Oversubscribed Podcast

This week, we have a special announcement.  Alana and Laura xo  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Laura is digging up more gems from the archives and this time she is keen to chat about confidence after 40 and imposter syndrome.  We both imagined that by the age of 41 we would have all the confidence of Donald Trump but sadly for us, this hasn’t happened. So why do so many women of our age still struggle with a lack of confidence or ‘imposter syndrome’? Where did it all begin? We share our experiences and chat to former architect, life and business coach Ruby Marsh, about how to get over ourselves and defeat our insecurities.

Listen to find out. In this episode, we’re talking about the concept of ‘living your best life’. We want to know whether we really need to live our best lives or if a mediocre one is perfectly fine. We’re also debating whether the pressure to live our best lives is really just causing us anxiety in the pretty good lives we may already have.  Links: How Taffy Brodesser-Akner Thrives on Stress What Does “Live Your Best Life” Actually Mean? $229 an hour to find your best self Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and please don’t forget to rate and review our show!HOSTS: Alana Nixon and Laura Jackel Follow us for more and please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you: Getoversubscribed.com Oversubscribed Instagram Oversubscribed Facebook See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a busy week for Laura and Alana what with kids, jobs, and the Easter holidays starting today! Instead of their usual off the cuff chat, let's delve back into an episode from 2019 for an issue that is still relevant today, in fact now more than ever! ‘A woman’s work is never done’ – we’ve all heard that saying haven’t we? And while we recognise the paid and unpaid work women do, this episode is all about women and paid work. Alana rewinds the clock to 1998 to share some dubious career advice she received as a young female student. Laura discusses an article she wrote for Mamamia on the not-so-creative way some families divide up the cost of childcare. We also discuss why work is not always just about the money, although that certainly helps and we give a cheeky shout-out to all the ‘working dads’ out there too. We chat to our podcast producer and all-round dynamo Mel Sargeant of the NHM-GOT IT FROM MY MUMMA podcast.
