Sisters, Molly and Briony Benjamin, try to sit down for a quick catch-up before one of them has Gotta Go. It’s a show for people who are juggling family, work, relationships, and the never-ending to-do list that lives rent-free in your brain. Maybe you’ve got kids at home, maybe they’re older, maybe you’re in that glorious in-between where you can finally drink a hot coffee… but you’re still the one who knows where everything is, when everything is, and why everyone is late. Alongside the laughs, there’s a quiet (but very real) thread running through everything we talk about: how to live a little lighter on the planet without turning your life into a constant guilt trip. We’re looking at practical, everyday choices. The kind that save you money, save you time, and just happen to be better for the environment too. No preaching. No perfection. Just “here’s what we’re trying, here’s what worked, and here’s what made the internet angry.” You’ll also pick up genuinely useful advice; money wins, life-admin systems, and simple habits that make the week feel less expensive and less chaotic. Mostly, you’ll leave entertained and weirdly motivated to do one small helpful thing: renegotiate a bill, cancel a rogue subscription, set up a system that shares the mental load, or make one change that’s good for your household and the climate. Come for the laughs, stay for the occasional rant and know that in not too long, one of us has Gotta Go deal with small children.

One of us had two child-free nights in a hotel and felt like a whole new woman. One of us found a karaoke booth in a Bangkok shopping centre literally named after her. One of us is defending "fairy porn" and says we need to stop feeling guilty about what women read. And we discovered the gas industry wants Australian taxpayers to fund a $4.9 billion pipeline.

One of us went to Bluey World with their kids and had even more fun than they expected. One of us is asking whether the devastating Nepal floods are the climate tipping point we've all been warned about. One of us discovered Dolly Parton wrote two of her biggest hits on the same day. And we found out scammers are cold-calling Australians to push dodgy self-managed super funds. Not great news. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we've Gotta Go!

This week, Briony and Molly sit down with author, serial entrepreneur, and all-round powerhouse Lisa Messenger. We started off with Lisa's jaw-dropping journey to motherhood. We’re talking 20 rounds of IVF, a miscarriage, failed adoption, donor eggs from Ukraine during a war, and a friend who offered to carry her baby. We also heard how Lisa turned the catastrophic Northern Rivers floods into a grassroots relief operation from a community hall at 10pm, and why she then went and did a Harvard course so she'd be ready for next time. Briony learned that Lisa's three-year-old is running his own chicken empire with 29 chooks and a savings goal, which is frankly better money management than most adults. We got into the death of hustle culture, how Lisa went from 36 staff to zero, and the one question she asks anyone who says they want to write a book or start a podcast. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we've Gotta Go.

One of us is living in the future in Bangkok, where birthday cakes come out of vending machines and robots serve your sushi. One of us dusted off the disco ball leotard, went to a costume party, and remembered she's actually quite fun. One of us is deep into "fairy porn" romance novels and got her husband hooked too. And one of us has a simple hack that could save you $1,200 on your energy bill. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we've Gotta Go!

One of us traded music festivals for writers' festivals and is calling it her new Coachella. One of us learned that Thai shopping centres are so good for parents, it’s tempting to move in.

One of us had a 30-minute date this week and is calling it revolutionary. One of us learned something about the female body at age 40 that she probably should have known decades ago. Turns out, we’re both pretty damn good at manifesting things, even though the concept is certainly flawed. And one of us will save you six figures on your mortgage with a phone call that takes five minutes. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we've Gotta Go!

One of us spent some time in a Thai hospital that felt more like a five-star resort. The other one is questioning whether "getting married" was ever actually a good deal for women. We both secretly want to move to a family compound and be surrounded by people to help raise children. One of us found an easy way to help the planet that takes zero extra time. And we're both a little jealous of women in confinement getting massages on tap after birth. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we've Gotta Go!

One of us joined live from Chiang Mai and did something to her body that most people would never think to do on holiday. The other one is obsessed with a song about a bird that's somehow taken over the entire country. One of us went to a mine site and learned a hard truth about money that has nothing to do with how much you earn. The other one was pleasantly surprised with Australia’s new favourite car choice. And we were both shocked by how much Aussies are losing to gambling every year. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go!

