As a woman, you’re perfectly imperfect, overworked and seriously misunderstood. You’ve got the shits with your family, your boss is a ‘Grade A Dick’ and all you want is to sail away with P!nk to a deserted island and eat sourdough. Bliss! Oh don’t forget self-care – add it to the bloody list. But let's face it, we’re the smarter species and live longer.

Shanelle and Tamara navigate the steep learning curve of life’s shit storm, giving you permission to stop, feel heard, and pour your beverage of choice. Spoken with humour, heart and truth, it’s survival of the fittest, and nobody’s winning.

If laughter is your tonic and you’re flying by the seat of your pants, this podcast is for you. (And also for those brave blokes who dare to listen).
