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.

    "What are you doing here?" Family matters on Home Truths

    In episode 5 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex thought they were recording a chat about family. What they got instead was two surprise visits, a lot of tears, and stories neither of them wanted told on the internet. Alex's mum Jackie turned up. Nav's cousin Michael turned up. Nobody warned them. They get into: – The ASDA freezer moment that still makes Jackie cry laughing – Nav's most embarrassing crush and Alex's Harry Styles moment – Being raised by a strong, independent mum — and why Jackie wanted her girls to never need a man – Jackie's cancer journey, and the one thing she was worried about the night she got diagnosed – Losing a parent, residual trauma, and why the aftermath is worse than the event – Middle-child syndrome (Alex is passionate about this one) – Being the "different" cousin in an Indian family — and the childhood comment Nav still remembers – The infamous Manchester Valentine's Day disaster involving a locked door, 30,000 steps in pyjamas, and £500 worth of contact lenses being drunk Plus a Home Truth reveal involving a wheelchair, a flight of stairs, and Nav's sister doing it twice. And a special video message from Nav's uncle and auntie somewhere on a cruise ship. 📩 DM us your stories or topic requests: @simplelifehomes ⭐ Loving the show? A 5-star review genuinely helps us out.

    Digital detox, doom scrolling, or a full social media ban?

    In episode 4 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex go offline, well, sort of. They're talking phone addiction, doom scrolling, and where the line should sit between personal habit and outright social media ban, all while painting portraits of each other in real time. (Spoiler: Nav got an F in GCSE art. It shows.) They get into: Nav's confession of a 2.5-hour doom scroll that ate her whole evening Why "AA for phones" might genuinely be the next form of therapy Kids, iPads and the under-16 social media ban - is it the right call? The blurred line between work hours and home hours when your office is your sofa Why couples are sitting in separate rooms with separate screens The 70/30 rule, phone-free mornings, and the hour before bed And why filming a concert isn't the same as being at one Plus a Home Truth involving Zanzibar, scrubs, and a fainting incident no one saw coming. Stick around for the verdict on who paints better (it's not Nav). 📩 Got a story or a topic for us? DM @simplelifehomes on Instagram. ⭐ Loving the show? A 5-star review genuinely helps us out.

    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?

    Millennials vs. the milestone myth - is 30 what you think it is?

    Your 30s aren't a deadline — they're a decade. In episode 2 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex get into the pressure of hitting "milestones" by a certain age. Marriage, mortgage, kids, career and why so much of it is noise. Nav reflects on the back end of her 30s, the crossroads between corporate and creative, and the regret she didn't see coming. Alex talks about why she's still at home despite having the deposit, the maths nobody shows you on social media, and turning 30 without dread. They also cover: Why "failure" feels different when you grow up in an immigrant family The generational gap on house buying (and why your parents' advice doesn't translate) Cultural expectations vs. the new normal Becoming more assertive in your late 30s Why social media validation is a trap The one piece of advice they'd give their 20s selves Plus a round of Fad or Fab — self-care Sundays, capsule wardrobes, plant parenting, health tracker obsession, nostalgia consumption and more — and a Home Truth reveal involving a webbed toe and a possible cover-up. 📩 DM us your stories or topic requests: @simplelifehomes ⭐ If you're enjoying the show, a 5-star review genuinely helps us out.
