Women's experiences going to the Gyno #THROWBACK

In this season 7 opener of Wine Chats, Billi and Lyndsey unpack everything that comes with major school transitions. Billi’s kids have changed primary schools, a huge decision filled with nerves, excitement and second-guessing, while Lyndsey is navigating the emotional milestone of her son starting high school.From mum guilt and “did we make the right call?” spirals, to pride, relief and the quiet moments after school drop-off, this episode is a real, honest conversation about parenting through change. We talk about how kids cope differently, how parents carry the emotional load, and why the first day back to school can hit harder than we expect.If you’re dealing with changing schools, starting high school, or just trying to survive back-to-school season with your sanity intact, this episode will make you feel a little less alone.-----Connect with Us:Follow us on Instagram: @WineChatsPodcastSend us your stories at [email protected] & Review Wine Chats on Apple Podcasts: Click hereWatch & Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCMIlV9pP_mGVZ_YKgjYtcXwJoin the fun on TikTok: tiktok.com/@winechatspodcastGot thoughts?

Have you ever felt like you’ve let someone down… and then the guilt comes crashing in?This week on Wine Chats, Lyndsey opens up about a recent moment where she thought she’d let Billi down - tearful voice memo tears and all - while Billi admits she’s had her own moments of feeling like she’s dropped the ball too.We also dive into the art of cancelling plans (the right way!), plus what it actually takes for us to feel truly hurt by someone.Big thanks to Budburst Wine Collective for sponsoring this episode with their very interesting Stargazer Tupelo. -----Connect with Us:Follow us on Instagram: @WineChatsPodcastSend us your period horror stories at [email protected] & Review Wine Chats on Apple Podcasts: Click hereWatch & Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCMIlV9pP_mGVZ_YKgjYtcXwJoin the fun on TikTok: tiktok.com/@winechatspodcastGot thoughts?

In our last recorded episode of the year - it's all about the fall of Selling Sunset!What used to be our favourite show EVER, it's not turned into a nasty, bitc*y show that's almost unwatchable! From cattiness to the lack of actually properties sold, this season was disappointing and we ask ourselves - is this really what people want to watch nowadays, or have they gone too far in the wrong direction?We'll be back with brand new episodes in February 2026! We hope you have a great holiday season with your families and loved ones :)In this episode we're drinking the Little Ripples Pinot Grigio. -----Connect with Us:Follow us on Instagram: @WineChatsPodcastSend us your stories at [email protected] & Review Wine Chats on Apple Podcasts: Click hereWatch & Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCMIlV9pP_mGVZ_YKgjYtcXwJoin the fun on TikTok: tiktok.com/@winechatspodcastGot thoughts?

Gen Z call it raw dogging (why?!) — but really it’s just sitting still and letting your brain breathe for a minute.We rant, we agree it’s actually smart, and then we somehow end up in a mini-argument about who practices it more. Classic Billi and Lyndsey energy.Also: Cute Drinks made a guest appearance — not a sponsor, just delicious spicy marg-style sips.-----Connect with Us:Follow us on Instagram: @WineChatsPodcastSend us your period horror stories at [email protected] & Review Wine Chats on Apple Podcasts: Click hereWatch & Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCMIlV9pP_mGVZ_YKgjYtcXwJoin the fun on TikTok: tiktok.com/@winechatspodcastGot thoughts?

We dig into the story of Bonnie Blue (aka Tia Billinger) — from her regular 9-to-5 life to becoming one of the most controversial creators on the internet. She’s built her brand on extreme stunts, family bans, and free-for-all content. We both see a bit of ourselves in her (yes, we’ve been banned from family things too), and we ask: is she a marketing mastermind playing the system, or is she a broken human trying to cope behind the blue filter?In this episode:Who Bonnie Blue really is, why she got noticed, and how she skyrocketed into the spotlight.What happens when someone uses “getting banned” as part of the branding.The moment you realise you might actually have more in common with that person than you thought.Marketing or meltdown? We break down her stunts, her motives, and her consequences.And yes… the “1,000 dicks” reference (or whatever the number is) — why it matters, how it fits, and what we make of it.Pour your drink, settle in and join us for a real-talk hour on fame, brokenness, and the fine line between genius and chaos.Big thanks to Budburst Wine Collective for sponsoring this episode with their very interesting Stargazer Tupelo.-----Connect with Us:Follow us on Instagram: @WineChatsPodcastSend us your period horror stories at [email protected] & Review Wine Chats on Apple Podcasts: Click hereWatch & Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCMIlV9pP_mGVZ_YKgjYtcXwJoin the fun on TikTok: tiktok.com/@winechatspodcastGot thoughts?

E-bikes are everywhere - but at what cost?This week on Wine Chats, we’re talking about the growing number of kids getting seriously injured or killed in e-bike crashes. These things go faster than most people realise, yet there are no clear regulations on who can ride them or how.We share our thoughts as parents, discuss the different types of e-bikes, and ask the question: should any child be riding something that goes 50km/h on the road?💬 What do you think — should e-bikes be banned for under 16s?👉 Tune in for a passionate chat about road safety, responsibility, and the wild west of e-bike culture.Sponsored wine: Dr Edge Riesling from Budburst Wine Collective.-----Connect with Us:Follow us on Instagram: @WineChatsPodcastSend us your period horror stories at [email protected] & Review Wine Chats on Apple Podcasts: Click hereWatch & Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCMIlV9pP_mGVZ_YKgjYtcXwJoin the fun on TikTok: tiktok.com/@winechatspodcastGot thoughts?
