Hey Yumi! Is sleeping apart the key to staying together?

There's an expectation that couples share a bed, but what if sleep isn't compatible with being in the same room as your other half? Maybe they snore, maybe they starfish, or maybe you just need a few hours without another human touching you.

Is a sleep divorce, AKA, having separate bedrooms, the answer?

There's a trend towards normalising sleeping separately from your partner. Cameron Diaz is doing it. So are the Beckhams. But does this arrangement spell the end of sex and intimacy? Or does it make for a better night's sleep and a better waking relationship?

Ladies, We Need to Talk goes deep on the women's health and relationship issues that are setting your group chat on fire.

Come hang with the fabulous Yumi Stynes as she takes a candid, non-judgmental and often hilarious look at the deeply personal stuff that's hard to bring up, even with your closest mates.

You'll meet incredible experts to help you improve your wellness, manage the mental load; survive break-ups and prioritise your mental health.

With sensitivity, personal stories from real women, and serious smarts, this show is for women who feel the squeeze between work, their private life, and their pelvic floor.
