We’re Chris and Lisa. We’ve been together for 20 years, married for 15, raising three daughters, wrangling two dogs, and doing our best to keep all the plates spinning without dropping too many.
Every week we sit down for honest conversations about family, relationships, parenting, work, mental health and the everyday moments that make up real life. Some weeks we’re laughing until we cry. Other weeks we’re just trying to survive bedtime.
Back in the new studio, and the dogs immediately took over. Lisa talks finishing counselling, we get into relationship mistakes, hard conversations and a birthday gone wrong, all while Winston and Angus refuse to let us record.
A summer working in Corfu took a turn we didn’t see coming. From the pool accident that tore Chris’s ankle ligaments to what medical care abroad was really like, plus an honest conversation about ADHD and impulse spending.
A simple word game turns to chaos as we test whether we’re actually compatible. Along the way: a real trial at Glasgow High Court, the cost of living, internet trolls, and a dream that felt like healing an inner child.
Family mediator Patsie Nielsen joins us to talk honestly about separation and co-parenting: mediation versus court, how to tell children, parenting plans, and what kids actually go through when parents are in conflict.
The number we never really talk about, said out loud. The breakfast radio years, body dysmorphia, food noise, ADHD and dopamine, hospital scares, and what progress actually looks like when you’re changing years of habits.
First impressions can be brutal, and sometimes they linger. We talk honestly about how we first saw each other, what got said behind the scenes, and the moment those early judgements finally came out in the open.
