I Made A Woo Woo Deal With The Universe... And It Answered
6/1/202642 min
Sally's gone woo woo and we're here for it. Cath went on a very promising date but the next step split the group chat. Should she she text him? Should she be a beautiful, elusive deer? Or is she simply a Labrador in need of love, reassurance and maybe a Spotify playlist?
Also this week: Grace gives a stranger on a plane a tissue, Mary reminds us why showing up for your friends’ good news is deeply underrated, Sally makes little deals with the universe, and everyone tries to process the horrifying news that smoking might be back.
In your ears today: Sally Hepworth, Grace Lam, Mary Coustas and Cath Mahoney.
