In this episode, Jules sits down with Kate Reeves, co-founder and co-host of the wildly successful podcast We Don't Have Time For This. Alongside her best friend of more than thirty years, Gemma Peanut, Kate has built one of Australia's most loved podcast communities, turning honest conversations about modern womanhood into sold-out live shows and a thriving business. But behind the laughs is a woman who has navigated real and significant change, including divorce, co-parenting, and rebuilding her life in ways she never expected.

Jules and Kate go deep on what it really takes to keep showing up when life does not go to plan. They talk about the vulnerability hangover that comes from sharing your life publicly. Kate opens up honestly about her divorce, the word she made peace with, and the enormous decision to step outside the lines of the life everyone expected her to live. She shares what co-parenting has taught her, the things our children pick up whether we like it or not, and the hope she carries for the kind of relationships they will one day build.

There is a beautiful theme running through this conversation about getting quiet in a noisy world, why silence has become the new luxury, and how life speaks to us first in whispers and then in shouts until we finally listen. Kate and Jules also explore the magic of building something with a best friend, the cruelty women can show one another online, why no woman is confident as a baseline, and the single most powerful feeling of all, which is not simply being seen but being truly known.

Wise, warm, hilarious and deeply moving, this is a conversation about reinvention, friendship, and giving yourself permission to change.
