Summary

This week, we’re discussing all things adulthood: the good, the bad, and the “oh god, no one’s coming to rescue me.” From the never-ending responsibilities to the realisation that the buck officially stops with you, we’re discussing all what it's like to be a responsible adult (spoiler: it’s exhausting)

We’re also reminding ourselves - and you - why it’s so important to prioritise yourself. Al’s long-overdue facial is officially on the agenda.

Plus, we dive into a listener email with a relationship dilemma and do our best to offer some honest advice (with minimal chaos). Got something you want to ask us? Slide into our inbox: [email protected]

And remember: die, cry, hate (with love) 💌
