The worst part of getting promoted isn't the workload—it's the sudden, awkward silence in the team chat. 😬 One day you're a mate, the next you're... The Boss. Going from colleague to manager of your former teammates is one of the quickest ways to trigger a workplace identity crisis. Suddenly, no one gossips with you anymore, and you're wrestling with how to set expectations without turning into a micromanager overnight. It's truly a bloody awkward transition. On this episode of Biz, Lisa and Em tackle this painful reality. They share the exact "Reset Conversation" you need to have with your new team and why letting people do "B Plus Work" is actually the secret to leading effectively. Your value isn't doing the job anymore - it's helping others do it well. 🌟 Stop stressing about the shift. This is the non-cringey playbook for making it work.

That presentation you're dreading? That meeting you can't stop replaying? Stop overthinking it. This is the genuinely helpful advice you need. 👇 We talk a lot on Mamamia Out Loud about how to handle the inevitable stress that comes with showing up at work, but this week, Holly stumbled across a four-step mantra that's a total game-changer for women under pressure. It’s simple: Show up. Pay attention. Speak from the heart. And have NO expectations. It's the ultimate hack for keeping yourself calm and focused.

The most powerful legacy isn't always professional. Sometimes, it’s just the truth. 💔 Unknown Number director Skye Borgman shared a deeply human reason why Kendra might have said 'yes' to the film: to leave something behind for her daughter, Lauren. A clear, unvarnished story that only a mother can give. In a world that constantly tells women who they should be, this moment is a reminder of who we are when the cameras stop rolling. We are driven by impact, whether that's in the office or at home.

Relationships are hard. And when they get really hard, many Australians don't know where to turn. Did you know 1 in 5 Australians report skipping mental health care because of cost? Adding to this alarming trend, Mamamia's 2025 State of Women Survey revealed a seismic shift in women's happiness in their relationships. 💔 That's why we are SO proud to launch This Is Why We Fight, hosted by the highly qualified and experienced Clinical Psychotherapist Sarah Bays. This Is Why We Fight is Australia’s first and only therapy-based podcast that unpacks the core relationships in women’s lives today. Mamamia producers worked in close collaboration with Sarah to design a framework that offers our audience the unique opportunity to listen to authentic therapy sessions from across the country. 🛋️ In a truly purpose-led initiative, this podcast promises anonymity to those brave enough to share, and help for those that need an audio-first experience that delivers. Real People. Real couples. Real Therapy. 🤍 You'll want to be listening to the show that everyone will be talking about.

Your clients want independent media. Is your strategy ready for the cost? The "fake news" crisis has been a strange kind of gift for independent media, driving audiences to support organisations like Mamamia and The Guardian. But let's talk business: Is this wave of audience support a sustainable business strategy? Or is it a temporary fix fuelled by chaos? 🤔 That’s the commercial reality our CEO, Natalie Harvey, is tackling TOMORROW at SXSW Sydney. She’ll be sharing how Mamamia is navigating the critical question of making reader loyalty translate into a long-term revenue model. This isn't just about media ethics; it's about the financial future of trusted publishers. Catch Nat’s insights at the 'READER RETURNS' panel Tomorrow, October 17th, at 1pm. SXSW Sydney #SXSWSydney

A burnt-out mum crying because her kid asked for a banana doesn’t need 'The 10 Best Beaches in Bali.' She needs 'Escapes That Actually Let You Switch Off.' The problem isn’t a lack of content. The problem is content organised by place and meal, instead of mood and need. She’s not living her life by geography or cuisine. She’s living it by her need state. Introducing: Retreat by Mamamia 🌴 Retreat addresses the why, not just the where. It’s a content ecosystem built to help her plan those holidays she actually wants to take. AI can plan your trip. Mamamia can tell you if it’s worth it. Retreat by Mamamia: coming soon 👀 #RetreatxMamamia #ConsumerInsights #ContentMarketing #BrandPartnerships #AudienceEngagement #Womeninmedia #Travel

Did you know the reason your team is running on empty might have nothing to do with their to-do list? 🤯 Maybe it has more to do with hormones, energy, and metabolism. Yesterday, we hosted the truly brilliant Clinical Nutritionist, Lani Finau, for an eye-opening workshop with the Mamamia team. Lani is the expert you need when performance matters. She didn't give us generic advice; she delivered the science-backed, specific knowledge required to help women sustain high-impact careers and beat chronic fatigue. Our team was left with actionable takeaways including fantastic guides to iron-rich foods and a super-helpful portion model. Thank you, Lani, for equipping our team with the tools to be our best, boldest selves! #hormones #metabolism #energy #nutritionist #mamamia
