Advertise on podcast: Lise and Sarah

How is your end of year resilience holding up? Because this week Sarah was on the garage floor with a lump in her throat. After losing four podcast recordings, receiving an unwelcome message from the past and finding herself stranded with a dead car in torrential rain, she’s reached her Todd Woodbridge tipping point. But apparently, there’s science behind having a good cry. Lise, who last cried 13 years ago, is less convinced. Plus, Sarah’s entered her affirmations era and Lise has some questions about how much it’s costing her. Goldies, is it time to have a big, cathartic cry?

The new teenage sidehustle is backyard barbershops. With $30 fades, and 40 clients a week - all fitted around school hours of course - we're into it.  Meanwhile, Sarah has spotted a mysterious car with the number plate ‘MRBACON’. Who is he? A butcher? A distant relative of Kevin? We need your help to find this Porcine man of mystery.  Plus, Lise turns her rage onto Go-Karting industry, and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show brings back memories of her own time working with the Angels. Yes, she signed an NDA. No, she has absolutely no idea if it's still valid.Show NotesDo you have a tip off about 'MR BACON'?

Sarah ordered two slices of toast. She got one and a half. Normally, she’d have eaten it and said nothing. But not today. Not anymore. She asked for the other half of her toast, and Goldies, the sky did not fall in. Today we’re talking about the tiny ways women put up with things because they don't want to make a fuss. The missing toast, the bad service we tolerate and the fear of being labelled a ‘Karen’ for simply asking for what we want. Plus, the Goldies have been sharing their own acts of everyday rebellion. Is it time we all became - As Florence Given says - a little more of a bitch?

TV has frankly gotten too good. What we need is an evil twin, a demonic possession and a storyline we cab follow despite missing six weeks of episodes. Sarah is campaigning to bring back the daytime soap opera, because we think honestly think Passions was better than Severance. Meanwhile, a French woman's fashion rule says the secret to looking fabulous is trying a little less. Plus, are coin purses officially extinct? And Sarah's genius trick for getting a house full of teenage girls to actually sleep at a sleepover.The Fine Print:The French Rule of Dressing is here https://www.instagram.com/reels/DdyDkPrMh1s/ Want to support the show and become a Goldie? Subscribe to Lise and Sarah GOLD on Apple Podcasts here (http://apple.co/LiseandSarah) For Android users you can become a Goldie via Substack!

Ok so Goldies….we have officially tipped over into being mums of teens. Sarah’s on the floor - literally - because apparently being physically lower than teenagers is a good way to talk to them. Who knew. Meanwhile, Remy has his driver’s licence, and Lise is coping fine thanks. We’ve officially entered what is known as the ‘lighthouse era’ of motherhood; the stage when your kids start steering their own boats and your job is to stand on the shore, keep the light on and resist the urge to climb aboard and take over. Before you get weepy about it though, Captain Lise has a radical new approach to pitch.

We’re back. And before we hit the cluster of term 4, while our brains are still functioning, we’re predicting the upcoming trends of spring and summer. Peplums are back. Bandanas are lurking. White nighties are in. Wonderbras have risen from the dead. And there’s a brand new word we’d like you all to work into conversation this week: porcine. Consider this your unqualified spring/summer trend forecast!!

Every woman we know is conditioned to just… keep going. No matter what. Through bad jobs, bad relationships and sheer exhaustion. The men, on the other hand, are very comfortable walking away from things that don’t work for them. Today, it’s the think piece that made us pause; iss it time women stopped quietly quitting and started quitting… loudly? The full article “Men Are Onto Something: Quitting Is Great” is by Lindsay Crouse published in The New York Times. Lindsay Crouse is the author of The Case for Quitting: The Surprising Benefits of Opting Out published by Harper Collins 2026 Let us know what you think in the Facebook group! Are you quitting loudly?

It was a random Sunday. A random escape to the shops. And somehow, Lise had the kind of mythical shopping day where she reached flow state and everything just... worked. Pink denim? An olive satin skirt? Gorman??? Apparently yes. Whose to blame? The stars? The moon? Belinda Zuccarello? No. The David Jones credit card of course. Just don’t forget to cancel before the annual fee hits, right?

Lise has got her hands on Zoe Foster Blake’s new novel Group Chat and now has a simple question: are you the kind of friendship group who keeps talking about taking a girls’ trip....but never does? Because talking about a girls’ trip is easy. Actually booking it? A LOT harder. We talk about the money. The logistics. The mental load. And that weird little guilt that creeps in when you consider spending a significant chunk of time and money on an experience that is… just for you. And if money is the barrier, yep. we get it. Sarah has a genius idea that might finally get everyone onto a plane. Goldies, we need to know: what’s the trip you and your friends have been talking about taking?

It started with a question. A nagging one. Lise couldn't stop thinking what is my body actually doing underneath this Mirena? So, at 46 she decided to find out. Today, Lise gives Sarah the full three-month post-Mirena report. The conversation with her gynaecologist. The back up plans. The effects. And what happens when you start to pay close attention to your body Ps It's Dr Peta Wright at Vera Wellness in Samford. Nobody ask Sarah.

If you need a genuinely good read for the school holidays, we’ve got you. Liane Moriarty is back in the world of Big Little Lies with the very hotly antipated banger, Big Little Truths. It’s ten years later, with teenagers, perimenopause, ageing parents, school WhatsApp groups and one very mysterious severed finger. She joins us to talk why this stage of life gave her so much to work with. We also get into Hollywood casting, parenting teenagers who apparently don’t need you until suddenly they desperately do at midnight, and the experience of reading a book that feels just a little too much like your own life. Big Little Truths is out now. Consider your holiday reading sorted!

Remy’s semi-formal is two days away and the teenage Party House has entered full event-production mode. Because honestly, Remy’s mom has got it goin on. And also, she wants some things done around the house. So what better way to motivate your husband into painting the verandah then to ask 50 guests to come around before the School semi-formal? From the actual teenager logistics - no food! no corsages! To Dad’s R.M. Williams being squeezed onto feet one size too big, it’s all the things you ever wondered about teens, semi-formals, and how to keep your cool throughout it all.

When the Carlaw’s won the meat tray at the footy it was treated with the reverence of a third child. And it’s got Sarah thinking. Say you win big. A stonking powerball or a lotto. Who would you tell? How much would you give away? And if you kept it quiet… what would the signs be? Lise has a conspiracy theory about an Australian influencer, Sarah’s buying a place in Bondi, and Dane just wants the serenity of a Bonnie Doon-style mudflat. And, Gen Z apparently aren’t pashing anymore, if they even call it that.

We've done something we've never done in more than a decade of friendship: a sleepover. Kids were packed. Pillows were hauled across Brisbane. The Carlaws lit the fire pit. And for a night, two families merged into one. There were homemade burgers, marshmallows, pancakes, teenage awkwardness, an unexpectedly chivalrous jumper offer and $50 spent on Kayo for reasons Lise is still processing. But perhaps the elaborate girls weekend can wait. For now, the sleepover is the great friendship move.

At Casa Carlaws, they’re gearing up for a big week. They’re hosting the semi-formal "pre’s. Teenagers in suits and sateen, and the house looking it’s absolute best.That was until Max took hold of the high pressure hose, and created “art” on the driveway. Complete with ball hair. Can we all go live at Sarah’s instead, where it’s spa days, “huzz” talk and dreamy French braid aesthetics? Meanwhile, Sarah has officially had enough of the digital leash, is paying your kids “brave dollars” actually genius parenting, and meet the perfect rescue dog: a three-legged Jack Russell called TotoThe Fine Print:Send us something for the background!
