f you missed this episode, here’s a bite-sized best bit. In this episode we unpack gossip groups, online criticism and why we’re often so quick to judge what we see on social media. We talk boundaries, trolls, grief and the importance of remembering that we’re only ever seeing a tiny piece of someone else’s life.

On this bestie advice segment we're talking about the birthday you're dreading. Our listener is a week out and already bracing for the let down because she's the one who remembers everyone else's day, finds the perfect gift, plans the thing. And nobody plans for her. She's not being petty, she's exhausted from being the giver in every direction and never the one being held. Bestie, this isn't about the presents. This is about being seen.

On this bestie advice segment we're holding space for a woman who has already survived more than most people could imagine. She escaped an abusive marriage with two babies, one of them medically complex, and rebuilt a life she genuinely loves. Now her fiancé's 13 year old daughter has been diagnosed with bone cancer and she's watching the man she adores go through the worst thing a parent can face — while carrying everything else on her own shoulders. She's not asking for anything for herself. She's asking how to hold him. Bestie, we need to talk about who's holding you.

On this weeks she rises podcast… the mental load, the guilt and the pressure that quietly sits on every mum's shoulders.

If you missed this episode, here’s a bite-sized best bit. It’s easy to look at someone who seems confident and assume they’ve always been that way. But what if you’re only seeing the end result?

In this episode we unpack projection, the assumptions we make about other people, and what it really took for them to become comfortable being seen, speaking up and owning who they are. From social anxiety and desperately wanting to fit in to finally feeling at ease in their own skin, this is a reminder that you rarely know the work that’s happened behind the scenes.

On this bestie advice segment… seven years in and she's still walking on eggshells in her own home. She's fought for her step daughter, loved her like her own and copped years of drama from an ex who won't let go, all while her partner stays silent. Now she's exhausted, anxious and only happy half the time. How do you keep loving a child who's been turned against you? And what happens when the person who should be protecting you won't step in?

On this weeks bestie advice segment we're sitting with a listener who's been in the same relationship since she was 16. She's 27 now, two kids, and she's realising she's never actually been an adult on her own. She does everything for that house  the cooking, the cleaning, the work, the school runs, the love, the effort and gets none of it back. When she tries to speak up she's shut down, avoided, or somehow turned into the villain. Now there's a girl from her old job showing up on his phone and she doesn't know what to do. Bestie, before we talk about him, we need to talk about you.

If you missed this episode, here’s a bite-sized best bit. Sometimes friendships don’t end with a huge fight — you simply grow in different directions. In this episode we talk about when a friendship no longer feels aligned, how to know whether it deserves an honest conversation, and what to actually say when it’s time to let someone go.

We explore the emotional side of friendship breakups, the importance of closure, and why ending a relationship with honesty and respect can sometimes be the kindest thing you can do.
