March 19, 2025 Shooting Your Shot, Building In Your City, and Dining Solo ft Noor
The duo you love to see is back! This week, we’re joined by Noor from The Disruption Podcast for a conversation full of laughs, hot takes, and real talk. We get into the art of shooting your shot, whether you can truly make it in your city (or if moving is a must—especially as an Aussie), eating out alone and we also debate one of the biggest life choices: securing property or travelling the world. You already know it’s all banter and vibes!

March 04, 2025 Burnout, Busy Girl's and Smelly Friends with Nasalifya Namwinga
This week, I caught up with Nasalifya Namwinga, a senior clinical psychologist and co-founder of Pola Practice, a leading mental health and well-being consultancy based in Melbourne. We dived deep into burnout—what causes it, how to navigate it, and the difference between rest and true restoration. We also unpacked the "busy girl" curse—where you're always doing something but not actually making progress. Of course, as usual, we played some games and answered your burning dilemmas—including the all-important question: how do you tell your friend they smell?
