    Has MAFS Completely Lost The Plot This Season?

    We can’t believe this is just us, but why does everyone on MAFS feel completely unhinged this season?This week, we’re back in our comfort zone and overthinking Married at First Sight. From instant red flags and forced attraction, to chaotic dinner parties, weird power moves and couples who clearly should never have been matched in the first place, we’re sharing all our opinions on this year’s cast. In this episode, we talk about whether attraction can actually grow if it is not there at the start, why some people seem to mistake peace for boredom, and whether reality TV deliberately matches people with emotional baggage just to create drama. We also get into the contestants we secretly love, the ones we absolutely do not trust, and the strange way some people seem more interested in airtime than actual connection. We also discuss toxic relationships, insecurity, projection, traditional values, whether certain cast members are being set up as villains on purpose, and why some of this season feels so intense that it almost seems scripted. Plus, we get into the messy spoilers, the behind-the-scenes rumours, and the contestants who make us change our minds every five minutes. Tune in if you’re watching MAFS and shouting at the TV, obsessing over who is genuine and who is performing, or wondering whether anyone on this show is actually ready for marriage. 👋 Join the conversation: Which couple are you rooting for, and who do you think should never have been matched?

    Why Can't We Manifest What We Want?

    We can’t believe this is just us, but why does it feel like we can manifest everything… except the good stuff? We’re overthinking manifestation, the pressure to “think positive”, and why it somehow feels easier to spiral into worst-case scenarios than attract anything we actually want. From trying to manifest dream houses and lottery wins, to accidentally manifesting bad days without even trying, we unpack where we might be going wrong. In this episode, we get honest about doubt creeping in mid-manifestation, the pressure to always be in the “right mindset”, and how exhausting it feels to constantly monitor your thoughts. We also talk about visualising your dream life only to immediately question how you’d afford it, whether manifesting is actually realistic when you’re busy and stressed, and why it sometimes feels like everyone else has cracked the code except you. Tune in if you’ve ever tried to manifest something and felt like you sabotaged it within seconds, questioned whether you’re “doing it right”, or wondered why manifesting the bad stuff seems so much easier than the good. 👋 Join the conversation: Do you believe in manifesting, or do you think it’s all a bit unrealistic?

    When did being online mean I owe you a reply? The pressure to always be available

    We can’t believe this is just us, but when did being online mean you owe people an instant reply?We’re overthinking the pressure to always be available and how messaging somehow turned into a 24/7 expectation. From the anxiety of leaving someone on read, to the silent judgement when you don’t reply straight away, we unpack why simply being “online” suddenly feels like you’re expected to respond.In this episode, we get honest about reply time guilt, the paranoia of seeing someone typing and then stopping, and why being online doesn’t actually mean you’re ready to have a conversation. We also talk about work chats, voice notes, missed calls that feel like emergencies but aren’t, and the weird hypocrisy of expecting quick replies while taking hours ourselves.Tune in if you’ve ever worried someone thinks you’re ignoring them, felt pressure to reply instantly just because you were online, or wondered when messaging stopped being “reply when you can” and started feeling like a live chat service.👋 Join the conversation: Do you feel pressure to reply straight away, or are you firmly in the “I’ll reply when I’m ready” camp?

    Quicksand, Bloody Mary and Other Childhood Terrors That Ruined Our Sleep

  6. Misogyny in Schools? Can You Spot It in an 8-Year-Old?

    Misogyny in Schools? Can You Spot It in an 8-Year-Old?

    This week, we started with one question and somehow ended up in pigeon-related financial trauma and the Beckham family group chat from hell. We’re talking about the push to train teachers to spot misogyny in schools, and asking the obvious question: what is a teacher even meant to be looking for in an eight-year-old? Is it misogyny, sexism, or just kids being annoying little weirdos? From “girls can’t be superheroes” to “refusing to share Lego”, we try to work out where the line is, whether labelling kids too early helps anyone, and why it sometimes feels like we’re warning boys about becoming bad men instead of actually teaching them how to be strong, capable ones. Then we take a sharp but short turn into viral culture chaos with the Brooklyn Beckham drama, the language being used, why the woman always gets blamed, and why the press backing someone today means absolutely nothing tomorrow. Swearing, blunt opinions, and dry laughs included. As always. Misogyny vs sexism, and why it gets messy fast Can teachers realistically spot misogyny in primary school kids? “Is this misogyny or just being eight?” (Lego, superheroes, “girls smell”) What we should actually be teaching boys (responsibility, resilience, capability) The comeback debate: polite responses vs “f off, you loser” Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz, Victoria and David Beckham, and why nobody ever knows the truth The media cycle and why women always take the hit first We briefly reference sexual violence in the context of a past public awareness advert.

  7. This year, we're done

    This year, we're done

    Everyone’s talking about New Year’s resolutions. In this new season of the She Gets It From Me podcast, we’re talking about what we’re done tolerating. This episode is about the quiet shifts that happen when you stop explaining yourself, stop carrying other people’s nonsense, and stop pretending you’re fine. No reset. No reinvention. Just where we’re actually at. If January makes you feel pressured instead of hopeful, you’re not alone. This one’s for you. And sorry, we do have a little catch-up first regarding the chaos and illness joys of Christmas, but we are sure you will relate! Key takeaways in this episode: Christmas can be lovely and still absolutely knackering. Both things can be true. Being ill has a way of ruining plans and reminding you how little control you actually have. New Year’s resolutions often feel less like choice and more like pressure. Everyone suddenly decides they need to “sort themselves out” in January, whether it makes sense or not. We’re encouraged to want everything now, which makes it harder to sit with real life as it is. Being present isn’t about mindfulness buzzwords; it’s about not mentally living six weeks ahead. Routine keeps things ticking over, but dreaming is what stops life feeling flat. New Year’s resolutions aren’t new or modern;in the future we’ve been doing this to ourselves for centuries. Life feels better when you stop obsessing over outcomes and actually notice what’s happening along the way. Sometimes making better choices isn’t about discipline, it’s about slowing down and not running yourself into the ground.

  8. Work Christmas Party Horror Stories and How We Found Out Santa Isn’t Real

    12/16/2025

    Work Christmas Party Horror Stories and How We Found Out Santa Isn’t Real

    It’s the She Gets It From Me Christmas special with Layla (Gen X) and Ellie (Gen Z), and we’re a few Proseccos in, so it’s festive chaos from the start. Ellie pulls the funniest work Christmas party stories from Reddit, and we get into office Christmas party behaviour that should have come with a disclaimer, plus why a free bar turns normal colleagues into absolute villains. Then we move on to “when did you find out Santa wasn’t real?” from handwriting giveaways to kids being genuinely terrified of Father Christmas turning up in the night. We also read out our top hate comments, rant about AI thumbnails turning us into strangers, and spiral into beauty standards, ageing, filler and facelifts, and why everyone ends up with the same face. Explicit language. Over 18s. #christmasspecial #christmaspodcast #ukpodcast #workchristmasparty #officechristmasparty #christmasparty #redditstories #santaisntreal #womenspodcast #britishpodcast
