Flawed & Fabulous

Flawed & Fabulous is a conversation show about grief, trauma and loss that keeps its sense of humour. Ashe introduces each guest with a salty version of the show's flawed-but-fabulous motto, then sits down with people who inspire her. She has her own shorthand for what her guests have in common, GTL, and says she made the show to reduce the stigma around a subject many people find confronting. The guests are introduced as everyday people, and the talk sounds like it. Sophie Bell, whose family Ashe says she has loved watching over the years, describes butterflies turning up at key moments, once in the middle of a construction zone while a house was going up. She says she was not that spiritual before, and that the sign helps Josh's family too. The same conversation moves on to an engagement after eight months together and a trip to Europe for her 25th birthday. That is how the show tends to work, with sorrow and celebration side by side. Jessica Feeney talks about the Luna Capri Foundation, which she says is focused on education for now, with family support planned. She credits a big community for backing her every day. Then a question about the names of her children, Luna and Mars, brings a lighter moment. Other conversations stay lighter throughout. Brooke Evers, introduced as literally the girl next door, gets a pun of a title that Ashe is openly proud of. The talk then wanders into the Kardashians saving news for their TV show. Kimberley Welman, the Stay Strong Mummy, talks health with a host who calls herself one of those yo-yo people and says she wants the result, not the journey. Ashe admits she has been eyeing a 30-day detox for months but has an event coming up where she can't skip drinking. Kids and a busy family life come up as part of why sticking with anything is hard. Courtney, introduced as the producer, is a regular second voice in the back-and-forth. Angel cards bring in a semi-spiritual turn, a moment where intuition and coincidence get some room. Ashe's questions are direct but kind, closer to invitations than interrogations, and guests usually finish by telling people where to find them, mostly on Instagram.
