Besties and Support: A raw, honest chat about how close friendships can carry you through the darkest moments.

In one of their most personal episodes yet, Rach shares the experience of grief after losing her dad and what it was like to go into England camp just days later. She reflects on the complex, delayed nature of grief, the unexpected emotional waves, and how football became both a distraction and a lifeline.

The two also talk candidly about checking in on your friends, finding strength in little signs from loved ones, and the quiet ways we support each other even when we can’t find the words. This episode is a tribute to resilience, rest, and real friendship. If you’ve been through something similar, know that you’re not alone.

    Would You Rather…
    May 22 2025
    Would Millie rather win the World Cup with England or the Champions League with Chelsea? Would Rach rather spend the day being her mum or her pet dog Lexi? And crucially, given a choice for life, would the girls only eat potatoes or rice? Our pair also delve into what gives them the “ick” - both on and off the pitch - and they reminisce about how they staved off boredom during the Covid-hit Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
