    S3: EP8: Neuro-spicy Sisters

    In line with Neurodiversity Celebration Week Beckie and Rhianna share their neurodiversity stories, talking about everything from school experiences and how this has shaped who they are today, their “best work blag” and how with the recent Instagram trend of having a coffee with your 15 year old self - they are more concerned about messing with the space time continuum than hooking up with their younger self!  If you subscribe (it costs nothing) you get a little notification when our latest episode drop.

    S3 EP7: IVF Fertility Friends

    In this deeply personal episode, Beckie and Rhianna open up about both of their journeys through IVF. They discuss the emotional rollercoaster of infertility, the importance of a positive frame of mind and the heartbreaks of multiple miscarriages. Their candid conversation offers a raw and honest glimpse into their experiences which were both very difficult but sometimes really powerful and heartfelt. There is also, as you might expect one or two unforgettable funny moments. We understand that these topics can be incredibly sensitive, and if this episode isn't right for you, we completely understand; we do discuss IVF and miscarriage.
