🎙️ Tearing everything down, one sensible conversation at a time. Hosted by Natalie Blundell and Elle Kamihira.
What activities qualify as work, and which tasks do not? In latest episode Endless Work, Natalie and Elle examine how we divide labor, how we award it or take it for granted - and what sex has got to do with it.
Yes, this👇In our latest episode Endless Work, we talk about all the ways women get sidelined and ground down in their professions, in spite of all the equality measures.
I speak to many women in my research & my personal life who were sidelined, not taken seriously, bullied, or oh-so-subtly pushed out of their employment after maternity leave. This is despite equality legislation that protects women, & countless equality initiatives at firm level
Shout out to all the hardworking CEOs that sacrifice so much for their families as the "breadwinners." Especially when they have really challenging business trips. Tune into Ep.10 'Endless Work' to hear our take on the Coldplay Kiss Cam moment & more. #andybyron #ColdplayBoston
Is being a SAHM the luxury & privilege its made out to be? In our latest episode Endless Work, we unpack the mirage of the stay-at-home-mom life, the man-as-breadwinner myth, the working mother double bind, the many reasons women exit the paid workforce & much more. Link in bio.
New episode 🔥 As we continue to tear it all down as the mythbusters that we are! #podcasting #domesticlabor #WomenInInnovation chatinthecommons.com/endless-work-1…
Mommunes aren't new, but they're on the rise. As the great divorce is in full force, women realize they don't need to go it alone when raising their kids when there's lots of other #SingleMoms out there to share the workload and combine resources. #mommune #cohousing #singlemum
We're told to respect & revere successful men like #AndyByron. He likely told his wife that he was on a biz trip to Boston: meetings followed by dinner with his investors. Then this nuc - pulling back the veil on what women already know. We're told that its not all men. Really?

Even the men assigned to protect us, perpetrate violence and control on us. It’s not #violenceagainstwomen it is #mensviolence
Warning: the content of the news report is awful. If this isn’t a scandal I don’t know what is. If any other group of people were ‘let down’ in the way women are by police it would be a national scandal where there would be significant repercussions news.sky.com/story/woman-ha…
When we break free from chains that are thousands of years old, we awaken to a more beautiful world we didn't know was possible. Women are collectively sighing a big release...for our mothers, our grandmothers, and for so many generations before them. There's no going back now.
Have you tapped out from dating and relationships? What a joy it is to just worry about and take care of yourself instead of a man child. #decentermen #singlebychoice
More and more women are opting out of not just marriage, but of relationships with men altogether - choosing new paths to economic independence, professional & personal fulfillment, & adventure - that does not include a man as part of the plan. #singlelife chatinthecommons.com/going-solo-9/
As 0nlyF@ns becomes normalized where men pay to access women's attention & bodies, this spills over into the dating world - in how men view women, treat women and what they expect from women. Welcome to a cornified world. #OnlyFans @ExodusCry @LailaMickelwait @RedLightExpose
Elle + Nat have been in the Pacific Northwest at the @WomensLibFront RadFem camp, interviewing campers. We can’t wait to share with you what’s on women’s minds and what brought them here. Ep 10 coming out in July. ⛺️

Dating apps gaslight women into believing they’ll find their person, because they need women on their platform to lure men into paying for subscriptions. It has nothing to do with finding love. #dating #datingapps #tinder #hinge #bumble #dating40plus #dating50plus @FemaleDating
A chat about dating. We take a read on what is happening in dating culture to try to understand why a growing number of women are saying no to dating. Ep. 8 Finding The One #4Bmovement #DatingAdvice #DatingGame #DatingTips
Whilst the male leaders of the world play their ego war games, remember Mary Robinson’s words. #Iran #WWWIII #Congress #WorldWar @CWWLeaders @projdandelion @TheElders
All around the world, women have to evaluate their safety risk when rejecting a man. We know the inherent dangers once a man’s rage is triggered. Listen now Ep 7 - Be a Good Girl #rejection #femicide #SanaYousaf #TaisBrunadeCasta #ValeriaMarquez #SaraCampanella #GaalaAdenAbdi
Great news from England. Take note America. #abortionrights #abortionuk #mybodymychoice theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Who 'war' it best? Two birthday parades on the same day, hailing the Commander-in-Chief. Are you starting to notice the similarities? A matriarchal society can't come fast enough... #BirthdayParade #trump #nokings #taxpayermoney #WhiteHouse #NoKingsInAmerica #NoKingsDay
As women are moving into formerly male-controlled spaces, lets remember the enormous acts of liberation, rebellion and insistence on our full participation, that it's taken - battles both external and internal. We talk about this and much more in new episode "Be A Good Girl".
