8 - Are we doing life right?

Do you find travelling stressful or are you an organised traveller? This time we’re discussing the joy of packing cubes, carrying half a pharmacy in your hand luggage and why do people queue up at the boarding gate 45 minutes early?

From QR code menus and password purgatory to endless software updates and AI taking over the world - how are we coping with modern tech? No, really! If you’ve ever wanted to throw a device out of the window this episode is for you.

How easy is it to integrate into a new culture? A listener asked, and we’re diving into our honest experiences of living abroad - what’s worked, what hasn’t and whether we truly feel at home.

This time we’re talking about empty nesting. For some this will be the last summer before their children leave for university, to go travelling or for work. Is it a relief or is it heartbreaking?

Discover what we didn’t know, or chose not to believe, about what joys and challenges midlife would bring us. From the comfort of a good pair of Waynettas to the everyday struggle of adulting.

This time we’re talking about cooking. To some it comes naturally, to some it is simply a chore. Do we love it or loathe it?

This time we’re chatting about our healthy habits or perhaps our health and our habits. Do you know about the clean fifteen and the dirty dozen for example? We’re entering an age where we no longer feel invincible and we have to look after our health.

Tune in for the ultimate reality check as we discuss whether we are mastering life or just over thinking things in the sunshine……

This episode was recorded before the recent hantavirus outbreak.It’s been six years since we came out of lockdown following the outbreak of Covid. So this episode we’re seeing what we can remember about it and what, if anything, we learned from the experience. Debra also has a rather serious crisis of the week which perhaps wasn’t fully appreciated by her friends!

This time we’re talking about being the mother of boys. With no girls in the mix, do we parent differently because we have no daughters to help us balance out the household energy?
