What does it actually mean to be 'work fit' in today's world?

We are excited to be back for 2026 and today we are exploring how different generations prepare themselves to get through a working day, week, month - physically, mentally and emotionally.

Is being work fit about resilience and pushing through, as many older generations were taught? Or is it about balance, wellbeing and protecting your mental health, as younger generations are redefining it?

Come listen to us unpack the habits, expectations and reality of staying work fit and how it is possibly changing.

In our final episode for 2025, we look ahead twenty years and ask: what might disappear and what would we truly miss?

From Melbourne's iconic trams to the magic of bookshops and cinemas, we explore the everyday joys that shape our sense of place.

We also reflect on youth itself, those years when freedom feels infinite and life is full of possibility.

Join us for a nostalgic and thoughtful conversation to end the year,

In this episode, we explore how Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z each build their sense of community and how those communities shift as we move through different life stages.

From neighbourhood friendships and university groups, to workplace tribes, online communities and chosen families, we unpack what "finding your people" looks like today.

We also ask: what keeps us connected, and what makes us drift apart?

In this episode Gen Z Luke and Gen X Fiona dive deep into a very modern question: What is your algorithm showing you right now and what?

From TikTok rabbit holes to YouTube recommendations and Facebook, they explore how their feeds look completely different, built from different cultures, interests, and online behaviours.

Do they curate their content or is the algorithm doing all the curating for them? What does the algorithm say about who you are? Is your algorithm expanding your world or narrowing it?

Gen Z Luke is about to take his first big step into the workforce, whilst Gen X Fiona vividly remembers what that moment felt like decades earlier. In this episode the two compare their expectations, fears and dreams as they stand on opposite ends of the career starting line.

From first job fears to modern career hopes, they explore what each generation wants from work and what has stayed the same.

Fiona shares advice, Luke shares fresh perspectives, and together they uncover the generational gap (and the unexpected bridges).

It's Halloween in a couple of days, and on this week's episode Fiona and Darsh share memories of the first time they watched a horror movie and the unforgettable mix of fear, nightmares and fascination that came with it.

From VHS rentals and sleepovers gone wrong, too hiding behind hands and fingers in their ears, they relive the movies that scared them silly and the ones that turned them into lifelong avoiders (or fans).

Does the horror genre have a place in their adult lives through movies, books or true crime podcasts? Some scares just seem to stick with you forever.

In this week's episode, Fiona and Darsh stir up a conversation about when they first learnt to cook. What they started with, who taught them, their favourite cook books, and how their relationship with cooking has changed over time.

Our Gen X, Fiona finds peace in the kitchen, loving the creativity of baking and crafting meals from scratch.

Meanwhile our Gen Y Darsh, admits it's more if a chore than a joy.

From childhood kitchen memories to the role cooking plays in their adult lives, this episode serves up a delicious mix of nostalgia, honesty and generational flavour.

This week's episode gets personal. Fiona opens up about the heartbreak of almost losing her beloved dog, Suki - her soul dog and constant companion. She shares the fear, the tears, and the overwhelming love that surfaced as she and her family did everything they could to save her (spoiler alert: Suki made it through).

Darsh reflects on her own bond with her aging dog, Peduncle, and what it means to love and care for a pet who holds such a special place in your heart.

Together, they explore why our dogs can become our anchors, healers and family and how they teach us unconditional love and loss.

Maybe the generations aren't that different when it comes to the love of their fur babies.

This week, Gen Y Darsh reveals how her friendship catch-ups come with a plan - from planned agendas to voice memo updates in recurring chat groups.

Meanwhile, Gen X Fiona is amazed; her friendship catchups are random, spontaneous and unstructured.

Together they explore how different generations maintain connection, the rise of 'admin in friendship' and whether planning makes us closer as we navigate friendship maintenance in the age of constant communication.

Dr Minto Felix is not a stranger to migration across borders. In this episode we hear his experience of the Gen Y rite of passage of working and studying in the UK. But Mintos story extends beyond the experience of work, to stories of self discovery and becoming.

Note: We apologise for the sound quality of this episode. Dr Minto was dialling in from the UK
