SEMI-PRECIOUS

Welcome back to the chaos, the glory, and the mulberry bush trauma that is  Semi Precious ! It’s Episode 15 — even if we weren’t totally sure at the start. Your favourite hot mess express (aka Jade) and semi-glamorous lounge queen (aka Amber) are officially  back  after their longest gap year ever. This week: bus tours, surprise periods, lost cats (RIP Jet), and life reflections fro...

If you need your spirits lifted by listening to two women laugh and talk over one another, then this episode is for you. Hector the horse gets a special mention as does the Argentinian stallion (also a horse despite Amber’s intimations). The actual topic is vision boards, however we don’t do the process (which we both use in our professional lives) much justice. During the sharing of their vision...

This episode is certainly uncut and unpolished. Staying on brand here. No edits, snorts and all. Whilst the title might imply that this episode is for the neurodivergent new mums, it could easily be called ‘how to avoid burnout’, or ‘how to share the load’, or ‘how to reach out for support’, or ‘how to say no to the Sunday lunch with the in-laws if you’re exhausted or just needing time to yourself...

WARNING: this podcast was recorded without all mentally faculties on board. We are in a slightly delirious mood so if you need a good laugh whilst you’re completing a boring task, then wrap your ears around this utter rambling silliness. As the title suggests, we share our charity hike adventures, the eating of phallic shaped chips and general rantings about public pools/bathing. Beyond Blue’s 30k...

Happy belated International Women’s Week. This episode begins in a flurry, it took over an hour to get the remote recording working (tech issues on Ambers end). During this hour, Amber was stretched out on a hotel bed drinking some pineapple, canned, cocktail concoction after a full day of International Women’s Week conference. Whilst Jade was drinking a beer and overheating in her wardrobe, which...

It's that time of the year again! In this episode the Semiprecious sisters drink bubbles (loudly), talk over each other a lot, complain about first world privileged problems (mostly Amber) and make promises for the new year which involve our listeners (yes you!) to drink wine, wrap things and hike with us. Confused? Yes, so are we. But it's Christmas, tis the season to not know whats going on. Amb...

In this episode the Semi-Precious sisters share words of wisdom (or  thinly veiled regrets) for their 25 year old selves. Amber recalls what a rocking body she had at 25 and how she wish she'd appreciated it more. Whilst Jade struggles to remember where she was at 25! Both agree that they wish they'd been more money savvy (Jade more so) and that they'd drank less (probably Jade again). Amber...

In this episode Amber and Jade share their hilarious and horrific dating stories from the past. Amber confesses to a plan to get her now husband drunk on their 4th date so he could meet Jade and friends. It did not go as planned.  Jade recommends not choosing expensive wines on first dates, in case they need to be skulled or left behind. Amber recommends a simple G&T, 3 sips- your'e done....

Look out, the Semi-Precious sisters have created their finest podcasting moment together! In this absolute ripper of an episode, Amber shares how number 7 is her lucky number, declaring lucky numbers to never be in the double digits. Jade calls bullshit and they eventually get back on track. They explore the subtle art of friendships, as usual, Amber doesn’t care too much about what people think o...

https://www.instagram.com/awakenadhdpodcast/Still on a high and maybe a little bit hung over from their SEMI-PRECIOUS launch party, Amber and Jade talk about their too-tight new jeans, anxiety about the people they forgot to invite and why the hell they used Facebook to setup the event! Jade explains why she wasn’t following the SEMI-PRECIOUS Instagram page, why celebration is an important ritual...

EPISODE 5, Amber and Jade go deep into their contrasting experience of business, personal drive, appetite for risk and connection to the term “boss bitch”. As Jade describes it, “the full hardy bravery” required to dig in, work hard and build a career of passion and self advocacy. Amber reflects with some seriousness, on her approach to “failing fast” and the risk v reward attitude that drove her...

In episode 4, Amber and Jade share their experience of ageing as Amber sits across from Jade studying how much ‘work’ there is to be done- beginning with her thin patchy eyebrows and chipped nails. They share both their ageing vulnerabilities and they way in which they feel more empowered in their 40’s. They push back on the antiquated notion of ‘dress your age’ and Amber muses that clothes should...

In episode 3 of SEMI-PRECIOUS Amber and Jade unpack their ADHD diagnosis journey and the impact it’s had on their lives thus far. Warning: this episode is not as amusing or witty as you might have come to expect if you have listened to Episode 1 and 2 so if you are in need of light relief then this might not be your vibe. Sorry, not sorry 😘 Tune in if you want to hear Jade slipping into Counsello...

In episode 2, the Semi Precious sisters share what it was like growing up in the 70’s and 80’s in a big and somewhat dysfunctional family. They quickly discover there are a few things they didn’t know about one another. Jade reveals that she wasn’t a goody two shoes despite her smiling façade, whilst Amber confesses, she was both a scaredy cat and “a bit of an asshole”. As the youngest 2 of 5 sist...

A podcast that’s clever, silly and sometimes unbelievable. SEMI-PRECIOUS follows the stories of two high energy neurodivergent sisters who have survived some pretty tricky life situations. In what can only be described as a classic case of over sharing, the hosts, a brand strategist (the blonde one) and a relationship counsellor (the brunette) talk uncut and unpolished about business, raising huma...

https://www.instagram.com/awakenadhdpodcast/?igshid=MmIzYWVlNDQ5YgIn this episode you will be introduced to us, your SEMI-PRECIOUS sisters Amber and Jade. While it’s a bit of a bio for both of us, you will come to see why we talk about being “uncut and unpolished” and how we are learning to embrace being beautifully imperfect, absurd, random, clumsy, sweary, rebellious and sometimes forgetful hot...
