First off, we give a big old shout-out to our Mum, who we didn’t fully appreciate until we had kids of our own.

One of us went to an energy healer in Sydney to help with postpartum anxiety.

There’s also a really eerie story about a Ouija board which is guaranteed to give you goosebumps.

One of us discovered the art of micro-feminism with hilarious results.

We realised that our love for AI has catastrophic consequences for the climate and we’re not sure what the solution is.

We also laughed about a black-tie filtering strategy for single girls, a legendary family costume-party disaster involving full-body Lycra and the joys of fairy porn.

We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

One of us binge-watched the Kylie doc “for research”.

We’ve realised teenagers are now casually doing things that make our entire adolescence look like a long nap.

One of us got styling advice that instantly explained every chaotic wardrobe purchase we’ve ever made.

We got budgety again, and yes, the gas rant returned (with fresh rage).

We also started rethinking what we share about our kids online, and it got dark quickly.

We tried not to gag over a new viral hack that shouldn’t exist.

We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

One of us had to apologise for being aggressively helpful

The other one’s baby brain fully clocked off mid-meeting… and came back 15 minutes later with a lamb sandwich and zero awareness we were still on the call.

One of us went back to her favourite beach and got hit with climate grief that made it all too real

We had a side quest into electrifying your house, green loans, and why “carbon footprint” might’ve been a corporate PR trap.

We also had a moment about how nobody prepares you for the relationship whiplash after having a baby.

We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

One of us was today years old when she realised the Michelin Guide was actually invented by the tyre company

The other one casually interviewed a world leader and was jealous of their choice in shoes.

We got budgety for a minute and agreed housing is cooked, everyone’s whinging, and no one actually wants to be a politician.

One of us felt a bit weird about the new Michael Jackson film… because “experience his magic” is a bold tagline when we’re all aware of the allegations.

We somehow ended up in a very Australian spiral involving kangaroos under the house, dolphins that are not your spirit animal, and the great tea/scone order debate.

We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

Briony is the main event on the podcast this week and the joy is apparent.

But because life loves a plot twist, there are also some truly awful bits.

From growing up in a vet practice where her Dad was basically a superhero (including rescuing a literal Bengal tiger at 2am).

To over-annunciating her words wherever possible, because proper diction is important.

She landed her dream job and produced viral videos clocking millions of views for a living (what a flex).

Then Briony got the worst news imaginable and had to endure a cancer diagnosis that no one was prepared for.

Spoiler alert, she survives.

But the “after” hits hard too: chronic fatigue that feels like it will never lift.

Until she finds a life-altering process that sounds too good to be true and somehow gives her life (and joy) back.

There’s more here than we can tell you in a few sentences, so press play because we’ve Gotta Go.

It’s all about Molly this week and frankly, it’s about time.

This will probably be Molly’s favourite episode.

A couple of teasers for you:

Molly was hopeless with a refedex and outsourced her navigation needs.

She’s been planning outfits and setting trends since she was 18 months old and is still waiting for her Hollywood breakthrough.

She had dreams of being an adorable goat owner, but her reality was a psycho goat who tried to kill her daily.

Her entrepreneurial spirit started young with a travelling massage parlour and Game Boy upsells (weird combo, but her market lapped it up).

It was a great time taking a trip down memory lane, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

One of us had a sudden, humbling realisation this week… and it involved babies, friendship, and a very overdue apology.

The other one had a few thoughts about what new parents actually need from you (hint: it’s not another tiny outfit with 400 press stud buttons).

One of us is still grieving a certain era we were meant to have… which was rudely sabotaged by the other.

Briony pointed out that Aussies will renounce their stance on renewables if there are rebates up for grabs.

Molly appreciated the ego boost when AI thought she was Reese Witherspoon.

We time-travelled back to our trip to China, where we nearly got trafficked or cast in a powdered milk ad…the details are still unclear.

We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

“In every way that we can, we should be reducing our dependence on fossil fuels … whether it’s changing the transport system for the delivery of goods, food and services around Australia to electrified railway systems. Or even only reducing our own dependence through the introduction of electric vehicles and so on and so forth.”

One of us turned 40 this week… and had big feelings about what a privilege it is.

The other one is still in newborn land, where time isn’t real, and sleep is a rumour.

Molly is campaigning for drive-through everything, because getting eggs shouldn’t require a full logistical plan.

We shared a celebrity encounter from the archives that still makes us cringe-laugh, and Briony used an accent Molly will never let her forget.

Briony proved that, even though she’s terrible at accents, she has a lot of useful information about the current state of the world and why we shouldn’t be cooking with gas.

Briony also had a bit of a sex education lesson, but not in the way you’d expect.

Molly wants millions of men castrated…well, not really. But it’s pretty bleak.

As always, it was a fun time but not a long time catching up.

And now we’ve Gotta Go!
