Horton Hangout Podcast

S2 Ep 2 Released 21st November 2025

Laura and Leanna are back for Episode 2 of The Horton Hangout — and it’s packed with laughs, honesty, and their signature segments: The Banned Word, The Confession, and The Horton Hangout Question!

As summer wraps up, the pair talk candidly about surviving the long school holidays, juggling work-from-home chaos, and the reality of balancing business with family life.

This week’s Banned Word will make every dental professional stop and think — why the word “injection” has no place in the surgery chair!
Then, in The Horton Hangout Question, they tackle a tough listener dilemma about inappropriate comments from a colleague — and share supportive, empowering advice for anyone facing similar behaviour in practice.

It’s real, relatable, and full of humour — classic Horton energy from start to finish.

S2 Ep 1
Released 7th November 2025

Welcome back to the new season of the podcast, where Leanna & Laura spill the truth, share the laughs, and break down the realities of midlife, business, and everything in between! This premiere kicks off with two fan-favourite segments — Banned Words and Confessions — before diving deep into a brutally honest chat about menopause, hormones, and health. Laura opens up about her journey through fatigue, brain fog, and HRT — including a hilarious “crab walk” phase involving hormone gel — while Leanna reflects on leadership, energy, and learning to prioritise well-being without guilt. They also tackle a listener’s question about team resistance — offering smart, practical, and heartfelt advice for clinic and business owners navigating communication, money transparency, and what real leadership looks like. It’s funny, raw, and full of the warmth and honesty that make this duo so relatable.

S1 Ep 10
Released August 2025

In this end-of-season episode, Laura and Leanna dive into the danger of pretending to be premium. They unpack what happens when practices or businesses talk a five-star game but fall short on substance — and how that erodes patient trust faster than you can say “paper cone cup”. 

Leanna shares a deeply personal story about hair loss, emotional vulnerability and a clinic that tried to take advantage — emotionally and financially. It’s a powerful reminder that the best service comes from empathy, not just a fancy reception. 

There’s also a dental nurse prank in Confession Corner that could only have happened in the good old days, and a brilliant Hangout Question on managing persistently rude patients. Plus, this week’s banned word is short but deadly — and we’ve got a better one to use instead.
