Episode 1 Teaser, Rachel and Suzanne are back!

Have you ever thought about why a “friend” stopped replying? Maybe you never heard back from a prospective employer? In this premier episode, Rachel and Suzanne take on the growing phenomenon of Ghosting. They listen to three callers who’ve been ghosted or have ghosted themselves and break it down in real-time. Rachel and Suzanne will dispel some sticky myths and tell you what to do when this happens.

Why is it that when women display their vulnerabilities and downplay their strengths, they are “relatable” and “brave,” but when they proudly embody their power and skills they are alienated? In this little shorty of an episode, Rachel and Suzanne discuss power, self-confidence, and nude photo shoots.

You don’t always know exactly when the time is right to make a big move - when to leave a job, when to change careers, when to have kids. No one is going to tell you whether or when to make those decisions in your life. But Rachel and Suzanne sure have a lot of experience doing it for themselves, and in this episode they’ll give you a few guidelines to follow to help along the way. Heads up - sometimes betting on yourself means you end up recording an entire podcast with a wet tile saw in the background.

Five years ago (!!), Rachel and Suzanne did an episode all about their (not so secret) inner selves - the person who comes out during moments of pressure or stress; their inner hulk. Everybody has one - and you likely know exactly who yours is. In this updated version of that episode, they dive back in to help you understand what to actually do when your hulk comes out.

If you’re leading a team or running a company, how and when to communicate on issues can be the most crucial and difficult decision you make. Whether you’re taking a stand on a cultural issue, or delivering a piece of difficult news, it can sometimes feel like entering a minefield. But don’t worry, Rachel and Suzanne have set off plenty of mines before and they’ve got strategy for days.
