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).

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.

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).

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?