One of us came back from Bali bronzed and full of holiday glow. The other one is launching a new book and has all the excited feelings. We get into what a book deal actually pays, and perhaps why you shouldn't quit your day job for it. One of us relives the horror of writing a book while running a business, and the favour she had to call in to hit deadline. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we've Gotta Go.

One of us joined live from Bali and is now very exotic, living her best life The other one had a full “I’m sad about my super” moment…and it got uncomfortably relatable for many Aussies fast. One of us hired a night nurse… technically for the baby, but emotionally for the husband The other one discovered she’s now getting “free power”… except it’s only free if you jump through 47 hoops and sit on hold for hours of your life you’ll never get back. One of us went to an iron ore mine site, ate like she was on a cruise ship, and realised financial literacy is still missing in action no matter how many giant trucks you put in the room. The other one went on a Pauline Hanson spiral, got riled up about early childhood educators, and reminded us that parenting is work, even if some people in politics missed that memo.

This week, we’re doing a bit of a different episode as Briony sits down with author, inventor, and engineer Saul Griffith to break down the reality of the energy transition. We started off straight at the source to find out how the Australian government is leaving a jaw-dropping $56 billion a year on the table with gas exports. We went down a tech rabbit hole to find out if the moral panic surrounding AI data centers is actually just a giant marketing stunt to boost tech stock prices. Briony learned a brand-new reason to ditch gas appliances for good, and it turns out it's the ultimate argument for animal lovers. We also looked at the real economics of switching to an EV, why local tradies are the absolute superheroes of the future, and the political courage it's going to take to save us a cool trillion dollars.

First off, we give a major shout-out to our grandmas and discuss a beautiful photo trend that reminded us why we need to celebrate older women on a whole new level. One of us reflects on a hilarious, accidental "superhero" stance during a very real home robbery. There’s a wild story about a chaotic holiday excursion that involves getting strapped to a highly stressed ostrich. One of us is tracking an unprecedented political shift in Australia and the surprisingly low-quality AI images behind it. We realised that free daily power grids are on the way, but they require a total shift in our dishwashing habits. We covered a lot of ground this week, but now we’ve Gotta Go.

One of us is suddenly a hardcore football fan The other one shared a genius, completely cringe-free corporate hack to score a pay rise using nothing but a calendar alert and a Google Doc. We don’t know why Australian houses are built like literal leaky iceboxes. We also reminisced about the highly chaotic fortnight where two separate family cars spontaneously burst into flames. One of us is officially calling time on her multi-year breastfeeding journey, while the other is packing her bags for some highly intriguing "medical tourism" in Bangkok.

First off, we give a big old shout-out to our Mum, who we didn’t fully appreciate until we had kids of our own. One of us went to an energy healer in Sydney to help with postpartum anxiety. There’s also a really eerie story about a Ouija board which is guaranteed to give you goosebumps. One of us discovered the art of micro-feminism with hilarious results. We realised that our love for AI has catastrophic consequences for the climate and we’re not sure what the solution is. We also laughed about a black-tie filtering strategy for single girls, a legendary family costume-party disaster involving full-body Lycra and the joys of fairy porn.

One of us binge-watched the Kylie doc “for research”. We’ve realised teenagers are now casually doing things that make our entire adolescence look like a long nap. One of us got styling advice that instantly explained every chaotic wardrobe purchase we’ve ever made. We got budgety again, and yes, the gas rant returned (with fresh rage). We also started rethinking what we share about our kids online, and it got dark quickly. We tried not to gag over a new viral hack that shouldn’t exist.

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.

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.

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 Briony’s Video Reel: 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/ Dr Phil Parker: https://www.youtube.com/@DrPhilParker Briony’s Book Life is Tough But So Are You: https://brionybenjamin.com/book/ Leukamia Foundation: https://www.leukaemia.org.au/ Join us: Instagram: @gotta.go.pod TikTok: @gotta.go.pod Facebook: TBC!

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!

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.

Or even only reducing our own dependence through the introduction of electric vehicles and so on and so forth.” Briony’s Go To Pump Up Music for sad days https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1mhhfWQXeXjZR06nLxUCV6?si=deffdb62e1264cd5 Join us: Instagram: @gotta.go.pod TikTok: @gotta.go.pod
