You Keep Me Sane is more than a podcast. It’s a lifeline, a conversation, and a space where people feel heard, understood, and less alone.

We’re Aileen and Julie, two close friends who have supported each other across continents for years—Aileen in London, Julie in Melbourne. Through thousands of voice notes, we’ve shared life’s highs and lows, navigating motherhood, careers, and personal struggles. These conversations led us to create and co-host the You Keep Me Sane podcast, which launched in November 2024.

At the heart of our podcast is connection, growth, and vulnerability. We explore the unspoken struggles so many of us carry, from self-worth and anxiety to single parenting, career transitions, and everything in between. We talk about the challenges of shifting from high-powered careers to motherhood and the complexities of returning to the workplace. But more importantly, we explore what it takes to reclaim our sense of identity, joy, and worth.

This isn’t about having the answers—it’s about making space for real conversations, honest reflections, and shared experiences. We lend an ear, offer unqualified advice, and bring our vast life experience to the table. We believe in the power of opening up, challenging the narratives that hold us back, and finding strength through vulnerability. Through our stories, and the voices of those who join us, we remind our listeners: you are not alone in this.

If you’re looking for a podcast that speaks to the heart of what it means to be human, one that offers perspective, solidarity, and maybe even a little sanity—You Keep Me Sane is for you.

Join us each week for deep, meaningful conversations that bring us all a little closer together, no matter where we are in the world.
