Who Gave My Hormones the Mic? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on It Aint For Sissies , Jo has a rather unfortunate realisation: she’s entered early perimenopause . Because apparently being a woman in her 40s wasn’t already character-building enough. What follows is a brutally honest conversation about the absolute hormonal shitshow that is perimenopause — and the part nobody seems to talk about enough: what it can do to your mind. We’re talking anxiety, depression, feeling completely unlike yourself, emotions that seem to have been handed the ste
The Makings of a Healthy Marriage (opens the original)

Marriage: Because Apparently Love Isn’t Enough What actually makes a marriage happy and healthy? Because if it were just about love, we’d all be nailing this shit by now. In this episode, we unpack the things that actually keep a marriage together — communication, trust, compromise, intimacy, friendship, knowing when to apologise… and, most importantly, knowing when to keep your mouth firmly shut and when to fake the "oh, that's so interesting".

In this episode, we’re getting into the complicated world of men, feelings, and the never-ending cycle of “boys don’t cry” and “just suck it up.” We chat about why some men struggle to recognise, understand or openly express what they’re feeling — and how sadness, fear, hurt or vulnerability can sometimes come out looking suspiciously like anger, irritation or the sudden urge to fix something that absolutely does not need fi
The Motivation Episode We Couldn’t Be Bothered To Make (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We were supposed to record an episode about motivation . The problem? We had absolutely none. So, in what can only be described as peak It Aint For Sissies behaviour, we decided that the best way to discuss motivation was to… completely avoid discussing it. Instead, we wandered spectacularly off-topic and talked about pretty much anything and everything that came to mind. Was there a plan? Sure. Did we stick to it? Absolutely not. Did we have a good time anyway? Obviously. Consider this episode
