This week Laura’s asking some big questions. Does buying disposable fashion make you a bad person? Are street Whatsapp groups the Long Covid we’re not talking about?

Michelle has beef with Jo Malone, updates us on her attempt to give up smoking and faces the wrath of the Beyhive with an honest review of Beyoncé's latest UK tour. Is it possible she enjoyed the train to the gig more? Meanwhile, Laura is waxing lyrical about the cranio-osteopathist and goes in deep on the new series of Selling Sunset.

This week Laura Smyth and Michelle de Swarte ask whether we can ever really reach Nirvana or if peace will always be disrupted by a snoring bloke manspreading in the seat next to you.

Laura’s been making besties on holiday, tells us about her new favourite ways to recharge the batteries and explains how our bodies are gaslighting us.
