One of us is suddenly a hardcore football fan
The other one shared a genius, completely cringe-free corporate hack to score a pay rise using nothing but a calendar alert and a Google Doc.
We donât know why Australian houses are built like literal leaky iceboxes.
We also reminisced about the highly chaotic fortnight where two separate family cars spontaneously burst into flames.
One of us is officially calling time on her multi-year breastfeeding journey, while the other is packing her bags for some highly intriguing "medical tourism" in Bangkok.
We covered a lot of ground this week, but now weâve Gotta Go.

First off, we give a big old shout-out to our Mum, who we didnât fully appreciate until we had kids of our own.
One of us went to an energy healer in Sydney to help with postpartum anxiety.
Thereâs also a really eerie story about a Ouija board which is guaranteed to give you goosebumps.
One of us discovered the art of micro-feminism with hilarious results.
We realised that our love for AI has catastrophic consequences for the climate and weâre not sure what the solution is.
We also laughed about a black-tie filtering strategy for single girls, a legendary family costume-party disaster involving full-body Lycra and the joys of fairy porn.
We covered a lot of ground this week, but now weâve Gotta Go.

One of us binge-watched the Kylie doc âfor researchâ.
Weâve realised teenagers are now casually doing things that make our entire adolescence look like a long nap.
One of us got styling advice that instantly explained every chaotic wardrobe purchase weâve ever made.
We got budgety again, and yes, the gas rant returned (with fresh rage).
We also started rethinking what we share about our kids online, and it got dark quickly.
We tried not to gag over a new viral hack that shouldnât exist.
We covered a lot of ground this week, but now weâve Gotta Go.

One of us had to apologise for being aggressively helpful
The other oneâs baby brain fully clocked off mid-meeting⊠and came back 15 minutes later with a lamb sandwich and zero awareness we were still on the call.
One of us went back to her favourite beach and got hit with climate grief that made it all too real
We had a side quest into electrifying your house, green loans, and why âcarbon footprintâ mightâve been a corporate PR trap.
We also had a moment about how nobody prepares you for the relationship whiplash after having a baby.
We covered a lot of ground this week, but now weâve Gotta Go.

One of us was today years old when she realised the Michelin Guide was actually invented by the tyre company
The other one casually interviewed a world leader and was jealous of their choice in shoes.
We got budgety for a minute and agreed housing is cooked, everyoneâs whinging, and no one actually wants to be a politician.
One of us felt a bit weird about the new Michael Jackson film⊠because âexperience his magicâ is a bold tagline when weâre all aware of the allegations.
We somehow ended up in a very Australian spiral involving kangaroos under the house, dolphins that are not your spirit animal, and the great tea/scone order debate.
We covered a lot of ground this week, but now weâve Gotta Go.

Briony is the main event on the podcast this week and the joy is apparent.
But because life loves a plot twist, there are also some truly awful bits.
From growing up in a vet practice where her Dad was basically a superhero (including rescuing a literal Bengal tiger at 2am).
To over-annunciating her words wherever possible, because proper diction is important.
She landed her dream job and produced viral videos clocking millions of views for a living (what a flex).
Then Briony got the worst news imaginable and had to endure a cancer diagnosis that no one was prepared for.
Spoiler alert, she survives.
But the âafterâ hits hard too: chronic fatigue that feels like it will never lift.
Until she finds a life-altering process that sounds too good to be true and somehow gives her life (and joy) back.
Thereâs more here than we can tell you in a few sentences, so press play because weâve Gotta Go.

Itâs all about Molly this week and frankly, itâs about time.
This will probably be Mollyâs favourite episode.
A couple of teasers for you:
Molly was hopeless with a refedex and outsourced her navigation needs.
Sheâs been planning outfits and setting trends since she was 18 months old and is still waiting for her Hollywood breakthrough.
She had dreams of being an adorable goat owner, but her reality was a psycho goat who tried to kill her daily.
Her entrepreneurial spirit started young with a travelling massage parlour and Game Boy upsells (weird combo, but her market lapped it up).
It was a great time taking a trip down memory lane, but now weâve Gotta Go.

One of us had a sudden, humbling realisation this week⊠and it involved babies, friendship, and a very overdue apology.
The other one had a few thoughts about what new parents actually need from you (hint: itâs not another tiny outfit with 400 press stud buttons).
One of us is still grieving a certain era we were meant to have⊠which was rudely sabotaged by the other.
Briony pointed out that Aussies will renounce their stance on renewables if there are rebates up for grabs.
Molly appreciated the ego boost when AI thought she was Reese Witherspoon.
We time-travelled back to our trip to China, where we nearly got trafficked or cast in a powdered milk adâŠthe details are still unclear.
We covered a lot of ground this week, but now weâve Gotta Go.

One of us turned 40 this week⊠and had big feelings about what a privilege it is.
The other one is still in newborn land, where time isnât real, and sleep is a rumour.
Molly is campaigning for drive-through everything, because getting eggs shouldnât require a full logistical plan.
We shared a celebrity encounter from the archives that still makes us cringe-laugh, and Briony used an accent Molly will never let her forget.
Briony proved that, even though sheâs terrible at accents, she has a lot of useful information about the current state of the world and why we shouldnât be cooking with gas.
Briony also had a bit of a sex education lesson, but not in the way youâd expect.
Molly wants millions of men castratedâŠwell, not really. But itâs pretty bleak.
As always, it was a fun time but not a long time catching up.
And now weâve Gotta Go!

One of us discovered that a cute outfit can genuinely improve your mood (science says yes, and so do strangers who suddenly start complimenting you in the supermarket).
The other one has started carrying watercolours everywhere and whipping them out at random intervals.
One of us did an outrageously extra newborn photoshoot. Shout out to Anne Geddes (IYKYK)
Scheduling joy is saving us from the monotonous existence that is parenting young children.
Weâve got a list of good news stories to cleanse your doom-scrolling soul. Pandas are involved.
One of us goes on a warranted and passionate rant about beer drinkers and why theyâre paying more tax than the gas industry.
We both casually fixed childcare in about five minutes. Youâre welcome.
Thereâs also a Mexican food hack that will change your life (weâre talking structural integrity AND crunch).
Loads happening this week, but now weâve Gotta Go! See you next week.

One of us had a close encounter with a very hunky celebrity this week.
The other one had a close encounter with a tiny reptile.
One of us got the short end of that stick.
A few other things happened, which we absolutely had to discuss:
Briony started a small social media fire accidentally offending true blue Aussie blokes.
Molly yelled at reckless youths on bikes (as is her civic duty).
Briony is quite partial to a good olâ fashion scam and is eager to give all her money away to Australian Post, or perhaps a Nigerian Prince.
Molly gave some (not financial advice) about the stock market and how to manage your money in a time where funds might be tighter than usual. Ahem, thanks President Trump.
We both realised that weâre Boomers trapped in Millenial bodies (not that thereâs anything wrong with that).
And we both ate the most delicious chicken burrito thanks to Chat GPT.
As sisters with three babies between us, we never have enough time to catch up, but weâre pretty pleased with the ground we covered today.
Gotta Go now, see you next week!
