Ben & Nichole

#92 The Manosphere Hey Reader Have you watched Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere documentary yet? If you haven’t, put it on your list. And if you have, I imagine you’re feeling something similar to what Ben and I felt watching it: a mixture of shock, fury, heartbreak and a genuine knot in your stomach. But what struck me most wasn’t the men on the screen. It wasn’t the rage bait or the crypto schemes or the one-way monogamy. It was the realisation that every single one of those men was a...

Hi Reader How are you holding up in this chilly January? We’re back to work this week, and if we’re honest, it’s been a bit of a slog. If you’re feeling the same, here’s a little reminder: despite all the “new year, new you” energy, we’re still in the darkest, coldest part of winter. Nature is hibernating until the Spring Equinox in March, and it’s okay if you feel like hibernating too. Be gentle with yourself and ease into 2025 if that’s what you need. Speaking of January—it’s often called...

Hi Reader Happy New Year! Can you believe we’ve made it to 2025? Whether you’re ready to take the year by the horns or feel like easing into it gently, we want you to know—it’s all okay.

Hi Reader With less than a week to go until Christmas, the excitement is building—but so is the chaos! It’s been a full-on week in the Farrow household, with the kids’ Christmas activities in full swing. Most of which has involved Nichole dressed as an elf (which she loves!) Our kids are at the age where Christmas really is magical, but let’s be honest, it’s not all mulled wine and mince pies for us parents, is it? Between trying to meet the kids’ gift expectations, juggling family...

HiReader I hope you’re having a good week. Can you feel it? The festive frenzy is in full swing! 🎅 Between buying presents, juggling school activities, and navigating the complexities of blended families or divorced parents, it can feel like there’s no room to breathe. Resentments can set in when one of you is picking up more of the Christmas admin—a load that, without gender stereotyping, often falls to women, who already do an average of 10 hours more unpaid labor per week than their male...
