Back To Me

This week on Back to Me - two very different weekends.Katie leaned fully into her garden era (plants were purchased, naturally), while Lisa was out living her best life at the BIG DAY OUT. Balance.We also get into the chaos around Pints and Ponytails ( @Thesecretlifeofdads ) and why their trolls seriously need to get a life. Opinions are shared. Strongly.Expect the usual mix of nonsense, side tracking and absolutely no resolution to anything.Listen now and decide whose weekend you’d rather have.

In this episode we cover skiing (none of us are professionals, let’s be clear - definitely not Katie anyway), Lisa’s ongoing book progress (it’s happening…we're excited) and the absolute crime that is ID photos.Katie’s is, without exaggeration, a doozy. Genuinely concerning. Borderline unrecognisable.There’s also the usual chaos, interruptions and at least one moment where we completely forget what we were originally talking about (sure that's every week).

World politics, "the" files and why Lisa absolutely cannot cope with either.Lisa’s latest wellness discovery - an energy therapist - while Katie remains… sceptical.Plus the book update, the current price of gold (for reasons no one fully understands) and Katie’s granny celebrating another birthday.

This week we deep dive into Netflix - from How to Get to Heaven from Belfast to Bridgerton - because nothing says intellectual growth like period drama and Northern Irish chaos.We absolutely do not discuss the Epstein files because Lisa cannot cope and we value her nervous system.We answer real questions from Lisa’s followers.Katie is forced to answer first.It goes exactly as badly as you’d hope.There’s unsolicited life coaching, accidental honesty and a what-you'd-expect conversation about "face brushing".

Lisa takes us through her contact lens journey, which somehow turns into a full emotional experience. If you wear lenses, you’ll feel seen. If you don’t, you’ll feel smug (Katie).We briefly unpack a local “BinGATE” situation that absolutely does not matter to most of you… but we make it matter anyway. Because that’s talent.We cautiously touch on the Epstein files - lightly, confidently and with exactly the level of research you’d expect from us - and then tackle two questions from Lisa’s followers. By “tackle” we mean Lisa makes Katie answer first with absolutely no preparation, purely for her own entertainment.

The Beckhams are having drama, TV is calling and we’re questioning our own “normal” habits… all in one episode. Tune in for laughs, awkward truths and the kind of banter only Back To Me can deliver.

It’s the final episode of Season 2 and we’re officially signing off for Christmas.In this one, we get cosy and do a proper end-of-season catch-up. We chat Christmas films (the good, the questionable and the ones mostly Katie doesn't like), shout out a few local restaurants we love – apologies in advance if you don’t live near us – and reflect on what this season has actually taught us.There’s a bit of nostalgia, a bit of honesty and the usual chaos, as we wrap up Season 2 and head into a Christmas break.Thank you for listening, watching and sticking with us this season. We’ll be back (bit threatening eh?)

This week we’re talking video game weapons of choice. Lisa goes straight for a flame thrower because she thinks it’s very epic, while Katie – a past gamer – knows what's up: the Halo energy sword.We also dip into some sensible territory with the mental load and how to manage Christmas without losing your mind.And finally, Lisa’s Santa inflatable. It does nothing all day, then at 4pm it perks up – but only after Lisa gets involved.Chaos, comfort and questionable Christmas décor – enjoy.

This week on Back to Me, we face an important dilemma… which one of us would actually make it on I’m a Celebrity? Lisa? Absolutely not. Katie? As long as she can close her eyes under water.We also dive into Christmas trees. Lisa’s is a perfectly curated, beautiful tree that matches the tone of her room. Katie’s is .. not that.Plus, we chat through our Christmas traditions – the ones we love, the ones we pretend to love and the ones we’ll be carrying on whether anyone else likes them or not.Expect the usual teasing, questionable opinions, and plenty of festive chaos.

Katie is having a lazy day – Lisa, of course, blames the moon. We catch up on each other’s weekends, share some unexpectedly passionate opinions about hoovers and mops and generally question what in the world are we talking about. So yeah… it’s one of those episodes.

