Today we dive deep into the art of flirting.

Sarah confesses that she struggles to realise when someone is flirting with her but, when it comes to doing the heavy lifting herself, she could win gold at the Pan Pacifics.

Lizzie tells us what it's like to flirt as an almost married woman - you're totally allowed to do it, you just have a very different intent and outcome.

AND we learn about some seriously kick arse women who've used flirting to help win wars.

Sit back, relax and enjoy today's lesson

At the age of 17, Emily was diagnosed with a brain tumour. She was told, in no uncertain terms, that this was going to eventually be the cause of her death.

In this episode of Getting Over Yourself, we chat with Emily about how she's lived the last 20 something years with her brain tumour. She tells us about when she was first diagnosed, when she had her life altering operation to remove the unwelcome mass and what it was like trying to recover with an emotionally and physically abusive partner.

Emily is absolutely one kick arse woman. We hope you enjoy her story.

Has your vagina ever gotten in the way of a promotion at work?

Today's episode is all about sexism in the workplace, what it looks like and how to knee it in the balls if you ever come across it. Join Sarah and Lizzie and they indulge in a little rant about what it's like to have titties in the office.

Guys, dating is hard! Especially when you accidentally set your hair on fire.

This week Lizzie and Sarah unpack their dating experiences from dealing with apps, unsolicited ejaculation videos and being ghosted by assholes.

There's a few funny stories about our worst dating experiences and some pearls of wisdom from two old ladies (just us) who've been there and done that.

On Today's show we have two, real life kick arse women at the mics - Karen and Tash Redman.

Karen is the mayor of her home town of Gawler, South Australia and a Breast Care Nurse Partitioner 2 days a week (and Tash's mum)... that's right, she does it all.

Tash is a freelance tech delivery expert; a kick arse woman in tech (contrary to what people may tell you) and volunteers as a business mentor at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre in Melbourne.

In our conversations, Karen takes us on the journey of how she became mayor - the ups and downs of campaigning, the harsh reality of being a public figure and vagina you have to grow to be able to handle the public's perception of you.

Tash opens up about being negged in the workplace and shares some insights into how she became a professional at saying No.

Tune into our very first Kick Arse Conversation with two very Kick Arse women we hope you love it!

** Trigger Warning - in this episode we talk a lot about sexual assault. The content may upset some listeners**

On today's episode, Lizzie and Sarah explore the world of sexual assault.. Lizzie shares her experience of assault - recounts the events, how it impacted her then and how it still impacts her now.

Sarah chats about her experiences with sexual harassment in the work place.

We want to start off by saying that in no way do we think sexual assault is something you can simply get over; we've both been through it and know that's not the case.

We hope that by sharing our stories, we help women who've been through the same to realise they're not alone and this is never their fault. Sharing also helps us heal.
