    The Sitdown w/ ThatHairDressaKristin

    Some people build a following online. Others build a whole cast of characters. In this episode, we sit down with Kristin Falcone (aka ThatHairDressaKristin) to talk about the path from hairdresser to social media creator, how her wildly relatable characters came to life, and why humour has become such a powerful way to connect with people. Kristin shares how social media started almost by accident, how her characters (including the unforgettable Carol) took on lives of their own, and how her audience helped fuel her growing wig fund for cancer patients. We get into hair loss, GLP1s, beauty tips (including how to “train” your part) and what harsh comments online can teach you. We also talk about city jobs versus working for yourself, life behind the chair as a hairdresser, client etiquette, tipping, and what it’s like when your salon clients know all your social media characters. And because this show always finds its way there, we get into the bigger stuff too — family dynamics, phobias, finding ways to relax, and building a life that feels a little more your own. Funny, candid, chaotic in the best way… this one feels like hanging out with a friend who tells it exactly as it is.

    The Sitdown w/ Candice Guardino

    In this episode, we sit down with Candice Guardino, the force behind Italian Bred, to talk about the life experiences that shaped her — from growing up in a big, expressive Italian family to turning those moments into comedy, storytelling, and now a growing platform across stage, screen, and writing. Candice shares what it was like being raised in a home where everyone talked (and yelled) at once, and how her grandmother played a huge role in shaping her voice from a young age. That foundation now shows up in everything she creates — raw, honest, and deeply relatable. We also get into the more personal side of her journey. From her upcoming book Confessions of an Italian Bred Girl to her experiences with fertility struggles, IVF, and endometriosis, Candice opens up about topics that aren’t talked about enough — especially when it comes to women’s health and conception. There’s plenty of humour along the way too — from motherhood moments (including Disney trips and bug encounters 😅) to the realities of pregnancy, postpartum changes, and what it really feels like to be a mom. As she puts it, it’s the best kind of tired. From Pilates instructor to performer, writer, and creator, this conversation is about following your path, speaking your truth, and turning real life into something meaningful — and entertaining.

    Rebooting Life: Midlife in the Digital Age

    In this episode, we dive into our love–hate relationship with technology and how deeply it’s embedded into modern life. From favourite gadgets and smart homes to digital frustration and midlife learning curves, we explore whether tech is making life easier—or quietly more complicated. We talk about how everything is becoming digital: taxes, IDs, driver’s licences, banking, even buying a house or a car. And while convenience is at an all-time high, so is overwhelm. There’s also a look at social media’s double edge—connection, opportunity, and education on one side, but also bullying, pressure, and responsibility on the other. Plus, real-life stories around using platforms like Craigslist and Carvana for major purchases. Finally, we ask a bigger question: are we becoming too dependent on technology—and losing skills along the way? What’s inside: Favourite tech, smart devicesDigital living & Wi-Fi relianceMidlife tech learningSocial media pros and consBuying online + real stories If this episode on technology and digital life combined with midlife struck a chord, make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss future conversations on the realities of midlife today.

    The Sitdown w/ Momma Jackie

    Some people cook because they have to, others cook because it’s part of who they are. In this episode, we sit down with Momma Jackie — the TikTok and Instagram creator known for her comforting Italian recipes — to talk about where it all started, how it grew and why cooking still matters in a fast-paced world. Momma Jackie shares how curiosity about making money online turned into something much bigger. Her videos might go viral, but at the heart of it all is something simple: feeding people, getting their reactions, sharing knowledge and keeping traditions alive. Plus, letting everyone know it’s not as hard as it seems! We talk about the real value of cooking at home (saving money as a bonus to that) and the must-have ingredients and spices every kitchen needs while being real all along the way - just like Momma Jackie is in her videos. We also touch on favorite dishes and the ones she’d happily never make — plus little details that make a big difference (like why lemon zest beats lemon juice every time). This one feels like sitting in the kitchen with someone who’s done it all… and still genuinely loves it.

    Beyond the Midlife Crisis: Desires + Dilemmas

    There’s a point in midlife where you start asking yourself different questions. Not “What’s next?”… but “What do I actually want now?” In this episode, we talk about the things we still desire — some simple, some unexpected, some that have been quietly sitting in the background for years. From wanting more rest to dreaming bigger (yes, even writing a book or doing something completely random like getting slimed in Florida), it’s about giving those thoughts space again. We also look back at the things we miss from earlier years and the things we think we could have done then. And then come the dilemmas. The real-life decisions that don’t have clear answers. Work or retire? How involved do you get as a mother-in-law? Do you move your life to be closer to your kids? It’s honest, it’s a bit all over the place (in the best way), and it’s exactly what midlife sounds like when you say things out loud. What’s inside: Life updates and catching up (incl. a hacked bank account and a close call with fire)The things we still desire in midlifeSimple wants vs bigger dreamsLooking back: what we miss from younger yearsReal-life dilemmas with no clear answersWork vs retirementThe kind of mothers-in-law we will beMoving closer to your children — yes or no?The idea of doing something fun together… Vegas? 🎰 Tune in for the raw midlife conversations, the laughs and the stories that could have been a mini-series of their own.

    Windows, Hormones & Fresh Starts: A Midlife Spring

    There’s something about spring that makes you pause… look around… and realise what needs a bit of sorting — in your home and in your life. In this episode, we talk about the shift that comes with a new season, the small annoyances (hello allergies and bugs) and the practical stuff (switching wardrobes, noticing those very dirty windows). We move from everyday moments to bigger conversations because spring brings a shift in mindset too. It feels like the start of a new cycle — a time to check in with yourself, take care of your body, and stay on top of the things that matter. From self-care to those important (and often delayed) appointments like mammograms and gynaecologist visits, this season has a way of nudging you back into looking after yourself properly. (As always, real talk about what this season brings when you’re in midlife.) Of course, we also get into the routines that come with spring like Easter preparations and gifts, birthdays, and even a bit of April Fool’s.

By doing so, she not only normalizes these conversations but also empowers others to embrace their own journeys without shame.

Her humorous and relatable content, including her playful use of terms like "twatapotamus," adds a layer of lightheartedness to serious discussions. This blend of humor and honesty allows her audience to connect with her on a personal level, creating a safe space for dialogue about the challenges and joys of aging.

    The Women Playbook | Tips and Tricks for Women by Women

    Some episodes are deep, some are funny and some feel like sitting around the table swapping the things we wish someone had told us sooner. This one? It’s that. Tips for women by women. We’re sharing the practical stuff — the little tips and tricks that make everyday life smoother. Skincare routines, cooking motivation, the art of folding bed sheets, and yes… the ongoing saga of buying pants online. We also get into budgeting — eating out, subscriptions, and the quiet ways money slips through your fingers if you’re not paying attention. In the middle of it all, we take a moment for Women’s History Month and talk about Mary Anderson — the woman behind the windshield wiper. One of those inventions you never think about… until you really do. And we wrap it up with advice we’d give our younger selves. Some of it practical. Some of it honest. All of it real. Here’s what’s inside: Shower, skincare and feet care products and routinesCooking habitsLaundry, linen and bleaching done rightSmart budgetingA Women’s History Month spotlightThe advice we wish we’d heard sooner It’s useful. It’s relatable. And it’s women sharing what works — without pretending we’ve mastered everything. If you picked up something helpful, don’t forget to like, share and subscribe.
