Everything Feels Increasingly Political. Navigating Conversations With People Who Have Different Politics - Uncut with Zara Seidler
When it comes to politics, it can be particularly tricky to navigate political conversations with the people you love — especially when they sit on the opposite side of the fence. We have a very important federal election coming up on May 3 so we’re expecting these conversations to increase more and more in the next few weeks. Today we wanted to dive into how pop culture has become increasingly political, why the divide between left and right feels so extreme, and perhaps most importantly, how do we actually vote for what matters to us, beyond what’s trending on Instagram or TikTok? Today we’re joined by Zara Seidler — co-founder of The Daily Aus. The Daily Aus are particularly tapped into what young people are asking and what they care about in the political landscape. Zara has experience in the political world and also has a degree in political science. We cover: How politics has become embedded in pop culture Why there is a push towards independents What the upcoming election actually means for us Cost of living is the number 1 thing people care about now The issue with receiving political info from just one source Algorithms, outrage culture and how it’s impacted politics How to have conversations with people who have different politics Tools to help you find what you align with You can find the resources Zara shared here: Build a ballot Vote Compass You can find more from Zara at The Daily Aus Instagram And Zara's Instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Have Our Boundaries Destroyed Our Sense of Community?
Hey lifers! Did you grow up in a house where you could openly chat about things like s3x? We’re on opposite ends of the scale on this one! Britt has reverse manifested and ended up with a pretty grim case of food poisoning. We end up having a chat about how we each feel about manifesting and goal setting. If you have kids, do you experience ‘mum guilt’? Laura has a work commitment that means she can’t make something that is important to Marlie Mae. We speak about the expectations on parents these days when they’re also trying to juggle work. Fleurine Tideman recently wrote a substack titled 'Enough with the boundaries; losing my stepfather showed me the community we're sacrificed for our so called 'boundaries'. She told the story of her step father who was battling terminal cancer when she noticed how much the neighbours and friends stepped up without even being asked to. We spoke about our shift towards outsourcing everything so we don’t feel indebted to others and how we all seem to focus more on convenience. We asked: Do you think our inclination to set boundaries has removed our sense of community? Does the idea of someone dropping over unannounced feel warm or anxiety inducing? Do you know your neighbours? Do you agree that in order to have a village, you have to be a villager? You can read Fleurine’s substack here.

Ask Uncut - Do 'Instagram' Men Give You the Ick?
Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! Did you have a terrible haircut? Em Rata is rocking what she’s labelled as ‘the worst haircut in the world’. Laura repped the shaved undercut bob and Britt looked like a mix between Lego Man and Lord Farquaad. We have a follow up on how many of you are in long term relationships and are still making out without having it lead to anything more. Some of our team have homework. Vibes and Unsubscribes for the week: Britt: Number 1 On The Call Sheet Keeshia: DOAC - Masculinity Debate: Are Dating Apps Creating Incels?! Lonely Men Are More Dangerous Than Ever! Laura: Unsubscribing April Fool’s Day DATING GUYS WITH IG PRESENCE I’ve freshly started dating again but after being treated pretty poorly in my last relationship I am unfortunately a bit scared and always preemptively looking for reasons why a relationship won’t work out (before we even have a first date). One thing that I find really strange is men who have quite public profiles on social media * are very into creating content and curating photos. it’s weird because the traits I am attracted to (motivated, inspired, outgoing, active etc) tend to be the kind who post lots on social media so it feels like something I may need to get over. I wonder how Laura found navigating her relationship in the public eye at first and if she ever felt the ick from any of Matt's posts when they originally started dating? Does having an Instagram/Tiktok presence imply anything about someone that I should avoid? MY HUSBAND BOUGHT A D*LDO I've been with my husband for 3 years. A couple of years ago he opened up to me about enjoying prostate stimulation and told me he'd never told anyone or done it with a partner. He said he wasn't comfortable doing it with me at the time. A while later he told me he decided he was ready to try it. I was really happy that he felt comfortable and was really open to do anything that made sex even better for him. He said he'd like to go to a sex shop to get a toy but I didn’t push it. Last night when we were having sex, he suddenly brought out quite a large dildo (about 6 inches and a replica of a penis and balls). I was quite taken aback as there wasn't much warning but I was still okay for him to use it while we had sex. Afterwards, he told me he went by himself to buy it a couple of weeks ago because he felt more comfortable going to a sex shop without me and he was open about trying it out a couple of times by himself. There is a lot I'd like to ask him about; like why would he select a dildo that is quite phallic as opposed to an anal plug or plain dildo? But even asking him

The Morning Shed, Beauty Mishaps and Career Milestones
Britt’s peacocking has gone horribly wrong. She’s blaming the laser therapist. The laser therapist is blaming her… She’s going to be a unicorn at the wedding. She also might be banned from a different laser place for a different reason. Laura has reached a truly incredible career milestone with ToniMay. We are here cheering her on as *influencers, *business partners or friends.😂It’s been 15 years in the making and we’re all so proud and chuffed of their hard work. Plus your spiciest confessions are back! Again, we are galvanised by how cooked everyone else is. Are you on the ‘morning shed’ or the ‘5 hour morning routine’ algorithm? We speak about the standards that keep evolving for what we are ‘meant’ to be doing to prevent ageing and wake up ‘beautiful.’ The lines between beauty and wellness seem to be blurred and it’s a bit bat sh*t that they’ve run out of things to market to us when we’re awake so they’ve moved on to products to use when we are unconscious. Are morning routines a competition? Who are they really for?

Ask Uncut - I Saw My Husband On a Gay Dating App, Shoes Inside Debate and Maternity Leave
Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep and dark dilemmas. Today’s first dilemma is the type that a bodysuit and a bathroom visit brings you. If you know, you absolutely know. Keeshia went to a hens party with a certain type of male entertainment. There was almost full nudity, but the parts that remained covered were not the ones that you would expect them to be. Vibes for the week: Britt - Colleen Hoover Verity Laura - Yoto Player Keeshia - Maybelline Superstay Teddy Tint Lipstick Skinny Dip Then we jump into your questions! REFUSES TO GO DOWN OR KISS WITH TONGUE?! One of our best friends has gotten into a new relationship (about 6 months) and is head over heels for this guy! She’s never been happier, so she says….. She has always been the girl in long term relationships and her last long term boyfriend was toxic as hell and really ripped her friendships apart. Regardless of who she is with, she is VERY defensive of them, BUT once she breaks up with the boyfriend she admits everything. She recently told us on a girl‘s weekend that her new boyfriend has not and WILL NOT eat her out. He also will not kiss with tongue. When we questioned why, she said “he has super weird hygiene habits” yet he is obsessed with her feet. We asked if he would try and she said he flat out refuses! Our question is, is this normal? We get there are always certain things people do not like doing in the bedroom but the fact he flat out refuses to even try concerns us! In her previous relationships she was VERY kinky and loved her sex life, but now she makes concerning comments like “they only do it once a week, rarely” and she is always keen for him to leave for work so she can use her vibrators. Keep in mind she is only 25 with no responsibilities. HOUSEHOLD SHOES DEBATE Super contentious issue, but also ridiculous and first world problem between my husband and I. 4 years on and we still have heated arguments. He hates me walking inside with my work shoes on (I'm a teacher). Yet on every other day we are a barefoot family and walk outside for hours without shoes, then he will walk through the house no worries. Is this double standards? I think wearing barefoot then wal

Am I Settling? Am I Losing Myself? Relationship Anxiety - Uncut with Georgie Collinson
Have you ever been in a relationship where you asked “am I settling?” What about am I losing myself, what if I’m not good enough and is this type of relationship normal? Sometimes, particularly if you might be a bit of an anxious person already, it can be really hard to tell the difference between relationship anxiety and genuine red flags or signs that you might actually not be compatible. Today we have anxiety therapist, host of The Anxiety Reset Podcast and author Georgie Collinson joining us to speak about the work she’s done for her new book ‘Master your relationship anxiety.” Georgie’s previous book, The Anxiety Reset Method, reached international success when it was picked for Oprah’s Book Club in 2023 and was featured on Oprah Daily. We’re going to be speaking about why exactly are you feeling anxious in love, what anxiety is trying to tell you, the four types of relationship anxiety and how it may prevent us from being our best selves in relationships. We speak about: How relationship anxiety differs from generalised anxiety The difference between actual red flags and anxious tendencies Why we keep having the same relationship patterns and how to break them The 3 stages of love: base love, chaotic love and expansive love How to stop being attracted to people who are bad for you What ‘learned helplessness’ is A healthy relationship is not boring, settling or dull You can find more from Georgie like her new book ‘master your relationship anxiety’ and her Instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Britt's an Outlaw, Dummy Fairies and Correctile Dysfunction
Hey Lifers! It's Laura's birthday!!! She had a beautiful message from the most special two girls (definitely her kids and not Britt and Keeshia)! There are revelations about our years on this Earth and we want to wish our happiest birthday the most wonderful human we know! Laura's home has had a visit from the dummy fairy and we've all entered a new chapter! Britt has found herself in some hot water with the law which has led to a lot of surrendering and the need for a screw driver. Who is truly at 'fault' is still up for debate! Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin had an awkward exchange on the red carpet. They've gone on to joke about this being 'manturrupting' 'correctile dysfunction'. How do you feel about celebrities owning businesses and adding to their already existing wealth? Tina Fey recently sparked debate by criticising the trend of ultra-wealthy people launching their own businesses, particularly in industries where they lack expertise in industries like skincare, fashion, wellness, or alcohol.

Ask Uncut - Hall Passes & Pretending Cheating Never Happened
Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deep and burning questions! Britt is apparently giving Stiffler’s mum vibes and Laura feels very validated about everyone’s hatred for exhaust/extraction fans! Vibes for the week: Laura - Lucky Boy Podcast Britt - Adolescence on Netflix Keeshia - Inherited Podcast with Michelle Andrews Then we jump into your questions! WHEN TO TELL DATES THAT I CAN’T HAVE A BABY I’m venturing back into dating as a single girl in her early 30s after a very toxic relationship ending a few months ago. I also found out last year that I’m unable to have my own children due to some bad health issues. This was devastating as I always saw myself being a mum one day. My question is, at what stage do I disclose this to potential partners? A couple of dates in? It feels really heavy and most people I meet seem to want kids so I’m mindful of wasting their time but I’m unsure how to approach this. COUPLE FRIENDS PRETENDING CHEATING DIDN’T HAPPEN My boyfriend’s best friend has a great partner and three kids who have become a big part of our life. We always saw them as the perfect family—until two months ago, when we found out he’d been cheating for a year and got a girl pregnant. His partner was the one who told us and asked us not to say anything (she’s a very proud person and was obviously a mess) I supported her of course trying to say all the right things, but nearly three months later, she’s still with him, seemingly in denial, while he acts like nothing happened. My boyfriend and I are struggling with all the lies as he used their friendship to cover his tracks multiple times. Do I keep being friends with them and pretend this didn’t cause so much hurt? I’m worried we will lose these kids because we have hardly seen them since and we really just don’t know what to do! Advice please! CAN WE SUCCESSFULLY HAVE A HALL PASS? My partner of 7 years has asked what I would think of having a ‘hall pass’ for one night with a random. We are 25 and he says he would like to experience another sexual partner since we’ve been together since we were 18. I am not opposed to the idea and have thought about it before. He has said it would be a stranger and only once and we would never tell each other when/where/who once we’d done it. I am leaning towards a yes but have an underlying fear that our relationship wouldn’t be the same afterwards. He is 100% my penguin and I believe we will last a lifetime for sure. I guess my question for you is, is this a reasonable request and what boundaries would you put

How To Spot A Liar & Handle Difficult People. Uncut with Jefferson Fisher
Is confidence the key to effective communication? How are you meant to respond when someone says something incredibly rude? How can we use silence to out a liar? Jefferson Fisher is a trial lawyer who you might know as the guy who records videos from his car all about how to communicate during life’s everyday awkward situations and arguments! Jefferson amassed 5.8 million followers and has a new book out titled “the next conversation” and it’s his tried-and-true strategies to deal with difficult people and tough situations. Our favourite thing about Jefferson is that he provides word for word advice on how to navigate a lot of conflict and having the tool of ‘if someone says this to you, respond with this’ is incredibly helpful! In today’s conversation, we unpack: Where Jefferson learnt the art of storytelling How storytelling can determine the outcome of a court case Why you should never try to win an argument How you can park your ego and emotion during an argument so that you can get your point across in a way that will be listened to Jefferson’s tips to make a liar out themselves (remember he’s a trial attorney) How to spot a liar!

