  • E67. True self love 💛 & Sunny Side Up 🌻 (Ft Diana Nguyen)

    *internal girl fan screams*

    🎤✨ We had an absolute blast chatting with the incredibly talented and insightful Melbourne comedian and actress, Diana Nguyen! 💫

    From hilarious anecdotes about modern-day dating to navigating life as a product of an all-girls school, Diana shared some real gems about embracing your identity. We delved into eldest daughter syndrome, the power of freezing your eggs to buy yourself time (cos yikes the clock strikes!!), and the journey towards self-love and authenticity. 💖

    Let's all take a page from Diana's book and stop betraying ourselves, join us as we discover the journey of reconnecting with your body.


    P.S. 17 year old Mary would NEVER believe this happened. Ok bye.

  • E65. AITA? Families, weddings & babies

    Ah, the joy of families coming together - whether it's for weddings, baby showers, or the sheer excitement of welcoming a new grandchild into the fold. It's a time of love, laughter, and, let's be honest, a sprinkle of drama. 😅

    From the endless wedding planning debates (team DJ or band?) to the meticulous crafting of the perfect baby shower theme, these moments are as heartwarming as they are hectic. And let's not forget the anticipation (and sometimes expectation) of grandparents eager to spoil their newest family member. 🍼💍

    But amidst the planning frenzy and the flurry of opinions, there's a special shoutout due to the unsung heroes - the in-laws. Navigating this new dynamic can be like learning a new dance. Sometimes you step on each other's toes, but with patience and understanding, you find your rhythm....hopefully?

    In this week's episode, we sit down and unwrap the gift that is families and the drama that comes with it. Who is the asshole in the three stories that we unpack? Come, take a seat and decide with us.

  • E64. Sibling Rivalry & their roles (Ft Stella)

    The dynamic between the eldest and youngest siblings within a family often illustrates a fascinating study in contrasts and complementary roles.

    The eldest sibling, traditionally viewed as the trailblazer, frequently shoulders more responsibility from an early age, embodying the role of caretaker, leader, and sometimes, a third parent to their younger siblings. This position often instills in them qualities of maturity, reliability, and a strong sense of duty.


    On the flip side, the youngest sibling, often dubbed as the "baby" of the family, tends to enjoy a comparatively lenient upbringing, benefiting from the more relaxed boundaries set by parents who have become more experienced (and sometimes more laissez-faire) over time. This environment can nurture in the youngest traits like creativity, a sense of independence, and a charming ability to navigate social situations.

    This week, we invited Stella back onto the podcast to join our conversation on the roles that siblings play in a family and how the ranking of your family can affect the kind of upbringing you have.
