How we split the domestic load in our relationships
This week we’re talking about how we split up the domestic labour in our homes. A few weeks ago the HILDA survey (Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey) came out which found that men are doing the same amount of housework now as they were when the survey started…20 years ago. This made us reflect on how we do divvy up the chores in our homes. And! Do you brush your teeth before breakfast or after? What about shampoo or conditioner? We asked you which thing you do first and turns out they were more divisive than we thought. Lastly! Is anyone else sleeping on top of a piece of plastic?

How ADHD presents in women - with journalist Matilda Boseley
Matilda Boseley is a journalist and author of the book ‘The Year I Met My Brain: A travel companion for adults who have just found out they have ADHD’. The book is part-Matilda’s experience of ADHD, and part-straight up facts, and this conversation was a little bit of both too. Matilda's book has become Steph's go-to recommendation for anyone wanting to learn more about ADHD, and especially ADHD in women. Because the thing is…ADHD presents verrrrry differently in women and girls compared to boys. In this episode Matilda speaks with Steph about learning about ADHD via TikTok during Covid lockdown, receiving an ADHD diagnosis in her early 20’s, the compounding impact of ADHD & anxiety, and Steph & Matilda both share their own experiences of being women with ADHD.