Do We Have Full Frontal Double Standards?
Hey Lifers! We’re all rev heads now. Officially on the F1 bandwagon; real housewives or documentary, you can decide. We have a quick catch up on our weekend! RIP Keeshia’s toe and Britt’s dignity after a trip to chemist warehouse and a case of mistaken identity. Laura has a small health update of something she’s been putting up with since last September. We desperately need better options when it comes to women’s health care and this is a little reminder to advocate for your own health. Is there a double standard when it comes to full frontals on our screens? Jason Isaacs is sick of being asked whether or not he wore a prosthetic penis in The White Lotu s where his character, Timothy Ratliff, had his penis hanging out of his bathrobe while in front of his children. He said “It’s interesting that there’s a double standard for men. But when women are naked, Margaret Qualley, in ‘The Substance,’ nobody would dream of talking to her about her genitalia or her nipples. So, it's odd that there’s a double standard.” We speak about: Whether he has a point How women’s nudity has been used on screens How the media has approached female on screen nudity The difference between romantic/seductive full frontals and shock/comedic nude scenes Our thoughts about prosthetics being used on screen You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Ask Uncut - Free the Nip, Take the Dip!
Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we discuss your deepest and dizzy dilemmas. We’re all feeling uncomfortable about Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner’s tennis affection and we’re just hoping Timmy’s tummy is feeling better. Vibes for the week: Britt - Running Point on Netflix Keeshia - Salted Matcha Powder from T2 Laura - Similar Web - Competitive Landscape Analysis I WANT TO DO A NUDIE SWIM - BF AGAINST IT I live in Hobart and every year there is a big nudist swim to celebrate the winter solstice. You have to register, there's no photography allowed, you all wear robes and swim caps and drop them when you run into the water. Of course there's lots of nudity but it's absolutely freezing so not everyone is hanging out stark naked. I told my partner I want to participate in the swim this year and it did not go down well. He believes that it's a perverse event, full of voyeurs and doesn't understand why it has to be nude. I believe it's a celebration of the body in the basest form, and an act of rebirth in cold water. He doesn't understand why I would "put myself in a situation with pervs, and to parade myself like meat in front of lions". I find this language incredibly shaming, and it furthers the sexualisation of female bodies in a negative way. Am I the asshole for going ahead and doing it, regardless of his attitude. OVERTHINKING IG ‘FOR YOU’ PAGE FOR BF? My partner and I have been together 5 years, engaged, very much in love and happy in our relationship. We have an open phone policy meaning having no issues with being on each other's phone for whatever reason. On road trips, which have been frequent lately, my service cuts out regularly and I love a doom scroll through reels on Insta to pass the time. He’s happy for me to do this on his phone while mine is out of service. Everytime I open his insta, his ‘for you page’ is flooded with women who hold only fans accounts, posting pics of their enormous, wonderful tits/body. I say good for them in that regard and I have no shame on women who choose to do this. I have joked/bantered to him in the past about this and he has mentioned it is because Instagram has formed his algorithm based on the ‘average 30 year old male’. When I look on my ‘for you page’, my algorithm is formed by stupid reels, memes and animals that I engage in daily. Does Instagram form an algorithm based on age and gender or for what you show interest/consume in most frequently? I have no issue with him watching porn, however, for some reason, the idea that my partner may be frequently scrolling through or searching for posts related to only fans or women with body types that are polar opposites to my own leaves an unsettling feeling in my stomac

Are We All Hate Watching With Love, Meghan? And The Rules Around Bachelor Parties.
Hey Lifers! Straight off the b̶a̶c̶k̶ bat, how do you feel about the sound of exhaust fans? Are they the bane of your existence or are you normal? We have a devastating update about Britt's hens entertainment and checks notes it is not appropriate to ask if the entertainment should come to our workplace. Noted. Ben has had his bucks party and it was a little less of a rager than what Britt anticipated. We ended up having a bit of a deeper conversation about what the 'rules' of hens/bucks parties are, the length of the 'leash' and being in a relationship with genuine trust and how that feels really different to previous relationships. Why are people hate-watching Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show Love, Meghan? Why do we hate watch or hate follow anyone? We unpack the how these factors play into why we might consume content from people that we really don't like: Confirmation bias. If you already think someone is awful, watching their content (and finding more reasons to dislike them) reinforces that belief. The need for comparison. Hate-watching gives us a way to feel superior. Schadenfreude—the joy of watching a train wreck Participation in a bigger conversation Algorithms LOVE outrage!

Ask Uncut -My Train Of Thought Is Not Normal
Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack all of your deep and burning questions. Britt is broken from dancing and we decided it was the right time to have a bit of an intervention with her. She is upset by Laura and Keeshia going behind her back but they're sticking to their nostrils. Vibes for the week: Britt and Laura - Devil in the family on Disney plus Keeshia - Koala Luxe Mattress Then we jump into your questions! HOW DO I GET MY IDENTITY BACK AS A MUM? I want to start off by saying I absolutely love being a mum and I am grateful everyday that I have two beautiful girls. This didn’t come easy for my partner and I and had a few losses along our journey. My question is how do you find your identity after becoming a mum? My youngest is 12 weeks old and oldest is 2 and right now my life is consumed with being a mum. I feel a bit lost and find myself missing who I was before. I avoid mirrors when I can because I don’t recognise the person looking back at me. I want to be the best role model for my girls and I’m worried if I can’t find myself again I won’t be able to do this for them. During the labour of my second I was listening to random episodes of the Podcast to take my mind off the contractions. I didn’t realise I still had my headphones on when I started to push and my daughter was born to the sound of Britt's laugh! SHOULD I HOOK UP WITH HIM AGAIN AFTER I SH*T DURING SEX? My ex and I broke up in October. Recently, we’ve been reconnecting for a bit of company and casual fun. Last weekend, I popped over to his place for a chill lunch hangout, which of course eventually led to some steamy playtime. It was one of those really hot days, so we decided to have a shower session. Things got hot and steamy, and he started touching me in all the right places with his hand. As things really started to heat up I said “Fuck me!” He replied with a cautious “babe,” but when I turned back - I was hit with a shock I’ll never forget. His finger was covered in a thick smear of gooey, brown diarrhoea. It was my first time experiencing such an unsexy disaster, and needless to say, I was mortified. We quickly washed off, agreeing that “we can’t come back from this one.” Now it’s become a core memory I can’t shake. So here’s my dilemma: should I put the brakes on our casual escapades, or might a second round (with a strategic bathroom break this time) help us wipe the slate clean? HOW TO TELL MY HUSBAND HE HAS NEVER MADE ME COME? I’m a female, married and am in my late 20’s. I’ve always enjoyed sex, but as I’ve gotten older, my sex drive has declined. This has become a point of tension in my marriage, as my husband has always maintained his sex dri

The Shift In Identity After Having A Baby. Uncut with Holly Nicholson
Quite a while ago now we put a call out for who you’d like to hear on the podcast and the name that came through the MOST was the woman sitting in front of us Holly Kingston/Nicholson! We initially got to know Holly when she found love with Jimmy on the bachelor and they’ve gone on to get married and break the bachelor girl baby spell with their son Lenny! “Once you have a baby, your relationship will never be the same” seems to be a tale told to a lot of expecting mums. And it’s true, but there are a few parts left out of that narrative. Holly and Laura ran into each other not long before Holly had Lenny and she told her ‘no one tells you how much fun it’s going to be’. We speak about: Life before bach How her and Jimmy decided to pivot careers What the first year of their relationship was like Maintaining friendships after the bachelor Their challenging pregnancy journey Being both very grateful that you’re pregnant but really not liking pregnancy What the baby blues can feel like The counter narrative of motherhood being all doom and gloom The shift in identity that becoming a mum gives you How their relationship has changed since becoming parents Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 6:17 Accidentally Unfiltered 13:23 Post Bach Relationship 17:37 Road to Pregnancy 24:44 Positive Test 25:50 Pregnancy and Postpartum 32:25 C-Section Birth 36:50 How Babies Change Relationships 43:45 Unsolicited Parenting Advice 51:13 Strange Pregnancy Symptoms You can find more from Holly on her instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Britt's Hens, A Winning Cat & Has MAFS Gone Too Far?
Hey Lifers! Britt is unexpectedly jealous of someone very close in Ben's life and what's a girl got to do to get to enjoy some cannoli? Britt is still *undecided about whether she wants an adult performer or not at her hens party. Is it okay to want a particular one? The pet content creators are truly taking over as not just the winner of their cat-egory but the entire content creator awards! Laura thinks it's purrfect but Britt thinks they've got to be kitten! (I will stop with the cat puns...) We've previously really enjoyed MAFS for the social commentary that it creates and the ability to dissect toxic behaviours and speak about them in a public way. But, it seems as though it might be time to draw a line in the sand of what we are not willing to accept from contestants on our screens. After an act of violence from one of the contestants was brought up on the show, there has been a huge backlash from the public calling for the show to be cancelled after the experts did not remove the contestant. The company who creates the show has come out saying that their 'first priority at all times has been the wellbeing and safety of the participants'. But is this true? We speak about some of the unethical practices that happen behind the scenes of reality TV and the acceptance of violent people on our screens that exists right now in Australia.

Ask Uncut - Live, Laugh, Love. It’s Not A Dress Rehearsal
Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack all of your deep and burning questions on a *checks notes* Monday! Britt shares a story so embarrassing that we had to promise we wouldn’t make a social media clip out of it. Lola has reached a new milestone. Vibes: Britt - Monster BTK Podcast Keeshia - New season of Australian Survivor - Brains vs Brawn Laura - American Murder - Gabby Petito Then we jump into your questions! HOW LONG DO I GIVE HIM TO MAKE THINGS OFFICIAL? I have recently re-kindled a relationship with my previous on and off f-buddy of 5 years on. We’ve been talking for about a month, going on dates and getting to know each other at a deeper level to what we have in the past. This time feels different, we are both opening up a lot more about how and what we are feeling. He says we are “feeling things out” which is true but realistically I have always had more of an emotional attachment regardless of how casual we kept things. So, my question is, how long do I allow him to make a decision? After 5 years of on and off, I don’t want to put a timeline on things but also don’t want to potentially allow myself to be strung along. DO I ASK HIM TO TAKE HAIR LOSS MEDICATION? Can I ask my husband to take anti-balding medication? We have been together more than 10 years and have 2 kids. He’s always been a silver fox with thick salt and pepper hair, which I love. However, his hair is now starting to thin and I want to ask him to take measures to prevent this - there are sooo many easy and safe options for men to do this these days! My question is whether I have the right to ask him to? I’d be offended if he asked me to alter my appearance or have anti-Aging procedures, is this the same thing? Thank you for your wisdom. HE SLEPT IN THE SPARE ROOM AFTER FINDING OUT I HAVE A VIBRATOR I have been with my partner for almost 5 years. We recently got married. We don’t have a particularly regular sex life, maybe a handful of times per year, and when we do it’s pretty vanilla (which is fine). Recently, after one too many drinks we started getting steamy and I with my liquid courage asked if he wanted to incorporate my vibrator in the mix. Until then, he didn’t know that I had or used a vibrator. I had some shame about it when I started using the vibrator years and years ago (before I met him), but I slowly realised how normal it was. Fast forward to when I asked my partner if we should try using it during sex, he was immediately shocked and shut down. He got quite upset (I’m not sure whether about the fact that I have a vibrator or that I caught him by surprise), but he said he felt “a bit attacked”. I was really upset by it as all I wanted to do was spice things

Conflict Affects Sex and Sex Affects Conflict. Uncut with Sexologist Lucille Shackleton
Lucille Shackleton is a sexologist and relationship therapist who has just released her debut book titled “ All In ”. When Lucille was working with couples as a therapist, most of the training that she had done said ‘if the friendship is good the sex will be good’ but this didn’t seem to be the case in practice. So Lucille went and did a masters of sexology to figure out what some of the missing pieces to the ‘good sex’ puzzle were. One particular puzzle piece that we wanted to unpack with Lucille was how much conflict affected libido and desire. We unpack: The love lust split Why referring to your partner as ‘mummy’ or ‘daddy’ (not in that way) can make you both stop desiring each other The question of ‘do you not want sex?’ or ‘are you not having sex that you actually want?’ Figuring out your sex values Relationship satisfaction goes up when people learn that their ‘problems’ are normal, even if they aren’t having more sex The ‘narratives’ that we create about our partners & ‘core negative’ images Does intention matter when it comes to conflict? How much our ego comes into play during conflict Sex life after giving birth When one partner has a dry spell or ‘shuts up shop’ and doesn’t want sex anymore You can find more from Lucille at her Instagram Grab her new book You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Are You Guilty Of "Someday Syndrome"?
Hey Lifers! Captain Keeshia is filling in for Britt today as she is busy carving up the dance floor at Dancing With The Stars! Laura thought they were going to have a comparable experiences but now she feels gaslit by Britt. If you haven't yet had the chance to listen, you can find our new mini series podcast Cloud here! If you get given a scratchie by someone as a present, is there an expectation if you win that you will split the winnings with the person who has given you the scratchie? Laura shares a story about a family feud that lasted decades. Confessionals are back and... yeah wow. You can continue to send them in to us at life uncut podcast on instagram. How would you feel if you found out that the person you were newly dating had hooked up with an acquaintance of yours within the week that you met? Would you not care at all or would it make you question whether they were 'ready' for a proper commitment? It's a situation that's playing out on Love Is Blind and we asked whether it's different because it's reality TV or if we would react in the same way. Are you guilty of 'Someday Syndrome'? Are you deferring life goals or things that you want in your life to 'someday' down the track? We unpack the excuse trap, the right time and the fear of failure. Laura questions whether deferring goals is always a bad thing or whether it's more about prioritisation and inherent sacrifice. Keeshia questions whether it's the 'goal' or the feeling that the goal brings us that we actually want.

