Show Notes
In this week's episode we focus on the scandals that defined our generation and how our opinions on the women involved have changed. We explore the 'trainwreck' female archetype and examine why we are all so obsessed with watching her fall from grace, whilst we allow compassion for the 'silly men' who fall victim of the scandal and we offer them the grace of a redemption arc.

This week we dive into the world of holidays. Where we used to have bin bag capes, shopping centre Santas and one egg you couldn't open until Easter Sunday, we now have weeks long marathons of events where we spend extortionate amounts of money and time trying to create magical memories for our kids. We want to know whether our kids are actually having better childhoods or whether we are stressing ourselves out so much trying to micro manage a bank of Instagram worthy memories, that we are actually missing the magic ourselves?
