Starting point is 00:03:17 wrong one every time i got pissed i kept posting it on the public one including my friend pouring champagne down my throat which was meant to go on close friends the thing is the reason why i was elusive is not because I was doing anything dodgy I was just in case that moment in time came where we went on the red list while I was there okay then I didn't want to look like a knob basically um so yeah we were both in Ibiza um we didn't go together we went separately so we had probably quite different experiences but then while i was there i saw loads of people that i knew same um so it was meant to be a honeymoon but we did end up going out both of us yeah you look like you did to be fair can i just say people often say like how are you and ashley friends because you're so
Starting point is 00:04:12 different they don't know what we're like together and we're not that different but people think we are and i think the one moment that like solidifies why we are best friends is this i'm scrolling through instagram and ashley has taken out her hairpiece at a beach party she looked gorgeous of course gorgeous hairpiece and she has then taken it out she's swinging it round in the toilet and putting it on people's heads and she was down someone's pants in her hand with like a rose in the other waving it pale of course so literally i saw that and i was like that's my girl that's why we're friends so i went out that morning um to a beach club and i'll start from the beginning i went out like you said i mean
Starting point is 00:05:02 i might say so myself i look pretty um fresh i had my hair done in the hairdresser and i was like i might get a little bit wet today so i'm gonna tie it all back good idea my ponytail weaving so um we did that lots of hairspray it was all you actually went to hairdressers i went every day in a ponytail i went every day okay okay so then um we arrived at the beach club and i had a new bikini on um and we were meeting some of my husband's like business people who does that a beach go resort yeah anyway i went hi and it was really warm i took my jacket off and i was stood talking to them and ed turned around to me and went ashley mate you've got your tits and i was like
Starting point is 00:05:49 these two men had been stood having a grown-up conversation with me and both and i think that happened about four times but then they got a champagne spray and they did it definitely on purpose because they could tell i was really like i'm not getting wet i'm not putting my toe in the pool so i got absolutely blasted and then i was like fuck it may as well take the hairpiece out and swing my dick around the toilet you literally kill me that is just something i would do so yeah um so where did you go sweetheart so i went to be through as well um not with my husband we just i went with the girls uh we had a really good time i embarrassed myself obviously so many times um as usual but it wasn't that anything that stood out i can't
Starting point is 00:06:43 repeat it oh what like so illegal oh not fucking illegal no just like really embarrassing i went out one night and i stayed out all night um and i got a taxi home the next day the girls had gone back to the room and i was really really drunk and i was still drunk at 10 in the morning so i got a taxi i went down to the hotel looking absolutely horrific and asked for a taxi i had to ring the girls and say you need to meet me at the hotel and get me out of the taxi and pay for it because i'm fucked so they came down and got me out and uh yeah i slept then i missed that night in a body bag i literally was sweating in a body bag in my room until the next day but resurrected from the death it was shocking and it was absolutely shocking however we did some really
Starting point is 00:07:28 nice things as well um a lot of people are gonna be through at the minute yes what are your reckon like where would you what are you like go-to's for um so we went to this place called experimental beach and that was really good but our favorite place that we went to was called casamaca yes did you go oh i was too drunk when we had it booked but i've heard it's really really good but what we did discuss was our getting ready for your holiday tips yes yes yes okay we really need to share this so ashley water retention tablets i don't get it ever actually so i'm good but one of my friends gets quite bad like bloating on the plane and when she's on a period and she takes water retention tablets but you know that bodybuilders do this like to make their abs pop
Starting point is 00:08:14 so if you take a water retention tablet then you piss all of the fluid in your body out so you look like more ripped then like dehydrated yeah so like obviously you know being all like um into all of those kind of weird stuff i knew about that um and lauren i was speaking to her on the phone before she went and she was like oh my friend's gonna take some water retention tablets i was like sweetheart no i've made that mistake before you get absolutely twisted if you take them because obviously you're really dehydrated you've been drinking since like 6 a.m then the sun is like blasting down on you then you yeah then the next day you're like quivering like that's like me like you know when you're that hungover and you open your eyes so you can't
Starting point is 00:09:00 get my glass yeah and your insides shake human earthquake so i was meant to tell her about this and i forgot till we'd got there and she had a couple of drinks i was like shit i needed to tell you don't take your watch she was like i've had five i'm steaming was she okay her abs look great it was fucking mortal but then the other tip that i told you what was the other tip shaving yes so i did a full when ashley rang me i was in the bath she was on speaker and she was like what you doing it's like getting ready probably like you're shaving everything aren't you i was like yeah i was a baby dolphin i shaved every part of me um just in case and then she was like why are you doing it now you do it when you get there so you take your razor and you do it when you have
