In recognition of her extraordinary contributions, Michelle was inducted into the Victorian Museum of Women and honoured with a coveted spot in the 2023 Victorian Honour Roll of Women as a Change Agent. In today's episode, Michelle and Nelly GET AMONGST IT: her two young marriages as a "Mid-West Gentleman" and then later, dating as a trans woman. We talk about some shitful experiences on the dating apps and, some good ones (spoiler alert: she found her sweetpea there). Nelly and Michelle take a call on how to talk to kids after divorce (TW: family violence is mentioned) and ultimately, how to keep the focus on the kiddos. Michelle has multiple "ten... but" dealbreakers and some spicy stuff from ex's. A terrific episode with a thoughtful and fascinating woman.

Chris Ryan is back for Sloppy Seconds and thinks we're kidding ourselves about ENM! Comedian Chris Ryan joined us a while ago to share her terrible heartbreak after a long-distance relationship ended. She's back with a lovely update on that front and, some firm opinions on our listener questions. A caller asks if she MUST use the apps to date (spoiler alert: no) and a letter-writer seemingly asks for permission to go ENM even though her husband said no. Chris has some firm views on that. Chris asks Nelly an in-depth question and, talks to us about how she thinks we're too quick to dispose of relationships these days. As always, a forthright and funny episode with a feisty broad.

Nato Green: I cock-blocked myself! Nato Green is a US comic and union organiser and Nelly is a huge fan of his. Nelly and Nato discuss his 20+ year marriage, how he thought he was unlovable and was super nervous about expressing vulnerability, how he wanted to date but just couldn't work out how until he was in his 20's and, how he had lots of platonic friendships with women that perhaps could have turned romantic. Nelly and Nato take two amazing listener calls - one on navigating your first Christmas as a single mum and another on how to talk to your kids about mental load.

Hey molls, Producer Fahey here. We are devastated by the news of the passing of darling Cal Wilson. Nelly's ride or die. A podcast favourite and the woman who single handedly kept the Glue Gun industry afloat. Nelly always referred to Cal as her Strawberry Friend. Someone you put a star next to in your contacts list, the person you could 100% rely on, call at any hour, the one you know would always be there. We can't believe she is gone. Our love to her beautiful boy and husband in their unimaginable grief. Thank you for living us all, Cal. We sure loved you too.

Sloppy Seconds with Wes Snelling Wes and I talk about Dry July and how giving up booze for a month radically changed Wes’s anxiety, mood and physical health. Wes asks me about sexual identity and we have a really open and interesting discussion about the stereotypes around bisexuality, sexual fluidity and all the things that come with that. We do some ripper memes and take a couple of gorgeous listener calls on online dating profiles. We take a listener letter on unsolicited dick pics and what the hell is up with that and we end on a discussion about what a massive buzzkill claustrophobic relationships are. Wes, as always, is open, honest and curious. His voice alone is to die for and he brings his beautiful heart and big brain to the chat. SYDNEY SHOW: OCTOBER 7TH!

SLOPPY SECONDS WITH PRODUCER FAHEY! We talk about blending families: How do you tell the kids you’re dating, how do you introduce them to new partners and kids and, when do you introduce them? And break-ups. But of a different kind: how do you break up with friends ? Those partings are just as necessary and can be more frequent than romantic ones, but we don’t have a script for it. We talk trauma bonding: what it is and how to spot it. And then we take a wonderful listener call on coming (pun intended) into your own in middle age – a 40 something mum who has started dating and discovered she’s a squirter. Having the best sex of her life - on a pile of towels. A beautiful and hilarious episode with my bestie and the producer of this podcast, Fabulous Fahey.

