The Rosie and Roula Show
Welcome to the Rosie and Roula show! We have very different lifestyles and family dynamics. Rosie loves dogs. She lives the van life alone, and most days she can't be bothered to brush her hair or even look in the mirror. Roula love cats, she has three kids and a husband and doesn't dare leave the house without wearing her red lipstick.
On the surface, we're like chalk and cheese. And sometimes, our beliefs are so different that we don't see eye to eye at all. Yet we find so much knowledge and fun in the conversations we have about our lives.
We talk about insignificant matters that have a daily impact on the way we interact at work, in our family lives, friendships, and with ourselves.
Our episodes are short, sharp, and to the point. There's no chit chat or sweet talking around here. We talk about everything from our illogical pet peeves and philosophical musings to the things in society that make us go, what the fuck?
We ask the big questions. For example, should a person with a penis put down the toilet seat for a person with a vagina, or the other way around? And does it disgust you when someone licks their fingers whilst eating and then passes you the salt? Or when they burp, without saying excuse me?! And what was the one thing you heard today that put a smile on your face, and why?
Join us each week during your lunch break, a trip to the shops, or even whilst you're sitting on the toilet, for a quick dose of banter with your spicy hosts, Rosie and Roula.

140: Does Travel Make You More “Achieved”? | The Status of Traveling
In this episode, Roula and Rosie unpack a thought-provoking question: Are well-traveled people more “achieved” than others? 🌍✈️
They explore:
- Whether travel contributes to personal growth or just social status.
- Different kinds of travel (luxury, backpacking, family vacations, cultural exploration).
- The privilege and accessibility of travel.
- How meaningful experiences can also happen at home.
- Why travel stories matter — and why status doesn’t define a person.
Roula shares her perspective as someone who once longed to travel but later developed fears of going too far from home, while Rosie reflects on travel as an investment in herself but also questions the privilege behind that mindset. Together, they land on an important takeaway: Travel is beautiful, but it doesn’t define your worth.
👉 Tune in for a candid, heartfelt discussion about travel, culture, privilege, and what really makes a life “achieved.”
