A brand new podcast hosted by writers and best friends, Maggie Kelly & Tully Smyth.
"We've done the therapy, so you don't have to."
Modern women are done with hiding. Divorce, infertility, fledgling careers, single parenthood - the so-called taboos of female ‘failure’ are quickly becoming our favourite topics. Why? Because we’ve all been there.
Under the glossy exterior of success, we’re all just trying to dodge the demands: be sexy, be smart, be brave, be a wife, be a mother, be a feminist, be fit, be fun… but don’t talk about it. We’re burning down the facade and telling it like it is.
Self Help(ed) is where those stories live - unfiltered, hilarious, vulnerable and real. Each episode dives into the messiness of modern womanhood with honesty, humour and hindsight. It’s second-hand therapy, the space we wish we had during our hardest chapters… and now, it’s yours too.
This is, Self Help(ed).

Call it age, call it stress, call it toddlers… but it feels like no one is sleeping anymore. This week, Maggie brings one of her most tired topics to the table: sleep. From random bouts of insomnia to 3.30am cats demanding breakfast, the dream of a solid eight hours feels like exactly that- a dream.
Tully and Maggie unpack the ever-popular concept of “sleep hygiene” and confess their own questionable bedtime habits. They explore what sleeplessness is doing to our energy, moods, relationships, and mental health long-term. Spoiler: the effects aren’t pretty.
Then, in classic Self Help(ed) fashion, the girls veer into the idea of “Frog Day”- a quirky tool for tackling your most dreaded tasks before they snowball into stress monsters. And of course, they close out with a spirited round of Walk Of Shame, because no episode is complete without a little ribbing.
So if you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2am replaying tomorrow’s to-do list- or if your pet thinks breakfast is a pre-dawn activity -- you’ll enjoy this one.