Ask Uncut - Not My Biological Father, Career or Motherhood & Concert Etiquette
Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we unpack all of your deep dark and burning questions. Laura is a bit f*cking rooted today apparently! There are no sick days here at life uncut! First very important question: which colour snakes (lollies) do you like the least? Is it orange? It's probably orange right?? Second very important question: what flavour is the orange lolly? The answer to this still hurts my brain. Keeshia has been reunited with Britt's dad Tony and there's a lifer who now gets where our obsession with him comes from! Vibes for the week: Keeshia Cloud podcast Britt It's All Over. The Kiss That Changed Spanish Football on Netflix Laura White Lotus Season 3 Then we jump into your questions: DO I LET IT GO TO PROTECT MY DAD? Growing up, I always looked and felt really different from the rest of my family. It was always a running joke that I was the “adopted” child because I don’t resemble anyone. When I was 14 and really into science, I learned that my blood type wasn’t a possible combination of my parents. I brought it up with my mum, but she completely shut me down and made me feel silly for even questioning it. Fast forward to late last year, and my sister and I did a heritage DNA test for fun. When the results came back, we found out we’re only half-sisters—meaning we have different dads. I have no idea what to do with this information. I’ve always had suspicions that my mum might have had an affair over the years (I’ve even seen some texts on her phone to another man). The thing is, my dad is the sweetest, most pure-hearted man. He’s retired now and living his best life, and I know that something like this could absolutely shatter him. I don’t know if it’s my place to bring it up or if he would be happier living in ignorant bliss. I don’t care about finding out who my “real” biological father is—I just care about what’s best for my dad. Is it my duty to dig deeper and confront my mum? Or do I let this go to protect him? I’m completely torn. CONCERT ETIQUETTE Can you stand up at a concert when in a reserved seating area? If you want to stand to pop along, should you book a GA standing? DO I REKINDLE THINGS AFTER SHE HAS THE BABY? I’ve just started talking to a new man for the first time after being cheated on in my last relationship. We went on two dates, and I really liked him. We slept together, he stayed the night, it was great! This man ticked all of my boxes. All of a sudden, after staying the night, he stopped replying! I thought he’d ghosted me and things were done. Then three days later, he came back and explained that he and his ex had hooked up in October last year and SHE IS PREGNANT! She’s now just st

The Catch Up Trap & How To Speak With Your Friends Who Are Struggling With Fertility. Uncut with Tanya Hennessy
Today’s guest is one of the most funny, relatable and completely open people we’ve been lucky enough to chat with. Tanya Hennessy is a comedian, radio announcer, TV presenter, multi-bestselling author and content creator. We kick this chat off by speaking about something Tanya recently wrote about called the ‘catch up trap’. It’s where we all seem to be just ‘catching up’ with our friends and recapping our lives rather than actually creating new memories together. It can be reflective of the stage of life that we’re in, but it can also make you question whether it’s a good use of our time to just be relaying what we’ve been up to since the last time we spoke. When was the last time you created ‘new’ memories with your friend? Tanya is now all about creating these new memories and seeking deep joy from her friendships. Tanya has been very open with her long ‘journey’ with challenging fertility. The main difference is that Tanya speaks about it in real time, not hindsight. Tanya is currently going through the process of her 7th round of IVF and has tried quite literally everything that you could imagine. Something we are often asked during Ask Uncut is how to speak about kids, pregnancy or trying to conceive with a friend that you know has been struggling with their own fertility. Unfortunately there is no one size fits all answer of how to do it right. But, we ask Tanya how she navigates her friendships with her loved ones that have kids, how she responds to social media announcements and things like baby showers etc. Tanya also speaks about the things that we need to address on a systemic level like pregnancy loss care and removing the deafening silence of fertility struggle stigma.

Welcome to Cloud!
Hey Lifers! Over the past 4 months we have been working on this very special project; a brand new 10 part mini series called Cloud, hosted by Life Uncut’s Executive Producer Keeshia Pettit. Cloud is a podcast series created to discuss ADHD and late age diagnosis; a conversation that was sparked after Keeshia’s own diagnosis. The name Cloud is inspired by the experiences of many late-diagnosed women who describe finally feeling like a “cloud was lifted” after learning more about the different ways that their brains work and how they ‘fit’ into society. With all of the content about ADHD on social media explaining what the condition is, I’ve been on quite a journey figuring out the difference between what I thought were personality flaws and what is actually symptomatic of this condition. I realised that there was a bit of a gap of what to do next. What was I meant to do with all of this information? Cloud was created to fill that gap. It explores the intersection of ADHD with identity, relationships, career, and well-being so that we can live more fulfilling and more present lives. Each episode will offer insight into a different aspect of ADHD from guests like Mark Manson, the author of ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, psychiatrist Dr Kieran Kennedy, focus and attention expert Johann Hari and relationship experts Sabrina Zohar and Logan Ury. Today’s conversation is about emotional dysregulation, shame, masking, impulsivity, self criticism and success. We chat: Why I was so hesitant to speak publicly about ADHD The ‘oversaturation’ of ADHD content on social media How ADHD presents differently in girls and women Wondering if I'd have known earlier, would life have been easier? How I've changed since diagnosis How Britt & Laura feel I've changed Rejection sensitive dysphoria, emotional dysregulation, shame, impulsivity and time blindness. Am I a chameleon or am I masking?

Ask Uncut - Can I Date My Late Husband's Friend?
Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer all of your deep, dark and burning questions! We had to record this episode a few days early because we didn’t know if Laura would be on a plane to South Africa to be reunited with Matt after I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! By this time, you’ll well and truly know the outcome of whether he made it to the final and whether Laura survived the 30 hours of flying with two kids! Vibes for the week: Britt - Netflix Apple Cider Vinegar Keeshia - Mid Amanda Keller and Anita McGregor Know How Lucky They Are Laura - Case-Mate Stick It! Then we jump into your questions! CAN I DATE MY LATE HUSBAND’S FRIEND? My husband passed aways in an accident nearly 3 years ago, he was 29 and we had been together since we were 16. After years of heartache (which will live with me forever) I’m finally feeling open to the idea of dating again. I’ve recently reconnected with an old friend who was a friend of my husbands too. He has the most grounded, secure, kind energy and I have found myself having feelings for him. I have no idea where he stands on this situation and whether or not he just sees me as a friend. I want to ask him/ tell him how I’m feeling but I don’t want to get it wrong and potentially uplift our friendship. Help THEY NAMED US GODPARENTS WITHOUT ASKING US FIRST A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I attended my cousin's baby's dedication at church. All was going well until they announced in front of all our friends and family that my husband and I were the Godparents to their child....We were shocked. There was no previous conversation surrounding this topic, and my husband and I agreed that if they asked us, we would politely decline as it's a serious role to take on as we already have 3 kids of our own (and wanted to try for another). We stood there awkwardly smiling and didn't know how to react. We were never "asked" to be their child's Godparents and were announced with the title in front of everyone with no prior discussion. Is it rude of me to have a conversation with them and explain that we thought it was unfair of them to announce that in front of our family when we were never even asked if we would take on the role, or should I say nothing and pretend like we aren't bothered by it? SHOULD I HAVE MY PARTNERS PHONE PASSCODE? I have a lot of trust issues… I’ve had a rough time with relationships and trust. I always go through my husband's phone (once a day I would say) not necessarily finding anything just “making sure”. About a month ago I asked him to change his password so I couldn’t

A Granny, A Nurse & A Secret Sex Worker For 20 Years! Uncut with Dr Hilary Caldwell
When it comes to topics like pleasure and sex, we all have different biases and shame that we carry and it’s difficult to distance ourselves from the conditioning and societal values that we’ve grown up with. But this episode is definitely going to make you evaluate your thoughts on sex, shame and empowerment. Joining the podcast today is sexologist and academic Dr Hilary Caldwell. Hilary was a sex worker in secret for 20 years and kept her double life from her friends and family. She didn’t have any of the stereotypes that seem to surround women for their reasons of getting into the sex industry and she certainly didn’t need to be saved from it. Hilary has used her experiences in the industry alongside her research to unpack why we feel so much internal shame when it comes to sex. Dr Hilary Caldwell is an academic with a Masters in Health Science and Applied Science. Her doctorate, ‘Women Who Buy Sex in Australia’ was the first study in the world to explore women buying sexual services and was informed by her professional career in the field of sexology. We chat: Hilary’s reasons for entering the sex work industry and whether they’re the same as everyone who enters the industry Hilary’s experiences entering the industry that oppose preconceived ideas and the things she regrets Why Hilary continued nursing at the same time Why she kept her other work a secret from friends and family What made Hilary want to enter academia and infiltrate the system The different experiences that women have around sex in comparison to men Emotions like jealousy and how poly relationships navigate jealousy Some of the things that sex workers collectively keep secret Why sex workers are fighting for decriminalisation rather than legalisation of their industry You can find more from Hilary at her website And instagram You can find Hilary’s book “Slutdom: Reclaiming shame-free sexuality” You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for pri

Hey Lifers, First up, please vote to save Matt in the jungle here! Laura is slightly concerned about Lola's 'spontaneity' if they end up being sent to South Africa to be there for the final of I'm a celeb. She's developed a new way to release her rage 🌙. Britt has asked one of us to be a very important person involved in her wedding, but it's not Laura... Laura knows exactly why she wasn't asked.

We're here to celebrate all of the Valentines, the galentines, the palentines and the ... dogentines. Would you rather a 'traditional' valentines gift like flowers, chocolates etc, or something more 'practical'? Do you think it's okay to vent to your friends about your partner? We unpack what Jake said to Ashleigh on MAFS about 'breaking the trust' after she went to speak with one of the other contestants about some of the horrible things he said about other women during the photo ranking challenge. We speak about what makes it okay to vent and what makes it a bit of a betrayal to your partner.

Ask Uncut - Second Chances, A Cousin's Flirtatious Husband and Following Problematic Accounts
Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deepest, darkest dilemmas. Did you have a good 'theme' for your hens? We might all be going as the different versions of Britt. There are a few to choose from! We have spoken about Laura's revelation about how chickens reproduce for the past few weeks but today we list the ridiculous things that you didn't learn until far too late. Vibes and unsubscribes for the week: Britt - unsubscribing from fake real estate photos Keeshia - Prof G Markets Podcast Laura - The brand - Kinga Csilla Then we get into your questions! DO I GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE BECAUSE SHE IS? One of my closest friends has a toxic relationship with her toddler's father. He abandoned her around the time of the birth, and for the first year of the child's life. He has a drinking problem, has cheated, has said some really vile things and even got her pregnant again while having another girlfriend on the side. As you can imagine, I've been there for all of this, and stepped in during his absence a lot. I obvs hate his guts. After being away from him for some time and getting her life back together, he has come crawling back, and now they are back on and LIVING together. I physically cannot bring myself to support this, and I feel awful because I have distanced myself entirely for months. Am I being selfish, and should I give him another chance because she is? I haven't told her how I feel but my silence and absence I think would speak volumes - and hers does too. How to handle this? DO I TELL MY HUSBAND MY PAST DATING LIFE INCLUDED WOMEN? My husband and I are happily married with kids. We’ve been together for about 8 years. He’s a pretty open guy generally speaking but we are from a conservative city so I do sometimes hear comments from him and his family to suggest otherwise. I listened to your episode yesterday about talking about your past relationships. My husband has never wanted to hear about my past relationships, nor share much about him. So here’s the thing… My past few years of relationships before we got together were with women (one of which I lived with). I have no issue with my sexuality but the years of not sharing these details with him have made this into a bigger deal in my head and I feel like if he found out now, it would be a bit of a shock to him. So my question is, should I tell my husband I like pussy or leave it? COUSIN’S HUSBAND SAYS HE HAS FEELINGS FOR ME My cousin “Shelly” and her husband “Dean” have been together for 14 years and have 3 kids. Recently, they’ve joked about separation and divorce.

Communication Is Key, But How Do We Do It? Uncut with Charles Duhigg
We’ve said it a hundred times; communication is everything. But we aren’t really ever taught how to actually communicate. What makes someone a good communicator? And why is it so important? People aren’t just born good communicators and it’s something that we can all improve our skills on. Joining the podcast today is Pulitzer prize winning reporter and author Charles Duhigg. Charles’ most recent book titled ‘supercommunicators’ investigated the simple and tested methods for communicating and connecting with anyone.

We speak about: How having ‘different types’ conversations with partners is likely why you feel misunderstood or not listened to Becoming ‘neurally entrained’ and using the ‘matching principle’ to be a good communicator How to ask the right questions The communication of conflict and how to avoid it - ‘when you’re feeling furious, get curious.’ Can you ‘learn’ to use communication in a manipulative way EQ, unlike EQ is learned, not born with The difference between true vulnerability and fake vulnerability You can find more from Charles at his website You can follow Charles’ Instagram His book “supercommunicators - How to unlock the secret language of connection’ is available in hardcopy and audiobook on audible and spotify.

Are Celebrities 'Renting a Womb'? And Britt's Twinkle Toes Announcement
Hey Lifers! Lola turned 4 and Matt would apparently prefer a mango than... intimate time with Laura. Mangoes are particularly juicy at this time of the year though. Britt has been very busy for the last few weeks working on a secret project that she can finally reveal! We speak about how Ben felt when he first found out, why the show has such a spicy reputation overseas and how she's been going with her partner! Are celebrities 'renting' wombs? Surrogacy is nothing new to the celebrity world but the response to Lily Collin's baby arrival was quite unusual. Comments like: "Surrogacy becoming a trend between celebrities is one of the finest expressions of capitalism," and "You are so rich that you think you can use a woman as an incubator and you can purchase a baby." We unpack whether we feel differently about surrogacy if a surrogate is commissioned for non medical reasons. In a world where women are told they can 'have it all and be it all,' do we have a problem when a woman outsources her pregnancy?

