What We're Seeing

On this week’s episode of What We’re Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin look back on the past four months as they reach the final episode of Season 1.

In a full-circle moment, the conversation returns to community (one of the themes that began the podcast ) and to the way a small moment can keep taking up space long after it has passed.

On this week’s episode of What We’re Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin continue the same conversation that began in last week’s episode, Why Do I Feel Unsafe Around Men?

As the conversation moves on, the focus shifts from fear and safety to aggression, power and the different ways we respond when we feel threatened. What begins with a discussion about being perceived as aggressive leads into experiences of confrontation, freezing, delayed processing, and what it can mean to find your voice and take your power back afterwards.

Content note: This episode includes a personal discussion of sexual assault and rape.

On this week’s episode of What We’re Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin explore fear, safety and the complicated ways our experiences can shape how we see men. After an attempted break-in leaves Kimberley feeling hypervigilant in her own home, they reflect on the line between responding to real danger and allowing past experiences to become a wider belief about who is safe.

They talk about social media, intuition, fear and the stories we build from what has happened to us, asking how something can be true in our own experience without being universally true, and what it means to find a sense of safety without ignoring the reality of risk.

On this week’s episode of What We’re Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin explore their relationships with their bodies, from intense self-consciousness at a German spa to inherited body criticism, ageing, grey hair and changing ideas of beauty.

They ask what it really means to care for the body rather than constantly trying to correct it, and whether loving your body begins simply by choosing to love it as it is.

In this episode of What We’re Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin talk about noticing the judgments we make about how other people spend their money—and what those reactions might reveal about our own priorities.

The conversation moves from designer clothes and expensive handbags into the less visible things money can represent: time, value, security, freedom and the choices we are willing to make when something genuinely matters to us.

A grounded conversation about the strange, personal logic behind what we spend, what we save and what makes us feel secure.

In this episode of What We're Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin talk about being okay with “I don’t know” when the next step is not yet clear.

The conversation moves into trust, the pressure to have a plan, and the moment we realise the feeling we are looking for may already be here.

A grounded conversation about uncertainty, trust, and letting life unfold without forcing an answer.

In this episode of What We're Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin talk about the fear of getting things wrong and the pressure we create when life does not look the way we thought it would.

A grounded conversation about trust, comparison, and meeting life as it is.

In this episode of What We're Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin talk about being single in their 40s, and the unexpected insights that emerge when we stop seeing it as something to fix.

Along the way, they reflect on what it means to trust yourself, question the need to be "good enough," and allow relationships to unfold without trying to force an outcome.

A grounded conversation about love, self-trust, and relating to ourselves—and others—with a little more ease.

In this episode of What We're Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin explore what happens when the life we're trying to create no longer feels aligned with the life we're actually living.

The conversation moves through ambition, freedom, old identities, family, belonging, and the invisible expectations we place on ourselves. Kimberley reflects on returning to New Zealand with a clear vision, only to realise it no longer fits the reality of her life, while Franziska shares insights from a class reunion and the role intention plays in how we show up.

Together, they explore the "golden cages" we can unknowingly build, the old stories that resurface when life slows down, and what becomes possible when we stop forcing outcomes and begin trusting where life is leading us.

In this episode of What We’re Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin talk about self-trust, dating, boundaries, and the pressure we place on ourselves to get relationships “right.”

We explore staying open without abandoning yourself, the fear of speaking uncomfortable truths, and the difference between loving someone’s essence and being honest about what actually feels aligned in reality.

A grounded conversation about heartbreak, emotional resilience, people-pleasing, saying no, and learning to trust that you’ll be okay no matter how things unfold.
