Welcome 👋🏼

We’re Jo and Natasha, and this is the first ever episode of "Life’s a SHITSHOW." If you’re looking for polite, polished, PR-friendly chat, you’re in the wrong place. We’re here for brutal honesty, big questions, and saying the shit most people are too scared to say out loud.

If you catch us looking down, don’t panic - we’re not googling, just making sure we don’t forget the important stuff. We’re paper girls at heart and this conversation matters.

Episode Summary 📝

A few weeks back, we talked about doing something together, a podcast, a project, whatever. We said we’d think on it and come back to it. Then Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and honestly, it hit us like we’d lost a family member. That was it: we woke up and said, “We’re ready to speak, and we’re ready to listen.” We all need to be Charlie now.

We’re not money-driven, we’re purpose-driven. We’ve always had this fire for justice, and seeing what happened to Charlie, someone shot for having an opinion - was the final straw. We’ve spent years biting our tongues, but fuck it, we can’t do that anymore. We need to talk, and more importantly, we need to listen.

This isn’t about politics, it’s about being human. We’re mums, we’re grandparents, we’re people who give a shit about the world our kids are growing up in. We’re sick of the bullshit, the fake outrage, the endless division. It’s time for honest conversation - even if it’s uncomfortable.

Key Takeaways 💡

🔥 Brutal honesty is our starting point.
We’re not here to please everyone. We’re here to say what needs saying - even if it pisses people off.

👂 Listening matters as much as speaking.
Real listening means wanting to learn, not just waiting for your turn to talk. We’ve all been guilty of arguing for the sake of it, but it’s time to do better.

😡 Fear, ego, and emotional control are why we’re so divided.
People are scared, wound up, and desperate to be right. The media stirs shit up, and we all end up shouting instead of thinking. We’re calling it out.

🤷‍♀️ No one gets to go through life without being offended.
We can’t keep silencing people just because we don’t agree. Debate is healthy- violence is not.

👶 We owe the next generation better.
We want our kids and grandkids to be brave, to speak up, and to listen - even when it’s hard. That starts with us.
