Ibiza Backstage Antics, Wild Retirement Villages and Is Marriage Worth It?

This week, Brodie joins us again live from Croatia to debrief her wild solo travel adventures in Ibiza. She shares the behind-the-scenes scoop on her backstage antics meeting Dom Dolla, and the scary late-night hotel prank call she received in Frankfurt. We discuss new statistics revealing the massive percentage of adults projected to never marry, and debate whether a wedding and marriage are actually worth it. Plus, we couldn’t chat weddings without mentioning Taylor Swift’s wedding over the weekend, unpacking our completely unfiltered thoughts on it. (Don't hate us Swifties) With Matariki coming up this weekend, we reflect on our intentions for the year ahead. Tegan also gifts Gracie and Brodie a special charm from Pandora’s new limited-edition collection, where each charm represents a Matariki star. Gracie shares a chaotic parenting meltdown at the zoo (not her own), Brodie gives us the rundown on the rest of her Europe plans, and we ask the ultimate question: how often should you really wash your clothes?

Island Life in Croatia, Iconic Victorian Slang and Wildly Outdated Medical Terms

In this week's episode of Let Her Finish, Brodie Kane patches in from the island of Brač in Croatia while she is living up her 40th birthday Euro summer sabbatical. Joining us in the early hours of the morning with a very full glass of Aperol in hand, she tells us how she is living (and loving) the simple island life and her exciting birthday plans in Ibiza next week. We discuss the recent scary predictions of what the near future could look like with AI and the Victorian slang that needs to come back. Brodie gives us her official fashion report from Europe, explaining the footwear trend she has reluctantly fallen victim to just to survive the pebble beaches. We also hear about her deeply moving trip to Belgium, where she and her mum Jo visited Passchendaele to honor the Kiwi soldiers who fought on the Western Front. Gracie shares some outrageous and outdated medical terms used to describe women’s bodies that we still cannot wrap our heads around. Tegan shares an update on her wānanga journey and what she has been learning about the moon phases and Matariki intentions. Plus, we read some beautiful messages from you finishers in the wild.
