Season 2 starts with a question every woman has asked: why are women taught how to avoid male violence instead of men being taught not to commit it? From sharing our location and avoiding late-night walks to pretending to be on the phone, women are taught countless rules to stay safe. But why is the responsibility always placed on us? In this episode, we unpack the invisible mental load of women’s...

This podcast started as a group chat gone rogue, a wellness intervention, and occasionally an unhinged act of feminist rebellion. In our Season 1 finale, we take on the rise of the manosphere - those very shouty influencers promising young men a cheat code to power, money and multiple girlfriends. We also reflect on what Big Yoni Energy has come to mean to us, and make the case that in a world inc...

Let’s find out. Send us Fan Mail

Ever said something completely reasonable and been told you were too aggressive, too cold, or too difficult? This episode is about tone and why women are so often judged on delivery, vibes, and facial expression instead of the actual point.

When two podcast bros start spiralling about the declining birth rate, one woman’s TikTok is held up as proof of growing anti-family sentiment - prompting a lecture on why people should be less selfish and just have children, even as one admits, “there’s no emotion in my body that’s telling me this is a good idea.” In this Quickie, we unpack the bad takes, the missing self-awareness, and why confu...

Women are taught from a young age to shrink themselves - to be agreeable, grateful, and apologise for literally everything.  In this episode, we unpack why over-apologising isn’t a personality trait - it’s social conditioning.

AI can write your emails, plan your meals, and help you flirt. Which sounds amazing… except it’s also creating deepfakes, stealing authors’ work, and replacing actresses with digital dolls who never age, argue, or ask for equal pay.   In this episode, we explore what AI really means for women: the good, the bot and the ugly. Content Note: This episode contains discussions around mental health and...

We used to light a candle and call it self-care. Now it’s moon meditations, mouth taping, ice baths, juice cleanses and collagen gummies, because apparently being well costs all your free time, half your income, and a little bit of your sanity. In this episode we unpack how wellness culture went from healing to high maintenance, why so many of us are burnt out trying to feel better, and what actua...
