    2023: The Shit and The Shine

    As we slide into the 'silly season', it's often a good time to take a moment to rewind and reflect on the year that was. And this was a big one for Chlo and El!

    From joining the LiSTNR fam, with Chloe starting the year pregnant (only to suffer another devastating loss), through to Noonie family holidays in Bali, LA and the European Summer, to ending the year on an absolute high while together on the GC... this year has been some shit, and a lot of shine... and we are going to recap it all.

    If you've got a little cash you can spare, and would like to end the year helping someone less fortunate, head to lifecharityfocus.com and give a heartfelt gift to change the lives of families living in poverty in Uganda.

    The Strength of Sisterhood

    The Strength of Sisterhood

    Warning: listening may induce the following side effects... LOLs, goosebumps, tears and warm fuzzies.

    This episode is the epitome of what Darling, Shine is all about: SISTERHOOD!

    Chloe and Ellidy talk about their own sisterhood... what it means to them, how they show up for the friends (and vice versa) and how important it is to have other women around you. We also have some unexpected but very welcomed friends drop in to share their thoughs on sisterhood. And then they invited you to share your own experiences and definitions of sisterhood... and let's just say you blew us away.

    And, let's also say, there'll be more sisterhood in all of our futures.
