Tune in for a rant and some remorse about a recent visit to the dentist, a discussion about falling off the "convey-belt of life" and the golden gifts of senior friends.

We nearly didn't publish this one, because Rebecca still struggles with imperfection. Oh the irony. Join us for a tangential chat on parties in our 40s, being sober and musing on the roots of perfectionism. 

After a barfing episode on a mini-break, Rebecca and Lizzie get honest about their relationship triggers and make a commitment to one-another to re-write self-limiting beliefs. Rebecca's mother makes a delightful cameo and we ask the question "is anyone really ordinary?". We then topped it all off with a juicy discussion about spirituality and a dash of awkward affirmations! Get ready. It's a good one.

Episode 4 is all about body image (and some side tangents as always). Lizzie embraces her stocky legs and celebrates her centre of gravity and a healthy body, while Rebecca waxes on about her obsession with a Peter Rabbit jumper she wore as a kid and how clothing has the power to change how she feels about her body. We also give a shout-out to the younger generation for their gender non-conforming awesomeness and of course no episode will be aired without a mention of a willy. Tune in for another corker. Seriously, it warms up around 10 mins! 

Lizzie and Rebecca share their younger attempts to be of service through voluntourism. Their hopes for the experience-of-a-lifetime are dashed when they discover voluntourism might be a racket, decide to quit and adventure solo. An exotic bird sanctuary gets a little too Hitchcock for Rebecca and Lizzie's attempts to help kids in Morocco and India go sideways. Never one to miss out on adventure, Lizzie opts for a rather questionable naked healing. Tune in to find out what weird and unexpected places volunteering might take you!
