Episodes
We're exploring the slippery nature of memory — how it shapes our identities, influences our beliefs, and sometimes leads us astray. Prompted by recent controversy over the memoir The Salt Path, we unpack the fine line between truth, embellishment, and outright fabrication in personal storytelling.
Fresh from the Logies red carpet, Amanda shares what it’s really like to survive a late-night TV awards show on two glasses of wine and four hours’ sleep. Then, she and Anita turn their attention to book clubs — why we love them, why they sometimes implode, and the delicate balance between friendship, leadership, and actually finishing the book. From Oprah’s “reading revolution” to passive-aggres...
This week, Anita got us talking about WitchTok—yes, witchcraft on TikTok—and the wild world of buying spells on Etsy. From Malleus Maleficarum (did we say that right?) to the Saleem witch trials, we explore how witchcraft has shifted through history and what it says about female empowerment today.
The Doub...
We’re talking about concept creep: how words like “trauma,” “anxiety,” and “bullying” have taken on new meanings way beyond their original clinical roots. We get into self-diagnosed ADHD, workplace “bullying,” parenting trends, and whether labels help, hinder, or just let us off the hook.

Amanda came across a reel that challenges everything we thought we knew about only children. From modern parenting trends to baby-led weaning and the ever-changing rules around sleep training, we reflect on how much parenting advice shifts between generations — and how often we just try our best and hope for the best.
Anita shares the story of why she’s hated Vegemite for years, and Amanda, determined to give Vegemite a fair go, puts her to the test with a proper Aussie-style tasting: warm sourdough, butter, and a thin smear. From there, we talk about the surprising PR campaign that launched kale into superfood status, the long-standing spinach myth caused by a decimal point error, and how margarine, eggs,...
In this episode, we're looking at some of the weird and wildly misguided ideas from the history of childbirth and parenting, like a spinning birthing bed inspired by elephants (yes, really) and baby cages that hung out of apartment windows in 1930s New York... These days we have apps, alarms, and a whole lot of anxiety. Are we really any better off?

During a recent weekend away with friends, we found ourselves deep in conversation about the power of cringe—that awkward, vulnerable feeling that comes with trying something new and not being good at it (yet). After sharing some thoughtful listener feedback, we pick up that thread and follow it through a winding, reflective chat that begins with personal growth and ends in a surprisingly philosophical exploration of remorse,...
Have you ever seen a man organise a cake for someone’s birthday in the office? Anita’s come across research about “non-promotable work” – those tasks that won’t get you anywhere in your career but which, surprise surprise, always seem to fall into the women’s hands. How can we get better at setting boundaries?

Anyone who’s heard Amanda talk about her love for Barry Manilow has probably also heard her mention her childhood best friend, Melanie. Earlier this year, Melanie’s world was turned upside down when her daughter, Jess, was suddenly diagnosed with renal failure. Jess is now on the waiting list for a kidney transplant — and Melanie is her donor. In this episode, we’re honoured to have both Jess and Melanie joi...
Strap yourselves in, because we’re going deep into the world of AI Therapy bots. Anita, drawing on her professional experience in psychology, highlights the irreplaceable nuances of human connection and professional boundaries in therapy, and answers the question, can a bot be as good as a real therapist?
The Double A ...
We're exploring the tangled web of modern work culture — from padded resumes to keystroke monitoring. In today’s high-surveillance, high-stakes job market, is it okay to lie a little to get ahead? And if you're doing the job well, does it matter how you got in the door?

It’s Mother’s Day this weekend, so we’re celebrating by bringing in Amanda's sons, Jack and Liam, for a special episode where they spill the tea about what it was really like growing up with a mum in the spotlight. Expect affection, awkwardness, and a whole lot of oversharing.

This week, we unpack the rise of panic rooms, secret bunkers, and even flammable moats (yes, that’s a thing), and what this rise says about the fear and uncertainty so many of us are feeling. Luckily, we have a psychologist in the house to give us some practical tips to deal with it all!
Cousins play a unique role in our lives, so we were worried to hear about "The Great Cousin Decline"... We explore how shifting family dynamics are changing our connections, and ask: Why does cousin marriage feel icky? Is that instinct or culture? And why don’t we have a better word for a cousin who’s also your closest confidante?

This week, we’re unravelling the beauty of low-pressure leisure — whether it’s knitting in a cinema, baking from gravestones, or doing absolutely nothing at all (yes, that’s a thing now).

This week, we dive into the world of Mel Robbins — the powerhouse podcaster who vies with Joe Rogan to be the most listened-to voice in the world. We talk about who she is, why she’s resonating, and what we took from her bestselling book.

Anita had a birthday, which got us thinking: what does it really mean to get older? What kind of old ladies do we want to be? And for that matter, when do we start being “old”?
In this episode, we reflect on how aging shapes our personalities, productivity, and how we’re perceived. Why do we wait till we’re older be bold, free, and unapologetically ourselves?
