In this episode, Catherine and Roxanne reflect on what it means to move through different seasons of life and arrive in their mid-30s. They unpack how they once imagined aging would feel, the mental and emotional shifts they’re still navigating, and the ways they’re learning to embrace being fully grown women.
In this episode, Roxanne and Catherine share an open and thoughtful conversation about how and why they’ve chosen to be childfree. They speak with deep respect for parents and the responsibility of raising children, while also acknowledging the magnitude of parenthood and how that reality informed their decision. The episode explores the judgments and assumptions often placed on childfree couples, including queer couples, and how they are intentionally defining themselves as a complete and valid family unit. A reflective and affirming conversation about choice, agency, and living in alignment with your values.
In our latest episode, Catherine and Roxanne speak candidly about what it’s really like to feel stuck - in life, in work, and in yourself - and the often uncomfortable process of getting unstuck. Through their personal experiences, they reflect on the frustration, uncertainty, and self-doubt that can come with being in a stuck place, as well as the unexpected gifts that emerged on the other side. Roxanne also brings her perspective as a Career Confidence Coach, offering insight into how she supports others through similar moments of transition. This is an honest conversation about growth, courage, and choosing movement even when clarity feels far away.
In this episode, Roxanne and Catherine dive into the media that shaped how they saw themselves growing up and into adulthood - from TV and music videos to early internet culture and today’s social feeds. They talk about how these influences fuelled both self-expression and insecurity, how their relationship with media has shifted over time, and what they’ve had to reimagine for themselves. They also reflect on how they’re now contributing to the media landscape in their own way, recognising the powerful role media plays in shaping how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible.
In this episode, Catherine and Roxanne open up about their experience of marriage as a queer couple - what shaped their early perceptions of marriage, how those ideas shifted over time, and what it actually feels like to build a life together. They get honest about their different viewpoints, the values they agree matter most in a long-term relationship, and the decisions they’ve made to shape a marriage that feels true to who they are. They also acknowledge something important: marriage is one path, not the path, to living a full and meaningful life.
In this opening episode, Roxanne and Catherine unpack how the idea of success has evolved for them as individuals, partners, and professionals. They explore how childhood dreams, social expectations, and lived experiences have reshaped the way they set goals and make plans.
