Come for the Miranda Priestly chat...stay for the deep heart to heart about how it feels to be a woman in the workplace who is JUST TRYING HER BEST!
Broadcaster Steph Monks joins me this week! This episode was kinda like therapy for both of us (which is always a good thing!) In it we discuss:
Our surprising levels of empathy towards Miranda Priestley How Adrian Grenier isn't really as much of the villain is we originally thought Our own experiences of finding, harnessing and sometimes being scared of power in the workplace.You'll also notice a bonus episode which I've uploaded this week about Steph and my experiences of returning to our careers post-motherhood. I figured that given this is a romance podcast and not a parenting podcast, I'd make it available separately to those who wanted it!
Love you, more than a friend x

Before we actually got to our 'Devil Wears Prada' deep dive, Steph and I found ourselves deep in a 15 minute discussion about Steph's return to work when her son Rocco was just three months old. What followed was, what I believe is an important discussion around this impossible juggle. The constant push and pull of guilt and grief.
While not exactly very 'romantic' I still feel like a lot of you will relate to the chat, so I wanted to included it anyway.
You're doing great x

TV and radio powerhouse Sharyn Casey joins me this week to countdown the HR community's top voted TV couples. But mainly this episode is just two horny mums in their late 30's drooling over men we will never even be in the same room as.
I laughed a lot during this episode, I laughed a lot editing it, and I hope it brings you all the joy as you let yourself get carried away into a world of sexy TV boyfriends. Amen.
Content warning: there's some swears and some adult themes. Duh!
Love you, more than a friend!

NOTE: This film deals with a very prominent DV storyline, and as such this is discussed within the episode.
It's the episode I never saw coming, and the film I never thought I'd watch! This week, my mate Guy Mansell joins us to discuss 'It Ends With Us' in a STRICTLY PERIPHERAL DRAMA FREE episode.
Some of the questions posed:
Why isn't the actor who plays Atlas in everything? And can he drop his skincare routine? Where did Lily get the money for that boujee ass flower shop?Love you, more than a friend!

The book is out, I have recovered (just!) and so now...the podcast returns. And WHAT A TITLE to return with!
'Love Actually' is not only the most requested film, but also the one that comes up the most during other episodes. I am delighted to welcome publishing superstar Emma Clifton to the poddy, who has seen this film more than 20 times (which doesn't sound as crazy when you do the maths and realise its once a year since it came out...)
This episode is pretty much a love letter to Colin Firth. We also deep dive the strange sexiness of Alan Rickman (may he rest in peace) and the eternal queen Emma Thompson who is utterly flawless in this film, and every other film on earth.
Love you, more than a friend

Infidelity, fate, Fboys and Ryan Gosling's abdominals. It's all here, people!
This movie rules, and this was such a fun episode to do with first time Hopeless Romantic Amelia Stamos. We go deep (can a relationship survive infidelity?) and we go shallow (would you have sex with Ryan Gosling after meeting him at the bar for ten minutes?).
Love you, more than a friend x

Chris Parker is a kiwi comedian, writer, actor and perhaps most notably the guest who initially suggested the most absurd 'romance' film (it was Deep Impact. And to be fair he argues a great point at the start of this episode).
We settled on French Canadian director Xavier Dolan's stunning film Matthias and Maxime which I'd not heard of before the podcast, but absolutely ADORED.
You don't need to see the film to enjoy this episode as we cover soooo many other wonderful themes and films, but please see the film at some point in your life because it's beautiful. You can watch it on Apple TV.

All you need is love! And...well a couple of other things really.
Welcome to the podcast OUR VERY FIRST MAN! And what a man we have for you this week! Kiwi comedian Eli Matthewson joins us to discuss a movie he saw twelve times...in the cinema (OK so to be fair he has a plausible explanation that makes that sound less shocking).
This is one of my fave episodes so far - lots of laughs - and a couple F bombs (my bad, soz). If you want more Eli in your life, he's touring Oz and NZ so get around him at the link below.
Love you, more than a friend xoxo

This week we welcome back Hannah Diviney to the podcast! Hooray!
'We Live in Time' starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield was the best kind of sobfest. Not the sentimental kind. The real-life kind that has you reflecting on your own life for days to come. If you've not seen the film - please watch it before listening!!! It's worth the $20 movie ticket. Promise.
