Summary

Em was thirty minutes late to the studio today - she arrived looking fabulous and with a tale to tell… it was a hell of a 12 hours to be Em (or her hair). We also discuss mispronouncing words in a professional capacity and the true meaning of the phrase 'take heed'.

Listener Vanessa emailed us about the first all female space flight - so we dive into the questions that it has raised about girl boss feminism, tokenism and billionaire vanity projects.

Do you have something you want to share with us? We’d love to hear it - email us on [email protected]

0:00.0	Okay, so this episode is sponsored by La Roche Pose.
0:03.1	And before we get into it, I wanted to preface this with, has someone turned up the speed recently on life?
0:08.9	I mean, I feel like over the last few months, we've gone from like, this is okay, this is manageable to everything could potentially be on fire.

0:25.3	We've just had a second baby and everything is just go, go, go.
0:29.8	All of a sudden, I love it, but it is hell of tiring.
0:33.4	It's a lot and all I want is a spa day with silence, a cup of tea and a cocktail and a book.
0:39.8	A book on baking.
0:41.7	That's rude.
0:43.6	And retweet on the spa day, honestly, life is taking its toll on my skin.
0:48.7	I know that aging chat is something we talk a bit about and something I talk to my friends a lot about, like how our skin changes as you

1:00.7	And that's why having skincare that works just as hard as we do is important. La Roche Pose has brought
1:06.2	out the new Eiffaclar AZ gel cream with daily double action against adult breakouts and signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles.
1:14.7	We shouldn't have to choose to target either spots or aging with our skincare or rely on a 10-step
1:19.7	routine to be effective, although it probably would be best if you could follow a 10-step routine