WELCOME TO KINK AND OTHER STUFF Today we’re joined by bone fide civilian and horn-bag Son Guzzardi. Son shares some awful teen experiences at Catholic school, their early long-term relationship with an older man and then a joyful exploration – and perhaps late adolescence – as a queer person. Son is now married with kids and we talk about how that squares with being – in their words – a ho. Son talks about finding the kink scene and how empowering that was. We also take some listener calls on non-monogamy, poly and related issues. Finally, we end with a fight about bisexuality and we witness the evolution of The Son from biphobia to open-minded acceptance and also, from their previous codependent ways to valuing autonomy and space. Son is warm, open, funny and very generous in sharing about mistakes they’ve made and how they’ve changed. I absolutely loved this chat and I reckon you will too.

In a Dear Nelly Special I am joined by TWO guests to talk about a different kind of love - the love of friends. Wade and Harley are LOOSE UNITS and this episode is filled with laughter and dick jokes. We get into the importance of friends, different types of love, mental health and fresh vaj (that will make sense). We take a great (but frightening) listener call about online dating, and we finish up with "stupid shit" an ex-friend has done and "he's a ten but..." - AKA friendship dealbreakers. We talk about "THE ONE": maybe there's more "than one" or, your "one" is a best mate. Food for thought.

THERE IS NO "WE" IN "ME" Today we’re back for another Sloppy Seconds with the one and only Genevieve Morris. Gen asks me how I see my long-term relationship now that I’m a couple of years out of it. We talk about the healing power of cashiers, why we love Freddie Mercury and we take a brilliant listener letter on dating a widower and how to handle the feelings that come with the presence of “another woman” still in the house. We take some calls on "Thruppy Thirds" and celebrating single mums. Lastly, Gen rails against that couple thing of ‘we think’ or ‘he reckons’ or 'she said' – be your own person, molls. Enjoy!

SPECIAL LIVE RECORDING WITH REUBEN KAYE! Today we have an exciting episode – a recording of the sold-out Live Show I did recently with comedy, camp, cabaret superstar Reuben Kaye! This episode is unlike others. It was recorded in front of a live audience, with a man under the age of 40 and it totally went off the rails. It was a special for IDAHOBIT day – the international day against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. And it’s bloody fabulous! Reuben and I talk about his early dating days, his experiences at school as a boy ahead of his time (that bit will make you cry). We talked some of his sexual preferences, his sexcapades and he poked at fun at me, whilst I laughed at him. (I told him off once or twice too). Reuben is just wonderful. He was hilarious – side-splittingly so – but also raw and vulnerable. I am pretty sure he went places he doesn’t usually go in interviews and man; we were the beneficiaries. A trigger warning: it’s probably the best part of the episode but we do get into intergenerational trauma and there’s some discussion of suicide. And Bonus – writer, creator and singer of the Dear Nelly theme song, Casey Bennetto sings the theme song live. ENJOY!

SLOPPY SECONDS WITH EMMA RACE Today we have the one and only Emma Race back. Emma and I talk the joys of perimenopause. We turn the tables and Emma gets to ask me a question – she asks what it’s like to be a newly single parent and if I miss those shared parenting moments. (Spoiler alert: yes and no). We talk about how you know when it’s’ time to leave a long-term relationship and, what it’s like to be a strong woman who wants her hand held. We take some awesome listener calls on how to ask for what you want in the bedroom and another one on vaginal atrophy – and before you laugh, yes it’s a real thing. As with all sloppy seconds we end with Emma’s thoughts on the biggest dating or relationships mistake she sees. Emma is a wise old chook - you get to love her insights all over again. LIVE SHOW!!!

SLOPPY SECONDS WITH JO STANLEY Today we have our second return co-host - the one and only Jo Stanley. Jo joined us for episode 10 on 23rd March and talked us through her late start to dating, her early(ish) marriage and making it work through the trials and tribulations of life, love, alcohol, date nights and kids. In this episode Jo asks me about how to support friends through divorce and separation. We take some awesome listener calls on what to do if your partner gets jealous when you exercise (that one floored us both) and Mari calls back to tell us how’s she’s going post-chemo. As always Jo is thoughtful, kind and hilarious – there’s a reason I asked her back. We recorded this ep on zoom but don’t worry, I upped the wifi and it sounds good. Jo’s husband interrupts the recording and that goes really well :) REMINDER: WE'RE DOING ANOTHER LIVE SHOW!!!

