Transcribe →The Ginja Hustle
2w ago00:23:49Tap to summarizeIf you work in the creative industry or the freelance world, grab a matcha latte and sit down. This week, Jason and I are pulling back the curtain on the absolute circus of chasing what you’re actually worth.We’re breaking down the ultimate "Dos and Don’ts" of setting your rates, and exposing the oldest client trick in the book: the classic "we just don't have the budget" sob story. Funny how that budget magically evaporates even when the economy is flying high, innit?We’re also calling out the people ruining the ecosystem by doing high-value work for absolute pennies. It’s hard out here, but undercutting everyone else just makes it worse for the rest of us. It’s time to grow a backbone and start charging properly.We’re heading straight back into the alleyway for this week’s Ginja Combat Zone and we need your ammunition.

Transcribe →How To Grow Your Own G-ninja
3w ago00:24:47Tap to summarizeIf you want to know how Grace Lam claps back this one is for you. Apparently, the "sweet primary school" era has a much shorter shelf life than it used to. One minute you’re dealing with lost lunchboxes, and the next, the social dynamics have shifted into a low-budget teen drama—about three years ahead of schedule.In this episode, Jason and I discuss the "Year 7 Pivot." We’re not pointing fingers, but let’s just say the parenting bar in the wild is currently sitting on the floor or even in the basement. Apparently Y7 is all about hanging with the 'cool kids' but may I remind you all that those so called 'cool kids' in high school are definitely not cool anymore....jus sayin. Grace shares some good quotes from renowned child psychologists -Gabor Mate and Dr Becky Kennedy.Don't forget to send in your dilemmas and problems via Instagram so we can give you our useless advice.

Transcribe →I Eat Confrontation For Breakfast
4w ago00:19:32Tap to summarizeWhy are we all so terrified of a little chat? In this episode, we’re diving into the awkward, sweaty-palmed world of confrontation.Most people would rather move to a different country than tell a friend they owe them money or tell a colleague their "reply all" habit is bloody annoying. We explore why everyone has become so sensitive and why "refusing to talk things out" is actually just a slow-motion car crash for your relationships.Don't forget to send in your dilemmas and problems via Instagram so we can give you our useless advice.

Transcribe →Fight or Flight - Chinatown Brain VS Monk Brain
Apr 2800:21:53Tap to summarizeEpisode 4: What happens when your nervous system is pushed to the absolute limit? In this episode of Don't Make Me Call Her, things get real—and a little terrifying. Jason and I are opening up about a high-stress incident involving an intruder trying to break into our home and how our bodies instinctively took over.We’re breaking down the "Fight or Flight" response, but through two very different lenses. You’ll hear how Jason’s "Monk Trained Brain" (calm, collected, almost eerie) collided with my 0 to 100 "Chinatown Brain" (fast, loud, and ready for war). It’s a study in survival, temperament, and why we react the way we do when the stakes are high.In this episode, we explore:The Intruder Incident: The minute-by-minute breakdown of what happened and how we survived it.Brain vs. Brain: Why Jason’s zen approach and my "Ginja Ninja" instinct are both a blessing and a curse.Post-Stress Processing: How to come down from the adrenaline dump without taking it out on each other.Ginja Combat Zone: This week’s dilemma is a classic. We’re tackling a common couple’s problem that almost everyone has faced—tune in to hear our take (and probably a bit of a debate).Whether you're a "Monk" or a "Chinatown" thinker, this episode is about finding balance in the chaos.New episodes drop every Wednesday.

Apr 2100:19:50Tap to summarizeEver said "Yes" to something while your soul was screaming "No"? We’ve all been there—that sinking feeling in your stomach the moment the words leave your mouth, followed by a week of self-loathing.In this episode of Don't Make Me Call Her, we’re getting comfortable with the most powerful two-letter word in the language. You’d think that with age and experience, saying no would become a reflex, but even I found myself backed into a corner recently. I’m sharing a personal story of a time I wasn't quick enough to react, the "self-hating" moment that followed, and how we can all avoid that trap moving forward.What we’re unpacking this week:The "Yes" Trap: Why we feel pressured to agree to situations we actually hate.The Human Element: Admitting that even the "Ginja Ninja Master" gets caught off guard sometimes.The Toolkit: Practical, useful excuses and strategies to help you decline with grace (or just firm boundaries).Ginja Combat Zone: As your non-professional, ill-equipped agony aunt, I’m diving into a listener dilemma involving a very complicated threesome relationship... I’m saying no more!Stop living for others and start protecting your energy. Tune in to find out how to master the art of the decline.Available now on Spotify.

Apr 700:22:24Tap to summarizeAfter an 11-month 'sabbatical' spent wrestling with the endless life admin of moving from Perth to Melbourne, Grace and Jason are finally back behind the mic.In this season opener, Grace addresses the baffling rumour that she should become a life coach.
