The Antoinettes

The show where we share a name but not often our views…  and tackle a new problem every week. Love, lilac, linen and lunges is definitely not what we're about. That's all the other lady duo podcast. We like to go deep, and lunge into tricky social, cultural and political territory.   Welcome to the shit show! Welcome to the bin fire! New episode every Thursday.

    5 Ways to Cultivate Hope When The World Feels Upside Down

    Feeling helpless and hopeless? Same here.  There’s this creeping feeling—once a whisper, now a roar—that things are spiraling out of control. Glaciers are vanishing, children are being murdered—roller blades still on—slaughtered while playing, in a world consumed by hatred. And our leaders? Useless. It’s enough to make anyone feel like throwing in the towel.   But hey, they say you *have* to hold on to hope, right? Thoughts, prayers, yada yada. Hope is powerful, but how do you even begin to keep it alive when everything feels like it’s burning down?   Enter Dr. Preeya Alexander—GP, health communicator, and someone who’s also grappling with finding hope in this mess. She joins The Antoinettes to share five *actually* practical ways to stay hopeful—even when it feels impossible. _________________ Please rate and review if you enjoyed this episode!

    Digital Detox Drama + 'Right to Disconnect' Laws Now In Place

    Like many work/life balance hopefuls, several weeks ago one Antoinette announced she was unplugging from work and social media and having an extended digital detox.  The other Antoinette raised both eyebrows at whether this was ever going to happen, and in this episode we share what really transpired. It includes a fake virtual assistant and a concealed knife. It comes as Australia’s new laws on the ‘right to disconnect’ from work come into effect, while there’s resistance at a similar proposed law in California.  But has the digital horse already bolted irrespective of law changes? Is unplugging ever really an option? The Antoinettes can’t agree, and enjoy making fun of each other instead. ____________________________________________________________________ Please rate and review if you enjoyed this episode!  Click here to subscribe to The Antoinettes.
