This week we’re talking about the highs and lows… or the ebbs and flows… of life, and how quickly your mood and energy can shift from the smallest things. Comparison creeping in? Very real. One tiny thing throwing your whole vibe off? Also very real. We get into the power of self awareness, honest communication, […]

This week’s Question of the Week is more divisive than you’d think… Are you loyal to a deodorant brand… or are you just following the price? We get into it, from the reality of “natural” deodorants (good for the planet… questionable for anything else), to the absolute unenjoyment of a roll-on (why is it so […]

This week we’re unpacking Melissa’s community fundraising event… and like most worthwhile things, it came with both highs and lows. The highs? Fun, laughter, dancing, connection, and raising money for a good cause. The lows?

This week’s question of the week… and we’re not going to lie, we didn’t enjoy this one. Would you rather have a hand for a foot… or a foot for a hand? It raises more questions than answers.

In this bonus episode, Liane shares her journey with vulnerability, starting from a belief that many of us carry without even questioning… that she could never. That thought shaped more than she realised, until she decided to challenge it in a big way… signing up for a marathon after doing one run. We get into […]

Meanwhile, Liane is firmly in the snot phase of illness (you know the one), and Melissa makes a confession that might divide the room… blowing your nose without a tissue. We’ll let you decide […]
