    Cha-Ching & Regret

    In this episode, we reflect on the purchases that once sparked joy… and now spark nothing but regret. From things we were convinced would change our lives to expenses that made sense only in the moment (and absolutely not the morning after), we’re unpacking all the money we lovingly set on fire. With the wisdom that only time—and a depleted bank account—can bring, we break down what we thought we were buying versus what we actually got. Spoiler: it was rarely worth it. Expect honesty, self-roasting, and the comforting reminder that financial mistakes are basically a universal hobby. We’re also not suffering alone. Our listeners came through with their own spending confessions, and honestly… some of you should be monitored. If you’ve ever said “it’ll be worth it” and then quietly never mentioned it again, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar.

    Forty-Three & Thinking Baby

    Forty-three. Thinking baby. Absolutely surrounded by opinions. In this episode, we do what they do best: talk it out. We’re diving into the question everyone seems to have an opinion on — is having a baby at 43 selfish, or just another way of doing life on your own terms? We share our perspectives, unpack the age-related assumptions, and get into the realities of choosing motherhood later in life — including doing it solo. It's an honest, nuanced conversation with plenty of humour, empathy, and zero pretending there’s an easy answer.

    Dupe There It Is

    Are dupes a clever life hack or just capitalism wearing a trench coat? In this episode, we wade into the chaotic world of “same same but cheaper,” unpacking the hype, the ethics, and the emotional whiplash of realising your “budget-friendly find” somehow costs… basically the same as the original. Stay tuned for some insider information, you and your wallet will thank us you did.

    Operation: Stay Well - Boosting Your Immune System

    In this episode, we’re launching Operation: Stay Well — a highly strategic (and mildly chaotic) attempt to boost our immune systems and avoid becoming the next group chat announcement that starts with “Guys… I’m sick.” We chat about vitamins we think work, wellness habits we’re trying to stick to, and the eternal hope that antiseptic cream and good intentions will somehow keep the germs away. There’s science-adjacent chat, lived experience, and the usual dose of sarcasm because honestly, we’re just doing our best out here. If you’re also washing your hands like a surgeon and side-eyeing every cough in public, this one’s for you.

    Vibes Loading: Another New Year Catch-Up

    It’s the start of a brand-new year and… we’re still processing it. In this episode, we don’t tackle any specific topic — just a free-flowing new-year catch-up full of reflections, tangents, and the universal confusion that comes with January. The vibes are loading, and we’re chinwagging about life, thoughts, and whatever else wanders into the conversation. If you’re also not quite sure what 2026 is supposed to feel like yet, you’re in the right place.

    Welcome to 2026

    It’s that strange, sparkly time of year when time loses meaning, leftovers become a food group, and everyone suddenly believes this will be the year they become a morning person. 🎄✨ In this episode, we unpack the festive season in all its chaotic glory— Chrissy stories, overambitious plans, end-of-year reflections, and the collective delusion known as “New Year, New Me.” As we wave goodbye to 2025 and welcome 2026, we talk traditions, burnout, resolutions and what we’re actually taking into the new year (spoiler: it’s not discipline). Grab a mince pie, dodge the group chats, and join us for a festive debrief that’s equal parts reflective, ridiculous, and reassuringly honest.

    Part 2 of The Nostalgia Episode: Growing Up Analog

    You requested, we delivered - In this episode, your favourite ’84 babies take a ride in the time machine and revisit the sounds, sights, and pop culture moments that shaped our childhood.

Whether you're also a child of the '80s or just love a good throwback, join us as we reminisce, reflect, and laugh about the weird and wonderful world we grew up in.

    The Originality Dilemma

    We talk about why originality feels harder than ever, how comparison culture chips away at creativity, and the subtle ways we all unconsciously conform. From navigating social media’s influence to figuring out what “authentic” even means anymore, we break down the messy, and sometimes uncomfortable process of trying to be ourselves in a world that loves a good template. Expect personal stories, a few existential spirals, and some surprisingly hopeful takeaways about carving out your own voice—even when everything around you says to fit the mold. If you’ve ever questioned whether true originality still exists (or if we’re all just remixing each other), this one’s for you.