Ask Uncut - Make A U Turn You Bad Girl
Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deepest dilemmas! Last week we learned that Laura was in her mid twenties when she realised how chickens procreated. It turns out, she was absolutely not alone! Which voice do you like your robots to have? Are you into the simple factory setting Siri or would you prefer a bit of hot guy ASMR? Vibes for the week: Laura - The Six Triple Eight film on Netflix Britt - The Telepathy Tapes Podcast Keeshia - The Traitors US on 10Play Then we jump into your questions! USED CONDOM I was with my ex for almost 3 years when we had a baby. The baby was 1 and things in our relationship went downhill. We called it off due to my partner needing space. 3 weeks after breaking up we had a chat and agreed that we would see each other again and not see anyone else. I have now found a used condom in the bin. Some background context; he got asked to be a sperm donor by a friend and has said that he masturbated into the condom to save it. Am I wrong in not believing why the condom was used? FAST MOVING RELATIONSHIP AND THEFT I have been seeing a guy for about 6 months. It’s one of those romances that moves quite fast and feels so perfect. I have not had many adult relationships, never felt this loved so it’s all full steam ahead. I’ve had a few comments from friends and family about the speed we are moving but that’s probably expected. We are currently applying for houses so we can live together. He has kids from past relationships that he has a lot of the time. I love kids so no problem here. My question is I have just found out that he has some legal proceedings coming up this year. He used someone else’s bank details to purchase items for himself, so effectively stealing/fraud but he stands by that he was told he could spend the money on himself even though he thought it seemed a bit odd at the time. He will be pleading guilty as his lawyer advised this will be the best outcome for him. I am so conflicted as I have never felt this loved by someone and felt like I was really finally getting my fairy tale ending after watching everyone else get theirs. Is it a bad idea to stand by and support him while he goes through this knowing he has stolen from someone? I can’t even fathom having to try and find someone else at this point as I really want kids of my own in the next few years and it took me 10 years to find someone. WE ELOPED AND MY PARENTS ARE ANGRY My husband and I recently eloped overseas. We made the decision to keep it a surprise and tell everyone at the same time with individual messages to our immediate families and social media informing all other family and friends. Everyone so far has been extremely happy for us and shared that excitem

Laughing Through Grief with Toni Lodge
Toni Lodge is a comedian, the author of ‘I don’t need therapy’ (and other lies I’ve told) and half of the Toni and Ryan podcast! The perfect way to sum up today’s episode is ‘dark humour’. Toni is truly one of the funniest people we’ve ever met and she shares two of the most ‘vulnerable’ accidentally unfiltered stories we’ve ever heard. We speak about Toni’s rise to being one of the most popular podcasters in the country after being told that she wasn’t quite the right fit for the microphone when she was in radio. We speak about the different ways that people reach success in media these days and not having to check the same boxes that people used to. We take a bit of a behind the scenes tour into how podcasting actually works, how it’s monetised, who owns what etc. We speak about: The dynamics of relationships when you work with one of your closest friends Choosing to be child free and finding peace with that decision Grief can look different to what we expect it to Feeling like it was really hard to casually speak about her mum after she passed away Toni wants people to stop saying “sorry” when someone passes away Achieving things after losing a parent and wanting to be able to tell them Handling grief and sad things in general with humour creates a split crowd Writing down your non negotiables - 5 things that you will not leave this life without achieving You can find more from Toni on her Instagram and her podcast You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Britt's Big Move & McLaren Man Can We Have $50k?
Ciao Bellas! Britt has some very exciting news! She knows how to order ice cream, wine and ask where the toilet is of her new 'home' and frankly, what more do you need? Matt has done a 'tucker trial' in the jungle and Britt is revisiting her worst memories of the jungle that include spitting a half chewed pig's nipple at Robert Irwin's shoe... Vote to save Matt here! MAFS is back and we unpack the over production and whether you'd give someone a second chance! It brought up some questions about whether people can actually change, whether timing is a factor or whether some people are just manipulative and reality TV literate. We've realised that after so much self development over the course of this podcast, we've still got some lessons to learn. Have you ever heard of something called 'cash for comment'? It's a bit of an industry phrase that we all have to abide by but today we're questioning whether this particular example was worth 'cracking' down on. We discuss some other examples of when it’s happened but there haven’t been repercussions for other media personalities, and whether those situations were actually more shady and manipulative.

Ask Uncut - The Return Of The Huntsmans
Hey Lifers! Laura's past is coming back to haunt Britt and this time it's in the form of 8 legged creatures! Also just a reminder that this is not a national geographic podcast and you should take our animal facts with about a 50% accuracy assumption... Vibes for the week! Britt: Nektech Massager Keeshia: Diddy: the Making of a Bad Boy on Binge Laura: An Update On Our Family Docuseries on Binge Then we jump into your questions! MY TWO HOUSEMATES ARE SLEEPING TOGETHER We recently found out that two of my housemates are sleeping together and I can’t help but be a little pissed off at them. The guy recently had a messy breakup in the first week of our lease where his partner (one of my best friends) had to move out. The house is only just recovering from this. The girl he is sleeping with (our other housemate) has lived with us for two and half months so she was also living with the guy's ex. I’m finding it hard to be nice to them around the house but have been told by my partner for the sake of the house to be pleasant. What should I do? FINGER UP THE BUM This was a hot topic out for dinner with my girlfriends…. if you man sticks his finger up your butt during foreplay/sex what does it mean? Is it for your pleasure? Because he wants the same in return or could it be that he wants to try anal? Or is it just a simple finger in the butt that shouldn’t be questioned? ROOMMATES CATS DAMAGING PROPERTY I live in a shared house with two other girls. One of the girls has adopted two cats that now live with us. The cats are damaging property in the house that belongs to me like countless houseplants and scratching/making pulls in the couch. Am I within my right to ask for financial reimbursement for damages to my property or asking her to replace these items? She doesn’t apologise for the damage or destruction/death of plants and instead blames me. How should I approach this and is it fair to ask for financial reimbursement? BOYFRIEND DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT EXES Is it ok For your boyfriend of 3 years to not want to talk about his exes ? I feel like for me it’s not a big deal. Your past is your past, which is something you should be able to share with the love of your life: It’s part of who you are and why and how you’ve grown? Why should it matter if you have moved on? Why can’t or doesn’

New Year, New You? The Micro Changes We Can Make To Have A Much Happier Life. Uncut with TJ Power
New Year, New You is a bit outdated, but in January many of us are looking for ways to improve our lives—whether it’s forming healthier habits, becoming more focused, or simply feeling happier. But how often do we think about how our brain chemistry plays into all this? Today, we’re joined by neuroscientist, international speaker, and author of The DOSE Effect , TJ Power. His work focuses on small, practical habits that can help us regulate our brain's key chemicals: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Today we chat about: How the modern world affects our brain chemistry. Quick fix and crash dopamine - porn, sugar, social media, alcohol. Why we hate being bored and why boredom is good for us. The new 5 minute morning routine that will change the rest of your day. How different types of communication affects oxytocin - texting = 0, calling = some. How porn is affecting our brains and our relationships. Whether we have control over our willpower or not.

We Argue Like Sisters, But We Love Like Sisters
Hey Lifers!!! We hope you're in the mood for a bit of a chaotic laugh! We are catching up on the highlights and 'vibe' of our summer break. Laura's attempt at spicing up their sex life ended in a hard, terrible way... Britt had an overseas sauna experience that she will not forget anytime soon. Tiktok came back from cancellation quicker than we've ever seen a celebrity recover. Thinking that the app would be closed for business forever, some American tiktokers confessed their lies that helped them go viral! Some were innocent, others were a lot more on the nose. Are we surprised that creators lie in order to go viral? Not at all. But is it questionable when they've financially profited off the back of deceiving people? We speak about Trump's inauguration and how Melania's outfit choice sums up the mood. We also speak about the tech bros that attended and their attempts at rebranding their personal image.

Ask Uncut - WE'RE BACK! Plant Gate Has Entered The Chat
Hey Lifers! WELCOME BACK! We missed you so much! We're kicking off 2025 with our new schedule so Ask Uncut will now be dropping on a Monday morning (Aus time). Britt's year did not get off to the best start and Keeshia is in the naughty (plant) corner. Vibes for the week: Keeshia: Jerry Springer. Fights, Camera, Action on Netflix Laura: Mudbound film on Netflix Britt: I'm Not a Monster - The Shamima Begum Story Then we jump into your questions! NEW BF JUST HAD A BABY WITH PREVIOUS ONE NIGHT STAND I have been seeing a guy for the past 8 months. One of his previous one night stands reached out to him a few months into dating and said that she was pregnant. We decided to continue seeing each other and it was going fairly well. The baby was born a few weeks ago and I am struggling to be positive and supportive. Do you think that it would be best to let a new father sort out his relationship with his baby and baby mum before we focus on a relationship? Or could it happen simultaneously? I THINK I SLEPT WITH MY NEW HINGE MATCH’S BROTHER I have matched with someone on hinge and in my pre-stalking I’ve realised I actually have slept with his younger brother about 8 years ago....do you think it’s a big deal? They are a close family so don’t know whether to just stop talking to him now or keep pursuing and hope he doesn’t care when it comes up eventually? I THINK I HATE MY PARTNER’S CAT I’ve been with my partner for 2 years now. We live together and I know he’s my penguin. However there is just one problem. His cat. Don’t get me wrong I am the BIGGEST animal lover, and I would like to think of myself as quite a patient person, but I have tried for our entire relationship to bond with this cat and while there have been some moments, the majority of it has felt transactional and filled with a lack of unconditional love that you’d get from a dog - which I’ve grown up with. He also constantly meows and often when I try to show love he scratches and bites. It’s actually at the point where I become anxious from the constant meowing. It’s eating well so that’s not the issue, and the cat is 3 years old and well trained. My partner absolutely adores this cat and it’s recently become apparent to him that I don’t quite feel the same. However I am at the point where I actually cannot stand it. Idk what to do? Pls help! FRIEND HAS BEEN LYING ABOUT SOMETHING – IS THIS A BIG DEAL?<br

Matt Has A Very Big Announcement!!! Ask Uncut with Matty J and Laura
Hey Lifers! Today's ep is with our favourite mum and dad. We start this ep by bickering about driving and scraped rims... as every married couple would. Matt has a particularly exciting announcement for us and Laura was not initially happy about it! They speak about their future plans and whether they're both on board to have a 3rd kid. Then they jump into some questions for them and some ask uncut questions! Is Laura the breadwinner? If so, how does Matt feel about that? How early on in the bach season did Matt know that he was going to choose Laura? Are you friends with any of your exes? Navigating friendships if you become a parent Knowing what you know now as a parent, would you go back and change anything? Do you think that one person loves the other a bit more in a relationship? Have any of you had botox? How do they feel about the paparazzi Ask Uncut questions: I AM PREGNANT AFTER A ONE NIGHT STAND. SHOULD I TELL HIM? I had unprotected sex after a wedding with another guest and have since found out that I’m pregnant. Whilst the guy is lovely, it’s not a long term match given locations and jobs so I plan on terminating. Would you want to know? Should I tell him? And if so what is the best way to do so? DWINDLING SEX DRIVE - AM I THE PROBLEM? My husband and I have been together for 8 years (married for the last 3). We don’t have kids but have been through some major life obstacles in the last few years both to do with our careers as doctors and a change in work life balance. We are balancing working long days, having opposing days off and having to study outside of work for exams etc to advance in our careers. Our sex life has suffered and now it feels like more of a chore these days. On the rare occasion we do get intimate,I have found that I am disinterested in the act all together including doing anything sexual on my own. This is not the first time in a relationship that sex has dwindled for me over time and I’m starting to wonder if I even have the capability to sustain sexual lust in a long term relationship in general.

Summer Ask Uncut with Britt and Ben!
Hey Lifers! Today’s special ask uncut comes from our favourite fiances Britt and Ben! First up, they answer a few questions about how it’s been seeing each other again, wedding plans, kids in the future etc! Then they jump into your questions! MY HUSBAND DOESN’T APPRECIATE MY COOKING My husband & I have a 6 month old baby. I’m a stay at home mum and he works full time. I make dinner every night which is always hard cooking with a baby as my husband doesn’t get home until 6.30 when we’re about to eat. Last night I made dinner like usual and in conversation I said do you like it? He responded ‘ahh it’s alright’ but said it in a way that he wasn’t impressed. This offended me as I put a lot of effort in, while juggling our baby. I would’ve been happy with just toast for dinner but I put in the effort just for him. He thinks it’s ok to be honest and that he thought the dinner was just ok. My question is.. if someone makes you something such as dinner.. is it ok to be honest and say you didn’t really like it? Or be appreciative that someone put in the effort and just say it was good! I asked him if he was at our friends house would he say something they made was just ok? He said no but because this is his home he thinks it’s ok to be honest MY FRIEND HASN’T TOLD HER NEW BOYFRIEND THAT SHE CHEATED ON HER EX Should my friend tell her new boyfriend the reason that her and her ex husband split was because she cheated? They’ve been together 6 months and she still hasn’t told him and is doubting she will but I think she’s crazy because he will eventually find out (shit gets around) and I think he will be pissed off that she wasn’t honest with him. I’VE FALLEN FOR HIM BUT HE SAID HE SEES ME LIKE A SISTER I have known this guy for 5 years + and he's been there through breakups, graduation, my mum’s cancer and as of recent my mum’s passing/ funeral! My mum loved him and he promised her he would protect me. He's always so active in my life and helping everywhere possible - since all this has happened I now think I'm falling for him but he says he sees me as nothing but a sister. He's 30, l'm 24. Am I just wasting my time or is there something I can do? Also Brit how do I get rid of the feeling as I feel the guy should always pursue you, not the other way around? I KISSED ANOTHER GUY. DO I TELL MY LONG DISTANCE BOYFRIEND? I’ve been with my partner for about 3 years, like Britt and Ben we are long distance with him living overseas. We have a great relationship but I haven't seen him for 3-4 months. I made a huge mistake and kissed someone recently on a night out. It meant nothing and I immediately regretted it and felt so guilty. I know it will never happen again. I worry if I tell him it will ruin everything and he may break up with me. Knowing I wil

