    Mood Swings, Mad Dreams & Missing Lunches

    This week the Peri-Pigs are diving deep into the hormonal trenches. We get completely hones about the dark cloud of pre-period week, where mood swings leave you feeling like a "horrible, nasty, fat, ugly sweaty pig" riddled with guilt and questioning your entire life's purpose.Between battling insomnia and surviving bizarre, vivid dreams involving pet shops, Rylan Clark, and thieving dog sitters, the brain fog has officially taken over. We're talking about the tragedy of forgetting your prepared healthy breakfast, the horror of past travel blunders, and a very specific perimenopausal epiphany: the sudden onset of onion body odour. Plus, we celebrate the absolute resilience of women who can power through an intense hot flush during a corporate work meeting without missing a beat.

    Nip Slips, Slapping Thighs & Corfu Cocktails

    Nothing says "we’ve arrived" quite like the round of applause your thighs give when you sit down on a sunlounger. The Pigs are abroad! In this episode, we’re balancing the battle of holiday over-indulgence with some unexpected mid-life wins (and sags). Veronica is navigating bikinis that are suddenly too big, Penelope is dodging public indecency charges, and we’re both reflecting on career paths and life lessons after bonding with Sophia from the hotel animation team. Grab a cocktail, mind the rainstorms, and embrace the holiday headspace with us.

    Freeze the Frowns, Pass the Prosecco & Brace for Doggy

    It’s 48 hours until the Piggy Holiday, and the tension is as high as our waistbands! After the dogs caused a studio stir and sent a glass of Prosecco flying, they’ve been officially banished so we can finish the pre-trip prep in peace. Veronica shares her "Dog-Rage" from a 2:00 AM garden standoff and the bliss of a Botox-frozen forehead that’s finally killed off her tension headaches.Meanwhile, Penelope is navigating the sensory nightmare of her Hog-Husband’s bathroom DJ sets and the mystery of "Woofkin Woo," the draught excluder that never seems to stay in its place. We’re discussing the "sausage-skin" look of nude-coloured pants and the liberation of the "Piggy Era." The best part? The Hog-Husbands are coming with us! Hiccups, messy kitchen chairs, and all—the Peri-Pigs are officially going on tour!

  7. 12

    Laundry Rage, Social Batteries, and Bare Bottoms

    Sometimes the "Hog Husband" just doesn't get the hint—especially when it comes to the laundry pile. Penelope rants about the bedroom chair while Veronica navigates a holiday wardrobe crisis that’s a bit too "cheeky" for comfort. We’re discussing why we don't tolerate nonsense in friendships anymore, the desperate need for "me time," and those sudden pig-brain memory lapses that leave us staring into space. Join us for quizzes, shower-direction debates, and plenty of peri-honesty.

    Judgement Day

    This week on The PeriPigs we're putting "Judgement Day" on trial. From the stigma of HRT and GLP-1 weight loss jabs to Botox, we're asking: Why is womens self care everyones else's business?We also dive into the literal horrors of the magnifying mirror (who knew that hair lived there?), the mystery of why we open our mouths to apply mascara, and the sweet escape of reality TV when life feels too much. Plus we talk about living with the edited life of social media vs the messy reality of it all, and keep your ears peeled for a PeriPigs first: Veronica has a full blown hot flush live on air. It's raw, it's sweaty and it's 100% unedited (sort of).
