    25. We Want to Speak to the Manager... of Life

    Some days you’re thriving. Other days your dishwasher breaks, your small business feels like it’s personally trying to ruin your life, and you just want to lie on the floor and have a tantrum. This is one of those episodes. Jaz and Neets are back in the living room and we have a LOT to get off our chests. We’re talking about the reality of running a small business, the pressure of trying to make everything work and why sometimes even the smallest inconvenience feels like the final straw. From first world problems to bigger life frustrations, this episode is basically one long rant between two people who are just trying their best and occasionally wondering WHY EVERYTHING HAS TO BE SO HARD. No expert advice. No life changing lessons. Just a good old fashioned whinge, a few laughs and the comfort of knowing it’s not just you. If you’ve been feeling like you’re one minor inconvenience away from losing your mind, welcome. You’re among friends. Got a question that’s keeping you up at night?

    24. Happy After Divorce? How Dare You! with Tara Pavlovic

    We’re joined by the hilarious Tara Pavlovic for an episode that is truly one for the books. Tara has shared parts of her journey publicly before, but this conversation is a little different. We’re getting into the highs, the lows and the downright ridiculous moments of navigating separation, single mum life, work and a very public profile, all with the honesty, humour and unfiltered chaos. While life after divorce can be messy, challenging and emotional, it can also be bloody funny. We talk about finding your feet in a new chapter, embracing life after separation and why enjoying yourself doesn’t make you any less of a mum. This is Tara like you haven’t heard her before. Raw, real, ridiculously funny and full of the kind of truth that makes you feel like you’re sitting in the living room having a chat with your mates. Got a question that’s keeping you up at night?

    23. Jump Scare: Christmas Is Coming!

    THIS IS NOT A DRILL! It’s October, which means it’s officially time to clock on for Christmas. We’re talking tree traditions, the VERY controversial debate about when the decorations should go up (spoiler: it’s probably not when you think) and whether Christmas actually lives up to the hype. Plus, who’s taking charge of Christmas dinner these days and are we still finding the magic in it all or just adding more to our already overflowing plates? We’re getting organised, getting festive, and asking the questions we’re all thinking but probably haven’t said out loud yet. Because Christmas is meant to be the most wonderful time of the year… but is it really? Got a question that’s keeping you up at night? Head to our instagram page and tell us about it.

    22. The Reality of Building a Business with Tay Russell

    We’re chatting with Tay, founder of Posy Intimates, about building a business from the ground up while raising two babies under two, with a third on the way. We get real about the juggle of motherhood and business, the pressure to have it all figured out and Tay’s experience with health anxiety and the impacts it has on her everyday life. We also chat about what drives Tay to keep backing herself and taking risks despite the setbacks. Tay's story is really inspirational and we are so excited to share it with you.

    21. Anonymous Submissions: Housemate Horrors

    We’re getting into the absolute chaos that can come with living under the same roof as other people. From nightmare housemates and questionable living habits to the people who somehow manage to leave you doing ALL the cleaning… we’re sharing some of our own housemate horror stories. And speaking of things getting interesting… Jaz and Neets got a little heated this week. Let’s just say, these two have history. There are old grievances, questionable decisions and apparently some things that have never fully been resolved. So… are we witnessing a genuine argument? A little bit of unresolved housemate trauma? Or are we just two women who have known each other long enough to know exactly which buttons to push? We're giving you the censored ep today. If you want the BTS footage, head to our Instagram page.

    20. Hype Girls Reporting for Duty!

    Sometimes you just need someone to grab you by the shoulders, shake you a little and say: YOU’VE GOT THIS. KEEP GOING. This week, Jaz and Neets are putting the hype back into your life with a big dose of encouragement, a few hard truths and absolutely zero qualifications to be giving life advice. We’re sharing the advice we’ve been given over the years that has actually stuck with us, the little reminders we tell ourselves when things feel hard and the things we wish more women knew. We’re bringing the hype, the pep talks and the reminders that you are probably doing a much better job than you think. You're also getting some bonus content this week; Jaz gives us a little insight to her diabolical dating experiences from back in the day, proving that sometimes the best life lessons come from the decisions we absolutely should not have made.

    19. Unlocking AI for Women with the Hey Coco Team

    You’ve all heard the AI hype and you're probably already using it to some capacity. But what if AI could be used to make everyday life a little easier? We’re joined by Clare from HeyCoco. Clare is on a mission to help women unpack their fears around AI and feel confident using it in everyday life. Clare is joined by her friend Charlotte, who has learnt from Clare first hand just how much of a difference AI can make to everyday life. And honestly, once you see what it can do, it starts to feel a little bit like having a live-in personal assistant who never argues back. We chat about: Why so many of us feel intimidated or nervous about AIThe fear of “not knowing what we’re doing”Privacy, personal information and what we should (and shouldn’t) be putting into AIHow AI can actually help with the boring, everyday stuffSimple things you can ask AI to do TODAY to make life easierSaving time and taking some of the mental load off Most importantly, we talk about how you don't need to be tech-savvy, work in business or understand how AI works behind the scenes to start using it. You can literally start with the things that are already annoying you. Got a question that’s keeping you up at night? Head to our instagram page and tell us about it. We want to talk about it!

    18. Are You Actually Living, or Just Preparing to Live?

    We’re talking about the never-ending goalposts we set for ourselves and how easy it is to get stuck in the rat race of always working towards something. We talk about why we can feel guilty for being spontaneous, saying yes to an impulse, spending money on experiences or simply doing absolutely nothing productive. Because what happens if we finally reach the life we’ve been working so hard for… and realise we forgot to enjoy the journey? We also continue our 40 Things Before 40 list, because maybe the whole point isn’t ticking off a giant list of achievements. Maybe it’s about creating more moments that make us feel like we’re actually living. This one is a reminder to stop waiting for the “right time”, loosen the grip on the five-year plan and remember that this is your life. Right now. Got a question that’s keeping you up at night?