Starting point is 00:09:42 your like post-flight shower then you shave everything charlie's nodding everyone knew this except yeah honestly there you go when I got to Ibiza my first thing to do wasn't get in the shower and shave my vagina I was off I was out I was ready we went to STK the first night and you were so um yeah you were judgmental of STK weren't you you thought he was quite chubby and actually it was but I fit in there really well we had the best time like the weather spoons of Ibiza isn't it can i have a blue woo woo with me stk please darling it was it was actually really good we had a real life we got drunk but not like silly drunk and then i don't know if anyone saw the video of the waiter when he tripped and spilled all the whole drinks did you see that please can
Starting point is 00:10:27 we repost that i missed it you missed it so the waiter had all these drinks on his hand and he kind of came the dad the waiters like get dead into it they're like dancing up to the table and it was this like he's like latino and he's like his hips are going so we're like oh my god go back let us film it so he's like okay so he goes back and because we're filming him coming to the table with drinks he was extra so he was like bum bum bum bum bum bum and then as he came with this massive drink he tripped he threw the drinks at the table every there must have been five smash they threw on me they were everywhere and he was like oh my god everyone was laughing and then all the staff were like can you send us that video please i'm gonna show it yet so that it's really
Starting point is 00:11:03 funny so that made our made our time but actually i liked sdk didn't mind it would you go to the in london knows that chubby too i've never been so i can't comment good enough of your comments so head over to our instagram and we will repost the video of said waiter we will repost it you will all die it was all about so blah blah blah blah that was our trip you know where we went a little bit we want to know more about what lauren did but i think she's not overcome the anxiety just yet so we have seen some very funny stories this week one of which is a tiktok user revealed on daily mail how she caught her boyfriend cheating after spotting a woman's leg a glass of wine and a chanel book reflected in a snapper pin watching the olympics with the boys
Starting point is 00:11:56 this reminds me of the spoon yes this is what i thought i was like this is the spoon on a bigger scale like honestly what happened what happened so i think her boyfriend put a picture up and she zoomed in on like you know when you get those cabinets that are mirror yeah she zoomed in and she can see like i'm sorry i'm looking at the picture now he was stupid he was he was at a girl's house you can tell that that's a girl's house he deserved to get caught oh 100 so um yeah we love these stories keep them coming in literally reminded me of one um that i've been when we did the cheating app i totally forgot to tell you about so one of the girls that we used to work with at maya i'm just gonna whisper her name okay so that you understand she was she's
Starting point is 00:12:42 the funniest person ever and she was seeing this guy and he went he was kind of on and off with his ex and he told her it was totally all over with his ex so they were like fully seeing each other by this point he went away for the weekend he was like i'm going away um with the lads i'm just gonna take a little bit of time away i'm gonna have a weekend away so she's like okay fine then he didn't really speak to her on this weekend away alarm bells and then she went on the um on his ex's instagram which by the way insta is just so good for finding everything so she goes on it and this woman is camping in wales so she was like that's weird they're both away but he's with the lads so she confronted him camping lucky bitch i know wow um so she confronted him and he
Starting point is 00:13:19 was like no i was i was with the lads i went to barcelona with the lads i was not in wales at all so she was like okay well can you prove that in any way you're gonna die so he sends these pictures of himself with his mates in barcelona right and we looked at them i was like something's not right about any photoshop right so in the pictures they were from years ago when he went to barcelona with his mates no wait he was bald at this time he now had hair he spray painted hair onto the picture using paint so we're looking at these pictures and we're like something's weird about this picture and he's like yeah see this is me with the lads last week in barcelona we were like something isn't right so we zoomed in i was like i know about this shit he's drawn he's just
Starting point is 00:14:05 paint yeah and he painted brown hair on his bald head so and so that it looked like it was it was from two years ago i can't believe he just had a hair transplant no so in the pictures from two years ago in Barcelona he just was he had a shaven head but since then he'd grown his hair so he had to draw his hair onto the bald head I can't remember I think she was like you photoshopped that on and he was like don't be ridiculous mate I've got something that I did that's really fucking embarrassing and you know I don't often look like a psycho bitch or I try my best not to i uphold the reputation of ice queen okay i i slipped i slipped okay there was this guy that i was seeing and i must have liked him maybe more than i let on because i was checking like other
