• 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.

• Ep 137: What's In a Name? Turns Out, a Lot

  Nat and Kristen admit they're terrible at remembering names despite meeting hundreds of women every week. They break down why this matters, share actually useful memory tricks like the FACE method, and get real about pronunciation struggles - from Māori names to whether it's Megan or Meegan. Plus, their sneaky hacks for when you've totally blanked, why spelling someone's name wrong in an email is genuinely lazy, and the running joke about how many ways people mispronounce Kristen.Loved what you heard?

• Ep 136: Are We Actually Busier or Just Feeling It?

  Nat and Kristen tackle the busy epidemic - turns out we actually work 8 hours less per week than our parents did, so why does it feel like we're constantly on the back foot? They dig into research on ‘time famine’ and why knowledge workers feel more frazzled than ever. From the Obama reality check to why interruptions are destroying your actual productivity, they break down what's actually broken and how to stop confusing busyness with performance.Loved what you heard?