This week we dive into the real meanings behind some of the sayings we all use without thinking, and somehow end up talking about celebrity traitors, too. Lisa fills us in on her appearance on Lorraine – yes, the actual TV show – and, in the biggest shock of all, she booked a dinner table for 10.30pm. Will she ever recover? Will Katie?

This week we’re talking grammar (exciting!!!), the things that constantly irritate Lisa and a very confusing life coaching segment about what Lisa calls “the emotional tunnel” and Katie absolutely does not understand. There are metaphors that may or may not make sense, patient explanations and absolutely no progress made whatsoever.As ever, we laugh at each other (and ourselves), question everything and still manage to offer nothing helpful.Listen, share and tell us your own irrational annoyances for next week.

In this week's episode we dive into the science of swearing and why it might actually make you feel better, whether you want it to or not. We also somehow end up back on Netflix, reborn dolls (again), and a few grammar corrections along the way. And yes, Katie admits Lisa was right about something. It is documented now. Forever.Listen, laugh, and feel slightly smarter by the end. Or at least more emphatic.

This week on Back to Me we somehow manage to cover grief, Netflix (because when do we not), Katie’s ongoing battle with her boiler and Lisa’s possibly totally rational fear of roads.It’s one of those episodes that starts with chaos, detours through a surprisingly grounded chat about how we handle loss and ends with questionable life choices. We even tried to tie up some loose ends. So pretty normal then.

JK Rowling, Jay Shetty, monks, partners, significant others, weddings, 13th, Shakra, moons.It'll all make sense if you listen (possibly)

Episode 3 is pure chaos: we tackle the rapture (light bedtime chat, obviously), Nicole Kidman’s “secret daughter” and the movie that was filmed in Antrim. Oh, and because nothing ever goes smoothly, the camera broke — so enjoy half a picture for half the episode. Classic us.Hit play, laugh along and subscribe for more questionable content.

Katie was horrified by the "Virgin Island" TV show and is now raging at Lisa who is finding this very funny. Add in a deep dive into Sylvia Browne’s bizarre predictions, Lisa’s latest Instagram update and the very serious question of whether “postmenopause” actually exists — and you’ve got another classic Back to Me episode.Expect laughter, chaos and Katie’s blood pressure going up just a little bit.Listen now, laugh with us and subscribe for more questionable life commentary.

And we’re kicking it off with a brand new segment: Down Yer' Hole (this could change). Expect tangents, questionable research, and a few things you probably didn’t need to know.Same nonsense, new season.

It’s the end of the season (only because Lisa is going on holiday) and we’re going out the way we came in: slightly chaotic, over-caffeinated and with Katie wondering if anyone actually cares about our day-to-day lives. We consider deleting our early episodes (they’re character-building, right?), celebrate Lisa’s son passing his driving test (with strict two roundabout boundaries) and dip our toes into the world of AI - obviously, we’re experts now.Thanks for sticking with us - see you next season for more nonsense.

Lisa, fresh off the high of being a guest on Joss Stone and Lemar’s podcast (A Cuppa Love), is still buzzing - and Katie’s recovering from hearing only one side of the convo (all the things, none of the context). To balance that conversation high, we dive into the topics of freezers, elephants and whatever else our brains tangent off to.Unfiltered? Always.Off-topic? Obviously.Exactly what you didn’t know you needed? Uh huh.

This week on Back to Me, Lisa gets a taste of the high life on a friend’s boat and decides she might actually be posh now. Meanwhile, Katie shares a story from the archives – let’s just say it involves a baby, an airport and a moment she’ll never live down (no spoilers, but… oof).Meanwhile, BOTH Lisa and Katie get recognised in the wild (yes, fame has officially arrived), and naturally, they handle it with grace... or something like that.Unfiltered chat? Always. Recognition on the street? Apparently. A boat story you didn’t ask for but absolutely needed? You're welcome.

