with Lauren and Shanequa: Ten word tales!

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris are challenging you to tell a story in just ten words.

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris are challenging you to tell a whole story in just ten words.

Can you make us laugh? Break our hearts? Create a plot twist? From romance to horror, chaos to comedy - we want your best Ten Word Tales. Maybe it’s just a ten word tale to explain your life right now!

We are joined by quarter-life coach Chloe Garland to help us break down what a 'quarter-life audit' actually looks like - and how to reset without spiralling. Are we actually where we thought we’d be by now? Career. Money. Love life. Living situation. The group chat. Did you imagine something different?

We’re talking comparison culture, timeline pressure, and that creeping feeling that everyone else got the memo except you. Is comparison really the thief of joy - or is it sometimes a useful reality check?

Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 1.
