  • Hi!!! It’s been a little bit but we’re back with another WWYD episode! This week your questions are about in-laws and a dependent friend.

    QUESTION #1: My partner is the best but his parents don’t seem to like me. They live overseas and they have no interest in visiting us. I try really hard to involve them in our lives, but they never reciprocate. I can’t help but think I am not who they wanted for their son or their family. 

    QUESTION #2: I feel like I’m in a completely different life stage to my best friend and I don’t know what to do. I’d be very happy to let the friendship naturally shift, however she is incredibly dependent on me. How would you suggest approaching the friendship going forward without cutting it off fully, but empowering the both of us to be able to live more independently?

  • Steph watched the new Netflix documentary about Kylie Minogue. In the documentary, Kylie reflects on the insecurities that have stuck with her throughout her career, like that she didn’t deserve her success or that she doesn’t have a good voice.

    This got us thinking about the small comments that were made about us when we were younger that unfortunately have stuck with us for decades.

    Plus! Laura and Dalton have been playing pranks on each other and we’re sorry if that’s not what you signed up for on your Monday morning.

  • It’s time to open the mailbox!

    This week you sent in questions about picking bridesmaids and your partner being uncomfortable with you having a male friend.

    QUESTION #1: I have 3 best friends and a sister which makes choosing bridesmaids really difficult. I’d love to have all of them but having bridesmaids is very costly. How would you break it to a best friend that you won’t be having her as a bridesmaid?

    QUESTION #2: I’ve recently become friends with my partner’s (straight, male) friend. My partner has mentioned a couple times that he feels at times uncomfortable with the dynamic. How do I navigate this without feeling like I’m being told who I can or can’t be friends with?

  • As millennials we are SO excited to see The Devil Wears Prada 2, but something we can’t get over is how the cast look exactly the same as they did in the original movie from 20 years ago.

  •  This week we’re talking about the expectations put on mothers sharing (or not sharing) motherhood online. 

    We know y’all love Shameless as much as we do, so you might have heard a conversation that Michelle & Zara had a few weeks ago about Margot Robbie and an article calling her out for pretending she’s “not a mum”.

    It inspired us to share our own experiences of sharing motherhood online and how Laura’s opinions have changed since giving birth to Atlas.

    QUESTION #1: my fiancé went to the strippers on his buck’s night. He told me straight away and he can’t stand the thought of cheating, but I can’t get the thought of another woman sitting naked on his lap, out of my head

    QUESTION #2: I’m 18 weeks pregnant and I’m really struggling with family commenting on my body using words like "fatty" or "oh yes, your gut is getting bigger" when I barely have a bump

  • You know how much we love a trip down memory lane. Steph's been getting targeted with reels about what life was like as a kid in Australia during the late 90’s and early 2000’s, and so we wanted to ask you guys - what do you miss most about that time? We’re talking computer rooms, Dolly magazine, the Sims, calling the landline and talking to your friend’s mum, Video Ezy on a Friday night, and lots more!

  • Hello!! Every now and then we’ll be publishing episodes that we’re calling ‘Business Lessons’ where we speak with business owners, founders, and folks with careers that we admire and ask them about the lessons they’ve picked up along the way.

    For this episode - Laura sat down with Founder & Managing Director of FW, Helen McCabe. FW is an inclusive, member-led organisation committed to achieving gender equality in Australian workplaces. Previously Helen spent more than a decade as a journalist at News Corp and as Editor-in-Chief of The Australian Women's Weekly.

    In this conversation, Helen & Laura discuss the way that women most commonly describe their leadership style, the skills that good leaders need to master, differences between male & female leaders, introverts as leaders, and whether or not women still need to be likeable. 

    We also answer one of your questions: As a Gen X woman who built my career proving my commitment through hard work, I’m finding it challenging to adjust to younger generations who set very clear boundaries around their time and workload. How do I reconcile my work ethic in a workplace culture that values balance differently?

    HELEN & FW
