• Ep 117: Powrsuit State of the Nation #BTS

  It’s time for a town hall! What it's really like running Powersuit with a focus on growth, hustling, and of course, finding ourselves in some weird pickles. Turns out people think we're way bigger than we actually are, we have an army of members doing unpaid sales for us, and we're still driving through foggy highways at 9pm for regional gigs. We cover the feedback we get about our pink branding being ‘triggering,’ what we're actively avoiding (cold calling - no thanks), and why we're switching the newsletter to fortnightly because Nat needs her Sunday back. Plus honest chat about project planning failures, hiring anxiety, and whether protein smoothies actually work.Loved what you heard? Pass it on and leave us a 5-star review!

• Ep 116: Stop Assuming, Start Managing Up

  One in two people quit over their manager, but here's the thing: this relationship is actually a two-way street, and there's way more you can control than you think. Most managers get about 4 hours of leadership training per month, so it's up to us to manage up. In Powrsuit fashion, we lead with self-leadership and serve up actionable tips on how to crack your manager's communication code, stop making assumptions, and take control of the dynamic. When you're stuck with each other anyway, might as well make it work, right? Loved what you heard? Pass it on and leave us a 5-star review! 'Til next week, Powrsuiters!

• Ep 115: When to Skip the ‘Sorry’: A Guide to Apologising Less

  We explore why we over-apologise - that unconscious 'sorry' many of us use as a filler word that actually diminishes our impact at work and beyond. Women apologise up to three times more than men, creating a gender apology gap with real costs: undermining authority, reinforcing negative power dynamics, and even hurting pay negotiations! We discuss when apologies are actually warranted (letting someone down, making mistakes with consequences) versus when to skip it entirely (taking up space, as conversation filler, or setting boundaries). Try our 72-hour reset challenge to rewire your brain and break the sorry habit. Loved what you heard? Pass it on and leave us a 5-star review! 'Til next week, Powrsuiters!

• Ep 114: Devil Wears Prada Syndrome: Fact or Fiction?

  ‘My worst manager was a woman’ - heard that before? We tackle this taboo topic head-on, examining why women leaders often face harsher judgment for the same behaviours as men. From Queen Bee syndrome to scarcity mindsets, we unpack our unconscious expectations of how women ‘should’ lead. Whether you're dealing with a challenging boss or questioning your own reactions, our convo offers fresh perspectives on workplace dynamics without serving up the usual empowerment clichés.Loved what you heard?
