This week on Untidy, there are still plenty of laughs, but this one's a rollercoaster, and we've got some big topics to cover.

Bean shares the heartbreaking loss of her beloved dog Duchess, who stood beside her through some of life’s hardest seasons, and reflects on the grief and gratitude that come with saying goodbye to a member of the family.

Matty has a wholesome family holiday to the Gold Coast, complete with some literal rollercoaster revelations. Then, all of us at Untidy have some big news to share.

After five years of living and breathing Untidy, more than 200 episodes, countless laughs, tears, overshares, awards, live events, weird tangents, and one incredible community, it's time to bring Untidy to a close.

There's no drama. No scandal. No secret feud. No tea at all (sorry to disappoint). Just Matty and Bean recognising that this beautiful thing has reached its natural conclusion.

In this episode, we reflect on what Untidy has meant to us and the whānau that has formed around it.

We're not quite finished yet. This isn't the final word. We want that to come from all of you, to be part of the final recordings. Send us your voice notes, favourite moments, memories, or messages so we can celebrate this perfectly untidy journey together.

Thank you for being here.

Aroha nui,
Bean and Matty xxx