Starting point is 00:14:57 girls i've followed and stuff like that you know i was bored what could i say um and i went on this girl and him and her were in the same location as in country at the same time anyway she had uploaded a picture of like the moon so it was her feet and then there was a lad's foot in the corner of the picture so when he got home like um all the girls were like take a picture of his foot so that we can compare it right are you ready a barefoot yeah a barefoot i'd left the flash on my camera and why the fuck are you taking pictures of my feet oh no was it his fault though and then and then a few days later he went on my phone for something and there was a comparison oh my god what like you put them next to each other what the fuck is this was it his fault do you think
Starting point is 00:15:52 did you ever find out yeah for sure i think it was his fault bastard his hairy foot today's episode we've not even told you like properly what we're talking about but it's all about self-confidence and linking back into like stories of the week while we've been away another story that broke is about a very famous footballer now do you know what i'm talking about i know exactly what you're talking about it's been everywhere it's been everywhere he has been in the press for similar things which is why i think it was jumped on so easily however um yeah it's not nice is it what do you think of that situation like i when i saw it i honestly feel really sorry for him i felt sad yeah i feel a bit sad because there's something going on there and those girls
Starting point is 00:16:42 had taken advantage of him and i saw this meme and automatically like in our group chat what we're very upfront and we don't like anything shady you know like sometimes you see someone taking a picture of you i'd rather someone came over to me and might kind of take a picture of you i actually once was on a date with someone sorry to digress do you remember this um i don't know i was on a date with someone in a really dark restaurant in alderley edge and there was you and you it's called everyone will hopefully know it's closed now so um there was a table of people which knew my ex next to me and i was sat like i thought it was going to be a really like not that i was doing anything bad but it was just a donkey again left the flash on and took a picture
Starting point is 00:17:27 of me and the guy so i turned around and i just flipped i was like why the hell can you be taking pictures of me and the guy that i was with was a bit like so i don't please i didn't kick off too much but that's a scenario of like you've had it done to you probably and do you know what someone famous not really famous um what would you call it a reality tv person that's well known once videoed a group of girls that were just having fun in ocean beach club and she was literally criticizing how drunk they were what they were wearing do you remember this yeah i do and i was like do you know what fucking let them live it's so offensive i find when people are living their life like there's no need for you to take a picture and especially famous people like i would
Starting point is 00:18:15 never secretly take a picture of someone famous like in a shady way at all and i just thought if it was the other way around and it was a girl and you know a female celebrity and lads were stood getting their dicks out in a face that'd be fucking i absolutely agree i think one of the things that irritates me is when women want us to be equal yes um and women go on about this and then things like that happen which are not so if you want to be equal it works both ways hon yeah and one of the ways it works that is actually men can be taken advantage of too yeah and it's inappropriate i agree however i also being the kind of girl that gets blackout shit-faced drunk and does silly embarrassing things i have to feel for them that they were probably pissed
Starting point is 00:19:06 thought it was pretty funny like when i keep um share when i kept sharing things from a whole full instagram not my close friends they probably thought it was a bit of a lol the downing champagne way and then after they really thought shit they probably didn't expect it so i have to feel for them as maybe they weren't being malicious but i do agree on the woman thing if that was a woman it wouldn't be okay they'd probably be arrested for something a hundred percent so let's all remember that gals right okay okay lauren you're getting something big done so i am gonna get filler in my hip dips i've already had this i know you have you've already had everything i'm copying so i before i say this this is annoying but i feel like i have to do a
Starting point is 00:19:53 disclaimer there's nothing wrong with hip dips everybody's allowed to have hip dips they can i don't judge other women for theirs however i just don't really like mine um i can go to the gym loads and loads really work out and actually the more i work out the worse it looks because my muscle develops above and below them and i get like a proper dip and it just annoys me now i could leave it but i can do something about it so i'm gonna um you've had it done yeah yours looks amazing i will be getting it done the next time we record so actually i'll be fresh off the needle so i can tell you all about it next time i'm gonna just have it in my hip dips for a couple of reasons one for my own confidence obviously we're going to be talking a