Ask Uncut - Christmas Parties, G Strings and the Mental Load of Hosting Christmas
Hey lifers! We are coming to you cross continental! Britt is in Romania and has met her brand new niece! We get some updates on how her reunion has been and whether meeting her dream, unicorn niece has shifted the needle on her decision around having a baby herself. Laura confesses to rage baiting us all and she's high on the power. Will her house end up looking like Dr Seuss? Most likely! Vibes for the week: Laura: All in the mind. The design tricks brands use to get you to buy Keeshia: Search Engine - What if ayahuasca made you stop podcasting? Britt: Just Married. The Anthea Bradshaw Mystery Then we jump into your questions! HUSBAND DOESN'T LIKE ME WEARING G STRINGS Been together 12 years (since I was 17), married with 3 young kids. When I was younger, I never wore g-strings and thought they were uncomfortable. Fast forward to my late 20s, and in the past year I've started wearing them to the gym for comfort and more of a seamless style. My husband does not like this. He thinks I'm disrespecting his boundaries and that I'm not being a good wife because I'm 'parading' myself by wearing that kind of underwear with shorts/leggings running or to gym, while he is working hard to provide for our family. I think the request to control the type of underwear I wear is over the top, and it was a decision I made for my own comfort and not to parade to others. I don't want to disrespect him or his boundaries though. What should I do? SHOULD I BE OFFENDED THAT I WASN’T ASKED TO GO TO THE CHRISTMAS PARTY? My partner works in a professional job and is employed by the government. I’ve met only a few of his colleagues. For their work Christmas party, they were just going out for dinner to a restaurant that is about an hour away from where we actually live (it’s 20 minutes from their workplace). He initially said that he wasn’t sure if he was going to go but his colleague had said that he should. I asked if partners were also invited and his response was ‘yes’. I was a bit taken back because he did not ask me if I wanted to go. When I mentioned this he responded “well you wouldn’t want to go to that surely?” It’s true; it’s not my idea of a good time but I’m feeling upset that I wasn’t actually asked. Is it normal to not ask your partner to go to a Christmas party when there is the option for partners to be included? HUSBAND ISN'T HELPING WITH HOSTING CHRISTMAS FUNCTION Each year, my cousin, her husband and my husband do Christmas dinner. We plan it in January as Dece

Figuring Out Our 30s! Uncut with Bridget Hustwaite
We’re all aware of the societal pressures and expectations put on us to have achieved certain things by the time we reach certain ages, but what about the questions we ask ourselves when a new decade looms? Whether you have or haven’t ticked off the traditional expectations of buying a house, getting married and starting a family, it seems as though we are all collectively asking ourselves more questions about who we are and what we want to be as we reach our 30s. Joining the podcast today is Bridget Hustwaite. Bridget is a presenter, an author, a podcaster and a content creator. Going into 30, Bridget looked as though she had it all figured out: she was well established in her career, she was in a 5 year long relationship with aspirations to settle down, she was financially independent and had found purpose in her advocacy for endometriosis. And then shit hit the fan and the expectations of what Bridget thought her future would look like crumbled. Bridget has a brand new book coming out called “figuring out 30” and chats with us about all of the unexpected lessons we learn when we question who we really are and what we are led to believe we ‘should’ want. We speak about: The strange internal feelings we can get around milestones Going through a significant break up just before reaching 30 We all fear ‘starting over’. Is this the best it’s going to get? Family dynamics and estrangement and how it shaped her understanding of herself The way people react when they find out that you aren’t in contact with your own family members vs how common it actually is Maternal desire. Figuring out the kid equation in your 30s How Bridget’s endometriosis affects fertility Can you be a feminist and support marriage? What modern marriage means What it’s like reentering the dating world in your 30s You can find more from Bridget Hustwaite on instagram You can pre order Bridget’s new book “Figuring Out 30” here!!

Some Big Changes Are Coming Next Year! And Unpacking "I Slept With 100 Men In One Day".
Hey Lifers! It's Laura and Keeshia today for the last Tuesday episode of the year (or maybe ever...)! Britt is over in Romania visiting Ben but she'll be back on Thursday for Ask Uncut. Christmas is really freaking soon and Laura is banking on the local RSL meat raffle to make up for her disorganised state! Laura and the family had a blast at the carols and met her new girl crush Emma Memma. If you’re an iPhone person, do you stick to even or odd numbered iPhones or are you just updating it whenever you feel you need? We have some big changes coming to next year! We speak through the results of our last survey and how we are mixing things up next year! There's a documentary that is going viral on youtube at the moment titled "I Slept With 100 Men In One Day". It follows Onlyfans star Lily Phillips and the aftermath of Lily's challenge where she is quite distraught after completing the challenge. We speak about the complexity of these types of conversations when so much has been done to shift the narrative of sex work and highlight how platforms like onlyfans can be empowering, when the reality of this situation blurs those lines. We ask: Why is it that this documentary made us feel uncomfortable? Whether the stunts continue to become more and more outrageous to keep attention and subscribers? If the concern for her wellbeing is faux care/ shame dressed up in a different costume?

Ask Uncut - Racoons or Architects, Boy's Trips, Cutting Ties & Empty Wishing Wells
Hey lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your life dilemmas! Are you the partner who packs the dishwasher like a Scandinavian architect or a racoon on meth? The dishwasher is causing some problems in households but maybe we are a bit guilty of weaponised incompetence too! Britt is heading over to Romania tonight and Laura is hosting the Christmas Carols in Surfer's Paradise this weekend! Carols details here Vibes for the week: Britt Storyworth book Keeshia Netflix Our Little Secret Laura Netflix Killer Sally and Jumbled diaries Then we get into your questions! HUSBAND GOES ON LOTS OF BOYS TRIPS AND I'M RESENTFUL My husband is part of a boys punting club where they put in $20 every week and then use the pool of money to go on an annual boys weekend away. He also has an annual interstate golf trip with a different group of dads. Both these trips are expensive and mean that I am left home with our 3 kids under 4. Am I right to feel resentful that he has these boys trips or are my expectations too high that he should give them up during this stage of life? All my friends are mums to young kids/babies so it’s a lot harder to organise a girls trip and I’d feel guilty to leave the kids for a few nights. Also I would rather spend the time and money on a family holiday or a trip with my husband. My dad never had boys trips, is this just the new normal for our generation? PARTNER COMPLAINS ABOUT MY TOILET SKIDDIES Bit of a gross one but I’m wondering if I’m in the wrong here my partner constantly complains that I leave skid marks in the toilet. I’m not going out of my way to leave them there but we have a VERY clingy one year old so going to the toilet in itself is a bit of a challenge at the moment, let alone scrubbing the toilet when I’m done. My partner gets genuinely upset about it and has even gone so far as to call me 'an animal' because of it. Again, I’m not going out of my way to do this and when he brings it up (it comes up a lot), my response is, “it’s a fucking toilet”. Like that’s where the shit is meant to go, right?! Is it really that bad if I leave the odd skid mark on the toilet bowl? BROKEN UP BUT CAN’T CUT TIES AND STILL HANGING OUT My partner and I split up 3 weeks ago. We dated for 5 1/2 years and had a house, a dog and a cat. It was a mutual breakup and it really came down to wanting different things and a lack of communication. Closer to the end we got quite distant which helped me come to terms with making the decision. After we broke up we started spending time together and talking through th

Life in a Throuple. “People Often Sexualise Our Relationship But We Are Just 3 People Who All Love Each Other.” Uncut with Camp Throuple
Have you ever wondered what life would be like living with not one but two partners? Joining the podcast today are the wonderful Alana, Kevin and Megan who are a throuple! Kevin and Alana were in a relationship for 3 years when Alana expressed that she was bi curious and had thought about experimenting with a woman. They met Megan on a dating app skewed towards non monogamy. Fast forward a few months and the three of them were in love and started their journey as a throuple! There’s so much curiosity around how relationships that don’t follow the traditional dynamics work and often a fear of the unknown or the unfamiliar. We spoke about: How other people in their life reacted to their relationship after they had kept it a secret for a year How their relationship is often over sexualised and viewed as a ‘kink’ How Megan adjusted to coming into an established relationship Navigating insecurities, communication, inside jokes and conflict Their unusual sleeping arrangement Finding out that some of their friends and family had been in polyamorous relationships in secret for a long time!

We chat: Hair loss, transplants and visiting Türkiye Alternative therapies using placentas What's in store for Christmas & Christmas traditions Having very 'curious' 5 year old asking about Santa Your best talent quest memories There's an Aussie comedian named Steph Broadbridge who created a musical parody 'Raygun the Musical' and was going to launch the show over the weekend. However, Steph was forced to cancel the show after Raygun's lawyers sent a cease and desist letter saying that Raygun owned the dance moves and that they were committed to protecting her intellectual property and ensuring that her brand remained strong and respected. There are a lot of opinions online (and within our team) about who is in the right and the wrong in this scenario.

Ask Uncut - Christmas Gifts, Photo Albums of Exes and Shared Middle Names
Hey Lifers, Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions with our best but technically unqualified advice. Britt is nudging for an honorary doctorate! Laura can have orgasms in her sleep. We're aware that this is likely a unicorn and very fortunate skill but have you ever had one in your sleep? Britt has an unfortunate injury and somehow zooper doopers have entered the chat. Vibes for the week: Keeshia The Later Daters on Netflix Britt Meet Cutes NYC Instagram Laura Pink Santa by Tanya Hennessy Then we jump into your questions! BUY XMAS GIFT FOR NEW BOYFRIEND OR TOO SOON? I’ve been dating this guy for about 9 weeks now, it’s going great, amazing communication, sex etc etc. From the get go we’ve been straight about not dating anyone else, pausing the apps etc. With Christmas coming up, I’m wondering do you think it would be too full on to get him a small gift? It will have been ~3 months of dating by then, he’s really easy to buy for and I know what I’d get him but also am aware of him being spooked in the past when he hasn’t felt 100% sure. He’s said numerous times how much he’s enjoying this and wanting to continue seeing me and see where things go. I’m worried if I get him a Christmas gift he might freak out? I don’t expect one in return but have seen a few small things I know he’d love. Too much too soon? Or okay? IS IT NORMAL FOR BF TO SAY HE WOULD SLEEP WITH FRIENDS IF SINGLE? My boyfriend has been talking to a girl who he met online. He said she is only a friend but he would sleep with her if he was single. He tried to justify this by saying he would sleep with any of his friends if he was single and they wanted to as it is just sex. He said that all men think like this. My question is… is this true that all men think like this and he is just being honest, or is it a strange comment? KEEPING PHOTO ALBUM OF EX My fiancé recently got some of his old belongings from his parent’s home as they’re currently going through a move. In the items was a photo album of him and his long term ex who we happen to have had issues over in the past. I found the photo album hidden in a wardrobe after he told me “yuck, they can go in the bin”. My question is, do you think keeping photos of an ex is a red flag and why do you think he’d want to keep them? SIBLING WANTS TO USE SAME MIDDLE NAME AS MY KID So I had my baby in May and he’s the first grandchild of the family. His middle name is my dad’s first name.

PART 2 - The Truth About Addiction Uncut with Johann Hari
What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? Johann Hari's personal journey into the heart of the war on drugs led him to ask this question and to write the book that gave rise to his viral TED talk, viewed more than 62 million times. Johann Hari is a best selling author of many books like Chasing the Scream, the War on Drugs, Lost Connections, Stolen Focus, and Magic Pill - The extraordinary benefits and disturbing risks of new weight loss drugs.” We previously released an episode with Kate DeAraugo about her personal experiences with addiction and today we wanted to look at addiction a bit more broadly and unpack how it comes about and why so many of our loved ones are battling with addiction or substance abuse issues. We spoke about: The difficult narrative of loving an addict and not knowing what to do to help The story of what causes addiction isn’t accurate Why blaming it all on biology isn’t helpful, nor is blaming it all on personal choices Policies based on shame and punishment make addiction worse How much control we actually have over our own willpower People with ‘addictive’ personalities The money-happiness trap; the hedonic effect You can find all of Johann’s books and further information at his website.

