The Nutbush Made Us Pee Ourselves. We Need To Talk.

November 2, 2026 · 38 min

Show notes

Bruna tried very hard to be zen about being stuck in Hawaii even though it took 55 hours and two cancelled flights to get home. Cath walked out of a Pilates class halfway through, in front of everyone, in a t-shirt that looked like she’d dressed out of a bin. Ginni swapped the hardest day of an Italian hike for a ferry packed with 500,000 of her closest friends, and we all learned what a crampon is. (Not a hiking tampon.)

Plus, the Substack that told Gen X women they were sold a myth. And a listener whose daughter came home to find her bed replaced with a Pilates reformer.

In your ears today: Ginni Mansberg, Bruna Papandrea and Cath Mahoney.