Starting point is 00:20:32 little bit more about self-confidence today but also i'm going to try and be a bit more open about things i do you've kind of i you've pushed me to be like this because normally i would have it done i wouldn't tell a soul i'd be like i was born that way yeah because i find it a little bit that you get from work that you've had done or people think you've had done and yeah i've kind of pushed you into like the whole get it done and don't give a fuck yeah if you want it own it and you've really helped me with that and so the the reason of that is partly so that i can say own it but also so that if there are any girls on my instagram watching my videos watching my stories thinking fuck's sake she hasn't even got hip dips and i've got them i can be like no i did have them
Starting point is 00:21:15 yeah but uh i gotta i got that sorted so i just want to be more transparent so yeah i'm gonna do it i'm gonna tell you where i get it done i'm gonna video it and stuff and talk about it more next time cool story bro okie dokie then so self-fucking confidence yes you've come to the right place because i'm the fucking queen of it so let's get going on talking about a few different things. So first off, we're going to start by talking about things which could shake your self-confidence. And we're going to talk about overcoming them, different scenarios. Then we're going to talk about recovering your self-confidence after something has happened. Ashley, I feel like one of the things I admire you for is your self-confidence. And I think everyone can learn
Starting point is 00:22:05 a little bit from you with this. So I asked Ashley if she would give us her top tips on being a bad bitch so lauren gave us her top tips on breakups you ran through them and a lot of people found them very very useful i enjoyed them myself as well so i'm gonna run through a few different points i'm just gonna ramble at you for a minute and preach so whenever you're feeling low girls save this little snippet look yourself in the eye in the mirror and repeat after me how to be a bad bitch now the concept of being a bad bitch is not about being a bitch it's a vibe it's a lifestyle it's a choice it's not being a twat it's not being a twat no it's not being a twat and it's not being obnoxious and it's not being nasty or judgy or thinking you are all that it's completely different
Starting point is 00:22:59 it is self-acceptance so first point ctfo chill the fuck out okay don't overthink things if it requires too much thought then it doesn't require you don't stretch yourself you don't always need to be present what does that mean so you know you think that by being everywhere and being everyone's friend that people are going to like you resulting in self-confidence whereas the more present you are in the moment if you save all of your energy then people get a better version of you even if you go rather than spreading yourself too thinly and have it yeah exactly the more chill you are the more of what you need comes to you so when i say that i mean like don't chase things okay so what's meant to be will come to you type thing exactly never try too hard or compare
Starting point is 00:23:55 yourself and learn to laugh at yourself i think the laughing at yourself we're good exactly because you know if you walked into a club and you fell flat on your ass and you started crying and ran off everyone would laugh at you whereas if you fell on your ass and went someone get me a tequila and burst out laughing everyone would be like go on last yes so yeah there you go okay forget what doesn't give you happiness what does that mean so if something is eating away at your happiness just forget it move on keep it moving so anything that's in your mind that is bringing you negativity or self-doubt you'll get rid of it exactly how do you get rid of that by always trying your best so what i say is all i need to know at the end of the day is that i've tried my
Starting point is 00:24:44 best at doing whatever i've done that day then i know that i can lie my head on the pillow know that i've had pure thoughts i've not spoken bad about anyone i've really put my all in i've been a reliable human then i can go to sleep resting at night okay does that make sense okay so next one don't let others thoughts consume you so is that like don't let what other people's um opinions or yeah like affect you so like that nasty website we've not looked at it for months no because what's the fucking point okay i get it yeah so you know one negative thought can destroy and day so do not think anything negative as soon as a thought gets in your head of she said that she didn't like my pink shoes fuck it off buy more pink shoes good bye okay next one you do not need
Starting point is 00:25:41 permission to shine you do not need permission to shine tell me more about that right okay so if you want to go out wearing a certain thing that might not be in fashion at the minute or you want to go and do something a little bit controversial or something like that obviously you're not hurting anyone in the way you go and fucking do it so kind of like own it do what you want to do own your shit and that is where you find true self-confidence i actually agree with that i think i think you're right there but if you own it and you think this is what i want to do what you think doesn't matter and you're not hurting anyone that's a different thing then yeah yeah i get that now the next one i think is as a female one of the most valuable
Starting point is 00:26:29 things that i have ever learned so do you remember when you were younger and well this happened to me but you'd be in friendship groups and someone would be bullying you and your mum would turn around you go like it's just because they're jealous and you'd be like fuck off yeah but looking back she kind of is yeah so have your tribe surround yourself with people that you are secure with yes the moment you let someone in that is gonna you know talk negatively about another friendship or you know i don't like the way that she does her hair or i don't agree with this guy that she's been doing this with no we do not talk about other people we talk about things so have your tribe where you know if you have a moment where you have a little bit of a wobble
