Amanda helped launch a charity for a friend last week called ‘The Please Stay Foundation’ which helps young adolescents who are suffering with their mental health. Amanda was moved at how many parents in the crowd were overwhelmed with emotion at some of the lived experiences they have had with their children. Anita equips us with a wealth of information about this particular topic, how you can prepare to see a psychologist and the checklist you need before you go.

There is a lot of talk about women who are a similar age to Amanda and Anita coming into their ‘third act.’ It's the stage where you are balancing a new lease on life whether it be kids moving out (but still needing you), your parents still being around (and needing you) and your life becoming a little more flexible to fit in travel, work, love... However, it’s also a stage where women feel the most invisible and feel a great deal of stress to ‘age gracefully’ in a world that tells us not to. Amanda and Anita deep dive into the pressure of third act – good and the bad. Join the conversation by reaching us on our socials!

Anita read an article the other day about a woman’s sex toy getting hacked…. Yes, you read that right. Who would’ve thought we’d live in a world where even sex toys can be hacked, but here we are. Amanda and Anita deep dive into the evolution of scams. When they were young, it was ones in comic books and chain mail. Hackers then moved into romantic scams, into playing on our guilt, into targeting shame. Anita unpacks what makes us vulnerable to scams and how we can live in a world where we can’t trust anyone. We also had some great suggestions from our listeners! Join the conversation by reaching us on our socials!

Firstly, Amanda would like to thank everyone from the overwhelming feedback she received after episode two. But onto other big topics…. Dolphin Sex has been on A+A’s mind. Amanda's been listening to ‘Hooked on Freddie’, a podcast about a man who loved swimming with a particular dolphin, until he was accused of having an 'abnormally close relationship with it’ (if you know what we mean!) But after experiencing some pretty strange encounters herself, Amanda wants to know: What’s the big obsession with humans having experiences with animals? Anita has some insight - and a few stories of her own... Join the conversation by reaching us on our socials!

Six years ago Amanda’s family received some news which would change their lives. Amanda and her husband Harley would’ve preferred to never talk about this publicly, but together, they feel like the timing is right to discuss what has been happening in their family.

When we think of addictions, we think of smoking, drinking, drugs, sex.... but there are other serious addictions out there which you might have already fallen victim to. Amanda found an article from The New York Times where there’s a new bookstore in Brooklyn devoted to romance books – the only fiction genre to see big increases in sales last year. Amanda and Anita discuss the obsession everyone is currently having and now how men feel they can’t live up to the romantic pressure women are putting on them. For men, it's porn. For women, it’s romance! Anita knows of a psychologist who actually had her own addiction…. Reading vampire novels. This spiralled out of control until she found herself reading books inside her medical journals so no one knew what she was doing! Speaking of… our very own Amanda Keller admits to her own obsessions. It got so bad she had to seek professional help! Join the conversation by reaching us on our socials!
