A brand new podcast hosted by writers and best friends, Maggie Kelly & Tully Smyth.
"We've done the therapy, so you don't have to."
Modern women are done with hiding. Divorce, infertility, fledgling careers, single parenthood - the so-called taboos of female ‘failure’ are quickly becoming our favourite topics. Why? Because we’ve all been there.
Under the glossy exterior of success, we’re all just trying to dodge the demands: be sexy, be smart, be brave, be a wife, be a mother, be a feminist, be fit, be fun… but don’t talk about it. We’re burning down the facade and telling it like it is.
Self Help(ed) is where those stories live - unfiltered, hilarious, vulnerable and real. Each episode dives into the messiness of modern womanhood with honesty, humour and hindsight. It’s second-hand therapy, the space we wish we had during our hardest chapters… and now, it’s yours too.
This is, Self Help(ed).

Hitting rock bottom sounds terrifying - but what if it’s actually the start of something better?
In this episode, Maggie and Tully open up about the times they burned it all down and had to rebuild from scratch. From ending marriages to walking away from entire lives, they share why starting over can feel freeing, what it teaches you about yourself, and why 'rock bottom' might just be your launch pad.
Expect honest stories, some tough therapy-style notes, and a homework assignment designed to help you let go of what’s holding you back. Because starting over isn’t about becoming someone new - it’s about shedding everything that was never truly you.
Along the way, they dig into Pamela Anderson’s surprise glow-up romance, call BS on toxic self-help clichés, and dish out their own therapy homework for anyone facing a fresh start.