Starting point is 00:27:15 a weakness they're gonna be there for you and they're gonna be telling you the right things to do not the things that they want you to do okay because the advice from others is what makes you okay so that you mean someone that's like got your back and their advice is for your best interest impartial okay not because that's what they think they'd like to see how that unfolds because unfortunately some other people want to watch you fall yeah and i've made it a thing now where if a negative thought comes into my head about someone's done something that i don't personally agree with i just think that's their choice doesn't involve me keep it moving off we go okay exactly and you don't like let that you don't repeat that to anyone but i don't know she
Starting point is 00:28:00 did that and if someone you know you're starting to question a certain friendship or relationship whereby you're like does this person actually want me to succeed and do i feel a hundred percent comfortable around this person being myself then get rid your self-confidence will grow every single day you are around the right people they do say don't they that you become like the five people that you're around the most yeah i agree that i'm very lucky that i really feel that i've got a lot actually a hundred i've actually got a lot of friends and they are ride or die 100 yeah like people that clap when you win yes yes okay the next and last one that we have always evolve and accept criticism but only constructive criticism what do you think the difference is
Starting point is 00:28:51 between criticism and constructive so i would say that if a friend was like how would you differentiate if a friend was giving one or the other criticism would be something like don't wear that your ass looks big in it whereas constructive criticism would be like right let's go and find something else which might make your ass look smaller okay so it's finding a solution rather than just pointing out and being like oh that's not nice it's like that's okay but could we do better yeah and also like if you're stuck say in a relationship or in something to do with your career and someone just forces their opinion on you that's criticism so if they say like your job's shit yeah or like leave him he's shit yes then if someone went to you right okay
Starting point is 00:29:39 how do we sit down and write five good things five but you know like get into a conversation about it where they can find out which direction you're going in and guide you not force their opinions on you so that's probably quite a good way for people to find out you know like their tribe if people are criticizing not constructively then that might be somebody that you don't want in your bad bitch aura exactly now the last one i said that was the last one you are enough have you been reading some fucking stupid books yeah i read stupid books that came under like the self-improvement ah okay you are i'll list some of the books i honestly like think that if you are not accepted for who you are as in in yourself if you don't accept who you are and feel comfortable
Starting point is 00:30:27 with who you are in a crowd of people then you are never going to be enough whereas if you walk in you go hey there this is me take it or leave it yeah we obviously like i just think that you know for example people that force their opinions on people about things people that are bitchy or nasty it's their problem not yours so walk away from them do you know i feel like i'm having a therapy session because actually i don't know if i am um enough in my own head oh stop it you're gonna cry yeah um no but like when you're saying that like it's actually made me think about it because sometimes i compare myself to everyone which we'll talk about a little bit further and what i could be better at and who i should be like whereas what you're saying is you are who you
Starting point is 00:31:12 are that's enough and actually it's their problem if they're not as long as you're not again being nasty or malicious you just if you are being the most pure person you can yeah then if someone doesn't like that then find someone else then mate so for example i follow a lot of motivational accounts on instagram because look we all spend hours a day on social media so make it more of a feed of what you need yeah not what is being forced on you yeah i love seeing you know fitness models in bikinis but at the same time i want to be grounded by certain quotes and you know start to think about certain things and really what you need to do is get rid of anything off your social media or just mute it you don't need to like burn any bridges you just need to know that when you
Starting point is 00:32:00 look at your phone you feel comfortable because i feel like if you've just said then haven't you yeah that you're comparing who are you comparing yourself to unachievable people exactly yeah whereas literally it starts at home and that's why you should take some time out to maybe like do some yoga read some books as long as you've understood the concept of the book like these books are really thick and you'll look at them and think ashley how the fuck have you read that yeah i've not read it i've skimmed through it and once i've understood the concept of each book yeah then you can make it work 100 there we go after that speech we're gonna talk now let's get into the therapy session of what what's made you feel like this
