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.

Laura is digging up more gems from the Oversubscribed archives, this time she wants to talk about how pandemic life has changed how we view 'living our best lives' Do we care less now than we did in 2019? 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.

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.

We’re not afraid to talk about the elephant in the room. So we’re dissecting the very public Will-Jada-Chris debacle. Was Chris out of line? Was Will just protecting Jada? We also discuss a local case of domestic violence that’s garnered national attention where nobody was able to protect the young victim.

Alana and Laura are talking about the toll of the depressing news cycle on our mental health and how we can stay well, while also sharing their thoughts on this year’s International Women’s Day, or ‘feminst Christmas’ as it’s known by some. We shine a light on some companies and initiatives that are actually making positive change for women and not just paying lip service to advancing gender equality.

Here in NSW, restrictions have eased and kids recently headed back to school - and then some of them came home. We wonder, is this new school attendance hokey-pokey the ‘new normal’? Laura gives an update on how school parents in the UK have been managing it. And we dive into Carrie’s wardrobe all over again.

You only have to switch on the news for five minutes to realise that there are a lot of things making women angry right now. From abortion rights being erased in the US, to rising rates of domestic violence and inequality thanks to COVID. Not only is there a lot to make us angry - there is also an expectation we won’t express our anger as no one likes a ‘hysterical woman’. We interview The Daily Aus journalist Billi FitzSimons for her views on women's anger and why we have to express it.

Thank you to our special guest, journalist Billi FitzSimons. Follow her on Instagram or Twitter.

The term ‘cancel culture’ is frequently bandied around by the media - but do we even know what it means? We discuss its origins, whether or not it can be a force for good, or if it’s just online mob mentality. We ask pop culture podcasting sisters Amy and Sophie Taeuber of Outspoken for their views and whether they think cancel culture is here to stay.

Thank you to our special guests Amy and Sophie Taeuber of the Outspoken podcast. Listen to Outspoken here or follow along on Instagram

Half the country is living with some COVID restrictions and in regional NSW we’re getting used to masks again. How are we still in the same situation almost 18 months on? And if you’re a Millennial and you called your GP, would they actually know who you were? 

Alana is pleased to say Jen and Ben are a real item - it wasn’t just a one night thing! We wonder how the other Jen must be feeling when she has to see her ex get back with his ex. 

We also discuss ‘sperm retrieval’ and the narrow window of time needed for a successful conception.

Welcome to our 100th episode - woo hoo! 

We’re talking about all the revelations from Britney’s day in court and why she’s found it so hard to speak the truth. We also take a look at those who’ve come out in support of her. Barnaby, the boy from the bush, is back and we’re not happy. Seriously, Australia is the best we have for a Deputy PM? We also vent our anger over the claim levelled at women who supposedly ‘outsource parenting’.

Weddings cost a bomb, are historically all about ‘ownership’ of women and the average Aussie marriage lasts just 12 years. So, why do we get married? And why are young women in the post #metoo era still signing up to spend thousands on this old fashioned institution? Alana and Laura chat about all this, as well as why they chose to get married and whether or not marriage is simply bad for women. Our guest this week is the Sydney-based ‘happily divorced’ writer and mum, Nama Winston.

We all know the phrase, ‘things come in waves’ right? But what about when things come like tidal waves or tsunamis? We feel we are on the brink of massive changes for women. It started early this year in Australia with Grace, followed by Brittany, then Chanel and then the dams broke. The Australian Government is on the ropes now scrambling to appear ‘friendly to women’. How long will it last, what more can we push for and will things ever change? 

Thanks to our special guest Zoe Drew.

How many times have you laughed at or shared a meme about needing wine or gin to cope with the kids? We certainly have (and occasionally still do) and while we don’t believe in mum shaming of any sort, we look at ‘mummy wine culture’, why the pandemic had us all drinking more and the rise of the ‘sober curious’ movement. We chat to Shanna Whan, recovered alcoholic and founder of ‘Sober in the Country’, a charity set up to help change the dialogue around rural Aussie drinking culture.

We know many women across the world are p*ssed off at the moment about the injustices and discrimination we still face. We take a look at some of the headlines and discuss why a consent app is one of the worst ideas designed to protect us.

The ‘bombshell’ interview of the decade is what we’re talking about. Alana is fascinated by the varied reactions from around the world to what Harry and Meghan said and didn’t say. Laura sheds some light on how the Brits view the royal family. And is the Queen’s, ‘never complain; never explain’ ethos really relevant in 2021?

Another big news week which included surely THE biggest interview of all time.

Instead we discuss the wider tabloid fallout including Piers Morgan’s on-air tantrum and Kim Kardashian’s take down of nasty magazine cover stories from when she was pregnant. We also discuss the Australian March for Justice happening on Monday and that six Dr Seuss books are being removed from shelves around the world due to racist content.

The media loves superlatives but none more so than the term ‘unprecedented’. But we think the use of this word is quite justified when you consider everything that’s happened in 2020! Can we ever get back to just plain old ‘precedented times’ when more things occurred within the usual parameters we have come to expect? 

Season 5 of Oversubscribed is brought to you by Breast Cancer Trials. 

Thank you to Amy and Laura of Secret Book Stuff.

You might have heard of the gender pay gap, but what about the pink tax? In this episode we talk about how it literally costs more to be a woman; from paying more for razors and shower gel, to the time and effort it takes us to look ‘professional’ versus our male colleagues. We discuss how the double standards are even worse for female politicians and we talk to Newcastle’s Lord Mayor, Nuatali Nelmes about how she feels about all this.

We’ve probably all been on the receiving end of a ‘Cheer up’ or ‘Don’t worry; be happy’ comment at some point. But recently we’ve found ourselves drowning on social media in a sea of #blessed #loveandlight and #goodvibesonly. When does this peppy form of optimism get a bit too much and can we ever just say, ‘this sucks’ without being accused of acting like a Debbie Downer?

We interview Dr Kate Gregorevic, a physician, writer and healthy ageing advocate for her thoughts on how toxic positivity can sometimes be harmful.

In the midst of a global pandemic, it is easy to forget that lives are still being forever changed by breast cancer. In Australia alone, 55 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every day.

This season we are working with Breast Cancer Trials to spread the word about the amazing work they do in the research field to improve the lives of cancer patients and their families.

For this special episode recorded during breast cancer awareness month, we talk to breast cancer survivor Rebecca Matthews about what it was like to go through treatment while pregnant. We also talk to oncologist and clinical researcher Dr Nick Zdenkowski about an exciting world-first trial for women with the BRCA-1 gene mutation.

We all know women live longer but what about the unnerving history of female ‘hysteria’ and the fact that women have not always been listened to when it comes to pain. We chat about this as well other female health issues such as periods and tampon tax, pregnancy and our choices around birthing. We speak to founder of Brave Mumma, Stephanie Thompson who suffered a traumatic birth and believes the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to childbirth is no longer good enough.

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.