This week, Lisa shares some quite brilliant tips and tricks for looking after your own mental health. Then things take a turn, Lisa casually admits to eating food before paying for it in supermarkets and we dive into the world of eggcorns – it’s all fun and games until someone takes something for granite.

This week, we’re talking sleep (or lack of it). From snoring partners to separate beds — yes, we’re calling for a rebrand of “sleep divorce” (watch this space) — Katie and Lisa dive into the realities of sharing a bed and when it’s ok to not. Katie attempts to name famous life coaches (with mixed success), while Lisa invents a new game: Which TV show has Katie not seen? Spoiler: it’s harder than you’d think.PS we've switched to Wednesday launch days - Lisa says it'll be easy no pressure.

In this episode of Back to Me, we dive into our stories of travel disasters (spoiler: Katie hates traveling), how she managed to lock poor producer Billy out of the house (awkward) and the power of stepping out of your comfort zone — according to Lisa, that’s where all the good stuff is hiding. We also talk about "the 99th email" and get into a very serious debate over whether Davina McCall actually replied to one of Lisa’s comments…Expect laughter, bickering and the kind of unfiltered waffle you didn’t know you needed.

Lisa has officially peaked – Joss Stone followed her on Instagram. Yes, really. No, she hasn’t shut up about it. No we can't blame her (heart eyes emoji!) We also dive into the age-old debate: can you love the art but hate the artist? (Spoiler: it’s complicated). And we reveal our alter ego names – because obviously we’d be iconic even in an alternate universe.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking journaling habits, the emotional rollercoaster that is Adolescence on Netflix, meditation, spitting, showering, Thai massages... oh the list is endless.Katie also confidently introduces it as episode 8, which… it isn’t. But we let her have her moment.

Episode 8 is here and naturally, we’re talking about… the number 8. Because that’s obviously what everyone was waiting for. Lisa celebrates her anniversary (aww), we break down the unspoken rules of society (no, you should not answer the phone at the restaurant table) and, of course, we couldn’t get through an episode without a deep and completely necessary discussion on life coaching. Life-changing stuff (probably is really).

In this episode, we dive into the world of self-tanning, the things we were told as kids that still mess with us today and Lisa's review of the new Bridget Jones’s Diary. From streaky legs to childhood beliefs that have no business following us into adulthood, we’re unpacking it all - well we're at least half unpacking it then getting distracted.

In this episode, we completely forget what our podcast is actually about and dive into reviewing movies, books and concerts like it’s our job (It’s not). Meanwhile, Lisa sneaks in some life coaching wisdom about why sweating the small stuff actually matters - join in on our game of Good Advice Bad Advice.As you may know by now - expect questionable takes, unsolicited opinions and the usual chaos.

This week we cover all the essentials: sweat, longevity and personal upkeep. Katie experiences a personal climate crisis, Lisa gets deep into the world of body maintenance and we celebrate the true legend - Katie’s granny - turning 96! Basically, it’s an episode of endurance, wisdom and unfortunately, perspiration.

In this episode, we explored attachment styles (because self-awareness is so on brand for (one of) us), upgraded our setup with matching mics like real pros and - most importantly - heard how Lisa confidently renamed ‘photo bomb’ to ‘photo boom.’ Naturally, Katie handled this with grace (she did not). We also learned that Lisa definitely doesn’t leave her crystals outside to charge under the full moon.

Is the full moon really making us crazy, or is it just Katie? In this episode, we dive into lunar chaos, parenting life and the mystical world of angel numbers—though Katie remains highly skeptical. Expect laughter, sarcasm and a few questionable life insights.

Is Facebook secretly listening to your conversations? We dive into the age-old conspiracy (and our totally unscientific evidence). Plus, in today’s life coaching "segment", Lisa tries to inspire… until Katie bursts that bubble 🫠Hit play for laughs, unfiltered opinions and the usual chaos of unfinished stories. Don’t forget to subscribe and tell us - do you think Facebook is spying on you? 👀

In their first ever podcast, Lisa and Katie talk about Xs on texts, how Lisa unfollowed Katie and how Katie gets to do the editing so has the power over everything .. LOL