SLOPPY SECONDS WITH SCOTT BRENNAN Today we have a special episode. It’s our first return co-host - the one and only Scott Brennan. Scotty Brennan joined us on 23rd Feb and talked us through his journey of recovering from being cheated on by a long term partner. Because we’ve already covered that story in his first ep, today Nelly gives Scotty the chance to turn the tables and ask HER the questions. He chose to ask Nelly about her online dating journey, her first date and what it was like to get dumped. There's some awesome listener calls on what to do if you’ve had the best sex of your life and think you’ll never find it again, another on buying a house with your ex and a beautiful call from a woman who made the brave decision to end her marriage and is now grappling with the disappointment and shame of living a more frugal, share-house life. (Spoiler alert: Nelly and Scott both reckon she’s doing great.) And lastly they take a listener letter on feeling guilt when you break up with someone. That one’s a doozy.

Welcome to Episode 15 of Dear Nelly with co-host Psychiatrist, Author and Broadcaster Dr Steve Ellen. Steve and I met when I was working on ABC radio and I instantly adored him – he’s open, honest, humble and vulnerable in a way that many professionals at that level seem to struggle to be. Steve was married young, has one child and was divorced in middle age. He took time to recover and then started dating on the apps in his late 40s. And bloody loved it. For the most part. He’s now late 50’s and in a relationship with an woman he met on the apps and I have to say, they have the MOST FASCINATING first date story you will ever hear. Steve is bright, open, funny and a nice mix of earnest and slightly jaded – right in my wheelhouse. Not too long ago he was the true unicorn of the online dating world: a single straight man with a job. Listen and learn.

Today we are joined by Cath Davis. Unlike many of my guests, Cath is not in showbiz. She’s a proper bone fide civilian with a normal job. Cath is a professional middle aged woman with a background in policy, unionism and education. She’s long-term single, has a bunch of mates, loves her family and career and is not interested in a relationship unless it value-adds. Bravo to her. Cath and I talk about being in your 40s and long-term single and what that’s like. We have a particularly moving exchange about how it feels to “not give” your parents grandkids. We talk about loving your own space and how you can learn from unsatisfying/inadequate/bad relationships in your twenties that you deserve more and, that you can build a happy life on your own. I also honour how great it is to have mates like Cath who have the energy, willingness and time to help out with - and enjoy - everyone else's offspring. Yes she's THAT FRIEND. We also take some great listener calls on celebrating single life and also, a pretty niche but relevant call on whether the word “misogynist” is over-used which, in turn, prompts a chat about the co-opting of terms like gaslighting and other dating terminology – are they overused (I reckon they might be)?

Welcome to the Pilot Episode of Dear Nelly with co-host Producer Fahey Younger! We thought you might need a little something before we officially launch next week so here's a taster of things to come. We talk about how Fahey recovered from her first marriage and what it was like getting married again when she least expected it. We take a fabulous listener call on desire going cold in long-term relationships, discuss "flap-pics" and whether “til death do us part” is a good idea. We talk about what to do if one of your kids is love-drunk and potentially making stupid decisions. We get into the dumbest thing an ex of Fahey’s has ever done and what her dating dealbreakers are. The sound is a tiny bit shit (the proper eps will be recorded in studio) and when we launch we'll have the theme song and other bells and whistles, but this chat was such fun! Enjoy.

In this hilarious and heartfelt new podcast, comedian Nelly Thomas and guests offer sex, relationship and dating advice from the other side of 40. Turning 40 is something faced with dread by some, but Nelly has a different take - this is when you really come into your own. And being divorced and 40 can be even better! She and her guest co-hosts will help you navigate the highs and lows of break-us, dating, singledom, relationships, sex, unsolicited pics and everything else in-between. Brought to you by Nelly Thomas - the co-creator and co-host of the smash hit podcast The Single Life of Us .
