Happy birthday to us! We're two years old... and we'd like to think we're just a lil bit wiser. On the theme of International Women's Day, we're figuring out what being 'that girl' means to us. You know the type. Health. Career. Social life. Finances. The whole package. The girl who has it all. But is aspiring to be her actually THAT healthy or is it even low-key toxic? We're also talking about the parts of modern womanhood that NO ONE prepared us for... and how we're coming to define being a...

Is anyone else's energy just completely tapped lately? The world feels like it's burning and let's be real – it feels like we can't do much other than sit and watch. This episode, Hanli and Marissa chat about how in the wake of an international crisis, we're a lot more connected to one another than we think. Plus we're talking about the 'comparison trap' between who you are now and who you used to be, and which version of yourself you actually prefer. 

Happy V-Day! On this week's exclusive episode, Marissa and her very own sister, Caitlin Trew, talk all things online dating – from Hinge and Bumble to the notorious Tinder. They cover how to build a dating profile with the perfect ratio of thirst trap:wife material, and the weird, wonderful and downright awkward encounters they've had, both online and offline. Buckle up guys, this one’s a ride.

Emile Steenveld is an emotional intelligence coach and motivational speaker. He also happens to be Hanli’s #1 boo-thang. In this special one-on-one episode, Hanli and Emile break down the highs and lows of the two years they've been together. Long distancing during a global pandemic, temptation, trust, jealousy and everything else that comes with matters of the heart. It's raw, it's real, it's romantic. 

Happy new year guys! We know, we know. It's been a long time but thank you for being patient with us. So much has happened and we just needed a moment to live it, process it, reflect on it... you know the drill. This episode, we're going straight in. Marissa shares her struggles with grief over the recent loss of her grandmother and losing the battle to that toxic little voice inside of her head. We also cover triggering family dynamics, changing relationships with your parents, and how we're...

We've realised that this podcast is basically our audio journal, so get ready for another diary entry. Marissa reflects on turning the big 3-0 and the mantras she's created for the next decade. Hanli addresses the indignity of overnight pads and invents a way to make it a more... 'enriching' experience. And, we put our 'JSWC big sister' pants on for one of our beloved fans looking for a little relationship advice.  We've said it before and we'll say it again, guys. We LOVE when you write in...

Did you miss us? We missed you and boy do we have so much stuff to catch up on. Marissa talks about how a concussion ironically knocked some sense into her. Hanli shares how travelling with her parents turned her into her teenage self. Plus, we cover body appreciation (and shaming), finding the audacity to wear that daring outfit we know you have hanging in your closet... and one of life's biggest questions – should you ever get back with your ex? As always, send in your thoughts, stories and...

Sorry this episode is late guys, but we'll be honest. Last week straight up sucked, so we took an extra minute over the weekend to just deal. Why did it suck? Well we're glad you asked. Consider this episode a little audio journal into the inner workings of each our lives. Hanli opens up about her anxieties of dealing with the rocky side of LDRs, like what happens when you have a fight. Marissa shares an awful experience of feeling bullied in her own home and how that brought other deeper...

You know the story... life gets heavy, you yearn for a change, so you pick up your whole life, move across the world and start all over again. At least that's what we tell ourselves we'll do... but let's be real, most of us never end up actually going through with it. Well, this guy did. This week, we speak to Prashant Ashoka (@prashant.ashoka) – a Singaporean photographer and writer who built a new life in Mexico, by building a stunning house in the middle of the San Miguel desert – Casa...

On this week's solo episode, Hanli and Marissa talk about those weird little money saving habits our parents instilled in us... you know the ones. "There's food at home." "Don't buy it, make it yourself." "Take the bus!" We go through which of their frugal methods worked, and which ones backfired. What we splurge on now we've earned a little cashish of our own. Figuring out our personal relationships with money... like, when will we feel like we have 'enough'?

Can you believe it guys? The end of SEASON 3 of this cute little podcast. We'll be back in a couple of months with SO much more up our sleeves that we can't wait to share. But until then, we're signing off with this little solo episode where we get up to our usual nonsense. We're talking LDR reunions (Hanli's man is finally in town), cutting onions and emotional breakdowns, learning how to twerk, and how we just CANNOT wait to pop bottles in the klerb when the world finally reopens. Plus a...

Lets be real ... How many of us buy different vitamins and supplements off iHerb that we eventually forget to take? Put your hand up if you can't even remember what each pill is for.
