In this episode of Crisis Talks, the duo wrap up their “moaning” series and dive head-first into Parenting Room 101— from helicopter parents and loud narrators to humble-brag mums. They unpack the madness of social-media parenting, the horror of present-haul posts at Christmas, and the universal pain of raising teenagers (aka: empathy-free young people).

The conversation spirals — naturally — into memories of their own kids, and they jump through nostalgia, teenage behaviour, fridge-door slamming, and the challenges of modern parenting.

The episode finishes with a chat about Australian Christmases, booking their Dubai 50th trip, upcoming holidays, and what’s coming next: a cheerful Christmas special (or at least an attempt not to moan).

Listen if you want a laugh and a comforting reminder that friendships don’t have to be perfect — they just have to be real.

It’s been a tough, cough-ridden week for the Midlife No Crisis duo. After being struck down by the worst illnesses they’ve had in years, the girls reunite - armed with hats and orange Vimto - to catch up on everything from flu-induced meltdowns to 20-year-olds losing their keys, menopausal vitamin conspiracies, and why December is just one long crawl to the finish line.

There’s teenage drama (Sweet 16s, questionable sayings, and Leeds Fest negotiations), parenting fails, hot-tub confessions, flying cockroaches abroad, and the ongoing horror of Elf on the Shelf.

They also gear up for this week’s theme: Room 101 – The Pre-Christmas Cleanse, where all the moans, gripes, and festive chaos get thrown into the bin before the Christmas episode.

Warm, chaotic, relatable midlife nonsense… just how we like it.

In this episode we relive the most chaotic girls’ weekend of our twenties—what started as a simple trip to Abersoch turned into bunk-beds, angry mobs, Welsh shopkeepers refusing to look at us, a car crash (mid-vom!), a five-hour detour through 1850s Wales, an accidental night in a pretend rave, collapsing all over Katie’s flat, and finishing with a day out in Weston-Super-Nightmare. It’s the story our friends love, we barely remember, and absolutely no one in Wales wants us to tell again.
