Warning: This episode contains discussions around alcohol and drug abuse and addiction more generally.

Cat and Emma are back, doing all they can to bring a little sunshine to your January. This week, Emma discusses all things ‘man keeping’. Do you feel like you’re the only one who your male partner can talk to about his feelings? Are men experiencing a friendship recession?

Cat gets personal and talks openly and honestly about her alcoholism and addiction. With so many people doing Dry January, Cat talks about why she chose sobriety and why it’s the best thing she’s ever done.

Next week’s topics:

Cat: You’re Never The Only One…who struggled with baby brain in the early days.

Emma: You’re Never The Only One…who just heard of ‘pretty privilege’
