This week we get raw — diving into Sam’s journey navigating motherhood through the thick of grief. With her daughter Luna losing her Dad and her Poppa last year. We also catch up on Sarah’s birthday celebrations, chat about (past) pregnancy announcements, and round things off with our thoughts on Katy Perry’s questionable trip to space.
Tender, teary, and a little bit chaotic — this one’s straight from the heart, Besties x

Last week was heavy so we kick off this episode with a weekly highlight/lowlight (chaotic, obviously) - Sam got in a scrap with an older lady before we then spiral into reminiscing about our early 20s and the questionable choices we made. From school mum life to suddenly loving whatever our partners love (Did someone say PGA/LIV drama?) it's a ride! Thanks for coming along. *we talk Santa near the end - NOT SAFE FOR KIDS - hope they aren't listening anyway *
