Nat and Kristen dig into why we're all comparing ourselves to everyone else - and how it's keeping us stuck. They cover the amygdala's role in making you feel like a loser when someone else gets promoted, why Kristen was hunting for designer labels in op shops at age 12, and how to train your Instagram algorithm to stop showing you things that make you feel rubbish. Plus: why measuring progress on your own terms changes everything, and how knowing your 12-month goal stops you spiralling when everyone else seems to be winning (yeah, right).

Have you noticed you'll drop everything for an email but can't find 15 minutes for yourself? Nat and Kristen dig into why we're so good at meeting everyone else's urgency but terrible at our own. They cover five practical hacks to stop deprioritising yourself - from fake deadlines with actual stakes to ‘temptation stacking’. Plus: why signing up for stupid races worked for Kristen, and the push-up challenge that saved lockdown for Nat. For anyone who's ‘too busy’ to invest in themselves!

The job market's gone from employees calling the shots to everyone staying put because it feels too risky to move. Nat and Kristen tackle what to do when you're stuck in a role you'd rather leave but can't - from learning new skills on company time to actually grabbing lunch with people who aren't your usual work besties. They cover building relationships across teams (yes, even with finance and legal), documenting your wins to stay sane, and how to make your current job suck less while you wait for the market to loosen up.

Nat and Kristen tackle strategic thinking - the skill everyone claims they want until they actually have to do it. They break down why we confuse 'having ideas' with solving problems, how asking 'why' five times can save you from building yet another doomed app, and why that shiny new website you're pitching definitely won't solve anything. Plus: why strategic thinkers are problem solvers not ideas people, whether we're all just chasing dopamine hits at work, and why some would rather tick boxes than deal with actual ambiguity.

Ever sent an email you immediately regretted or lost it with your kid over a few tiny things? Nat and Kristen dig into the science of why we go from zero to rage in six seconds flat.

Turns out, it's your amygdala doing its overprotective thing. They share their own flying-off-the-handle moments (stabbed forks, hormonal brain file hunting, family boundary disasters), explain why your brain can't tell the difference between actual danger and someone sending you an ‘as per my previous email’ email, and give you the pause-and-breathe tactics that actually work when you're mid-hijack.

Nat and Kristen give you permission to deliberately fade on friendships that no longer serve you. They break down the reason/season/lifetime framework - from work besties you've moved on from to uni friends who still expect wedding invites years later.

Plus: how tricky is it to navigate the mums vs non-mums divide without offending anyone?? Why 'we should catch up!' doesn't mean you actually have to, and whether friendship breakups are worth the drama.

Nat and Kristen unpack why five generations working together create such different approaches to everything - from handling restructures to work-life balance. Boomers climbed tenure ladders when single-income households worked, Gen X raised themselves, millennials were helicoptered, and Gen Z entered during economic chaos. Turns out everyone's being logical, just from wildly different starting points. So - what actually helps when your team feels like it's speaking different languages?

Nat and Kristen dig into workplace martyrdom - that toxic cycle where you're simultaneously convinced you're irreplaceable AND furious about doing everything. They break down the origins (erm, sorry millennials, you're apparently the worst culprits!), from childhood safety mechanisms to the scarcity trap that keeps you hoarding information. Plus, the 'pink and blue jobs' problem, and how helicopter parenting accidentally created Gen Z's boundary obsession. If you've ever kept score while pretending you're fine, this one's for you.

Nat and Kristen admit they're terrible at remembering names despite meeting hundreds of women every week. They break down why this matters, share actually useful memory tricks like the FACE method, and get real about pronunciation struggles - from Māori names to whether it's Megan or Meegan. 

Plus, their sneaky hacks for when you've totally blanked, why spelling someone's name wrong in an email is genuinely lazy, and the running joke about how many ways people mispronounce Kristen.

Nat and Kristen tackle the busy epidemic - turns out we actually work 8 hours less per week than our parents did, so why does it feel like we're constantly on the back foot? They dig into research on ‘time famine’ and why knowledge workers feel more frazzled than ever. From the Obama reality check to why interruptions are destroying your actual productivity, they break down what's actually broken and how to stop confusing busyness with performance.
