Tessa recently had to think on her feet and nearly froze. She goes through her thought processes with Stevie and they both work out the best way to prevent yourself from covering your face in your hands while screaming I DON'T KNOW IM STUPID IN SORRY. Which often doesn’t work in meetings.

How to Go to the Hairdressers22 Nov 202200:33:42

While this is for everyone, Stevie and Tessa have never met a cis man who doesn’t freak out before the hairdressers then leave looking like an embarrassed military general – so this is also very much for you. Here’s how to get a hair cut with the least amount of stress possible (eg TAKE A PICTURE OF WHEN YOU HAD NICE HAIR AND SHOW IT TO THE HAIRDRESSER).

How to Swallow a Pill15 Nov 202200:31:21

WARNING: We say to crush the pill like you’re a little dog in this episode but according to NHS guidelines this can affect the release of the medication so SPEAK TO YOUR GP FIRST.


Tessa can’t swallow pills. Stevie can. Rather than give pointless advice like “push it to the back of your throat what’s wrong with you”, they delve into the psychological reason behind pill swallowing aversion and things get VERY deep and hopefully VERY helpful to anyone listening with similar issues re chalky horrible paracetamol.

Stevie and Tessa tackle these questions and more, though they do spend far too long on the shoe one as it turns out both of them have deep trauma (Stevie of her bare feet and terrible socks, Tessa on the concept of asking guests to keep their shoes on.
