Lost In Cyberia
BONUS EP March Madness, Awards and Burnout Realness (We’re Tired)
March nearly broke us, but it also kind of made us. In this episode, Annie-Mei and Anika unpack a chaotic month full of firsts: our first podcast guests (shoutout to Harry from Phronesis and Hortense from Volkis 💜), first guest spot on another podcast (AISA Cyber Voices, with David!), and Anika’s first-ever conference presentation (spoiler: improv background came in handy 🎭).
We chat about:
- CyberCon chaos 🧠
- Presenting at Volkis Day in Sydney (Chinese firewalls and Aussie cybercrime ft. pig butchering scams 🐷💔)
- Annie-Mei winning a Cyber Security Award and calling out a toxic ex-boss in her acceptance speech (iconic 🔥)
- Burnout, “The Devil Wears Prada” vibes, and the search for meaning
- Wanting to touch grass (or dive with sharks 🦈)
- Glittery suits, dead fashion brands, and the emotional damage of retail closures