Starting point is 00:32:46 okay i feel like i actually have less confidence now at 31 than i did at 21 which is ridiculous because that's not how it's meant to be i know it's not how it's meant to be everybody says that when you hit your 30s you get yeah your best years you're more confident you are who you are and i thought it would be like that but i don't know why but i actually feel like i've got less confidence now than back then and it's a few reasons number one i think the level of acceptance has risen massively so when i was 21 being a pretty girl was enough now being a perfect girl is still not enough mom as it looks as well so i'm quite bad with i would say i'm pretty happy with how i am as a mom and all the rest it's looks for me this is the the issue silly like
Starting point is 00:33:35 is there a certain thing that's like triggered this because you're absolutely beautiful oh thank you um i think it's a series of things i think the relationships i've been in um and the way they ended and i think the rejection of certain ones that could be it there was an incident with my last boyfriend i had probably six months of i would i would go as far as to say bullying from his ex i would yeah i would we got together his ex got wind of it they had a very turbulent relationship and that's nothing to do with me but i was dragged into it i tried to help as they had a child involved um and i was dragged into it and actually for six months my looks were scrutinized in what way babe so it started with like your new girlfriend's disgusting she's ugly everybody that
Starting point is 00:34:17 seen her has texted me and told me how ugly she is like could he not have said like i've been in situations like this before where if we can't have a conversation about as you said the child was involved so the relationship had to continue if you can't talk to me about just the child i need to block you and we need to have a mutual person who calls fire emergency we did all this and i was the mutual person because i tried to be the middleman and i got absolutely blasted so to the point where she would take go on like tagged pictures so obviously they're not your best pictures and she would take a picture and zoom in at certain parts so she zoomed in on my legs i don't love my legs anyway zoomed in on them and then she put it i don't know if you know you
Starting point is 00:34:58 can do like whatsapp statuses i've never done one and she put it on there for him to see with throwing up faces on my legs and she would send pictures of me like years ago when i didn't look great and she would post that she would whenever you're on the phone go back to your new ugly girlfriend she would call me thin disgusting that says more about her than you i know but when you're in it and it's relentless so listen this is how bad it actually got and i haven't actually told anyone this so when i went to get my boobs done last year in turkey in turkey she'd been in my head which we'll talk about the turkey thing actually my boobs there another time because that's a good thing to share with people i actually asked for a bbl while i was there
Starting point is 00:35:36 because she had told me she'd called me thin that many times scrawny disgusting no arse thin and all these words that it actually fully got into my head and i asked for a bbl because of this girl i'm not lying and luckily thank god the doctor said like you've got no fat you skinny bitch so i couldn't have it done um i then became like obsessive with the gym do you remember when i was like i was literally throwing chicken down my neck training every day i looked like jodie marsh nothing against that but not my body frame i'm petite i was like stocky because i thought that that is what i needed to look like because i'd been conditioned to think that for six months right now but now i'm slim again and i actually really like being petite and i always
Starting point is 00:36:19 have done so why did that person change my vision of my body listen to me if you have got someone around you as an immediately friend that takes a piss out of what you wear like you know that passive aggressive diggy shit get rid of that person because it's their problem not fucking yours so for example daily mail i've stopped reading it as much because they do the passive aggressive yes curvy they will take pictures of poor young girls and i've got friends that they've done it to as well and i've seen my friends crying their eyes out and these girls if you looked at them i would say nine out of ten people would say they want to look like gorgeous stunning girls and they're really healthy and everything but don't get me wrong you put a wide lens camera
Starting point is 00:37:06 on someone they're gonna catch the harsh sunlight of cellulite city which is all the daily mail is fucking awful for this so we need to all bear in mind that this is not fair that women are taking pictures of in their bikini and scrutinized for how they look in a passive-aggressive way where it's like flaunts her ripped voluptuous curves and all that no you're just being what did he say her newly newly voluptuous or newly curvy i think you've gained weight it's not on that's not kind need that energy we need to be kinder and after that experience it taught me i'm not nasty listen when your ex-boyfriend gets a new girlfriend well you're gonna say to your mate her hair's fucking shit yeah clothes are well tacky you see a tan and that is like i wish we didn't but we do
