This week we are keeping it in the family Arianna joins me for another completely unqualified discussion about basically everything.

We’re talking about being Irish and what comes with it 🇮🇪, the viral Mallorca holiday affair (because apparently just going on holiday isn’t dramatic enough), and the ridiculous number of photos it takes to get ONE decent selfie.

We get into whether teachers deserve all the shit they get, why perfectly normal people seem to completely lose their minds the second they enter an airport, and whether Mrs Hinch and the cleaning crew have convinced us all that our houses should look like nobody actually lives in them.

Then there’s the small matter of marriage, work, kids and somehow still trying to have a life. Do you ever actually get the balance right, or are we all just winging it and hoping nobody notices?

And, of course, social media and the “perfect life.”

Are trad wives living the dream or taking us back 70 years? Are celebrities showing off their designer bags and watches… or are we just jealous bitches? 😂 How much of our lives are we wasting scrolling? And why do we need 47 attempts, three different angles and perfect lighting just to upload one “casual” selfie?

Most importantly: would either of us last five minutes as a trad wife?

Spoiler: probably not.

Plus, we finish with our Shit Show of the Week 💩 because behind every perfect Instagram life is probably a screaming child, a pile of washing and someone quietly losing their fucking mind.

This week I’m joined by the lovely Angela for a brilliant conversation about family, adventure, Italy, opera, getting older, and making the most of life while we bloody well can.

Angela has one of those outlooks on life that I absolutely love: one day it will be our last, so why keep putting everything off until “one day”?

We talk about packing in the holidays and making memories, her recent climb up Snowdon, and life in a rather wonderful family setup where three generations share a courtyard along with 10 acres, horses, dogs and, I suspect, absolutely no shortage of chaos.

Then we head to Italy 🇮🇹 for stories of Rome, Florence, art, food, wine and the incredible experience of seeing Aida at the Verona Arena. We also chat about family life, work, being forced to slow down after an operation, and whether any of us are actually capable of listening when our bodies tell us to stop.

And because Angela admits her celebrity knowledge is absolutely shocking, naturally left those subjects alone and focused on life and joy.

Plus, Angela reveals her Shit Show of the Week,

It’s warm, funny and refreshingly down-to-earth a conversation about family, experiences, getting older and remembering what actually matters.
