Our lives; unfiltered.
The stories we’re not supposed to tell online. The conversations we have about lockdown breakups, dating apps, the good the bad and the ugly hook up stories, how our friends and family reacted to us taking up pole dance, the shit we’ve had to put up with on social media… and so much more.
Join Sarah, Lucy and Tara every Friday for real and uncensored chats about their lives as millennials in London, trying to figure out what the f**k is going on.

Deepfakes and ai for the girlies
What tf is a deepfake? What do we need to know about ai? And why should we care? This week Sarah and Tara unpick the world of deepfakes and ai, without the tech bro speech. We talk about deepfake p0rn, how ai can be used for good, the current laws surrounding it and more. Plus a little life catch up as usual :)

Diet culture and body image with Tara’s mum
In this episode we chit chat about disordered eating habits, so you might want to skip if you find this triggering.
We have another long episode for you this week! And we’re joined again by the iconic Rina, Tara’s mum. What a treat. We talk about diet culture through the generations, body image changes with age and go off on various tangents / rants. As always.
Hope you love it close friends.

The pressures of ageing
Can we ever rid ourselves of the male gaze when making decisions about plastic surgery? Do we think about growing old positively or negatively? Who are our older role models and why are they important? Does the so called 'ticking time bomb of fertility' scare us? Are we making life decisions based on having kids?
In this episode we cover all of those questions and more. Follow us on IG and let us know if you have anything to add:

Customer Reviews
Your personal stan
This podcast gives me life. Listening to you strong, confident women support and empower each other and yourselves is so inspiring. This is what our friendships should be like- a safe space to discuss anything. Tell it like it is. And grow from our mistakes. It feels like I’m listening to my older sisters or cousins give me life advice and as a young woman at Uni who never had that, it’s just what I needed. Love you all, keep slaying! And special thanks to my own close friend T who first recommended this podcast to me— I now listen religiously :)
Love
I have listened every single week. These girls have opened up so much conversation between my boyfriend & I - my friends & I. And it’s so special to be able to relate to girls from all the way across the world. This pod has shown me how small the world really is in terms of being able to find your tribe. Can’t wait for more. So grateful for it!!!
Nobs here!!
I love listening to you guys!! I also have the podcast on while my boyfriend is around and he really likes it. Thank you for making my Fridays extra exciting!!
