Quiet quitting is back - and it makes no sense. Jobs are at an all time low, unemployment all time high, and yet work disengagement is off the charts? Nat and Kristen dig into why people are checking out when you'd most expect them to cling on. They cover what’s going on (poor management, burnout and broken promises), and why Gen Z are more likely to quiet quit than boomers.
Plus the difference between disengaged and actively disengaged and whether this is all about boundaries and why it’s all pretty bad for our mental health. Also - eclipse tourism, and how wedding-spend correlates to divorce rates.

There's a difference between feedback and criticism, and often what we get is the latter dressed up as the former. So we pull the two apart: feedback is clear, actionable and comes from someone who wants you to win, while criticism can be someone venting and making it your problem. We also dig into why women often get judged on personality rather than work (abrasive, strident, 'too intense'), and why 'you're not ready' is the most useless thing you can be told after missing out on a role.
Then in Powrsuit style, we share how to be proactive and drive your own constructive feedback, check-ins and progress.

Nat and Kristen get into why dating apps have got so bad - and general swipe fatigue (the same friction-removing tech logic has leaked into job hunting), and why Gen Z are heading back to real-life 'third places' like run clubs and work for dating. Then the bit that actually matters for your career: why who you partner with makes or breaks it.

Nat and Kristen turned up in matching green tops to talk about the roles we all slip into when things go sideways - victim, villain and hero. Kristen owns up to being a chronic hero (that dopamine hit of solving everyone's problem, whether they asked or not), Nat cops to villain as her go-to, and they use a very unhinged Married At First Sight dinner party to show all three playing out in real time.
Where the drama triangle came from (a 1960s sports doodle, weirdly) and why these roles still run the show at work and at home.

A Powrsuiter put her hand up for a stretch role, got it, then froze - terrified that asking questions would make her look stupid. Nat and Kristen unpack why that's textbook imposter phenomenon, and why the first 90 days are for diagnosing before you prescribe, not hitting the ground running (a pretty damaging bit of advice, when you think about it). They cover the listening tour, why no one's paying you to know everything on day one, and the exact questions that build credibility instead of eroding it. Plus a slightly unhinged detour into where 'teach your grandmother to suck eggs' actually comes from.
