In this episode of Between Us Three, Lauren, Nathan, and Chris navigate the "North Pole level" exhaustion of the holiday season while dissecting the latest shifts in workplace culture. They explore the rise of "Job Hugging," where employees choose the security of their current roles over job hopping while still advocating for better pay.

The conversation dives into the digital age's impact on productivity, from the phenomenon of "brain rot" and two-speed scrolling to the Australian government's landmark $49.5 million social media fines.

Between stories of horse riding mishaps and $5,000 mattress toppers, the trio discusses the "brain defrag", a mindfulness practice of using journaling to turn fragmented thoughts into clear, actionable blocks of focus.
