    Ep 167: Why You Always Put Everyone Else First

    18/05/2026 | 30 mins.
    Turns out there's actual science behind why you do everything for everyone else before yourself. Nat and Kristen dig into the biology of why women are literally wired to put others first and how decades of conditioning piles on top to make self-prioritisation feels uncomfortable. They cover what finally pushes women to make a change, plus genuinely small ways to start reclaiming your time without a personality overhaul. Also: golf course rule enforcers, the husband who always changed his clothes first, and why sitting in a café doing nothing is actually a powr move.

    Ep 166: The Ick List: Workplace Edition

    11/05/2026 | 31 mins.
    Nat and Kristen dive into the professional version of the dating ick - that sudden, inexplicable cringe you get from colleagues and workplace behaviour. From performative cultural awareness and name-dropping to people who swan into meetings mid-phone-call just to look busy they share their personal lists of workplace annoyances (and admit some of them say more about themselves than anyone else). Weaponised busyness, auto-forwards with zero context - it's all on the table. Equal parts venting and an excercise in self-awareness, this ep will have you quietly adding to your own list.

    Ep 165: Read The Room: The Superpower Nobody Taught Us

    04/05/2026 | 31 mins.
    Nat and Kristen get into the underrated skill of reading a room - who actually holds the power (*cough* it's not always the most senior person), why where you sit says more than you think, and how to spot the silent dissenters before they tank your project offline.
    They cover what to watch for in your next meeting: who opens, who dominates, who's performing for the boss, and what the micro-moments between people are actually telling you. US

    Ep 164: The Art of the Opener: Better Conversation Starters

    28/04/2026 | 33 mins.
    Nat and Kristen tackle the lost art of starting a conversation - why we've all gotten terrible at it (thanks, Zoom), and how to stop defaulting to ‘what do you do?’ at every networking event. From the situational observation trick to the ‘gift opener’ technique, they share practical openers for networking events, random everyday bumps, and those awkward meeting icebreakers that nobody wants to call icebreakers. Plus: why ChatGPT's conversation starters are absolutely terrible and what vegetable you'd bring to a duel.

    Ep 163: The Relationship Bank Account: Who's Draining You?

    20/04/2026 | 29 mins.
    Nat and Kristen get into why so many women find themselves giving, giving, giving - and getting very little back. They break down a ‘relationship bank account’ theory (deposits, withdrawals, and who's quietly draining your savings), why being the reliable, accommodating one can seriously backfire, and how culture plays a bigger role than you'd think. Plus - the sneaky ways you might accidentally be the withdrawer without realising it - and when to stop investing in a one-sided relationship.
