Why is it so easy to tell everyone else they deserve good things, but so hard to believe it about ourselves? This week, we’re talking about worthiness, belonging and that little voice that tells you, “You don’t belong here.” From feeling awkward in business class to walking into expensive stores, buying nice things and worrying about what other people think, we unpack the stories we tell ourselves about what we’re allowed to have and enjoy. Because maybe the real challenge is putting your shoulders back, owning your place and actually enjoying the ride.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re digging up our very first Facebook and Instagram posts and honestly, some of them should have stayed buried.

Plus, 90s R&B, pasta guilt, Sizzler nostalgia and a debate over who is actually the bigger germaphobe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of us is sending her girls to Schoolies and trying not to panic. The other has already started bribing hers with trips so they never go.

In this episode, we have a very personal conversation about relationships, red flags and the things you sometimes only recognise years later. Katie shares the story of a relationship she was in at 21 the jealousy, control, gaslighting and ultimately physical violence, and why, for years, she never allowed herself to call it domestic violence. We talk about why it can be so hard to leave, the shame that can come with looking back, and how much of it comes down to self worth. It’s a confronting conversation, but an important one and a reminder of just how powerful sharing our stories can be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
