The Purple Circle - a very unique West Aussie way of describing the exclusive inner circle, the inner sanctum, when the boy's club joins forces with the mean girls, sprinkle in a few former school bullies, and voila, you have the makings of a group that will bring your career to a screeching halt.

In this week's episode, Deany and Simon explore the origins of this term and the industries and organisations it has infiltrated, plus how to spot if your workplace has one and just what to do about it.

We also have this week's Anonymous Confession and Simon discusses his new solo podcast venture.

Important Note: We discussed some topics and touched on themes that may upset some people. These concerned mental health and well-being, so please remember to reach out if you need help:
