In this episode of She Gets It From Me, it’s Ellie and Layla in full chaos mode – tech issues, eye rolls, and all – before diving headfirst into Virgin Island, the latest TV show that’s got them both cringing. They pull apart how the show handles virginity, intimacy, and all the bonkers societal pressures around sex – and why media still gets it so bloody wrong. Expect rants. Big ones.

Then (because obviously one deep convo isn’t enough for them), they switch gears and get into the feels about moving back home after tasting freedom. Ellie gets brutally honest about the weird guilt, the ‘what am I doing with my life?’ vibes, and how family dynamics suddenly feel like you’ve rewound ten years. It’s messy, it’s normal, and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed at life – promise.

Two convos. Same energy. Zero filter.

💡 Episode Takeaways

• ​Imperfect action is always better than sitting in overthinking.
• ​Life feels like a never-ending blooper reel when everything goes wrong (it’s normal).
• ​Reality TV (looking at you, Virgin Island) loves to glam up intimacy... but real-life sex? Often awkward AF.
• ​Virginity and self-esteem are deeply tangled – and no one talks about how much.
• ​Moving back home can trigger all your inner 'I'm failing at life' vibes – but it’s way more common than you think.
• ​Setting boundaries with family when you move back? Non-negotiable.
• ​It’s okay to feel uncomfortable, lost, or like you’ve regressed – you haven’t.
• ​A bit of humour (and eye-rolling) makes navigating family chaos easier.