The Show Goes On. Tones and I Suffered A Miscarriage Before The Biggest Show of Her Career
Hey lifers! Did you ever compete in the school talent competition? Britt and Laura share the talents that they were proud enough to share with their friends and family. They were subsequently mocked for them! Have you ever accidentally posted something to social media that was meant for close friends or a group chat? British actress Betsy Blue English 'called out' Tammy Hembrow for copying her wedding cake; except she didn't mean to call her out, she meant to share it on her close friends story! We read out some of the funniest accidents that you have caused yourself. A few days ago, Tones and I shared a heartbreaking post with a caption explaining that she had suffered a miscarriage during the rehearsal of her recent Melbourne show. Tones went on to perform the following night, with very few people knowing the pain and the loss that she was experiencing. Today we have a chat about miscarriage and discuss: The pressure women may feel to 'get back to it' and act as though nothing has happened. Laura's experiences of having multiple miscarriages. The feelings of loneliness that miscarriage can force you into feeling. Tones bravely sharing this to reduce the shame, guilt and stigma women feel around pregnancy loss. Whether we should re think 'not telling anyone' until 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Hey Lifers! Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions. There's a woman who found out her partner was cheating on her, so she took the urn that had his grandmother's ashes in it! Is this the ultimate bargaining tool or kind of cruel? We then asked you for some of the funny things you've taken during a break up. Vibes for the week: Keeshia Simple Interval Training app Laura Mco Beauty Instant Contour Cream Bronzer Britt Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy on Netflix Then we jump into your questions! PARENTS GAVE MORE MONEY TO MY SIBLING A couple of years ago, my sibling got married and my parents gave them a substantial monetary gift for their wedding (I got a 1/3 of the amount for my wedding the year before, but was still so grateful for anything). A few months after their wedding, they wanted to buy a house and were loaned the entire deposit from my parents to pay back. A couple of years on, they have not paid a cent back and my parents haven’t asked for it either. I have received approximately 50k less than them over the past 3 years and now that there’s been no repayments or discussions about this, I’m starting to become bitter. They seem to be living a comfortable life and can certainly afford to do more than my parents can. I’m frustrated at both my sibling and parents but don’t want this to seem like I am only chasing money- I want there to be accountability. How would you handle this with your family members? GETTING FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHILST ENGAGED I am in a relationship of almost 9 years and we are engaged. He is the most amazing person ever and ticks all the boxes but the sexual attraction and lust has left for me. I’m starting to have feelings for someone else which is controlling a lot of my emotions at the moment and it’s clouding my judgement!! My fiance and I have just bought a house and have a 11 month old puppy. His parents have gone guarantors for our place too. I feel like I’m stuck in a rock and a hard place with which way to go about it. Do I stay with my current fiance because he is the sweetest guy who would do anything for me or follow my head and heart and take a chance on this other person or even just try it out being single for a while?

The Truth About Addiction. Uncut with Kate DeAraugo
We initially got to know Kate DeAraugo in 2005 when she won the crown of Australian Idol! She was just 18 years old. But her post Idol journey was anything but a fairytale; it spiralled into addiction and legal troubles. In 2017, Kate was convicted of drug possession, drug driving and weapons possession. This conversation with Kate is a deeply honest recount of what it can be like when you live with addiction. Kate has what a lot of us would describe as an addictive personality, someone who took everything to the extreme. She says that when she drank, she drank too much. When she ate, she ate too much. When she loved, she loved too much. These behaviours took Kate to some fairly dark places. Kate shares: After winning Idol, the only thing anyone spoke about was her body Record labels saying she needed to lose weight and having full body liposuction at age 19 The narrative of addicts being from ‘broken homes’ isn’t realistic What led her to seeking out drugs in the first place and how that spiralled into more heavy substance abuse The toll it took on her family How families can help support an addict & what her family learnt that ‘worked’ How addicts think and what happens inside their minds Addiction is a lifelong condition, but sobriety is a responsibility You can find more from Kate at her website You can listen to Kate’s podcast Why Do I Feel This Way Laura mentioned a famous study about addiction that you can watch in Johann Hari’s Ted talk here You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Britt is having a bit of a mid wedding planning crisis. Actually a big mid wedding crisis. If you've planned a wedding, did you chop and change your mind on things like your dress in the lead up to your wedding? We discuss the paradox of choice and decision fatigue. It's sledging season! A new term for how people are strung along over the Christmas/New Years period, delaying a break-up or continuing dating someone they know they're not interested in.

Ask Uncut - Sleeping With Strangers, Birthday Gifts & Giving An Ex Another Go
Hey Lifers! Laura has had to go on a 'fishing' expedition in the grossest of places all thanks to Lola! Has your kid ever 'dropped' something valuable in a place that they shouldn't have? Britt tried to replace the shrine but failed epically and has had to employ a man who woke up in our friend's bed to fix the problem! Vibes for the week: Britt - Picking up a new hobby. Basketball Laura - India Oxenberg's book 'Still Learning' Keeshia - By Maay Brooklyn work bag Then we get into your questions! DO I START SLEEPING WITH STRANGERS OR JUST HAVE NO SEX LIFE THANKS TO MY PARTNER? My partner and I have been together for 15 years. We have a 7 year old child who we love. But our sex life is 0. We talked a few months ago about opening our relationship. We both agreed and didn't have many rules. A few weeks later, I slept with an old friend. My partner was unhappy to say the least. Since then he convinced me to let him keep sleeping around but I can only see people I don't know. Now my question is... I'm not comfortable with people I don't know. Sex to me is intimate and needs friendship. Do I start sleeping with strangers or just have no sex for the rest of my life? MY HUSBAND GAVE ME MONEY AS A BDAY PRESENT My husband recently gave me $400 in cash for my birthday present. For context, we have a joint account and each has a personal account and we get paid equal amounts in our personal accounts every week. We keep a money tin at home where we keep a bit of cash to the side to spend on joint expenses. The $400 birthday money came from our shared tin. At the time I was super grateful and thankful for the cash gift. He also took me out to dinner and paid for that with his personal money which was part of the gift. He said the money is to go towards getting a necklace made that I’ve been wanting for a long time. We aren’t huge on gift giving but I can’t help but feel a little disappointed that he didn’t put any time into thinking about a nice present for me that wasn’t just grabbing money out of the tin and putting it in a card. He did cook me breakfast and show me love in other ways on my birthday but I wish he put some thought into a gift for me. We do live very busy lives and are both self employed and work together so I don’t want to be too hard on him as life has been pretty hectic for both of us lately. How would you bring this up, if even at all? Or do I just move on and stop even thinking about it? Maybe I’m just being completely unreasonable. DO I GIVE HIM ANOTHER GO AFTER HE DUMPED ME FOR ANOTHER GIRL? My partner & I were together for 2 years, lived together, were speaking of marriage & kids within the coming year. 8 m

How Productivity Has Hijacked Your Life - Uncut with Israa Nasir
Ever feel as though you’re not quite able to ‘do it all?’ During the past 2 decades, there has been a huge push into the world of ‘hustle culture.’ So many of us feel like we are constant hot messes, rushing around to try and get a million things in our day done. Joining the podcast today is Israa Nasir, New York based psychotherapist and author of the new book “Toxic Productivity.” Israa is here today to help us let go of the belief that our value is defined by how busy and successful we feel. Israa speaks about this as someone who currently has skin in the game, not from a place of hindsight. We are all having to manage this idea of toxic productivity now! We chat: Productivity no longer just applies to work. It’s infiltrated our romantic relationships, friendships, parenting and personal health Productivity guilt; the guilty feeling when we ‘relax’ The need for external validation can look like people pleasing or a workaholic Chaotic state of a dysregulated nervous system becoming familiar e.g. ”I do my best work under pressure.” “I thrive in chaos.” Dynamics that keep us constantly busy, but never satisfied such as; self-worth, shame, social comparison, burnout, and perfectionism Cultivating a healthier perspective on achievement to understand, manage, and shift our intense emotions You can find more from Israa, including her new book at her website You can follow Israa on Instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Hey Lifers, It's officially Britt's bangiversary! She's tried to dupe Ben into a fancy gift but Ben's aware of her antics. We speak about the advice we got from our grandmothers. Some of it hasn't aged particularly well. We might have found the world's most conflict avoidant man; the man who *likely has faked his own death to ditch his family and go to a woman in Europe. There was a video filmed back in June (two months before Ryan Borgwardt's disappearance). It shows a man on a bike asking if he should go to Uzbekistan to meet a woman, despite being married. After the video went viral, authorities say that the video isn't Ryan. Also, how do you like your labia? We've spoken about symmetry, length and comfort when it comes to labia but labia puffing seems new. We ask: Is our generation more obsessed than ever with labia? Do you think this trend highlights empowerment or unnecessary pressure for perfection?

Has your dog ever caused you to be in the most embarrassing moment of your life? Laura is having a bit of trouble getting Lola to give up something that she loves. Lola is in negotiations and Laura is struggling to reach a mutually agreed upon solution! Vibes for the week: Britt: Martha on Netflix Laura: Marigold’s Magic Stars book by Samantha Wills Keeshia: RecipeTin Eats Tonight Cookbook Then we get into your questions! I CAN'T SLEEP WHEN WE ARE IN THE SAME BED I’ve been with my partner for about four years, he’s 33 and I’m 27. Everything’s great BUT the one thing that I cannot do with him, is sleep in the same bed. This is largely due to his snoring and sleep noises combined with my light sleeping. He would love to share a bed but I seriously just don’t sleep when I’m in the same bed. We always have great sex, have a cuddle at night, but then I’ll go to my room to sleep and then will wake each other up in the morning with a cuddle. It’s been a great arrangement but I get so worked up and worried about ever going away together. I feel like when we do share a room I’m sleep deprived, miserable and resentful. We want to go overseas together soon but again I get worried about future endeavours together because I’m scared I’ll never be able to sleep in the same bed and have a good sleep. Is this a sign that it’s not going to work? Or do we just have to keep making arrangements for separate beds where we can, and I get used to no sleep when the occasions arise that we do need to share a bed? Also just for context, he has undergone nasal surgery to straighten his septum in order to try fix the snoring and I’ve invested in so many different types of ear plugs but nothing has worked. Help please BOYFRIEND SUPPORTS TRUMP I love my boyfriend but I think he supports Trump. After Trump just got elected, he said “well what did he do that was actually so bad the first time?” He thinks the hate against him is a media conspiracy. Can I be in a relationship with someone who feels this way about misogynistic people? HOLDING IN MY GAS AROUND HIM I’ve been seeing this guy for about 3 months now, we’re exclusive and it’s going well. It’s the first time I’m getting serious with someone so the first time I’ve been hanging out with a guy quite a lot over night/all weekend. The issue is I am quite a gassy person… I don’t have any stomach issues. I just tend to need to do a few pop offs after big meals or in the morning, and I also poop quite often too. I have been WAY too nervous to poop around him as I get scared he’s going to go in after me and smell it. I also

Banning Kids Under 16 From Social Media, Forgetful Anniversaries & Saying Yes To The Dress!
Hey lifers! Laura and Matt both forgot their 2nd wedding anniversary. Do you celebrate each year?Are you the person who remembers 'dates'? We're talking anniversaries, birthdays, 'firsts' etc. How about your partner? What happens if one of you is a date celebrator and the other isn't? Britt has picked her wedding dress and Laura wants to see it! Did you share your wedding dress with your friends before your actual wedding day? The government has announced proposed legislation to be introduced to parliament that would ban kids under 16 from using social media, even if they have parental consent. Initially we thought this was great. But once we scratched the surface we realised that maybe it wasn't as good as it initially appeared. We speak about the pros and cons of implementing age restrictions on social media, whether it's a bit of a performative action, how it would be implemented and if there are alternative ways to protect kids online. Britt got to enjoy Coldplay and Laura got to enjoy Chris Martin walk solo down Bondi beach looking very, very 'cool'!

HE DOESN'T WANT ME TO USE OUR EMBRYOS My ex husband left me & after 4 years of IVF. We have embryos in storage (we have one beautiful little IVF baby girl) who is my entire world. But I would love to make her a big sister one day too! He has so easily just said let’s donate the spare embryos. I am mortified by how easily he has suggested this and absolutely not interested in donating, I want them! They’re my babies. I walked through the toughest times of my life undergoing IVF and on my 8th transfer, I got my beautiful girl. I’m 33 and I don’t know if I should freeze my eggs and get a donor sperm .. or wait till I ‘might’ meet someone. PSA - I will continue to pay for storage for my embryo babies as I love them too! I also didn’t see our marriage being something that would end but he clearly fell out of love with me & left me 10 months postpartum. CHRISTMAS WITH PARTNER’S FAMILY I have been invited to spend Xmas with my partner's family interstate (we are mid 20s and dated for almost 6 years). My family has been disapproving/disappointed when I told them about not having Xmas at home and tried to guilt trip me out of accepting the invite. However, I really do want to go. How do I approach the topic again with them and is it wrong to spend one Xmas away from your family? THE SEX ISN'T GOOD. HOW DO I NAVIGATE THIS? I've been in a relationship with this guy for 6 months and everything is great. He is a wonderful guy and we share the same sense of humour. He could be my person, however there is one glaring problem. The sex is not good. He's a jack hammer kind of guy where he seems to only be interested in

Single Needs A Rebrand. Uncut with Elizabeth Gilbert. Eat, Pray, Love.
Elizabeth Gilbert is one of the most brilliant authors of our time. She authored ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ which sold over 12 million copies and was then turned into a movie starring Julia Roberts. She’s also written books like ‘Committed’, ‘Big Magic’ and ‘City of Girls’. Elizabeth shares so many teachings around vulnerability, connectedness, living a life that is led by love, and now how to become ‘a relaxed woman, pushing back on the expectations of what society wants from you’. Today we spoke about: Being an award winning writer who wrote about men and was sympathetic to the male experience, until she wrote the number 1 ‘chick-lit’ book of our time. Funnily enough, the award nominations dried up. The shared experience of having everything that we are meant to ‘want’ and feeling so deeply unhappy. How Liz used to drain herself by giving her everything to relationships, and how free she now feels being emotionally autonomous The facts about how marriage affects women: married women don’t live as long as single women, they’re more likely to report being depressed and anxious, they are more likely to have autoimmune conditions, more likely to be addicted to substances etc. How all of our lives could be titled ‘not exactly what I had in mind’ The complexity of falling in love with someone knowing it will hurt other people that you care about Learning about loss through grief You can find Liz’s Aus and NZ tour dates You can follow Liz on Instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater at the Wicked Premiere & Should You Loyalty Test Your Partner?
Hey guys! Britt and Keeshia have spent the entire weekend together and they're the friends that ask you if you can come to Africa tomorrow. Laura shared a story about some of the early days of Marlie's life that aren't quite her best moments! Laura would love to know how many times your kid accidentally rolled off the bed? We unpack the goss from the Wicked premiere! We were interested in how they would approach the PR of the film given the reputational damage that Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater suffered after having a rumoured 'affair.' We wondered whether they would take a 'Don't Worry Darling" approach (Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde) where they kept space from each other in public, or if they would lean in to their romance! There was one line in the movie that we are shocked they kept in! Plus, what would bring you to 'loyalty test' your partner? We speak about the 'how' and the 'why' you may get to a place where you consider conducting a loyalty test. Is the entrapment just as bad as the potential cheating?

