Wildly Appropriate w/ Krissy Marsh

Everyone's writing a to-do list for 2026. The one that changes your year is the to-don't list. The Year of the Horse starts on the 17th of Feb, and this is a fire horse... once every 60 years. Setting goals is easy. The hard part is naming what you'll stop doing. People pleasing. The commitment that drains you. Baggage that was never yours. What you'll get: • Why a to-don't lis...

Nicola Peltz is running the Meghan Markle playbook on Brooklyn Beckham. Here is why he crawls back. Spoilt brat. Rumoured million-dollar allowance. Suddenly a Beckham. You look at a family falling apart and there is almost always one person who caused it. The dress war, the "ruined" dance, the renewed vows, and the slow drag away from his whole family... to me it is the same script Meghan ran on H...

17 years old, first day on a trading floor... 100 men, one other woman, no HR department to call. The Wolf of Wall Street, but real. Krissy walked in at 7am, got handed a nickname, and decided who she'd be in a man's world. The case against chasing "female equality"... and why quota hiring sets women back. What you'll get: • The three types of women in business • Why quota hiring backf...

Prisoners told a researcher the same thing... no boundaries growing up, and they never felt safe. That's from a book called Raising Boys, written by someone who spent years inside the New Zealand prison system. It changed how I raised my three. Boundaries aren't the opposite of love... they're how a kid feels secure. So yes, I smacked them, I put soap in their mouths, and they tell me...

22 years ago I was crippled with mum guilt. Here's what finally stopped it after 15 years. Guilty for working. Guilty for the gym. Guilty for five minutes in the shower without the baby on the floor. If you can't breathe without your newborn in the room, this is for you. I ran a business with ten staff while my kids were tiny and still felt like I was failing them daily. It took getting re...

He knew at five. He came out at nineteen. And he carried his passport everywhere so he could run. This is a coming out story without the movie ending. Kyle, who produces this show, sits down with Krissy and tells the truth about those years. A secret boyfriend for five years. No one to follow. And the one therapist line that turned it around. What you'll get: • Why "I'm sad" was the only t...

Seven losses in about three years. And the part nobody warns you about is not the grief... it is the paranoia. One in four pregnancies end in miscarriage. Krissy lived that seven times, one a set of twins, all before 20 weeks, and she is telling all of it. The losses, the surgeries, the husband who thought he was bad luck and stopped coming to scans, and the last pregnancy that finally held. What...

A stranger on a boat asked me about foreign exchange at 17. That yes started a whole career... and taught me what a mentor really is. I never went looking for one. I just kept saying yes, and the right people kept turning up. The trading floor. The chef at the Ritz. The coffee that became a job. Then the GFC hit, I'd gone two years without a wage, and my husband walked into my business and sta...

You do not need the credentials. You need to know how to sell yourself... Krissy started working at 12, talked her way into Ritz Carlton, became number nine in the world there, then rebuilt as a property agent. None of it was about qualifications. All of it was selling herself into the room. What you'll get: • How to get past the gatekeeper screening every call • Why "just start" beats waiting...

We are back with a brand new season and a rebrand. The Vodka Lectures you know and love has become Wildly Appropriate! Just like Krissy. Thank you for all the love and you patience as we prepared this new era.

Your last kid is about to leave and you have no plan for the empty nest. Here is how to reinvent yourself first. Next year Krissy's youngest finishes school. More time, fewer drop-offs, and one question every parent keeps asking... what now?? But this isn't only for mums and dads. A stroke overnight. A marriage that ends. A career you've outgrown. The change is coming. The only choice...

Everyone wanted to know why I'd do Real Housewives. The truth ... it was a job. And I quit. People love asking why you'd "degrade yourself" on reality TV. So here's what they never ask. The auditions. The psych tests. The 12-hour days cut down to 20 minutes. Season one was the most fun and the most traumatising. Season three was incredibly toxic. So I left. 150% done. What you'll g...

