Molly: Psycho Goat Survivor, Trendsetter and Crying Over Jam

Lamb Sandwich Blackouts, Climate Grief and Sleep Schedules

One of us had to apologise for being aggressively helpful The other one’s baby brain fully clocked off mid-meeting… and came back 15 minutes later with a lamb sandwich and zero awareness we were still on the call. One of us went back to her favourite beach and got hit with climate grief that made it all too real We had a side quest into electrifying your house, green loans, and why “carbon footprint” might’ve been a corporate PR trap. We also had a moment about how nobody prepares you for the relationship whiplash after having a baby. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go. — CHAPTER MARKERS: 00:00 Sisterly Apology 00:37 Sleep Schedule Debate 03:25 Baby Brain Moments 05:25 Airport Security Chaos 09:55 Climate Grief Hits Home 15:03 Electrify Your Home 16:53 Hopeful Climate Wins 18:38 Mamdani Wins Early 22:20 Communicating Like A Pro 23:18 Scone Gate Returns 25:26 Money Mindset Origins 28:39 Motherhood And Relationships 32:39 What's Gotta Go ------ Supported by Solutions for Climate Australia LINKS Climate Anxiety Resource [https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/CC_MVSA0421-CC-Conversation-Guide-Climate-Anxiety_V3.pdf] Energy Loan Scheme [https://www.energy.gov.au/rebate-type/loan] Beach Erosion Story [https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-03/gold-coast-no-stranger-to-beach-erosion/101381812] Gold Coast Extreme Erosion [https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=GCWEB_WRE170_a_FBK&dest=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.goldcoastbulletin.com.au%2Fnews%2Fcouncil%2Fartificial-headland-the-preferred-option-to-fix-gold-coasts-extreme-erosion-risk%2Fnews-story%2Fe76b5fd0ae1d9648006f4910b0bc45ed&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium] Mamdani - Fixing the Potholes [https://www.washingtonpost.com/ripple/2026/04/09/zohran-mamdani-new-york-politics-inequality/] Mamdani - Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/reels/DYQ9t97kvij/] New York Child Care Costs [https://tootris.com/edu/blog/parents/the-cost-of-child-care-in-new-york-a-breakdown-for-2021/] Join us: Instagram: @gotta.go.pod TikTok: @gotta.go.pod Facebook: TBC!

Trad Wife Confusion, Budget Week Whinge and Michael Jackson Ick

One of us was today years old when she realised the Michelin Guide was actually invented by the tyre company The other one casually interviewed a world leader and was jealous of their choice in shoes. We got budgety for a minute and agreed housing is cooked, everyone’s whinging, and no one actually wants to be a politician. One of us felt a bit weird about the new Michael Jackson film… because “experience his magic” is a bold tagline when we’re all aware of the allegations. We somehow ended up in a very Australian spiral involving kangaroos under the house, dolphins that are not your spirit animal, and the great tea/scone order debate. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go. — CHAPTER MARKERS: 00:00 Introduction 01:15 Interviewing Helen Clark 04:43 Australian Budget Week Explained 06:41 Women Focused Budget Wins 07:46 Housing Market Reality Check 13:36 Tax Gas And EV Gaps 16:26 Michael Jackson Movie Debate 22:46 Flipper Set Horror 24:18 Period Shame to Pride 26:25 Living With Endometriosis 28:47 Tea Making Rules 30:51 The Best Way To Eat Scones 31:43 Pod Mail Craft Night 35:09 Postpartum Body Image 37:37 Comfort Over Heels 38:19 Signing Off to Feed Baby ------ Supported by Solutions for Climate Australia LINKS Budget: https://budget.gov.au/ [https://budget.gov.au/] Unwind Co: https://www.unwindco.com.au/ [https://www.unwindco.com.au/] Join us: Instagram: @gotta.go.pod TikTok: @gotta.go.pod Facebook: TBC!

