They break down breakthrough weeks (rare wins), grind weeks (boring but necessary), and heartbreak weeks (when everything goes wrong). Featuring a no-nonsense approach to slumps, why we all quit too early, and how to stop expecting constant amazingness. Basically, if you feel mediocre most of the time, you're going ok!!

Nat and Kristen dive into research showing your romantic partner is tied for the #1 factor in women's career success - right alongside your manager.

Your social life deserves a strategy. Nat and Kristen break down the friendship audit - who are your actual top 5, which relationships drain precious energy, and why you can't maintain 100 ‘close’ friendships. Plus we chat about how to reconnect without the awkward ‘catch me up on your entire life’ marathon, and why loose connections are actually pretty handy and should be low maintenance.

We're all craving human connection but somehow can't be bothered leaving the house. Sound familiar? After Kristen's solo weekend that left her feeling oddly hollow, we're diving into why over half our community is desperately lonely yet terrible at actually showing up.

Turns out we've trained ourselves to choose the couch over real humans, and surprise - it's making us miserable. We're sharing stories of random boat trips and pottery weekends that led to lifelong friendships, plus why saying yes to that awkward neighbour invitation might be exactly what you need. Because here's the thing: staying isolated feels easy but leaves you drained, while making the effort to connect feels hard in the moment but actually energises you.

Nat and Kristen take a personality quiz to figure out if they're introverts or extroverts (one's bang in the middle, one definitely gets energy from people), then share practical ways to actually boost your energy instead of just being perpetually exhausted. From fake commutes and guilt-free downtime to putting on real clothes for video calls, they cover what works for different personality types. Plus: why dating drains you, the truth about naps, and Nat's absinthe incident that has Kristen plotting an intervention. For anyone who's tired of being tired and wants to discover what gives them their energy back.

Nat and Kristen explore why managing your energy might be the game-changer you've been missing. From Obama's identical suits to why checking email first thing is basically self-sabotage, they unpack the sneaky battery drains - decision fatigue, task switching, and that brutal afternoon slump we all know too well. Plus, why the 9-5 workday wasn't built for women's energy patterns and how to actually work with your natural rhythms.

Ever catch yourself saying ‘Can I just say…’ before every meeting contribution? You're not alone. Nat and Kristen dig into why women are still waiting for invitations that aren't coming - from childhood praise for being ‘well-behaved’ to boardroom dynamics where men get called on eight times more than women. They share practical ways to ditch the permission-seeking phrases, ask for what you want, and get comfortable with hearing ‘no.’ In summary: stop asking who's going to let you - start asking who's going to stop you!

Ever been to a conference or workshop, taken great notes, then completely forgotten everything three weeks later? Turns out we forget 90% of what we learn within a week, and only 12% of employees actually use corporate training on the job.

We're talking about why companies keep spending billions on learning that doesn't stick, why your Coursera subscription isn't changing your career, and what actually works. Psst: it's less about big expensive programs and more about small daily actions and accountability.