Starting point is 00:37:55 to your best mate okay however on another level of bullying and harassment you wouldn't say it to them no i would say it to my friend but i wouldn't say it to them and this particular girl has done it to other every girl he gets that's she does it too and it's about much big nose this that the other so actually the problem lies within and if you are one of those girls that is doing this i actually i'm not being nasty towards you i'm saying babe you're feeling low in yourself there's something wrong yeah well again i've been asked to go on um some tv shows yeah and talk about what work i think celebrities need doing wow and i fully declined that because i don't think anyone needs doing and imagine if i was that person you know a big picture of me and some bitch was telling
Starting point is 00:38:40 like everyone what they thought i needed it's it's just not on no um and you find comfort from within i mean have you ever like slagged anyone off as in how they look to the face or no but what i will say is because i think one of the most this is kind of digressing a little bit something really important is knowing yourself understanding yourself so if you are nasty about somebody you know why so yes there's been times not recently because i feel like i'm mentally i've matured a lot where i've been like she's this she's that and then actually why do i think that and then if i look back and really dig deep i was jealous yeah she was doing something that i wanted to do or she looked away i wanted to look or she gave me something that made me feel insecure yeah
Starting point is 00:39:26 so what i did then is try and pull her down i'm talking years back yeah i think now i would have done the same i know myself too well now and if i get that feeling i think lauren work on yourself but also everyone needs to know that people change and give everyone a second chance yeah because in the last 10 years since when we first knew each other how much have we matured grown exactly so you know that woman maybe one day in the future you'll get a message off her saying i'm really sorry i have actually had that i've had a few people come out from like places that i've worked or like that i went to school and they've sent me a message and they've said i'm really sorry about this thing i'm gonna own it honestly i've said like how fucking big of you to do that it's amazing
Starting point is 00:40:12 and i just think we we should have more of that maybe yeah you can admit when you've done something a little bit wrong and you've especially if you've knocked someone's confidence yeah i think that needs an apology okay so this comes back to that fucking website now if you're on that website you've got a problem so sweetheart instead of typing away on your keyboard read one of my books or like go and do your eyebrows in the mirror yeah work out go on a walk yeah what makes you feel that you want to go out of your way i think as well like with money when you get people on that how does she afford that i'm gonna go on nine times out of ten it's because they wish they could afford that but also instead of figuring out how i afford it go and earn it yeah exactly
Starting point is 00:40:59 earn your own money hon and buy yourself anyway anyway anyway lauren we don't give a fuck what those people say we don't look we don't care but i will tell you i had a troll and it was on my instagram you just comment on all my pictures and i'm not that into blocking or like filtering comments i leave like yeah they're quite funny we like them yeah exactly i mean i'll never passively aggressively respond anymore like i used to and be like it's your time yeah go and earn it then i don't bother i just let them carry on you know poke the bear wait one day she will bite back um but yeah this trick that um i posted about we love an insta trick we love a little trick so did you know if you keep getting trolled or if someone trolls you what to do no you put their
Starting point is 00:41:51 username into instagram and you press forgot password and then stupid fucking instagram comes back with we have sent a verification code to and then an email address and they star out about five but you can get a gist so if it's someone's full name for example you can probably work out if it's someone you know another thing if you put someone's email into tattle life and press forgot password and it shut up yeah stop why didn't you tell me this before we've just told them all i'm not bothered anyway you're not asked anymore not at all i've not got time for that let's go and earn some more money to spend a louis vuitton outfit an ass filler okay one thing that can shake your self-confidence i think is being publicly cheated on would you agree yes i
Starting point is 00:42:39 think anything like that that is public and makes you feel rejected and done over yeah and people are laughing at you and poking fun at you yeah that's a big one so i well actually that goes back to our story about that celebrity that got caught well not caught the girls took the pictures yeah the footballer yeah yeah that that's humiliating for that person and for his family as well exactly and there's a lot of this stuff on instagram where like people like out people yeah it's not very nice i think that's more embarrassing than them doing it oh the instagram account that that lad made yes yes we've not talked about we've not talked about this so it was a bit ago now but you may have seen it may not have done i'm not even gonna say his name
Starting point is 00:43:20 Number one, I can't remember it. Basically, he found out his girlfriend was cheating. Okay, very sad. I'm sorry. It's happened to me loads. Never mind. And he did, I can't even speak right. He did a full highlight reel about catching her
Starting point is 00:43:33 and about how he's the bigger person. He then did a highlight reel on it so that it was to be Insta-famous, like you cringy, cringy guy. No, it's not okay. It's more embarrassing than the girl doing it. We've got that friend. Which friend?
