A little life update from the couch. Tully accidentally became Sarah's girlfriend for the evening, we're both heading overseas (separately, before the rumours start), Sarah shares her best travel tips, and somehow... we've become one of those podcasts that talks about politics.

Plus, Sarah has acquired an old-person accessory she never saw coming, and we bring back our favourite segment: Things We Never Used To Care About But Now Absolutely Do.

Come for the life update, stay for the chaos.

Parenthood comes with plenty of advice, but what about the parts nobody prepares you for?

This week we're talking friendships after babies, the transition into motherhood, the invisible load carried by parents, screen time, food battles, the hardest ages, going from one child to two, and the question every parent asks: how do you split your love?

Sarah joins the conversation as the observer, asking the questions many people are thinking, while the mums share the realities of raising children in today's world.

A real conversation about parenting, identity, friendship and figuring out what's next.

This week on Curious, we accidentally start with Off Campus and end up questioning the entire wellness industry.

From sleep scores, supplements and optimisation culture… to politics, cost of living, mental health and the weird feeling that everyone is going through something right now.

Also: why we suddenly care about things we never used to care about (hello adulthood).

Where did you think you'd be by now?

Married? Kids? Dream career? Financial freedom? Corporate success?

In this episode of Curious Conversations, we sit down with one of our closest friends, Hayley, a marketing and events powerhouse who has worked across the AFL, Olympics, Formula One and some of the world’s biggest sporting events to talk about careers, timelines, burnout, marriage, kids, happiness and the pressure to “have it all figured out.”

From chasing salary goals and corporate success, to choosing freelance life, experiences over titles, and questioning the timelines society tells women they should follow.

We chat:

– Career pivots, freelancing & burnout

– Success vs happiness

– The pressure around marriage & children

– Choosing a life that actually aligns with your values

– Society’s “tick box” timeline

– Changing your mind as you grow

– Why not everyone wants the same life

[Watch the episode here] This week on the Curious Conversations Business Series, we sit down with Pana, the founder of Pana Chocolate, one of the world’s first vegan, raw, and gluten-free chocolate brands.

Before plant-based products became mainstream, Pana was already building a business that would go on to shape a new category in grocery stores.

In this episode, he shares how watching Chocolat inspired the idea, his drive to always work for himself, and what it really takes to build something from nothing.

A conversation about creativity, risk, and creating your own path.

Curious Conversations is back… and this one goes a little off the rails.

What started as a casual girls’ night Curious Questions conversation cards quickly turned into conspiracy theories, rogue opinions, tin foil hat moments, and the kind of chats that should probably stay off the internet… but here we are.

[Watch episode here] This week on Curious Conversations, Elisha is back on the couch and this time, we’re talking about our other baby…

Stitch Up Studios.

But honestly…

What is it? What do we actually do? And where are we at with it all?

In this episode, we break down the business behind the shows, what we’re building, the reality of running a media company, and where we see it going.

[Watch the episode here] This week on Curious Conversations, we asked a simple question on the couch:

How do you actually build connection with people?

What followed was a real and surprisingly different set of answers.

We dive into what it takes to build genuine relationships, from vulnerability and authenticity to boundaries, time, and understanding your own personal values.

[Watch on YouTube here] This week on Curious Conversations, we’re diving into the conversations people have behind closed doors, the ones where we don’t necessarily agree.

Should mums always be the ones organising catch-ups?

What matters more in relationships, physical intimacy or emotional intimacy?

And when it comes to friendships… should you take them back after they’ve hurt you?

It’s honest. It’s uncomfortable. It’s real.

We unpack expectations in motherhood, the pressure to maintain friendships, emotional vs physical connection in relationships, and the hard truth about forgiveness and second chances.

Because sometimes growth doesn’t come from agreement, it comes from debate.

Let us know in the comments:

• Do you expect mums to initiate catch-ups?
• Physical or emotional intimacy?
• Have you ever taken a friend back?
