“In a Ball Gown Drinking Tall Boys" | Living Alone

About this episode

Mel and Steph discuss the pros and cons of living alone, sharing personal anecdotes and tips for creating a comfortable space.

When listener Lucy from London asks for advice on living alone for the first time, Mel and Steph get real about the pros, cons and weird freedoms of solo living. From Steph's pink velvet headboard era to Melissa's bat-by-the-bed security system, the ladies discuss making your space a sanctuary, the importance of self-respect when no one's watching and why leaving big work boots outside your door is actually genius. Featuring: safety tips, pizza bones, dressing up in ball gowns to do puzzles by yourself and a reminder that your space should feel like coming home to yourself.
