  • Handbags, Words That Matter and the Body Positivity Question
    Sep 21 2025

    Welcome back to Sweet Blondes – Julie is cheeky, Esther is proper, Penny is disobedient… guess what happens next.

    This week we open up our handbags and reveal what is really hiding inside. Some of it is useful, some of it is surprising and some of it might just leave you speechless. From there we move into the big debate. Does the language we use shape the way we live. And has the obsession with weight loss and the body positivity movement been more of a scam than a solution.

    It is candid, funny and just a little bit provocative. The kind of chat that starts light but ends up asking the questions that matter.

    So grab a brew, press play and join in – we want to know what is hiding in your handbag.

  • Books, Bans and the Therapy Debate
    Sep 14 2025

    Welcome back to Sweet Blondes – Julie is cheeky, Esther is proper, Penny is disobedient… guess what happens next.

    This week we ask the big questions. Are you a night owl or an early bird. What would make your personal banned list. Would you ever go to therapy. And is there still magic in holding a book or have you gone all-in on audio.

    It is playful, honest and just the right amount of mischievous. The sort of conversation you would have with your best friends over coffee when you are meant to be doing something else.

    If life is feeling heavy let us lighten the load. You will laugh, you will nod along and by the end you will feel like you have pulled up a chair at our table.

    So grab a brew, press play and join in – we want to know what you would ban first.

    This time our conversation takes us from the emojis that say more than words to fiery debates about law and order with a few surprising choices when it comes to art. It is funny, a little unexpected and exactly the kind of light relief you need in the middle of the week.

    If the headlines are getting heavy let us lift the mood. You will laugh, you will shout your own answers at the speaker and by the end you will feel like you have pulled up a chair at our table.

    So grab a brew, press play and join in – we want to know which emoji you cannot live without.