Starting point is 00:43:48 Wow. Okay. so this happened in lockdown so everyone was like put the popcorn out baby yeah and he found out that she had i don't know if she had or she hadn't i'm not saying anything but that she had a new partner and she'd moved to another country was she with him yeah and he screenshot all of her messages like saying good night baby then screenshot like uh loads of other stuff put like you filthy cheating whore tagged her and like we've all got like mutual friends um it was it was really bad i mean you know do what you need to heal just don't do it publicly i mean once i
Starting point is 00:44:30 had this um boyfriend oh yeah you know what i'm gonna say you know what you're gonna say um it's the one that i talked about um when i used to work away when i was working on big brother and one weekend he invited some ladies around we call them ladies of the night and because our house had been broken into we had these cameras which i told you about before these effing cameras and um he got some of his watches stolen yes i can remember so they went back on the cameras and they caught these two girls it ended up in the newspaper they ended up taking the girls to and everything and you're sat there that was like that that was so awful like i remember my nan being like ashley yeah how embarrassing because his name was everywhere and the fact
Starting point is 00:45:20 that girls had been round then stolen the watches yeah and obviously you wouldn't it was clear that you didn't know no it was how did you come back from that well this is what i mean i think that i'm in my 20s and even in my teens i went through such a small period of these shocking incidents whereby there was no other option apart from just to keep it moving so i honestly think just get back on the horse and carry on i think you can go one way or the other i think from we are as i always say so similar but so different which is why it's always good to talk to you guys you have let these incidents make you stronger yeah i i mean i'm getting there but i feel like these things have like damaged me if that makes sense whereas you've kind of taken and they've knocked my confidence
Starting point is 00:46:06 over the years whereas you have kind of turned it around so that actually they make you stronger and more positive a hundred percent that's the only option you've got to have that mindset of if it doesn't kill you it's going to make you stronger and as long as you act like dignified the whole time i mean you know we've all had the odd blip here there and everywhere where you end up throwing a pan at someone's head or something uh but like you know we move now self-confidence after having a baby oh this is a big one we've both been there we've both had a baby i think tips i thought you're gonna say tits then i was gonna say yeah they went south i think everything did this is another thing when i turned 30 i swear everything began to sag i'm not just
Starting point is 00:46:50 saying it when i got to 30 i noticed my whole everything changed i swear it's no we're giving people hope okay so i feel better at 30 okay okay well sorry it's just me then and yeah i think when you have a child your body is affected hugely now i'm gonna say now i've been lucky it's been affected don't get me wrong but there are women that are affected worse and the body changes more but i think it's each to their own and you know your own body and any any change in your body it can be upsetting it starts with like the tummy okay so the loose skin people have stretch marks often and some can have a lot of stretch marks a lot of loose skin um the vagina yeah so if you gave birth vaginally even if you didn't because even if you had a c-section the pressure yeah and
Starting point is 00:47:34 the pressure of the baby in your tummy can change a vagina it's so fucking hard being a woman and also like i feel like there's a lot of brands throwing all these products at you as soon as you've had a baby like hair burst i'm not gonna you know i'm gonna shout you out hair burst you throw it at new mums for losing any influencer that promotes hair boost i just want to let you know you can buy biotin tablets 60 off them off amazon for a tenner right you get 30 hair bursts for 30 quid it's the same fucking thing it's marketed and it's it's going we all know postpartum hair loss the stretch mark oh my right a tummy tuck the tummy tuck no no it's i need to know the name of them actually to find them and call them out because they need calling out i looked at it
Starting point is 00:48:20 it's american um and they are there's a it's got fake reviews on it as well there's an ad and the woman is like i thought after my baby a tummy tuck was the only option this cream no if you've lost weight and your skin is hanging and you've lost the elasticity in your skin i stretch marks you can go to the gym let me tell you every day you can do a thousand sit-ups every five minutes once that skin has stretched and this is you know this is good advice for you from a surgical perspective the only way is to have a tummy same with your tits same with your tits if your tits sag there is no way of repairing that loose skin and this is the thing fooled guys we get loads of husbands that come in from the consultation and they turn around to their wife and they go she
Starting point is 00:49:02 just needs to go to the gym and i'm like hello the gym is not gonna fix like all this skin and neither is a cream so do not spend your money on that shit the one thing i must say you should spend your money on and have there for straight after you've had the baby is a compression garment i had a compression you have to wear compression so think about it like this your stomach's expanded and then it's contracted you need to support the hell out of that shit so i will um link on here a couple of options of the compression garments i wore compression and a hell of a lot of it for a good eight weeks afterwards and it really really helped another thing that you need to remember is don't get straight into training until you've had like all of your checkups
Starting point is 00:49:48 um self-confidence after a baby just accept it unfollow all those fucking accounts on instagram of everyone in a bikini mute people that you don't want to see living normal life while you're in the whirlwind of having a newborn and your tits around your ankles your body is not your own slipping on your own exactly i think the good thing nowadays that's coming out a lot is influencers are showing their real postpartum i love however i've got something interesting to say on this right so when you when somebody an influencer or a celebrity whatever shows us their postpartum six-week body and it doesn't look quotation marks that good people are like yeah go on girl go on girl when somebody does and they do look good everyone's like you shouldn't be putting that
Starting point is 00:50:33 and i don't like that like that emily ratatouille yeah and they're like you shouldn't be putting this if you're so why can we put it if you don't look great but you can't put it if actually you look pretty decent i don't like that and i think that's like a double standard thing i mean i look like humpty dumpty i didn't look great but if you if you are lucky enough that you do look good after six weeks show it if you want let's not be like it's okay because you look fat oh no it's not okay because you don't honey that really pisses me off i agree actually so we've got something exciting lauren over to you go on um we've been working on an idea of doing a brunch the reason we've been thinking about that is first of all we want to meet loads of
