  • Episode 26 - New year, same fuckery: kicking off another year
    Jan 8 2026

    It’s a new year! Are we new people? Absolutely not.

    In this episode, we’re kicking off another year the only way we know how: by rejecting “new year, new me,” ignoring resolutions, and accepting that we are simply carrying the same personalities and problems straight into January.

    We chat about the weird pressure to reinvent yourself overnight, why we don’t do goals that make us miserable, and how January somehow feels about 6494302 days long. There’s no 5am routines here, no life glow-ups - just two small business owners easing into the year, lowering expectations, and embracing another 12 months of mild chaos.

    If you’re already tired, haven’t set resolutions or are simply vibing at the same level as last year - welcome. You’re among friends.

    Dec 25 2025

    It’s really fucking Christmas! 🎄✨ For our Christmas special, we’re ditching the business chat and leaning fully into the festive chaos. We’re joined by the lovely Sas from Sassy Makes for a cosy catch-up all about fun, friends, and festive vibes. Expect laughs, Christmas opinions, tangents, and absolutely zero productivity chat. Grab a drink, get comfy, and come hang out with us.

  • Episode 24 - Merry bizmas: sanity, schedule and surviving the holiday hustle
    Dec 11 2025

    It’s Merry Bizmas!

    In this episode we’re joined by Chloe from Chloe Fluff Studios to talk all things festive chaos - the Christmas markets that drain your soul and your stock levels, the pressure to stay merry when you’re freezing your tits off behind your stall, and the big question: when the hell are we supposed to take a break?

    We’re sharing the good, the bad, and the mildly unhinged parts of surviving the holiday hustle as small business gals. Pour yourself a hot choccy baileys, hide from your inbox, and come feel seen.