Briony: Circus Tiger Rescue, Stage Four Plot Twist and Finding The Joy

Briony is the main event on the podcast this week and the joy is apparent. But because life loves a plot twist, there are also some truly awful bits. From growing up in a vet practice where her Dad was basically a superhero (including rescuing a literal Bengal tiger at 2am). To over-annunciating her words wherever possible, because proper diction is important. She landed her dream job and produced viral videos clocking millions of views for a living (what a flex). Then Briony got the worst news imaginable and had to endure a cancer diagnosis that no one was prepared for. Spoiler alert, she survives. But the “after” hits hard too: chronic fatigue that feels like it will never lift. Until she finds a life-altering process that sounds too good to be true and somehow gives her life (and joy) back. There’s more here than we can tell you in a few sentences, so press play because we’ve Gotta Go. — CHAPTER MARKERS: 00:00 Introduction 03:18 Snake in the Car 04:37 Circus Tiger Callout 07:52 Gap Year and Uni Pivot 08:59 Climate Stories on Film 10:45 Sydney Work Burnout 12:16 Domestic Violence Doc 15:51 Mamamia Breakthrough 19:10 Symptoms and Diagnosis 22:21 Stage Four Diagnosis 22:57 Denial And Next Steps 28:25 Remission And New Perspective 31:15 Chronic Fatigue After Cancer 34:54 Lightning Process Breakthrough 38:08 Meeting Byron And Love 40:43 Purpose Climate And Gratitude ------ Supported by Solutions for Climate Australia LINKS Gap Year: https://youtu.be/eKFjWR7X5dU?si=DulKlJzciUxRgsP9 [https://youtu.be/eKFjWR7X5dU?si=DulKlJzciUxRgsP9] Briony’s Video Reel: https://brionybenjamin.com/videos/ [https://brionybenjamin.com/videos/] Big Bad Love - Documentary Heels No Heels If A Man Lived Like A Woman For A Day Sexiest Man In The World The Lightning Process: https://lightningprocess.com/ [https://lightningprocess.com/] Dr Phil Parker: https://www.youtube.com/@DrPhilParker [https://www.youtube.com/@DrPhilParker] Briony’s Book Life is Tough But So Are You: https://brionybenjamin.com/book/ [https://brionybenjamin.com/book/] Leukamia Foundation: https://www.leukaemia.org.au/ [https://www.leukaemia.org.au/] Join us: Instagram: @gotta.go.pod TikTok: @gotta.go.pod Facebook: TBC!

Molly: Psycho Goat Survivor, Trendsetter and Crying Over Jam

It’s all about Molly this week and frankly, it’s about time. This will probably be Molly’s favourite episode. A couple of teasers for you: Molly was hopeless with a refedex and outsourced her navigation needs. She’s been planning outfits and setting trends since she was 18 months old and is still waiting for her Hollywood breakthrough. She had dreams of being an adorable goat owner, but her reality was a psycho goat who tried to kill her daily. Her entrepreneurial spirit started young with a travelling massage parlour and Game Boy upsells (weird combo, but her market lapped it up). It was a great time taking a trip down memory lane, but now we’ve Gotta Go. — CHAPTER MARKERS: 00:00 Meet Molly Benjamin 00:49 Growing Up A Twin 01:48 Kid Personality Style 03:21 Pet Goat Chaos 04:35 Life In Vet Practice 05:57 Pulled From School Travel 07:23 Early Hustles Game Boy 08:47 Gap Year Scotland Uni 09:49 Treehouse Show Era 12:01 Cutting Off Bad Debt 12:21 Bank Job Reality Check 12:50 London Move And Goals 13:46 Money Gap Wake Up Call 15:10 Supermarket Rock Bottom 16:01 Starting A Money Club 17:55 Building Wealth For Real 18:51 Startup Stress And Anxiety 20:21 Sisterhood Through Hard Times 22:06 Crashing Dates And Wingwoman ------ Supported by Solutions for Climate Australia Join us: Instagram: @gotta.go.pod TikTok: @gotta.go.pod Facebook: TBC!

Single Sisters Betrayal, Home Battery Flexing and Press Stud Rage

One of us had a sudden, humbling realisation this week… and it involved babies, friendship, and a very overdue apology. The other one had a few thoughts about what new parents actually need from you (hint: it’s not another tiny outfit with 400 press stud buttons). One of us is still grieving a certain era we were meant to have… which was rudely sabotaged by the other. Briony pointed out that Aussies will renounce their stance on renewables if there are rebates up for grabs. Molly appreciated the ego boost when AI thought she was Reese Witherspoon. We time-travelled back to our trip to China, where we nearly got trafficked or cast in a powdered milk ad…the details are still unclear. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.
