Girls Without Degrees

Madi, who recently suggested we re-name this podcast "Madi and friend", had suggested we title this episode "I have spent so long editing this I can't remember what it's about". Yeah, it's been a week - but she's a trooper. What are we actually talking about this week? Outgrowing shit and being too comfortable; it's something we all go through, whether we realise it or not. If you take one thing f...

We all feel that crushing pressure right? right?... The fun truth is a lot of that pressure is coming directly from us - well, in the case of Madi and Rosie it is. Pressure can sometimes be a very good thing, but apply too much and you are sure to probably break. And that pressure that you feel going to uni, or in our case (and maybe yours), not going to uni. Let's talk about that! We'd love to kn...

Do you all remember when Rosie and Madi sat down sometime in the last 12 months to record an episode about accountability? Well, you probably won't, because we never actually released it. Yes, we very much understand the irony of this. We are just two girls, trying to be better at holding ourselves (and others) accountable for our own actions... Safe to say, it's a work in progress. As you will he...

Should we be learning or earning? Or, the dream third scenario, both? We delve into what you should prioritise and when and ask if there will ultimately be a winner (and is it always earning?...) It can feel like life decides for you, but should you stay in a job that pays well but doesn't develop your skills? We'd love to know your thoughts! Ft. a LOT of yapping, as per usual. Although, the intro...

But how good does it feel to hear that music again (and Madi's cough)? We are so happy to be back on our shit with something we love - and we hope you're excited too. Still a couple of Girls Without Degrees, but maybe not for much longer?.... You need to listen to the episode to find out more. This is the life update you have all been waiting for - and we have so much planned for you, so keep list...

A couple of disclaimers for this one - EXCUSE OUR NEIGHBOURS PARTY! And Madi's aggressive slamming of the table. That week, it was the Karen dog and now our new obsession is Nanalan. How often do you change your mind? The big things and the small things? It is all fun and games until you have to make the big ones. As two people that have taken lots of different paths, we know a lot about having to...

Have you ever lied on your CV? You can be honest, this is a safe space... This is a Madi takeover episode and actually one of the best conversations we have had in a long time - honest and open, it is an all-round good time! And take this as your reminder not to rate your smoothie-making skills above your ability to work hard. Lots of love R and M Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlswithoutd...

Kicking this episode off with a good old language lesson, can you tell we are in our Duoglingo era? Before you know it, we will be presenting this in German and French. But let's get into resting and recharging, because it is normal to be really bad at this right? or maybe we should all work on that... Keen to hear how you actually wind down? Please, tell us... Lots of love R&M Hosted on Acast...

This is a little bit of a different one for everyone this week, we have two special guests to re-cap the wild weekend that was Madi's Hens Weekend. We loved having two girls with degrees to join the gals without them! It was truly a crazy weekend and we are excited to share a little bit of insight with you... although the full details will remain secret, iykyk. Thank you for joining us and normal...

Hello, and we're back in the same country and straight into it. We're catching up on the chaos of the last three months, what we've learnt and some surprising changes to our personalities... It has been an intense ride but welcome back! We are so happy to be back in your lives - let us know what has changed for you? Love R & M Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are back with more rambles and trying to break down why we are it seems like everyone is on the side hustle game? A lot of laughter and a bit of a chaotic one for season 2, including a true moment of madness with us deciding to run a half marathon... We hope you enjoy and don't forget to sign up for the chance to sell you ear pictures on our new website! Lots of love R & M Hosted on Acast....

We are back for season 2 y'all! It has been a moment, but the Girls Without Degrees are back for another season of madness and advice. This week, we go into how it can be a challenge to find the balance between your best work self and best self self - it can be a lot! Side note - watched two episodes of The Idol, just as icky as first thought! We are so excited to be back and let us know how you f...

We are so excited to welcome a GWD fave to this weeks show! It was awesome to chat with Clara about creativity, moving across the world and the skills you gain at every step. Some serious little golden nuggets of information coming through with this one and we are so grateful to Clara for joining us. That, and it makes a nice change from the two of just rambling on! Lots of love R & M Hosted o...

Episode two of the double release, let's go! "It is our podcast and we will go MIA if we want to" "Rosie, that's not how we get listeners" So, a big apology from team GWD for going missing for a bit. It has been a really big week for both of us, with some pretty intense personal shit that we share with you in the first 15 minutes - more details to come in the re-record of the "Forbidden Episode" A...

As promised, the first episode of the double release week! Work can be a lot, but it can feel like a lot more when you feel like you don't have anyone to turn to... This episode was inspired by a great question from our very own Madi and it is a big one! When we lose trust in our leaders, who do we turn to? An serious question handled by two people who are not that serious, but have had their fair...

Let's discuss expectations vs reality... We get it in the workplace and we get throughout our whole lives, things are are often not what we expected but sometimes this is for the best! Tell us about your expectation vs reality? Expectation - This episode was meant for last week (whoa, why is it late) Reality - This weeks episode is actually just early and there was no episode last week! Here we go...

Episode 19, let's go! Ok, so a couple of things to start us off... Yes, the dogs do de-rail things a bit in the start and Florence gave us the dirtiest look ever which we didn't film annoyingly. Funny head spaces this week, so if at moments things feel a little unusual, that is because they are. The joys of the ups and downs of living and it is super important that we keep this true to us. We do s...

We are back and talking about that pesky thing that haunts us all... comparison. As the saying goes, comparison is the thief of joy. Both professionally and personally, we experience it. Whether its comparing ourselves to that fitness influencer, or just to each other. It can be a tough place, but can good ever come out of it? We get real about our friendship and how we deal with the highs and low...

Do you have a support network? Have you ever asked someone to be your mentor? Have you ever been asked to mentor someone else? We dive into the support systems we build in and out of work, and how they are super important - especially for us gals without our degrees. In todays culture of people trying to "one up" each other, asking for help is not a sign of weakness, pass it on! We love you all an...

Is it possible for women to have it all? And when we say it all, we mean a successful career and a family. We're talking about what we want from the future, how we plan to maintain our careers in the likely event of kiddos and is it possible for us to have both. And remember, that no one owes you an explanation as to why they don't want kids! Don't press them on it y'all. Let us know your thoughts...

The episode we've all been waiting for! It’s the Aunty Jeremy episode of GWD… It was so fab to speak to Jeremy and get his perspective, and to welcome our first guest! We hope you all love it and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts! Lots of love R & M Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello wonderful listeners! We are back for episode 14, another round of us just chatting away! This weeks episode is all about finding your place in the world and that glowy feeling you get when you feel like you have found somewhere you should be! But also the icky feeling you get when you are on the outside of things and how it can be a really gross thing to feel lost in the world! Also, we want...

Hello lovely people! A 10 minute IWD special to start your day! Lot's of love, R&M (P.S. this is not this week's ep!) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello lovely people! Another week, another Thursday, another load of babble. Most people can probably relate to this topic one way or another which is about intimidation and more specifically in the workplace. It's taken and still, to be quite honest, taking both of us some time to navigate this one and we wanted to share our thoughts and work arounds. Also an intimidating question for our friends...

Welcome back to another crazy episode where we talk about our favourite activity - O V E R T H I N K I N G ! As we practice this on a daily basis, we like to think we're somewhat experts in the matter (definitely are not). Do we love it or hate it? You'll have to find out. Madi also happily derails this convo and takes us down a path of talking about past lives and our beliefs... what does this ha...
