36 Only children, the year of the wooden dragon & your Chinese zodiac

This week it is just your girls Chloe & Steph. We talk about a lot of different topics, zigging and zagging, through holidays, all day photoshoots and then move to two larger discussions around only children and the Chinese Zodiac for the year ahead.

• Steph and Chloe have a raw conversation about some of the stereotypes around only children: Chloe shares her experiences as an only child, Steph’s explores her thoughts on Fred as her only (living) child and the fear present with both having or not having another child. 
• With the Lunar New Year this weekend (Sat 10 Feb), Steph talks through the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac and what is in store for us all in the year of the Wooden Dragon.
