Kylie Minogue, AI Anxiety & the Demise of the Girl Boss

About this episode

The episode discusses Kylie Minogue's documentary, AI anxiety, and the decline of girl boss culture.

Grab your gold hot pants because ‘Kylie’ - the deeply personal Netflix documentary about Kylie Minogue - is up for discussion in this episode of Have You Frozen Your Eggs Yet? Kelly and Louise discuss why Kylie’s honesty around relationships, fertility, loneliness, friendships and the expectations placed on women resonated so deeply with them. Also on the podcast, Louise has finally started training for her cross-country race in September, although the Scottish summer midge invasion is threatening to derail proceedings. Plus, Kelly and Louise unpack the growing backlash against AI after online criticism of Reese Witherspoon and Mel Robbins for promoting women to get on board. They discuss the pressure to embrace AI while also wrestling with the ethical and moral concerns surrounding it. The debate leads into a wider conversation about the rise — and apparent fall — of “girl boss” culture. Are women finally rejecting hustle culture and impossible expectations? And are Gen Z approaching work and ambition in a healthier way? Expect thoughtful conversation, strong opinions, cultural commentary and plenty of questions about the expectations placed on women today. 🎧 Subscribe…
