About this listen

Lucy and Karen, two 40-somethings, are always chatting about life, and all that it has to throw at them, and now want to share their raw, honest conversations with you. Their journey of finding their own voices, self-discovery and healing is something many of us can relate to. We all possess a unique power within us, but life’s trials often knock us off course. They have the tools, the courage to speak up and simply say it as it is, so you might feel seen, and understood and gain practical tools and techniques for self-discovery and personal growth during the changes we experience.

  • From Epstein Files To Everyday Patriarchy
    Feb 13 2026

    Send a text

    We confront the Epstein files as a lens on patriarchy, institutional silence, and the dark triad of sex, money, and power. We share lived stories, map the deny–deflect playbook, and make space for anger, grief, hope, and healing.

    • centring survivors over sensational images
    • updates on Maxwell’s silence and why it matters
    • how rank, privilege, and status shape deference
    • the dark triad of sex, money, power explained
    • a personal story of early predation and its echoes
    • institutional failures from grooming scandals to elites
    • gaslighting tactics and the power of naming them
    • signs of cultural change and male allyship
    • healing with boundaries and soft power
    • practical next steps and finding support

    Send us a text

    We explore female anger as life force, tracing how resentment turns to rage, how society polices women’s voices, and how boundaries transform heat into clean power. Real stories, body wisdom, and practical steps to name it, own it, and act with care and clarity.

    • simmering resentment in midlife and the hidden load
    • the dishwasher as symbol of unequal labour
    • sensing anger in the body and naming it
    • anger’s scale from despair to joy
    • safety, patriarchy and why women’s voices get labelled
    • history, leadership and the cost of suppression
    • grief for wasted years and missed nos
    • boundaries that hold and non‑negotiables
    • parenting big feelings with firm limits
    • healthy release without harm and turning anger into action

  • We Don’t Care Club Tribute: and the stuff we wish we didn't care about
    Jan 30 2026

    Send us a text

    We celebrate the We Don’t Care Club energy, ditch some performative rules, and get honest about the things we still struggle to release. Inspired by the brilliant Melani Sanders, this conversation moves from what we don't care about, to what we wish we didn't care for, and what matters most.

    • naming the silly rules we drop and why it frees time and energy
    • admitting what we still care about and unpacking conditioning
    • weight, confidence and the thinness happiness myth
    • ageing, hair, roots, filters and integrity over polish
    • why women’s appearance standards persist and how we push back
    • values-led living and leadership as daily behaviour
    • honouring elders, healing family patterns and staying present
    • endometriosis, painful periods and speaking up for care
    • the two lists exercise for focus and clarity

    Let us know what you find. Let us know, send us messages, send us, um, you know, join us on Instagram and TikTok and let us know how you're getting on.
