    We have opinions, and as usual, we're not afraid to share them. On what will probably be the first of a series, Ash and Callie are ranting about some of the things that really grind their gears. Under fire in this episode are Mum groups that make you feel bad about yourself, why an omelette is not a pizza and why not having children is perfectly ok, especially when you have a history of an eating disorder.
