• 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?

  We're resharing one of our most popular episodes this week! Whether you're hearing it for the first time or need the reminder that yes, you ARE a leader.We explore the common phenomenon of women hesitating to see themselves as leaders despite their roles and behaviours suggesting otherwise! We touch on societal stereotypes and expectations of what leaders should look, act, and sound like, often not aligning with traditional gender norms.But what defines a leader, really? We break it down beyond titles and positions, highlighting key behaviours and skills like communication, empathy, and decisiveness that characterise effective leadership.We also debunk the myth that leadership equals formal authority over others, emphasising how anyone can inspire and motivate those around them, regardless of their official title.So, if you've ever questioned your leadership potential, tune in as we share insights, stories, and practical tips to help you recognise and embrace your leadership qualities.'Til next week, Powrsuiters! www.powrsuit.com

• Ep 134: Hard Conversations (And Why We're All Avoiding Them)

  Nat and Kristen tackle the courage crisis - why everyone's ghosting, avoiding feedback, and nodding along in meetings while secretly hating every idea. They break down Brené Brown's claim that lack of courage is CEOs' biggest problem, share why tech makes us all commitment-phobic, and give you the exact words to start those conversations you've been dodging.From separating facts from your dramatic internal monologue to practising your opening line out loud, they cover how to disagree without being labelled "difficult" and why treating hard conversations like a third-party problem changes everything. Loved what you heard?
