Home Truths

CCUK

Home life is messy, expensive, emotional, and rarely matches the version you scroll past on your feed. Home Truths is a proper chat about all of it. From living with your parents and dreaming of the leap, to mortgages, marriage, the quiet panic of milestones, and finding a local dog walking group you actually like. Nav brings the lived experience of an ex-estate agent, renter, homeowner and landlord. Alex brings the view from the family home, working out when (and whether) to make the move. Between them, two generations of honest perspective on the stuff your group chat half-talks about and nobody posts. Sit back, get comfy, and join us for the real Home Truths. 📩 DM us @simplelifehomes — we read everything.

    Bride Bingo! One proposal, one very stressed bride, one series finale

    In the final episode of Home Truths Series 2, Nav throws Alex a bridal shower for one — prosecco, tiara, maid-of-honour-for-the-day energy — and interrogates her on everything wedding. The Croatia venue that flopped. The dress that'll take a year to make. The New York proposal she absolutely didn't see coming. And the football match Casey almost skipped a venue viewing for. The whole crew's in on it too. They've built a bingo card of things Alex is guaranteed to say during the episode — and you can play along at home. They get into: – The New York proposal: Bethesda Fountain, Gossip Girl, and Elvis Presley showing up out of nowhere – Wedding stress: venues, dresses, seating plans and 60-strong Indian family guest lists – The Mr & Mrs quiz Nav ambushed her with (Casey's answers were on record) – Genetic testing, SMA awareness, and why weddings suddenly feel very real – Girl or boy? Toxic intrusive thoughts and Indian cultural expectations – Alex's advice for anyone getting married — and for anyone going to a wedding – Fad or Fab: the wedding trends worth your time and the ones to bin Plus a Home Truth about the day Casey chose Liverpool over a Cotswolds venue viewing. True or false? Stick around for the reveal. 🎯 PLAY ALONG: BRIDE BINGO Tick these off as you listen. Full card, first to five wins: "I can't believe I'm getting married" Alex mentions the honeymoon Alex cries (happy tears count) The proposal story Complains about wedding costs "It's my day, I'll do what I want" Seating plan drama Bridesmaid dresses "Sorted the photographer" A DIY wedding idea "I'm not going to be a Bridezilla" Changed her mind about something Says she doesn't care about a detail (but clearly does) Mentions Pinterest Wedding colours "I just want it to be relaxed" Someone asked about babies Another wedding she went to Groom gets mentioned Reveals a secret about the relationship "We should cut that bit" "This will definitely be in the podcast" Gets roasted by the co-host Terrible first-date story "Oh my god" Shout BINGO at us on Instagram — @simplelifehomes — and tell us which five sent you over the line. 📩 DM us your stories or topic requests ⭐ Loving the show?

    Going viral wasn't the plan: life online, unfiltered - S2 Ep3

    Going viral was never the plan... In episode 3 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex unpack the messy, accidental, sometimes wonderful reality of building a life online. Nav's leftover roast pie hit 4.5 million views overnight. Alex's spa day vlog took off while she had the notifications turned off. Neither of them set out to do this, and neither of them is willing to pretend it's all curated brand trips and free stuff. They get into: What it's actually like being recognised in public (and the awkward John Lewis moment) Why Nav gets criticised for portion sizes and Alex still feels judged on Instagram The Brooklyn Beckham family drama and what it says about privilege The proposed under-16 social media ban (and why they're both for it) Being a "comfort" for strangers vs. a target for trolls The cost of cultural criticism when you come from a community that doesn't always have your back Dream collabs (Gordon Ramsay's butter chicken is involved) And the truth about what they really thought of each other when they first met Plus a Home Truth involving a Ryanair flash mob in Liverpool One, and the return of 'The Neighbour Dispute Court' judging real disputes from parcel-collecting nightmares to recipe theft (Nav's mum is in the dock). 📩 Got a story or a topic for us?
