  • YAAS queens! 👸🏼👸🏻

    Everything everyone else said, but honestly - so beautiful to hear the respect you show your askers. Thanks for not talking all over each other and racing through this week’s buzzwords to show how down with the kids you are! The way you laugh at yourselves is so refreshing, and encouraging for the rest of us. Thanks Tara and Marian xx

  • Loving this Podcast

    Introduced to this podcast by THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST when he had a ramble chat with Marian. I’ve always thought she seemed a lovely person, but goodness me she really is the Real deal.

    I haven’t come across Tara before, but she sounds great too, going to be one of my regular podcast for 2025 I can tell!
