Can’t Cope

In this episode, Kelsey and Rebecca catch up after a chilled January week. Kelsey shares her excitement over sticking to routines, new skincare, and healthy eating, though her dishwasher drama is giving 2026 energy already. She also introduces us to her new TikTok friendship with King Guinea Adventures, a viral guinea pig account that was filmed in her hometown church. Meanwhile, Rebecca is deep in life admin. Booking her dream Japan trip, dealing with her fear of flying (and tsunamis), and planning her mum’s 70th birthday weekend in London, including her controversial thoughts on Mamma Mia the musical.The girls also dive into this week’s topic. “Things We Buy to Feel Something.” From Boots splurges and unread books to gemstone obsessions and luxury holidays that didn’t quite hit the spot, they explore how consumer habits can reflect deeper feelings. Rebecca opens up about past spending patterns as a way to avoid what was really going on emotionally, even if it meant multiple solo trips to Italy, endless toiletries, or booking flights just to feel alive. There’s laughs, reflections, and a little bit of emotional growth… plus a near-death experience in Supermac’s. Standard. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The girls are back for the first full episode of 2026 with a frosty, festive debrief. Rebecca’s battling the January blues, cancelling egg freezing (again), and desperately seeking a quiet month, but her calendar has other plans. Kelsey’s getting into glamour magic, fashion design and… accidentally stealing TV remotes. They share stories of falling over in public, Baileys in wine glasses, missing countdowns, lemon bonbons, and being locked out barefoot.Then it’s into the topic. What they actually want from 2026. From reading more (or at least pretending to), to creative resolutions, travel plans, major life upgrades and figuring out how to have a soft, slow year, or at least a less hectic one. There’s audiobook chat, small delusions, and a bit of vague manifestation thrown in for good measure. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s Christmas Eve Eve and Kelsey and Rebecca are hanging on by a thread. Between hangovers, festive exhaustion, and emotions running at an all-time high, this episode is chaotic in the best possible way. From crackers that feel like chalk when you’re hungover, to cocktails with tongues in Oxford, shark houses on suburban roofs, work Christmas parties, bauble painting, ice skating with screaming children, and solo carousel rides that send us into tears. This episode is a full festive brain dump. The girls also take a nostalgic turn with The Muppets Christmas Carol, adult Christmas comedies, reality TV binges, and why December seems to turn everyone into an emotional wreck.As it’s the final episode before Christmas, Kelsey and Rebecca slow things down (slightly) and reflect on what they’re truly grateful for this year. They talk about careers, therapy, personal growth, turning 30, family holidays, moving in with a partner, and finding healthy, green-flag love. There are tears, laughter, gratitude, and zero emotional regulation, capped off with the Irish government officially granting Santa clearance to enter Irish airspace (which absolutely broke them). Grab a cup of tea, get cosy, and join them for a festive, fragile, and very heartfelt episode of Can’t Cope. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s a classic catch-up. Kelsey’s telling us about her week in London that included getting absolutely soaked in Guinness at a gig, DJing with the Christmas spirit in full swing, and attempting the impossible task of getting Christmas presents delivered to Ireland. She’s also deep in homesickness mode, cooking up funeral sandwiches and homemade taco fries to bring a bit of Ireland to her London kitchen. Meanwhile, Rebecca’s soaking up Dublin life with gigs galore, a magical night at the panto, and a game-changing trip to Amber Grill (potato cakes + curry sauce = life-changing). There’s also a lot of chocolate talk, a deep appreciation for Butler’s, and the universal stress of not knowing what to buy people for Christmas.Then it’s into the topic, “Jobs We’d Love to Have But Are Completely Unqualified For.” From Olympic figure skater and high-stakes detective to fashion designer and EU interpreter, the girls unpack all the careers they still kind of believe they’d be brilliant at. If only they had the time, talent, or the ability to stomach a crime scene. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The holidays are nearly here, but things are anything but peaceful. Kelsey had a rough week after a group of youths grabbed her phone in London, though thankfully she managed to get it back. Rebecca took a temporary break from her gig‑going era to attend a panto, but don’t worry, she’ll be back screaming the house down at concerts with her man this week. Rebecca absolutely cannot cope with living in fear in her own home, specifically the fear of someone breaking in, and Nytol every night is simply not a sustainable solution.Kelsey, on the other hand, is spiralling over new reports (TikToks) stating that cold plunges may not be good for women… mainly because, as usual, almost all studies are done on men. Maybe they’ll release female research in 2048. The girls are easing into the festive spirit with some strong Christmas hot takes, including Rebecca’s controversial thoughts on Santa Claus (parents, do not let the kids hear this one). Kelsey defends Christmas music with her whole chest… just don’t mention Michael Bublé. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
