Ryan's most emotional episode yet - A Father’s Day Surprise

This week we're joined by relationship expert and Celebs Go Dating coach Anna Williamson. As Sam and Pete's former dating coach, we had to get the inside scoop on what they were really like behind the scenes, and Anna shares a few stories that Louise and Ryan may not have heard before. The conversation then takes a more personal turn as Anna gives us some powerful techniques for reconnecting as a couple, leading to an honest discussion about therapy and relationships. For the first time, we open up about a recent reset in our own relationship, and Anna reminds us that every couple faces challenges and that asking for help is often the first step towards moving forward. We also discuss why so many relationships struggle after having a baby, the biggest reasons people cheat, and why more people than ever are searching for deeper meaning and connection in their relationships. 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email!

This week, Louise and Ryan dive into the topic of argument styles and quickly discover they have very different views on how each other handles conflict. What starts as a conversation about communication soon turns into a debate of its own, with the retelling of one of their most recent disagreements... They also discuss a recent BBC Panorama documentary on failures in maternity care that left a lasting impression on them both. The conversation prompts a deeply personal reflection on the trauma they've experienced individually, and the lasting impact those experiences continue to have on their lives and perspectives today. Plus, they unpack the rise of the "tradwife" movement and question whether influencers such as Nara Smith are simply showcasing a lifestyle choice or promoting a narrative that risks undermining decades of progress for women. As the trend continues to gain popularity online, Louise and Ryan explore the messages the younger generation may be absorbing from the content they consume every day.

This week, Louise reflects on the often-unspoken reality of rebuilding confidence in your body after motherhood, opening up about her journey back to exercise and the ways becoming a parent has changed her perspective on beauty, self-care and the messages young girls are absorbing from the modern skincare industry. Ryan discusses why sport matters far beyond the game itself, particularly for men, and how major events like the World Cup can create powerful opportunities for connection, belonging and conversation. Plus, a listener question about the best advice they've ever been given leads to one of their most honest discussions yet, as Louise shares the complex emotions she's experiencing while facing the possibility that her family may be complete. 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email!

This week, Louise and Ryan dive into the conversation sparked by a viral Vogue article about a woman becoming a mother at 49 and calling it the most self-aware decision she’s ever made. It opens up a bigger discussion around the pressure to have children “on time”, and the realities of having kids later in life, from the unexpected benefits to the challenges no one really talks about.  Then, with Rivals Season 2 back on our screens, they chat all things dinner parties… which leads Louise to revealing her time on Come Dine With Me alongside the rest of the MIC cast. So we do a live reaction to a clip of her time on there.... Plus, there’s an M&S sweet taste test, reactions to Venezuela Fury’s wedding choices and the wild things we'd choose on our own wedding day if there was zero judgement, and a listener dilemma about what we’d do if Leo covered the bedroom in make-up?! 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email!

This week, Louise comes straight off the back of the BAFTAs with a very unexpected red carpet moment, bumping into someone from her past she hasn’t seen in over a decade....👀 Louise and Ryan then reflect on their individual moments with Leo over the weekend, and they share what they each learn from him. From the power of being silly, to slowing down and seeing the world through his eyes, they reflect on how much their son continues to teach them. Ryan also shares more on his weekly letters to Leo, and opens up about how a recent failure has shifted his perspective. And finally, we get into a more serious conversation around the rise of the manosphere and voices like Clavicular, unpacking the world of looksmaxxing and the impact it’s having on teenage boys growing up online. We share our honest thoughts on the pressures, the damage, and what it means to raise children in the middle of it all. 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email! Want to get involved?
