Not Without My Sister

39 – I'm Not Bossy, I'm the Boss

What are we like to work with – as team leaders, or as team players? We chat workplace culture, taking – and giving – orders, why Rosemary has been blocked on social media by 85% of Ireland's male DJs and more!


You can follow Rosemary on Instagram @rosemarymaccabe; Beatrice is @beatricemaccabe and you’ll find us both on the podcast Instagram @notwithoutmysister. Our Facebook page is here! For show notes, sporadic blog posts and assorted random things associated with the podcast, check out our website, notwithoutmysis.com. Want to get in touch? Email us on notwithoutmysis@gmail.com.

  • 190. Big Feelings, Little Fingers

    43:16||Ep. 190
    A clip has surfaced from a recent Chappell Roan concert where the singer had a little moment on stage, tearfully explaining to concertgoers that she was feeling overwhelmed by life recently – and asking their forgiveness if the show wasn't up to scratch. So we're asking, have we got to a point where public displays of emotion like this are expected, welcomed and lauded? Is there a performative aspect to crying in public? And is it finally okay, in 2024, to cry at work?If you're in the US and would like to pre-order Rosemary's book, you can do that right now on bookshop.org, Amazon.com or from Barnes & Noble.If you have questions, queries, comments, critiques, email them to us!
