nelly website HERE "Thought provoking and brilliant." Sammy J, Comedian "An hilarious combination of humour, wisdom and compassion." Listener "I feel seen." Listener Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
