Part 3 of our four-part Summer series, where the vibes are still high and the "hot take" pressure is officially cancelled. This week we’re talking about bucking the trends, backing yourself, and injecting some personality into your home. From working with the bones, quirks and era of your place to resisting the urge to copy-paste whatever’s trending online, we’re diving into how to make a home feel like yours. Less algorithm, more instinct.

Lu and BB have raced into the pod studio for a very important BREAKING NEWS EPISODE, deep-diving into Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham’s scathing six-page Instagram statement about his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, after years of rumoured tension.

And you better believe, the bombshells are bombshelling. From accusations of brand control and press manipulation, to explosive wedding drama (including that first dance), wedding dress cancellations, alleged legal pressure to sign away his name, and claims Nicola Peltz has been consistently disrespected, Brookie has truly unleashed on his famous fam. We also ask the big questions - was this PR-approved or pure emotional release? Is there any way back from this? And as boy mums… how are we feeling?

Plus, we’ve figured out the only way Vicky can come back from this, and it involves doing something she absolutely hates. Buckle up, DLs! It’s a SPICY special ep.

First up, we cover the essentials in life admin: a reminder to worm your kids and the joys of a surprise plumber call-out. Next, we dive into Debt Manor (because adulting is relentless) and the nightmare of being stuck in a gym membership contract. And then, we get real about parenting icks, thinking back to the early years, what’s the one thing you absolutely never want to do again? Like, you survived it, you respect it… but your ovaries are politely declining a repeat performance.

Imagine being cancelled by your imaginary best friend and all-round Brit It Gal, Lily Allen, on day three of your new job. Sounds like a living nightmare, right? Welp, this actually happened to Bella and she’s finally going public with this never-before-told dark tale of shame. Meanwhile, celibacy is taking Hollywood by storm with the likes of Julia Fox and Khloe Kardashian crossing their legs for good, and the girls are feeling inspired. Plus, we chat to fashion expert and stylist, Courtney McIntosh, from THE INARRA about the jeans we’ll all be wearing in 2026, and Lu shares the ultimate mindful activity that produces chic accessories and keeps your kids busy.
