What happens when we outgrow something? Even if we really love it....
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…

Under Pressure
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...

The lost accountability episode (sort of)
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…

Learn or earn?
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…

Return of the pod

Can we change our minds?
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...
-
Are we all liars? Should we be?
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...

Resting, relaxing, and recharging - Thoughts?
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...

Gals, Gals, Gals
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…

No ragrets, but some regrets
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…

But who can we trust?
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…

Wait, but what is success?
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....

Fighting that comparison urge
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…

Can women have it all?
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...
