How Reading the Room and Empathy Can Make You a Powerful Woman in Any Room

Most women in corporate get told to "play nice" or "tone it down." Judith Murdoch flipped the script—sharing her raw journey from corporate chaos to carving out her own success, all while navigating the often-unspoken hurdles women face in male-dominated industries. Spoiler: It’s about resilience, authentic confidence, and quite a bit of hustle. Judith’s story of being made redundant and turning what felt like a kick in the teeth into her own business is pure gold. She breaks down how a quick pivot, a dash of self-doubt, and a website built for a deal saved her from the abyss. You’ll discover: the secret to turning redundancy into a launchpad, why money is your ultimate safety net, and how surrounding yourself with inspiring, even ordinary, people turbocharges your journey. We break down: the importance of having a safety net when starting out, the power of confidence and storytelling at work, and how to read social cues to avoid disaster. Judith shares eye-opening stories of workplace absurdites—like the bra-mandate mishap that left her tears, and the subtle ways women are underestimated or dismissed. Her insights into how emotional intelligence and strategic self-awareness can transform your career and personal life? Here’s why this matters: hiding your voice or shrinking yourself isn’t just uncomfortable—it's costly. Whether you’re thinking about freelancing, climbing the corporate ladder, or just want to feel more in control of your destiny, Judith's advice delivers practical steps with a side of humor and heart. It’s about doing your own thing, daring to be seen, and rewriting what success means for you.

The Surprising Truth About Women’s Bodies Men Never Talk About

Most women don’t talk openly about the weird, funny, awkward, and deeply human parts of womanhood, so obviously, we did. In this episode of Squirrel, we dive into unfiltered girl chat that breaks taboos and normalizes the stuff we’re all quietly experiencing but rarely saying out loud. From unexpected hair growth and body shame, to aging, intimacy, and the pressure to “hold it together”, this is the kind of conversation that feels like a deep exhale. We talk about periods showing up unannounced, bodies embarrassing us in traffic and in bed, the illusion of beauty sold by Hollywood and porn, and how cultural expectations shape the way women see themselves, whether you’re South African, Italian, American, or somewhere in between. There’s laughter, honesty, and zero pretending. We also get into aging with grace (and humor), learning to accept our bodies as they change, and yes… even how to normalize pooping in front of your partner without dying of shame. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they needed to hide their reality to be “desirable,” “put together,” or “enough.” Because the truth is, being a woman is messy, funny, powerful, and deeply normal. If you’re craving real talk, soft validation, and the comfort of knowing “same, babe”, this one’s for you 🐿️✨ Email us!
