This week on Miss Brightside – The Power of Positivity, we’re doing something a little different… we’re having a good old-fashioned rant. Because yes, I’m all about optimism — but sometimes the most positive thing you can do is let the frustration out of your system.

From snoring husbands during night feeds, to unsolicited parenting advice, LED headlights that could perform laser eye surgery, sun‑bed hoggers, toilet‑roll offenders, and Kevin breathing down your neck in the supermarket queue… we cover the everyday irritations that unite us all.

It’s funny, it’s relatable, and honestly? It’s cathartic.

This episode is your reminder to release the pressure valve, have a rant, have a rave, and feel lighter for it. Deep breath… and go.

In today’s episode, we kick things off with a quick reminder about Clare’s Law—the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme in England and Wales. It’s there to help you stay safe by letting you request information from the police if you’re worried about a partner’s past. A simple search for “Clare’s Law DVDS” will give you everything you need.

Then we switch gears and dive into the fun stuff: my legendary dating nicknames. From Thermal Curtains to Seven Foot Man, my friends and I had a name for everyone. Today’s story? Barry Island—my first-ever date at 19

in future episodes, you get to choose the story: Seven Foot Man, Thermal Curtains, Robo‑Arm, Bob the Car Man, or The Rock Climber.

And don’t worry — the Catfish story is coming later in the year. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.

In this episode of Miss Brightside – Power of Positivity, Lisa dives into the pressures surrounding Valentine’s Day and reminds us that love isn’t limited to romance. She explores the idea of platonic soulmates.

Lisa opens up about her own journey — years of being single, learning who she was, refusing to settle, and discovering the power of self-love. She talks honestly about the emotional ups and downs, the temptation to accept less than you deserve, and the empowerment that comes from setting boundaries and enjoying your own company.

This episode encourages listeners to release the pressure to be in a relationship, to value the friendships and family bonds that shape us, and to prioritise healing and loving ourselves first. Romance is wonderful, but it isn’t everything — and love in all its forms deserves to be celebrated.
