How You Got Cold Played and What I Reall...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Hey lifers,

We’re back from holidays! But are holidays really holidays when you have kids and you’re up at 5:30am?Laura has genuinely terrified a young surfer but she’s still got it (from behind).

We took a week off and we are now a renovations/style podcast.
We celebrated reaching 100 million downloads and our 6th birthday!!! We can’t thank you enough for hanging out with us throughout such different phases of our lives!

We speak about the event that has GALVANISED us and ask you how you all got ‘coldplayed’ (how you found out you had been cheated on). Some of your answers were absolutely wild and our eyebrows are still raised.

Women often ask themselves if they want to have children or not but maybe a more important question is ‘is this person the right person to have a child with?’

We unpack this substack written by Mad Bad Tea 

We speak about how most people’s fears before having kids usually center around things like losing your identity or the impact it may have on your career but less focus seems to be on fears around resentment towards your partner for not stepping up to parenthood in an equal way. We speak about how your feelings around motherhood may be most impacted by the partner that you choose to parent with.