Ask Uncut - Do I Tell Him About My Past As a Sex Worker?
Hey Lifers! Happy Halloween!! Some of our team are more into it than others and you can come to us for all your budget, last minute Halloween costume needs! Are you a Halloween person? Laura's kids are super excited and have been counting down the days, while Britt has outed herself as a bit of a grinch. Vibes for the week: Keeshia - A Man Called Otto film (on apple TV) Laura - Jailbreak. Love on the Run on Netflix Britt - Dessert Little Moons Mochi Balls WE'D LOVE IF YOU COULD TAKE THE TIME TO HAVE YOUR SAY ON OUR LIFE UNCUT SURVEY Then we get into your questions! DO I TELL HIM ABOUT MY PAST AS A SEX WORKER? When I was 18, I had huge body insecurity and felt like I was unlovable unless I got my boobs done. I also could not find a job, and thought the way to pay for my boobs was to get into escorting. I was very young and naive, and had only had one sexual experience before getting into it, so it was quite unsettling and traumatic. I did it for three months, but couldn’t continue because of my mental health. I ended up going back when I was age 19 and saw a client a handful of times, before deciding I could never go back. I then entered a fairly toxic relationship. When that ended I got therapy because I was in a bad place, and it changed my life. I have now got a great career and finished my degree, and have met my now partner of one year. I am now 24. My question is, should I tell him about my past? Do I need to? If so, how should I do it? Unfortunately I feel like there is still so much stigma around the sex industry. While he is incredible, I have heard him make a comment about a stripper he once slept with, saying she was “just a stripper” as if it meant she was less than. Aside from that, he is so caring, thoughtful and emotionally intelligent. He is very secure and perhaps would struggle to understand what I was going through at 18/19. I really want to be with him forever, and I don’t want anything to risk coming between us, but I feel like he might look at me differently if he knows. I have come so far since I was a scared, insecure 18/19 year old and I don’t want the decisions I made to prevent me from being happy now. Would love for your advice on how I could bring it with him and if it is even worth doing, as it is not like I think about my past everyday! It is only when something triggers it. MY BOYFRIEND IS MOVING IN WITH A WOMAN I have been long distance with my partner of 5 years for a little over a year now (he moved for work). He is the most amazing partner and definitely my penguin. In the last 6 months he has made a good female friend at work. I have met her quite a few times. She is lovely and we get along very well. Recently both my partner and his female friend have had a change in living situations and he asked me if I w

Is There Such A Thing As a Moral or Ethical Family Vlogger? Monetising Kids Online
Hey Lifers! Britt has potentially found a new life... as a trad wife! Either that or she's going off grid more often. Laura has had a bit of a mishap spreading her beautiful grandparent's ashes. How do you feel about sharing your kids online? Where is the line when it comes to kids being paid to create online content? You might remember the horrible story of the mum, Ruby Franke, who was charged with 4 counts of child abuse earlier this year. There is a brand new film called 'Mormon Mom Gone Wrong' that came out on Oct 26 that details the story of the Franke family and their youtube account that had 2 million subscribers. Shari Franke is now 21 years old and has shared her testimony in court about her experiences of abuse and family vlogging. She states that there is no such thing as a moral and ethical family vlogger. We unpack these questions: Should children have a say in family vlogging content? What are the ethical implications of involving kids in content? Can you get informed consent from kids? How should kids be ‘compensated’ if they are making content that makes money? Does it matter if they make money? Does it change when it becomes a significant income source?

Ask Uncut - A Drunk Hen, Who Is Your Grandma and Holidaying with Exes
Hey Lifers Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! There is a lot of weird news in the world today... mostly the guy who chose to put 15 hard boiled eggs in his backside. Britt's partner Ben has had a hair makeover. Did you 'plan' your hair look for your wedding in terms of colour/length etc? Did you opt for something that was your 'look' rather than going for a short term hair change? Vibes for the week: Keeshia: Sweet Bobby on Netflix Britt: Instax camera Laura: Fallen Angel Podcast Then we jump into your questions! DID WE DO THE RIGHT THING BY THE DRUNK HEN? We just wrapped up a hen's night where the hen KO'd herself pretty early, before the festivities were finished - the MOH got her home safely (talking 7.30) and the rest of the party headed home. We'd already organised some entertainment, so instead of going out to where it'd been organised for, we made the call to stay in the hotel room and keep an eye on the hen, and enjoyed the entertainment (just the two of us). The groom found out and blew up - said we put the hen in danger, that it was unforgivable, and he doesn't want anything to do with either of us. Major drama! My question - Did we do the wrong thing? Is his blow up and subsequent major drama valid? Or were we fine to have a little fun while we still took care of our friend? It's created so much drama a week out from the wedding, is all the hatred warranted, or is he just being a complete dick? I DON'T LIKE THEM CALLING HER GRANDMA I have a new baby who is now 3 months old, and when I was pregnant my dad’s partner asked to be called Grandma which at the time I felt a bit put on the spot and was like ‘sure’. After thinking about it and chatting with my partner I am not sure how comfortable I am with her being “Grandma”. For context she has been with my dad since I was 18 which I think is relevant because I have never lived with her and she has had no hand in raising me and to be honest we have never had a great relationship. I feel like my mum and my partner's mum have done the hard yards to earn that title which she has not. I also don’t want to confuse my child for example if she is asking on Mother’s Day why “Grandma” doesn’t get a card or present and having to explain she is not actually her Grandma. So basically throughout the end of my pregnancy and having a new baby I never ended up having the convo and tbh I

Are You the 'Fixer'? Unpacking High-Functioning Codependency with Terri Cole
Terri is a licensed psychotherapist and relationship expert. She is the author of ‘Boundary Boss’ and ‘Too Much’. This is the third time Terri has joined us on the podcast! The first time was to speak about cheating, the second was to speak about boundaries and today Terri is joining us to unpack codependence! But, not the standard idea of what codependency is. Today we speak about what Terri refers to as ‘high functioning codependence’ and how we are able to recognise when we are doing ‘too much’ for other people, and need to prioritise ourselves more. Spoiler, none of us identified as being codependent… until we learnt what high functioning codependency looked like and the alarm bells RANG! We speak about: High functioning codependency isn’t what we typically think of a a ‘codependent person’ They’re highly capable, the person everyone depends on, the problem solver, the ‘fixer’ Resentment inventories! We all need to identify where we are ‘over giving’ and ‘over functioning’ Being hyper independent, “I got it” and not wanting to ask for help or owing other people anything How it all contributes to burnout and cognitive overload Do you identify with any of these labels? They might be new to you! -approval seeking, -auto fixing/auto accommodator -self sacrificing -hyper helping You can listen to Terri’s previous episodes with us here: People Pleasers Anonymous - Better Boundaries and Once A Cheater, Are They Always A Cheater?

The Victoria's Secret Rebrand & Can You Ditch A Friend Who Keeps Going Back to Their Toxic Ex?
Hey Lifers! Laura has had a weekend away with the friends that she hunted down on Linked in (it's hard to make friends as adults right??). Something that happened on the weekend raised the question for her of when to intervene to protect your kids from something vs when to let them work it out for themselves and build resilience. We're curious to know what you would have done in this situation. Is a more inclusive rebrand enough to save Victoria's Secret? Last week we saw the first Victoria's Secret runway show since 2019. They've tried to be more inclusive with different body shapes and sizes. We speak about the past controversies that Victoria's Secret has been involved in and how the messaging of the company was so problematic. Should companies with a history of exclusion or problematic practices be given the opportunity to evolve and change, or is it too late for brands like Victoria’s Secret? Plus we speak about the friends of Dave Grohl's wife Jordyn Blum threatening to end their friendship if she goes back to him after he has fathered a kid outside of their marriage. Have you ever had to cut off a friend because you were so sick of seeing them go back to a problematic partner? Have you ever felt really exhausted from being the emotional support to a friend, kind of playing therapist, when they seemed to never take advice on board?

Ask Uncut - A Naked French Man and His Metronome Pen*s
Hey Lifers, Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer all of your deep, dark and burning questions. Laura has endured one of the most awkward experiences we could imagine. It involves a naked French man on a stage, a crowd and tears in the front row. Vibes for the week: Laura: Book the trip! Book any trip with your friends/family that you have been planning. Britt: Podcast Kill List by Wondery Keeshia: Cloud Nine Curl Wand Then we jump into your questions! MY PARTNER DOESN'T WANT TO WEAR CONDOMS BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE ON CONTRACEPTION We unpack a situation from love is blind where the male partner expressed that he doesn't find 'condom sex' pleasurable. The female partner says that she does not want to go on a hormonal contraception. What do you do if you and your partner don't 'agree' to using condoms during sex? HOW MANY DATES BEFORE I HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE? I am recently single and back on the market after nearly 4 years. I’ve come out of my past relationship with a lot of confidence and have been using the dating apps a bit and even got myself some friends with benefits. I have found myself in a situation where I like two guys that I have met but I’ve only been on 3 or so dates with each of them over the period of a month. So my question is, how long/how many dates can you go on with people before you need to make a choice. And when do I need to stop my friends with benefits? I don’t want to end up in a situation where they find out about each other and I end up with neither. I don’t know if I am being selfish/giving player vibes. I just put all my eggs in one basket like I did with my ex and ended up in a relationship 1.5years longer than I should have. Please send help DO I INVITE MY DAD'S GIRLFRIEND WHO HE CHEATED ON MY MUM WITH? I am getting married in 3 weeks. My parents have been separated for nearly 25 years. My dad had been in a relationship since they separated, but my mum has always stayed single. The problem is, my dad’s latest girlfriend, who he has been with for at least 6 years, is one of my mum's old friends, and someone he cheated with while still with my mum. My partner and I have been engaged for nearly 2 years, and I told my mum when we got engaged that my dad's girlfriend would be getting invited to the wedding. I was hoping that with nearly 2 years notice she would be able to come to terms with it and be somewhat civil about it. My mum has recently opened up and told me that she blames this woman for, in my mum's words, "ruining her life". I am not close with my dad’s family, so his girlfriend will be the only person he really knows at the wedding. My mum thinks that me inviting my dad's girlfriend to the wedding is me picking their s

Monsters. Whose Story Is It? A Trial by Social Media and Can You Ask For Your Ex to Pay You Back?
Hey Lifers, Britt and Laura won a big, fancy radio award for best podcast hosts!! Laura is finishing off sailing the high seas on her first cruise so producer Keeshia is filling in for her today. Both her and Britt have unexpected and uncalled for hangovers from the awards night. Britt's whole family think Keeshia is a huge creep! Last week we spoke about Monica and Stephen on Love Is Blind and Stephen’s use of ‘therapy speak’ in the pods to make him seem more emotionally intelligent and in tune. More episodes have been released and... it's not good for Monica and Stephen. But, something happened when they were 'breaking up' and it had us questioning whether you should or shouldn't ask an ex to pay you back for any money they may owe you. Have you asked for someone to pay you after you've broken up? What was the amount? Two shows are currently trending about the Menendez brothers on Netflix. One is a documentary that involved the brothers who are currently in prison serving consecutive life sentences for the murder of their parents. The other is a dramatised TV series based on 10 different perspectives and directed by Ryan Murphy. Ryan Murphy is known for his controversial true crime dramas like Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the People vs. O.J. Simpson , and The Assassination of Gianni Versace .` We discuss: Whether it’s ethical to create a series that includes traumatic events without consulting with the people most affected by it, Whether sensationalising true crime stories has gone too far, How the public perception of victims of abuse has evolved, and The power of social media in turning attention to these stories.

