No one wants a hot girl summer all year round...

Today, we break down the massive and incredibly intimidating topic of sustainability into tiny micro-changes we can make every day to feel better about our impact on the planet.

We've brought in NSW Young Australian Of The Year, Lottie Dalziel to walk us through the practical resources we can use to actually make a difference (and stick to it.)

Welcome to your mental health first aid kit...

One out of every two people will develop a mental health disorder in their lifetime. But for most of us, we were never taught how to handle it.

So, we've brought in psychologist Jacqui Manning to provide easy, practical tips for actually feeling better. And no, it's not a bubble bath or "smiling more!"

Always seek the advice of your mental health professional or doctor with any questions you may have regarding your mental health.

Ah, the Australian dream... or as we like to call it, the Australian f**king nightmare.

The affordability crisis, the housing bubble, the first home buyers scheme - does this stuff fill you with anxiety? Join the club.

We wanted someone to sit us down and tell us everything we actually need to know about buying a house so we've brought in property manager Fleur Schrader to help us figure out if home ownership is right for us.

Plus, we'll hear from mortgage broker Anthony Alabakov to demystify the schemes and hacks we can use to save our precious dollars if we decide to take the leap.

Alright, we need to talk about our cars...Just not too much, and without the patronising undertones pls.

We've all been there at the mechanic, nodding and wondering if they’re ripping us off...

So, we’ve brought in expert mechanic Melanie Hardwicke to school us on everything you actually need to know about looking after your car. And she’s one of the girlies so we know we can trust her.

With the recent Referendum and world events, politics have entered our group chats more than ever.

Life’s overwhelming enough as it is without trying to get up to speed on where we should or shouldn’t stand on the big issues that really matter.

To break down the ridiculously complex world of politics, voting and how Aussie Government works, we’ve brought in the host of political podcast ‘Left Right Out’ - Elfy Scott.

Elfy’s here to teach us why our vote matters, how to figure out our political values and practical hacks for finding resources that you can actually trust.

We haven't thought much about our fertility. Really, why should we? We're just two teenage girls...who happen to be in their late 20s...ANYWAY

"When are you having kids?" is a question you will no doubt be asked in your 20s, but if the entire idea of pregnancy and eggs and babies fills you with anxiety, today's episode will help.

We've brought in Gabriela Rosa, Founder of the Fertility Breakthrough Program to demystify fertility and answer ALL our questions...from birth control to egg freezing.
