From the relentless news cycle to workplace biases and the ever-commercialised Valentine’s Day, this episode of Loose Suits is packed with sharp insights, unfiltered opinions, and plenty of laughter.

Heather Melville, I. Stephanie Boyce, and Janie Frampton return to break down the week’s biggest stories - challenging outdated norms, debating leadership failures, and even questioning why airlines still can’t get seating right.

• The ongoing crisis in Gaza and Ukraine - why political leaders are failing to act as peacemakers.
• Toxic politics in the UK: Have we lost all sense of respect and integrity in leadership?

🎙️ Rant of the Week: Airline Seating Drama

• Should larger passengers be required to buy two seats?
• How airlines manipulate pricing and why economy seats are shrinking.

🎙️ Professional Dilemma: “You’re Too Much”

• Being told you’re “too loud,” “too confident,” or “too much” - why this feedback is often gendered.
• The workplace bias that forces women to tone down their personalities and style.
• Should we still be policing how people dress in professional settings?

🎙️ Counsellor’s Corner: Valentine’s Day in the Workplace

• Is Valentine’s Day just a commercial trap - or a chance to celebrate love in all forms?
• The pressure on men to buy gifts, and why some workplaces feel exclusionary on February 14th.
• The importance of self-love and making space for those who might feel left out.
