Episode Your Questions, Our Unqualified Opinions
Apparently we're now qualified to solve everyone's problems.Questionable? Absolutely.So this week, we handed the podcast over to you and invited you to ask us anything. Careers. Parents. Partners. Empty nests. Work friends. Narcissists. Grief. LinkedIn (which, as you know, remains my natural enemy). Nothing was off limits.We talk about why women are still terrified of backing themselves, why your work bestie might actually just be a trauma bond with a shared lunch break, and why if someone tells you you're "too much", they can politely go and find less.We tackle narcissistic parents, the complicated grief of missing someone who's still alive, whether it's ever okay to stop rescuing your family, and why becoming an empty nester isn't the end of your story... it might actually be the beginning of the best bit.There's also a healthy amount of swearing, unsolicited relationship advice, Tansy comparing LinkedIn to a soggy biscuit, and at least one reminder that you're dead a long time - so wear the sneakers, cut your hair, paint with your boobs if that's what makes you happy.This episode is funny. It's honest. It's a little bit feral. And if you've ever found yourself asking, "Am I the problem?"... well, come sit with us before you decide.We unpack:Why confidence gets labelled as arrogance (especially if you're a woman)The truth about work friends"My partner says I'm too much..."Narcissistic parents and family estrangementEmpty nest syndrome without losing yourselfSupporting adult children without enabling themWhether 50 is too late to reinvent your life (spoiler: absolutely not)Grief, boundaries and why sometimes love means saying no.Pull up a chair.
