About this episode

Happy Mardi Gras lifers! 


We spent the last 4 days attached at the hip on a trip to the Northern Territory together! Are we sick of each other? Absolutely not. Do we have a lot to unpack about our new found closeness, yes. Yes we do.


On today's episode we unpack just how good of a dad Matty J is, according to the media and why are the standards so different for mothers and fathers?!
Then we are joined by the wonderful Ellie Cole!

Ellie is Australia's most decorated female paralympian. She's also a laugh and a half. Ellie had her leg amputated when she was 3 after battling a rare form of cancer. With just one leg she has (literally) been making waves and has played a huge part in shifting the public’s awareness of what living with a disability is like.

In this chat we talk about our expectations of success and whether it brings true happiness, the toll her cancer and then living with a disability took on her family and Ellie not wanting to have to define her sexuality.You can find Ellie here: https://www.instagram.com/elliecoleswim/?hl=en


Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx
