    Experimenting, the perfect travel buddy & Cruella 🐩

    There's some pep in our step this week! We record this one right before taking off for a weekend away, so we are PUMPED and you might be able to hear it in your earholes. 

    We explore whether you should treat life as one big experiment, why it's important to have "girl time" and our take on the Friends reunion! 😅 



    Here are some links!

    A difficult nut, creative envy, and treating your job like a freelance gig ✨

    This week we are scrambling eggs live on air. Just kidding! This is a test to see if anyone reads the shownotes. But Penny, what are you two gonna talk about!?! Well, I'm so glad you asked. On this week's episode we discuss a different way to approach your new, the three different ways to tackle career uncertainty (there might be more ways, but we're discussing just a few here), as well as the Bo Burnham Netflix special and the art of getting dressed. Do join us!

    How to deliver a GREAT presentation + what's wrong with TikTok? 😬

    How to deliver a GREAT presentation + what's wrong with TikTok? 😬

    RESTAURANTS ARE OPEN IN BERLIN! It's not a topic that we dive into this week but it does explain why we kept this episode nice and snappy! We had a dinner date to run to! 🥳

    In this episode we talk all about how to nail your next pitch or presentation, why TikTok is a little scary and also whether or not we'd recommend travelling before settling into your career!

    Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!
