Dear Nelly Nelly Thomas

Michelle Sheppard: I respect you to much to have sex with you! (WTAF)Michelle Sheppard is a leader in the realm of gender equity. Her own path as a transgender woman has given her a unique perspective, providing her with insightful insights into the complex issues of gender bridging. In recognition of her extraordinary contributions, Michelle was inducted into the Victorian Museum of Women and honoured with a coveted spot in the 2023 Victorian Honour Roll of Women as a Change Agent. In today's episode, Michelle and Nelly GET AMONGST IT: her two young marriages as a "Mid-West Gentleman" and then later, dating as a trans woman. We talk about some shitful experiences on the dating apps and, some good ones (spoiler alert: she found her sweetpea there). Nelly and Michelle take a call on how to talk to kids after divorce (TW: family violence is mentioned) and ultimately, how to keep the focus on the kiddos. Michelle has multiple "ten... but" dealbreakers and some spicy stuff from ex's. A terrific episode with a thoughtful and fascinating woman.

Danny Blay is back for Sloppy Seconds: how will your house SOUND when it is empty?Danny Blay is a wonderful man who works in behaviour change with men who use violence against women and children. Nelly and Danny have worked together for many years in the violence prevention space and are now mates. Danny is a very dedicated father and his kids have recently moved out of home. Nelly and Danny talk about how the "empty nest" hit him so hard. Nelly and Danny also take a listener letter from a mum whose grown, adult son is potentially an abusive husband and, a call from a woman who has been "sitting in the sh*t" for 12 years after a toxic relationship. This is a sometimes heavy but moving episode with a laugh here and there!

Chris Ryan is back for Sloppy Seconds and thinks we're kidding ourselves about ENM!Comedian Chris Ryan joined us a while ago to share her terrible heartbreak after a long-distance relationship ended. She's back with a lovely update on that front and, some firm opinions on our listener questions. A caller asks if she MUST use the apps to date (spoiler alert: no) and a letter-writer seemingly asks for permission to go ENM even though her husband said no. Chris has some firm views on that. Chris asks Nelly an in-depth question and, talks to us about how she thinks we're too quick to dispose of relationships these days. As always, a forthright and funny episode with a feisty broad. Enjoy!
