A Guide To Sex On Your Period
When you're on your period, is sex off the table for you? Or are you extra horny? There should be no stigma around period sex, but it can be daunting. So, Lucy has put together a bunch of tips to make that time of the month extra pleasurable, as well as clear up some misconceptions.

Ex-Boyfriends & Discriminatory Beauty Salons
This week we thought Lucy hijacked our confessions form (which you can submit to here ). But it turns out the fear of running into your ex is so much more common than we thought. And, a worthy and necessary tone shift: Em shares a story about famous Australian-Indian actor Pallavi Sharda's recent upsetting experience after being told by a hair removal salon that she had too much hair on her face and that the women working at the salon felt uncomfortable working on her. Em gives us tips on how you can be an ally and help people of colour feel accepted in Australia... The End Bits Need extra support right now? Call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.

Can I Date My Bestie's Brother?
Emily has brought her own Dating Dilemma to this episode of The Undone, after she matched with a friend's brother on a dating app. She wants to know, is it ever ok to date your bestie's brother, or is it asking for trouble? Also, these days it's pretty standard procedure to split the bill after the first date. But considering that the wage gap in Australia still exists, and the cost that goes into going on a date if you're a woman- is that actually fair?

The Post-Lockdown Dating Trend All Your Mates Will Complain About
How do you feel about dating post-lockdown? Most of us are excited to date, but also want to just spend time with our friends, and have also forgotten how to date properly and don't know what we want out of it. In other words, we're confused. Em has discovered a new dating trend she thinks sums up these feelings. Plus, we need to discuss the dating PR campaign. It's when you tell your friends you're breaking up up with your partner, only to get back together, so you have to sell their good traits back to your friends. We're sorry to tell you, it never works. And Lucy tells a story for Dating Diary about meeting a guy in real life she matched with on tinder she was sure was a bot, and awkwardness ensued.

How To Know If You're Settling
When Lucy posted a confession about someone 'settling' in their relationship on Instagram, she got tons of messages from people who related. We thought we'd unpack the concept of settling in a relationship, and in life. Lucy and Em also discuss the exclusion of diverse shades of foundation in Australia, and for Dating Diary Lucy describes the one night stand that changed her standards forever.

Did You Know You Can Give Yourself A Pap Smear?
Welcome to The Undone! A podcast for people navigating their 20's without a GPS. Last week Emily revealed she had never got a pap smear, even though she'd just turned 25, so we decided to get a real doctor in to bust some myths. Dr Ginni Mansberg is a GP with a passion for women's health, and you won't believe the what we learn from her. Also, we discuss Naomi Osaka's brave decision to forgo post match interviews for her own mental health, and Lucy tells a truly horrendous Dating Diary story that ends with the advice, "don't drive your booty call home".

When Everything Gives You 'The Ick'
Last week on The Undone we discussed being 'cheugy', and we think we've found the male equivalent: 'the ick'. It's the feeling you get when a guy does something that makes you less attracted to him, and we have a few (ok, many) examples. We are also joined by host of The Spill Laura Brodnik to chat about the highs and lows, but mostly highs, of being a woman who lives alone. Plus, Em opens up about the loneliness she often feels on her birthday and why everyone should take themselves away for a birthday alone at some point. The End Bits You can read Laura's articles “Every person who lives alone has the same embarrassing fear.” and "I heard a strange scratching at my door": The unspoken fear some women feel living alone.

The Red Flags You’re Probably Missing
Are you on the 'edge of burnout'? Lucy feels like she is and has bought an old alarm clock to try and beat it. Plus, we have a listener dilemma about the pros and cons of moving out with friends, and we discuss red flags; the ones we can laugh at and the ones that are more insidious.
