• Ep 142: Strategy Isn't What You Think It Is

  Nat and Kristen tackle strategic thinking - the skill everyone claims they want until they actually have to do it. They break down why we confuse 'having ideas' with solving problems, how asking 'why' five times can save you from building yet another doomed app, and why that shiny new website you're pitching definitely won't solve anything. Plus: why strategic thinkers are problem solvers not ideas people, whether we're all just chasing dopamine hits at work, and why some would rather tick boxes than deal with actual ambiguity.Loved it?

• Ep 141: The Amygdala Hijack: Why We Rage

  Ever sent an email you immediately regretted or lost it with your kid over a few tiny things? Nat and Kristen dig into the science of why we go from zero to rage in six seconds flat. Turns out, it's your amygdala doing its overprotective thing. They share their own flying-off-the-handle moments (stabbed forks, hormonal brain file hunting, family boundary disasters), explain why your brain can't tell the difference between actual danger and someone sending you an ‘as per my previous email’ email, and give you the pause-and-breathe tactics that actually work when you're mid-hijack.Loved it?

• Ep 140: When Friendships Fade (and why that's fine)

  Nat and Kristen give you permission to deliberately fade on friendships that no longer serve you. They break down the reason/season/lifetime framework - from work besties you've moved on from to uni friends who still expect wedding invites years later. Plus: how tricky is it to navigate the mums vs non-mums divide without offending anyone?? Why 'we should catch up!' doesn't mean you actually have to, and whether friendship breakups are worth the drama. Loved it? Share it and leave us a 5-star review! Got a topic for us?

• Ep 139: Why Your Team Acts Like They're From Different Planets

  Nat and Kristen unpack why five generations working together create such different approaches to everything - from handling restructures to work-life balance. Boomers climbed tenure ladders when single-income households worked, Gen X raised themselves, millennials were helicoptered, and Gen Z entered during economic chaos. Turns out everyone's being logical, just from wildly different starting points. So - what actually helps when your team feels like it's speaking different languages?Loved it?

• Ep 138: The Martyr Complex: Why You're Raging While Saying Yes

  Nat and Kristen dig into workplace martyrdom - that toxic cycle where you're simultaneously convinced you're irreplaceable AND furious about doing everything. They break down the origins (erm, sorry millennials, you're apparently the worst culprits!), from childhood safety mechanisms to the scarcity trap that keeps you hoarding information. Plus, the 'pink and blue jobs' problem, and how helicopter parenting accidentally created Gen Z's boundary obsession. If you've ever kept score while pretending you're fine, this one's for you.
