Your wish is our command... it's Mum time! We already brought Kaz into the studio and now, Chloe's Mum, Alyson takes the hot seat to dish the dirt on the girls. Alyson Chapman is a character who loves a good yarn. A salt of the earth type who would open her door and go out of her way to make you feel welcome. And as you'll hear in this episode, she's the kind of mother that does the late night teenage party pick up runs, risks excess baggage to deliver her son a pair of shoes, and loves nothing more than helping out her friends and family (whether that's cleaning your house and taking care of your kids or making sure you've got a drinking buddy). Get ready for some lols... and to feel like you're sitting in the lounge room, at the Chapman's.

Running a business with your bestie is no joke. Doing it with the crazy busy schedule Chloe and Ellidy have, while navigating grief, and raising a small human, in opposite time zones can make it even more tricky. It takes solid healthy boundaries, patience and understanding, and good open and honest communication… and while Chloe and Ellidy are great at the communication, there’s some other areas of their relationship (personal and business wise) that could use a little helping hand… which is why they’ve enlisted Dr Trav’s help for their first official ‘friendship therapy’ session.
