Things You Didn't Learn In School

A practical, life-skills podcast from Mamamia hosted by comedian Bec Melrose and Emily Vernem, tackling the "adulting" lessons school never taught. Blending comedic banter with genuinely useful guidance, episodes cover money and career navigation (payrises, side hustles, taxes), health and body literacy (periods, wellness myths), and everyday sustainability hacks, often featuring expert guests like career coaches, doctors, and environmental advocates. The tone is relatable, irreverent, and empowering, aimed primarily at young women and millennials/Gen Z navigating early adulthood who want straightforward, jargon-free advice on finances, wellbeing, and modern living. As part of the broader Mamamia podcast network, it also cross-promotes companion shows like "Well" and "BIZ," reinforcing its niche as a hub for practical self-improvement content wrapped in a light, humorous, girlfriend-to-girlfriend style.
