Where's The Mic

Welcome back the fifth episode of "Where's the Mic"! This is a very special episode as we welcome Michelle Walschot to explore the term "Walk the Talk", with a focus on women in the workplace.

Michelle completed her BA in Psychology and then went on to do her Masters at LSE in Human Resources and Organisations (Organisational Behaviour). 

The three of us discuss what is means to be a woman in the workplace which including; quotas, domestic duties, equality vs equity, "Invisible Women" by Caroline Criado-Perez, maternity and paternity leave, boys clubs, FTSE 500, glass ceilings, “Daring Greatly” by Brené Brown, Citi Bank, income equality, Seaspiracy, instant gratification, attention spans, romcoms, periods, the pink tax, free tampons, male contraceptive, locker room talk and empowered flexibility.

We can't quite believe ourselves but, welcome back to the THIRD episode of "Where's the Mic"! In this episode we discuss a catchphrase that we think you can all relate to "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame of me".

This episode gets started with an iconic scene from Sex and the City, and somehow ends up with us discussing the incarceration system. Along the way we also debate; Eurovision, cheating, forgiveness, rationalisation, neural pathways, positive reinforcement, juvenile centres and a cost/benefit analysis of rehabilitation.

Welcome back the second episode of "Where's the Mic"! In this episode we explore one of our very own catchphrases, "It's not you, it's your habits".

“It’s not you, it’s your habits” is almost the same as claiming “I love you, but…”. Although it originated from some slight annoyance over bad roommate practices, our conversation revealed that this catchphrase actually digs a lot deeper.

So with that in mind, in this episode we cover everything from; Jess’ annoying habits, Khloe Kardashian & body image, judgement vs recognition, Brené Brown, men vs women, Celebs go Dating, Crab Theory, education systems, political correctness and even the final judgement. As always we’ve linked below any references of mentioned articles.