Imposter syndrome is a woke excuse to fish for compliments... and two successful women just proved Krissy's point. One built a thriving food company. One sits on a pile of boards. Both told her they feel like frauds. So she dragged the whole dinner table into the debate, then laid out her own record... Ritz Carlton, zero sales experience, selling rooms to Princess Diana, never once feeling lik...

The best day of my China life ended with my son hiding under a chair, waiting for a mum who forgot him. Part 2 of the China story. I'd finally cracked it... new language, new school, first day back at work, kicking goals. Then I got home and my daughter said "where's Billy." He was 13. School an hour away. Minus 22. Phone dead. Found under a chair to stay warm. And the first thing he said...

He said we had to move for work... and within a week it wasn't Hong Kong, it was China. Three kids, a seven-bedroom house, a two month timeline. I rang my mum hysterically crying and she just went... Hong Kong, China, what's the difference!! So we went full steam train. One day to find a driver, the schools and the apartment. Then the furniture left and I ended up on a bare mattress, cryin...

A flatmate handed me one book when I was 23... and I've reread it six or seven times since. Before the book came the flatmates. The baked-beans thief. The toothpaste situation. The night I opened the wrong door at the worst possible moment. And then the book that genuinely changed how I think. Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. A book about hope, grief, breakups, and what actually...

She moved countries, had his baby... now she's sleeping with his brother. Two affair dilemmas, one verdict. Krissy reads two listener letters out loud and does not hold back. A woman two years into an affair with a married man at work, drowning in gifts and "I'll leave her soon." And a new mum who moved here from Italy, lost the spark, and is now sleeping with her partner's brother bec...

You put off the one call that matters and do everything else around it... here is the fix. Eat the toad. First thing every morning, do the ugliest task on your list. The hard call, the gym, the conversation you keep dodging. Krissy built a real estate company on it. She mastered the thing everyone hates, cold calling, and it brought 99% of her business. What you'll get: • The one rule that kil...

You don't have an overthinking problem. You have an action problem. A nation of doubters, stuck in their heads over the Instagram post, the invoice, the tough call, the "does he still love me." Krissy's fix is brutally simple... action. Get up, go for the walk, send the thing, have the conversation. The spiral only lives in your head. What you'll get: • Why action kills overthinking de...

A PI took six months and found nothing. I cracked her husband's affair over one dinner. The social pages. A call to a bar called Fridays. A $25 transfer with a weird surname. That is how I undid a dad-of-four who said he flew to Canada to see the bears. But here is the question that fires everyone up... if you knew your friend's partner was cheating, would you tell her? I never would. Here...

She sells cosmetic work for a living... and still couldn't sit down for four months after her own butt lift. Matty Samaei is back and it goes everywhere. The butt lift she calls the most excruciating thing she's ever done. The dating-app age lie. And what really happens behind Real Housewives of Sydney. What you'll get: • The real recovery behind a butt lift • Why she lied about her ag...

She spilled red wine on him just to escape the date. Dating after divorce is brutal, and hilarious. Three months single felt like forever, so Matty Samaei got back on the apps and never looked back. The disaster stories are unreal, then it turns into something none of us saw coming. What you'll get: • Why three months single sent Matty straight back to the apps • The drunk date who cried in th...

You don't have anxiety. You have nervous energy ... and once you call it that, you can use it. That reframe sets up a no-filter take on parenting. You are a product of your environment, sure, but you get to decide what you keep and what you change. Krissy owns her old-school discipline, why boys need boundaries, and why she'd rather a straight-D report than a kid who's a bully. What yo...

You'd treat a new partner like gold... so why does the one you've had for years get your leftovers? Krissy's 22 years in, her parents 60. The honeymoon phase doesn't have to die. It dies when someone gets comfortable and stops trying. The gut-check: imagine you got dumped tomorrow. You'd lose the weight, change the job, become interesting again. So why save all that effort for...
