  • It Aint for Sissies

    Unscripted, Unplanned, Unstoppable

    2026/02/24 | 48 mins.
    This week’s episode has a bold, carefully curated theme: absolutely nothing.
    We showed up, pressed record, and trusted that decades of opinions, mild delusion, and caffeine would carry us across the finish line. What followed was a scenic journey through tangents, half-stories, forgotten points, sudden deep thoughts, and the occasional “wait, what were we talking about?”
    There’s no structure, no research, and definitely no expert advice — just two co-hosts catching up and letting their brains roam free like toddlers in a house with no baby gates.
    So if you enjoy chaotic conversations, accidental philosophy, and the comforting feeling of listening to people figure things out in real time… welcome. This is the episode equivalent of opening the fridge repeatedly and hoping a meal appears.
    We call it content.

    My Child Has a Social Secretary (It’s Me)

    2026/02/17 | 47 mins.
    In this episode, we make a shocking confession: we have officially become our children’s full-time entertainment coordinators.
    Somewhere between Pinterest crafts, emergency playdates, “educational” outings, and the 47th snack of the day, we realised… our kids are never bored. Not in the car. Not on a Sunday afternoon. Not even for the dangerously long 12 seconds it takes to say, “I’m boooored.”
    And that’s when it hit us — we are the problem.
    We unpack how modern parenting has turned into running a boutique summer camp with no closing time, why we panic at the first whiff of boredom, and how our fear of “doing nothing” might actually be robbing our kids of imagination, creativity, and the sacred art of figuring it out themselves.
    Is boredom actually a gift? Are we raising tiny CEOs with fully booked calendars? And can we survive the sound of silence long enough to let them build a fort without us planning it?
    Join us for our look at how we accidentally scheduled our children’s childhood — and why we’re trying (emphasis on trying) to bring boredom back.

    Cha-Ching & Regret

    2026/02/10 | 44 mins.
    In this episode, we reflect on the purchases that once sparked joy… and now spark nothing but regret. From things we were convinced would change our lives to expenses that made sense only in the moment (and absolutely not the morning after), we’re unpacking all the money we lovingly set on fire.

    With the wisdom that only time—and a depleted bank account—can bring, we break down what we thought we were buying versus what we actually got. Spoiler: it was rarely worth it. Expect honesty, self-roasting, and the comforting reminder that financial mistakes are basically a universal hobby.

    We’re also not suffering alone. Our listeners came through with their own spending confessions, and honestly… some of you should be monitored.

    If you’ve ever said “it’ll be worth it” and then quietly never mentioned it again, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar.

    Forty-Three & Thinking Baby

    2026/02/03 | 52 mins.
    Forty-three. Thinking baby. Absolutely surrounded by opinions.
    In this episode, we do what they do best: talk it out. We’re diving into the question everyone seems to have an opinion on — is having a baby at 43 selfish, or just another way of doing life on your own terms? We share our perspectives, unpack the age-related assumptions, and get into the realities of choosing motherhood later in life — including doing it solo. It's an honest, nuanced conversation with plenty of humour, empathy, and zero pretending there’s an easy answer.

    Dupe There It Is

    2026/01/27 | 53 mins.
    Are dupes a clever life hack or just capitalism wearing a trench coat? In this episode, we wade into the chaotic world of “same same but cheaper,” unpacking the hype, the ethics, and the emotional whiplash of realising your “budget-friendly find” somehow costs… basically the same as the original. Stay tuned for some insider information, you and your wallet will thank us you did.
