  • You Need Everything to Go Wrong
    Aug 18 2025

    This week on You Don’t Need a Hamster, You Need a Therapist, things get a little bit deep (okay, a lot deep) as Millie opens up about what it actually looked like to find her passion—spoiler: it wasn’t a vision board and green juice situation.

    From dropping out of drama school to moving to America with more questions than answers, this episode is a very real look at what happens when life doesn’t go to plan—and how sometimes, hitting rock bottom is weirdly the thing that cracks everything open.

    There’s reflection, hope, a few plot twists, and maybe a small identity crisis or two, but hey—who among us hasn’t had one of those lately?

    So if you’re feeling stuck, lost, or just nose-diving into the unknown, this one’s for you. You’re definitely not alone.

  • You Need to Reflect and Rejoice!
    Jul 7 2025

    Big feelings, big wins, and even bigger dreams—this episode’s got it all. After a year that felt like a wild mix of chaos, glow-ups, existential spirals, and belly laughs, Millie and Hannah are finally sitting down to catch their breath and reflect on everything.

    From launching ideas at lightning speed to texting each other "WTF are we doing?" at least once a week, it’s been a year of figuring it out as they go—and somehow still landing on their feet (mostly). They’re talking friendship highs, business curveballs, personal growth, and all the moments in between. Plus, there’s a peek at the exciting stuff coming next—and trust us, it’s juicy. So grab your snacks, settle in, and come hang with two besties figuring life out in real time. It’s reflective, it’s chaotic, it’s a little unhinged—in the best way.
