Dark and Twisty Sisters Shaena Jasmat & Lisa Pitt

A short and sweet episode from us this week.

In this episode we catch up on the last couple of weeks and check in to see how Lisa has been getting on with the sober experiment!

And the answer is - pretty well, so well in fact that Lisa is taking up a new role as a Fitness Ambassador for Bee Sober starting with two online classes each week!

It's also Shae's birthday this week so we talk about her second sober birthday!

So if you fancy a quick catch up, grab a cuppa and settle in for 20 minutes or so.

The one with Bee Sober.

This week we were joined by Alex and Lisa from Bee Sober…for the second time.

You’ll only hear one episode but we have recorded two. You’ll have to listen to find out why.

We had so much fun recording this. Hearing about Lisa and Alex the early teenage years, what they got up to while they were apart and what brought them back together.

And of course they tell us all about Bee Sober, The Sober Experiment and how two northern piss head besties now run one of the biggest and best sober communities in the UK.

In this episode we chat to Laura, Lisa’s older sister.

In Lisa’s words and by Laura’s own admission, she’s lived a rather colourful life, and now that she is reaching the milestone of 50, she chats to us about her journey to sobriety, being a mum to 4 children and taking on a law degree over lockdown.

She also talks candidly about her struggles with mental and physical health, including a life saving operation earlier this year.

If you want an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity and life starting at 50, then this is the episode for you!

And we even hear Lisa give her sister a compliment, which is frankly unheard of!

We hope you enjoy the episode and listening to our chatter.

The one with the Brummie Ballet Dancer.

For our first guest episode of season 2 we were joined by the lovely Leanne who Shae met through the sober Instagram community.

When her life as a professional ballet dancer got cut short, Leanne got busy. Really busy. She worked hard and partied harder. On the outside she was buzzing but on the inside things were very different.

And then along came Darcy. Her amazing warrior baby who turned her world upside down in the best possible way.

Leaane shares so much of her story which at times has been heartbreakingly painful. She talks so openly about her addictions, life as a single Mum and all her ups and downs.

There were tears. Lots of tears.

We touch on mental health, suicidal thoughts and drink and drug abuse, so if this may trigger you, please do listen with caution.

We hope you love listening to Leanne's story as much as we did.

We are back for our second season!

In our first episode back the two of us chat about what we have been up to in the break, how we have been handling the latest lockdown and how it feels coming out the other side.

We also chat about our attempted 'Fitcast', turning 40 and Shae's brave skydive (you'll be pleased to know she survived) and our upcoming guests for this season.

We hope you join us for our little chat and future episodes with some more brilliant guests.

A final episode of the first season of the podcast! 

Yes that’s right, your (second) favorite dark and twisty duo are taking a break! For the final episode of our debut season, we caught up with each other and had a bit of a debrief. 



Considering we hadn’t a clue where we were going with this when we started this back in November, we are pretty chuffed with ourselves and how it turned out. Of course we had a bloody brilliant lineup of guests to help us. Six incredibly strong and badass women joined us over the season. 

Each one of them shared some pretty dark stuff, but there was also plenty of twisty laughs in there too! We’ve had a ball doing this podcast and we are so grateful to all of you that have followed us and listened to us. We will be back to spend the summer with you all and have some exciting things in the pipeline so please stick around! In the meantime, thank you to our guests, thank you to our fans and thank you Shonda Rhimes for creating the best two characters without which this podcast would not exist! 

Catch you on the flip side. Lisa & Shae xx
