You know that feeling when you’ve got a big deadline looming and your brain’s like, “Let’s do everything at once”? Yeah, same. In this ep, you’re hanging out with Stacey (very pregnant) and Ané (very purgy) as they chat about the chaos of doing it all… and the magic of letting go.

Here’s what you’ll vibe with:

✨ What it actually means when your body whispers "slow down"
🌀 Navigating burnout, foggy brains, and the pressure to get it all done
📋 Using the “Wheel of Life” to figure out WTF your real priorities are
🧼 How chucking out old flowers or vacuuming can be more healing than smashing through your to-do list
💃 Reclaiming the feminine – bringing back joy, play, and permission to rest
🎨 Painting by numbers, dancing while cleaning, or just lying down – it all counts
🤝 Having someone to check in with when the masculine hustle gets too loud

This one’s for you if you’re juggling business, life, deadlines, and big feels. (So, everyone.) Expect real talk, tender moments, and a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to slow the hell down.

💌 Let us know how you’re finding balance, play, or peace – we’d bloody love to hear it. And if this ep helped? A cheeky review goes a long way.

Hey legend, in this episode, we’re talkin’ about being seen—like, properly raw, sweaty-from-the-gym, no-makeup real. You know, the bits most people filter out on the ‘gram.

You’ll hear us unpack:

• Why perfectionism is just fear in high heels.
• The low-key anxiety of always trying to look the part.
• The sneaky ways old school comments (cheers, Mum) mess with your self-expression.
• How your support system IRL changes how you show up online.
• Reclaiming messy, no-pressure friendship hangs (yes to PJs, no to sparkly top expectations).
• What to do when your vibe starts evolving but your mates don’t.
• Creating sacred space for the raw you—even if it’s just on your lounge room floor with a bowl of twisties.

We get honest about loneliness, online masks, and why your heart probably needs a little tune-up from time to time. It’s all about showing up as yourself—even if that self is halfway through a bleed and not in the mood to talk.

You'll laugh, nod, and maybe feel called out in the best way.

Let this be your permission slip to stop performing and start just… being.

You know when you're meant to talk about business but the energy is just… off? Yeah, that was today.

In this shadowy, slow-mo episode, Stacey and Ané lean into the pause. We talk about endings, expectations, exhaustion, and why surrendering to the moment (instead of forcing it) might be the most productive thing you do all week.

In this ep, you’ll hear:

• Why we ditched the sales chat and went with the flow
• How to honour your energy when you’re at capacity (hello, full permission to rest)
• The emotional chaos of trying to make something “special”
• Letting client relationships fizzle (without the guilt)
• How trying to force a perfect moment usually ruins it
• Our favourite unexpectedly magical memories (spoiler: they weren’t planned)
• The pressure of photos, holidays, and high vibes — and why less is often more
• A reminder that not everything needs a grand gesture… sometimes you just need a bowl of wedges and a lemon lime bitters

✨ This one’s for you if you're feeling tired, over it, or like your brain’s playing ping pong. Come sit with us in the in-between. No pressure. No to-do list. Just a little space to breathe.
