We’re talking about the real stuff that keeps us up at night; the pressure, the mental load, the burnout, the identity shifts, and the constant balancing act.

  • 12. Tiny Wins & Y2K Spins
    Jul 29 2026

    We're celebrating the tiny moments that somehow feel like major life achievements.


    From the absolute satisfaction of the deli worker nailing the exact weight you asked for, to discovering money in a long forgotten bank account, we're talking about the weirdly specific wins that instantly make your day. We also confess to the completely irrational things we all do, like forgetting to register our car!


    You've got to stay until the end with this one though, because we take a nostalgic trip back to the early 2000s, reminiscing about the fashion we somehow convinced ourselves looked good, towering 10 inch heels and sweaty dance floors.

  • 11. Devon, Debates & Dangerous Opinions
    Jul 22 2026

    We made it to Episode 11 and considering only around 8-10% of podcasts make it past 10 episodes, we're calling that a win!


    This week we're taking a nostalgic trip through iconic Aussie childhood foods, reading some anonymous listener submissions (that may or may not get us cancelled 😅) and debating life's biggest conundrums... like whether it's ever acceptable to recline your seat on a domestic flight.


    As always, it's full of laughs, questionable opinions, and the kind of conversations you'd have with your best friends.

  • 10. Part 1 - ADHD: Stats, Facts & Hard Truths with Dr Kate
    Jul 15 2026

    What if the things you've spent years criticising yourself for weren't character flaws at all?


    We're joined by Dr Kate Witteveen, researcher at the University of Queensland, to have an open, honest conversation about ADHD in women.


    Alongside Dr Kate's research and expertise, Jaz and Anita share their own lived experiences of navigating late diagnoses, masking, self-doubt and the overwhelming feeling of finally having pieces of the puzzle fall into place.


    We want to know:

    • Why so many women are only being diagnosed later in life.

    • The signs and symptoms that often get overlooked or misunderstood.

    • Why ADHD can look so different in women than the stereotypes we've grown up with.

    • The stigma surrounding diagnosis and medication.

    • The emotional impact of spending years wondering why life feels harder than it seems to for everyone else.

    • How hormones, motherhood, careers and the mental load can make ADHD symptoms more noticeable in your 30s.

    • Why seeking support isn't about finding an excuse, it's about finding an explanation.


    More than anything, this episode is about advocacy.


    There are so many women silently struggling because they're worried they'll be judged, dismissed or labelled if they speak up. We want this conversation to remind you that asking questions, seeking answers and advocating for yourself isn't something to be ashamed of; it's one of the bravest things you can do.


    If you've ever felt like you're constantly overwhelmed, forgetful, emotionally exhausted, or like you're working twice as hard just to keep up, this episode is for you.


    We encourage you to deep dive into Dr Kate's findings to learn more about this important topic. Find Dr Kate's published papers here.
