We're in the studio talking about Taylor- who is Matty Healy, why is she dating him, and why should we care? We also talk gentle parenting, the philosophy driving modern approaches to breeding- are we utilising a good way to raise kind and emotionally regulated people, or are we breeding a fresh generation of lily-livered, self-examining snowflakes? We also pay homage to the magnificent Tina Turner and her mark on modern Australian culture- including salivating over NRL players and the Nutbush dance, which apparently nobody else in the world knows or does at every wedding after half a bottle of cheap savvy b. They're missing out. So are you if you miss this episode. Strap yourselves in!

It's the beginning of MICF and we're feeling a bit silly. We talk about where the heck we find energy in this complicated life, online influencers (all the way back to ancient Rome) and where we can find modern day fulfilment. And also ducks. Strap yourselves in!

Hello! We're in the studio! We're a bit cross! We talk about our disappearing act on the request of a few listeners- and why it's all going to be ok, in the studio, forever. We're talking about a woman who has it all, if paying $7000 on laser treatments, sculpting and nail salons can be considered self care. Finally, we talk about some violating recent experiences that have left us feeling both outraged and exhausted. Is anything going to change? Will we stop having so many kids? Why are we yelling?

The end of middle age and projecting on our kids
Good Sheilas
02/23/23 • 48 min
We're in a professional studio! We're in the same city! We're back! Holy dooley! Today we talk middle age- are we allowed to have it? What does it mean if it's dead? Do we get a purple rinse perm and lovely loose linens, or do we have to be young forever? We also look at parents projecting on our kids- what does it mean when we're pushing our issues on them? Should we protect them from our own mistakes? Or do we just let them find their own way? Strap yourselves in!

We're back! A festive yarn
Good Sheilas
12/19/22 • 48 min
We're back, and having a catch up chat about all sorts of things- comedy, Christmas, ancient civilisations, moving house, accidentally yelling at strangers on the street and the enduring power of community- the one we've built and share with you. It's a silly joy to be here. Strap yourselves in!

The sound is no good, but we are. We discuss Celeste Barber and recent backlash- is she a bully, or doing good for a culture where being a hot babe is still critically important above all else? We also talk sacrifice- having it all is dead, and what do you let go of to have what's left? We report on what we've both missed out on happily- and what we miss. Strap yourselves in!

We are back. Where the heck did we go, and what the devil happened? We explain why we vanished and why we decided that this is the very important bees knees to us. Updates on life, Britney, the Kardashians, Stranger Things (not Bron), space (also not Bron), winning massive national competitions (Bron), the power of friendship and the lessons we continue to learn and learn and learn. We love you. Welcome home.

The new feminism and why we make bad decisions
Good Sheilas
02/25/22 • 48 min
We're back! Season 3! We talk about having a break from Good Sheilas, and the low bar of dadhood and why it's got us riled up. We talk about fourth wave feminism and how the brand we grew up with has let us down, and what the new face of feminism looks like. We then talk about all the reasons we make terrible decisions: cognitive biases, learned behaviours and all the ways you can stay on track (we are trying!). Strap yourselves in!

In this episode we unpack Claire's history of getting and erasing terrible tattoos, including incorrect Latin, ex-boyfriends, and backpacks. So cool. We also talk Mamamia's habit of pitting women against each other, and how competitive we can be- and whether this is fun or toxic. Why not both? Strap yourselves in!
