The rollercoaster of life… Marriage, motherhood, melodramatic reality TV - it can often lend to the phrase “I just can’t”. It sums up the exact moment when you feel like laughing, crying, swearing, smiling - all at once. Introducing ‘I Just Can’t’, the podcast series hosted by last year’s besties from The Block, Sarah-Jane and Rachel.
These two quickly became household favourites in the 18th season of The Block: Tree Change. When life on the worksite became a little too much, these two hopped in the car and spent hours on the road venting and debriefing - it was a form of therapy. Now, having returned to reality, they’ve replaced the steering wheel with a mic as they catch up and unpack the ups and downs.
Raw yet ruthless, vulnerable and sometimes a little vulgar, nothing is too ‘taboo’ for these two. With their quick wit and trademark humour, they'll have you switching between heartfelt tears to laughter-induced bellyaches in the blink of an eye.
These two women are more than just Tinder-swiping, avocado toast-eating Gen Z’ers… they’ve truly lived a life and they’re here to tell you about it, with all the nitty-gritty (often unrequested) details.
