On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter unpack the chaos of Abbey’s long awaited 40th birthday — and it’s safe to say Peter surpassed all of our expectations.
In classic Therapy Crouch style, there was a couple of bumps a long the way - think Simply Red, Spoilt surprises and gift giving headaches - yet Crouchy still scores a 10/10 for this one!
In the Agony Abs, we hear from a listener who is in desperate need of advice on how to avoid ‘Cringe-fest’ boys with a penchant for T-shirt designs as well as from a listener whose ‘parasite’ housemate is threatening to ruin their ‘new year, new me’ mojo.
It’s funny, unfiltered, weirdly touching — and proof that even the most chaotic surprises can go right (kind of).
