Chitty Chat
With over 35 years of friendship, four marriages, two divorces and three children between them, there is pretty much no subject that these two have left untouched. In fact, it is a miracle that these two have not run out of things to say. A regular weekly three-hour walk with lots of ‘chit and chat’ led to the birth of their Chitty Chat podcast. Loaded with enthusiasm and fun, each week Emma and Bobo pick a subject for a deep dive, a few tangents, with lots of wisdom and laughter along the way.

New Year, New you, Old you

It’s January — so obviously we’re all supposed to have our lives together by now.
New habits. New mindset. New personality. Preferably before lunch.
In this episode, Emma and Bobo dive headfirst into the whole “New Year, New You” nonsense — unpacking why resolutions feel inspiring for about five minutes before immediately making us want to lie down forever. They talk broken promises to ourselves, the guilt of not “doing enough,” and the very real emotional support role played by snacks (biscuits absolutely count as dinner, thank you!).
Somewhere between the laughs, they land on a refreshingly kind truth:
you don’t need to reinvent yourself to be worthy. You can want better things for yourself without bullying yourself into them.
Emma wrestles with the urge to improve everything, while Bobo calmly reminds us that the “old you” has actually survived a lot — and maybe deserves a little respect, a cup of tea, and a very long lie down.