Ask Uncut - Meeting Up with Male Colleagues, Family Inheritance & A 4 Year Old's Makeup Kit
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer all of your deep and burning questions! Britt's sister Sheri has had her juice go missing from her fridge and the culprit is not a character that you'd suspect!! Have you had a tradie do something that they weren't supposed to at your house? Vibes for the week: Laura: Laundry Apron with pouch Britt: Netflix Nobody Wants This Keeshia: Emily Henry Beach Read Then we jump into your questions! WHEN IS IT APPROPRIATE TO MEET UP WITH MALE COLLEAGUES? I am a single, attractive (thanks genetics) female working in sports, which entails mostly male coworkers, travel and a lot of late nights. My question is, when is or isn’t it appropriate to meet up with male coworkers, particularly one-on-one, outside of work? I try to err on the side of daytime or group activities, however, I do feel like I have genuine friendships that sometimes are hurt because of my fear of an interaction appearing inappropriate to others because of the male/female thing, or for fear of a coworker I *thought* was harmless taking things in an inappropriate direction after a few drinks (it’s happened before). Am I over thinking this or are my guidelines for myself appropriately placed? Worth noting that 99% of these men are married. DO I GIVE THE FAMILY SOME MONEY OR RESPECT MY GRANDMA'S WISHES? My grandma passed away. She had been estranged from my parents and siblings and all other family members for over 15 years. During those 15 years I’ve had a close relationship with her. She made me her enduring power of attorney (her decision maker) and also the director of her will. My parents and siblings have had hate and bitterness towards her and completely wiped her, but I never experienced anything they did so my relationship with my grandma was never affected. My grandma has left me with everything including some money. Do I respect her wishes and not give any of the family money or belongings or do I divide it because they want it and said they deserve it? CAN I GET A 4 YR OLD MAKEUP FOR CHRISTMAS? I have a four year old daughter that is obsessed with makeup and clothes. We don’t mind the clothes, she loves dresses and tutus and wears one everyday, even to bed! But I’m a little worried that she loves makeup so much. She sees me put on makeup for work everyday and I explain that everyone is

Your Inner Critic & Why You're Not Thriving At Work. Uncut with Megan Dalla-Camina
There is a lot of discussion around women's empowerment in general, but women's leadership in particular is a topic that we are still defining and understanding. We’ve spoken before about gender pay gaps, glass ceilings, sticky floors, opportunity cost and the expectations on women to ‘do it all’ before. Megan Dalla-Camina is a three time best selling author and award winning women’s leadership and gender diversity expert. She is also the founder and CEO of the fastest growing women's ed-tech platform ‘Women rising’. Today’s chat is about understanding the reasons behind why ⅘ women feel as though they are not thriving at work and the little voice in our head tells us we just aren’t doing a good enough job. Megan calls this the archetypes of the inner critic: The perfectionist The beauty queen The sceptic The imposter The people pleaser The outsider The comparer The good girl The overachiever The self doubter The chameleon The empath The ideal mother We also speak about: What mini burnout looks like and how you feel when the mini burnouts happen one after the other Motherhood paradox of the expectation to work like they don’t have children but raise kids as though they don’t have work responsibilities People pleasing, trying to be an agreeable, easy to work with person and how that leads to you not getting what you deserve at work How we can utilise this information to help us feel more comfortable in finding what is going to be ‘success’ to us and make us genuinely happy Feminine vs masculine ‘traits’ in leadership You can find more from Megan at her website and Instagram You can get Megan's book Women Rising You can take the https://megandallacamina.com/innercriticquiz-questions/ You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx See <a href="https://omnystu

‘That’s Triggering!’ Is Therapy-Speak Changing Our Relationships?
Hey Lifers! Britt looks like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson today, but the dress code for her wedding has caused an unintentional stir. The Europeans think she's a bit of a creep! Last week Laura told us how much she loved the reptiles at the reptile park and in a relatively ironic turn of events, she might have 15 of her own coming to her new home! A few days ago, Love Is Blind US (Netflix) released season 7 of the show. There was a particular moment where one of the contestants, Stephen admits to Monica that he has emotionally cheated in the past. He then went on to say “we went through therapy. We worked it out” and “I’m actively in therapy to talk about these things.” We spoke about how speaking about therapy in the dating landscape can be great, but it can also be used as a tactic to manipulate their date into thinking they're more emotionally intelligent than they are! Many women now say they prefer to date men who’ve been to therapy. Do men now use therapy as a badge of emotional depth? We also spoke about "therapy-speak" and the overuse of certain labels or phrases like triggering, trauma, narcissist, gaslighting and sociopath. Do you think the overuse of these terms dilutes the experiences of people who have endured genuine abuse or trauma? We also spoke about how we can spot when therapy-speak is being used manipulatively versus when it reflects genuine emotional growth.

PLEASE VOTE FOR US IN THE AUS PODCAST AWARDS Vibes: Britt - Will & Harper on Netflix Laura - Zoe Foster Blake book " Things Will Calm Down Soon" Keeshia - How to find the listed For Sale range or price on any listing on Domain or Real Estate Davey Hamilton Then we jump into your questions! SHOULD 'FAMILY PLANNING' BE ASKED BY MY BOSS? I’m a medical doctor going through my final years of subspecialty training. I had a missed miscarriage in April this year and had to ask for time off work to go through the miscarriage and I developed complications afterwards resulting in a hospital admission. This time off “had to be approved” by my head of department I was told. A few months later I interviewed for a Fellow job (a promotion) and was told I’m “not ready”. Then in my supervisor meeting a month or two later, my supervisor (who is the HOD) flatly asked me how my “family planning” is going?!? I feel very uncomfortable about this situation and feel like I’m being held back because I’m a mother hoping to have another child. I guess my question is: - Am I wrong to feel I’m being discriminated against? - Is there anything I should/could do about this? - Should I just suck it up and put up with it? Keep in mind these people have total control over my career progression in training and in the hospital WORKPLACE GIFTS When I first joined my workplace, within a short time there was the 40th birthday of one of the 9 staff members in our office. Despite there being no party that colleagues were invited to, there was a collection of money for a gift for this person. At the time I was in my early 20’s. Fast forward and I’ve recently had my 30th and had celebrations without my work colleagues invited (intimate small gatherings out of town). Now I didn’t receive a gift from my colleagues. No biggie I thought, whatever. But now another colleague is having his 60th and we’ve been invited by the family to lunch and there’s an office money collection for a present. TBH I’m like WTF! I don’t know if this gift is meant to be in lieu of maybe some free food at the party, but I’m not impressed. I kinda want to make a point and not put money in, but being in a small office, I know I will be talked about and so I’ll just cave to social pressure and put cash in… But have I missed some social cues here? Would love to know the girls thought HOW DO I GET THIS GUY OUT OF

What not to say about a pregnant woman's body
Hey Lifers! PLEASE VOTE FOR US IN THE AUS PODCAST AWARDS Laura went to the reptile park and had a brilliant time. She's also planted a new fear in a friend's child by accident. Are there activities that you feel like you can't do unless you have kids with you? Do you think you can recycle and reuse nudes? Do they have an expiry? Does it matter if they're taken while during the current relationship? Britt and Ben are on different sides of the fence for this one! We break down the new 'dating terminology' coming to 2025 that includes: Swamping No-habiting Fiscal attraction Loud dating Marmalading Digital ex-pression Are you meant to say anything to a woman who is pregnant? There is currently a huge amount of commentary about Margot Robbie's pregnant body. But, is this type of commentary only for celebrities and pap pics or do most women receive comments on their body when they're pregnant? We speak about how some comments are received in a different way to what they may be intended and how inappropriate some of the common types of comments are. We also spoke about Kate Winslet being labelled as 'brave' for being okay with her 'belly rolls' being on display during a topless scene in a new film that she stars in.

Ask Uncut - Can I Turn a Blind Eye to My Partner's Cheating?
Hey Lifers! PLEASE VOTE FOR US IN THE AUS PODCAST AWARDS Have you ever developed an allergy later in life? Laura may have developed a new one and it's impacting every aspect of her life and every pore in her body! Vibes for the week: Britt - Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask Keeshia - Huberman - Esther Perel: How to Find, Build & Maintain Healthy Romantic Relationships Laura - Into the Fire: The Lost Daughter on Netflix We mentioned our episode with Esther Perel Then we jump into the questions: IS IT BETTER TO TURN A BLIND EYE? Recently I found texts on my boyfriend of 5 years phone that appear to be organising to have sex with a sex worker, as well as messaging other girls to meet him out while he was working in another country (I don’t know if this ever eventuated). We don’t see each other much as I work in Aus and he works overseas for a lot of the year. He has a much higher sex drive than me and long distance/not much sex doesn’t bother me but it really bothers him. I haven’t told my boyfriend I know this yet and I haven’t told any family or friends. I know as soon as I tell anyone they will hate him and tell me the things that I would tell anyone else - to break up with him. The problem is I’m 30 next year, I want to have a baby in the next two years andI had my life pretty much sorted with him on paper. He has his faults but he is my best friend. The thing is, he makes an enormous amount of money and I don’t. In our future I know my children will be looked after and they won’t have to struggle. I know I won’t have to struggle. I come from a family who doesn’t have a lot of money and being with my boyfriend means I know I can take care of them better than if I’m single. Right now I don’t know whether to confront my boyfriend because I know as soon as I say this out loud I can’t take it back and it will mean that I have to break up with him as cheating is not something I want in a relationship. Is it morally wrong to just look the other way because of the benefits this relationship brings me, my family and my future family? I know this seems like an obvious answer but I know how hard life can be and being with him means my life will in some ways be easier with him in it. Or if this will always be in the back of my mind and ruin my happiness even with the security it brings. Help. Please. I feel like I’m old, have nothing to show for myself and I’m scared I’ll never be a mother if we break up now. HOW TO CHOOSE WED

Hey Lifers, PLEASE VOTE FOR US IN THE AUS PODCAST AWARDS Britt's jet lagged after her trip to Romania. It was somewhat eventful and she's now an experienced quake girly. Laura's daughter Marlie is about to graduate from preschool and we're curious to know what your graduation song was. Was it Green Day or... eye of the tiger? Now that Laura has had a week off and Marlie Mae is about to go to school, she's back considering having another child. Britt is strongly considering blackmail! If you already have kids and you’ve thought about having another, did you mention it to your kids? Did you want their thoughts on whether they’d like an extra sibling? A dating app has brought in a new feature to try and reduce dating fatigue and avoid analysis paralysis. Hinge will now stop you from matching with someone new if you have 8 or more messages waiting for a response from you. The idea is to make it a more conscious effort and only have a few conversations going at a time. If you're in the dating world, is this good news for you?

Ask Uncut - The Challenges of Long Distance Relationships
Hey lifers, Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions. This episode was recorded a week in advance as Britt is visiting Ben in Romania. Britt opens up about some of the challenges of long distance and what she’s really struggling with at the moment. Britt has also called one of our listeners a loser. We deeply apologise YourGirlSidney Do you think it’s okay to be in a relationship if you know that the person isn’t ‘the one’ (or end game) for you? How long is it okay to be ‘working’ this out? Does it depend on the age of the people in the relationship? Vibes for the week: Britt: Your Girl Sidney Keeshia: Medusa Wispy Light Human Hair Fringe - Air Bangs- Clip In Laura App Eat Club Then we get into your questions! HE WON’T GO DOWN ON ME & DOESN’T MAKE AN EFFORT TO PLEASURE ME I'm 21 and my male partner is 23. We have been together for 3 years. Since we have been together he has only gone down on me maybe 3 times in total for about 20 seconds. I have brought this up with him and asked why he doesn't do it and he replies with "I don't like it sorry" which is totally fine but when we do have sex I never get anything out of it as he never really tries to pleasure me. We have tried sex toys but I think he gets awkward about it and then it never happens again. I talk to my friends about it but all they say is tell me that my relationship is not right and tell me about how good they have it. Sometimes I wonder what I am missing out on. Every other part of our relationship is amazing because he is an amazing human who I love so much. Am I missing out ? And if so what the hell do I do? HE LIED ABOUT HAVING AN STI I’ve been dating my boyfriend for about 7-8months. He asked me to help him with a work medical claim, he sent over a pack of documents for me to read to help him write a letter. Reading the documents it said he had herpes. When we first started dating I made sure we both had sexual health checks - he was pushing to have sex without a condom, something I’ve never done and didn’t feel comfortable doing without the STI checks prior. The tests came back with no issues flagged so we started having unprotected sex. 7 months later I read this document - he said initially that “he forgot,” then ended up telling me he lied to me because he thought I would break up with him if I knew. Additional context: his previous girlfriend gave him herpes and also didn’t tell him until 2 months into dating. I don’t know what to do - I thought this guy was my pe

This photo was shared in a group chat before it was leaked to the media & the public. Now, following her diagnosis with gender dysphoria, Danielle works extensively as an advocate for transgender people, raising awareness in a quest for acceptance of diversity.

Are We All Too Busy For Friendships & Do You Lie To Your Partner?
Hey lifers, Keeshia is in the hot seat filling in Britt while she's in Romania. Have you ever accidentally done something illegal? Laura's renovation project has made Keeshia realise that she's been accidentally shoplifting for over a decade. Do you ever lie or withhold information from your partner? Do you hide packages or lie about new items that you've bought and say that you've had them forever? There's a tiktok from Thewestcoastmama that has us questioning what's normal and who is in the wrong. Today we take a deep dive on what friendship means to us and whether we're too quick to deprioritise friendship when other responsibilities rear their heads. We spoke about Simon Sinek and his conversation on the Prof G Podcast and his Youtube with Trevor Noah What are you currently looking for in friendship? Has that shifted over the years as your life has gone through different chapters? Is there too much pressure to maintain friendships when there are all of these other things that we are trying to do well? 92% of you have experienced a friendship breakup. Most of you think about the breakdown of a friendship more than the breakdown of a romantic relationship. We speak about our own experiences of friendship breakdowns and whether we would ever be able to reestablish those friendships.

Laura wants to live under the rainbow and is anti beige brigade. Matt wants a bright blue laundry. When it comes to the aesthetic of your house and you having opposing opinions to your partner, who gets final say? Vibes for this week: Keeshia: Perfect Wife on Disney Plus Laura: Figma Colour Wheel Britt: Tanologist Self Tan Drops Then we get into your questions! DO WE STILL HAVE TO GET THEM A WEDDING GIFT One of my closest friends is getting married in Canada, I am one of her bridesmaids and I am so stoked for it. Obviously to go to the wedding my partner and I have booked flights over to Canada (not cheap) and also booked the hotel that was chosen for the wedding party (also not cheap). I don’t mind about these costs because it's my close friend and it's a holiday to Canada! My partner and I have debated whether we should get them a wedding gift? I don’t mind getting one and like giving gifts, but my partner thinks we have already spent a lot of money going to the wedding. I’m curious to know what you guys think? Should you get someone a wedding gift if you have already invested $4,000 to get to the wedding and stay there. DO I DOUBLE MESSAGE HIM? My now ex boyfriend broke up with me a few months ago after I found out he was cheating on me. It was awful as we lived together and I went to uni not only with him but also with the other women. We were together for 3 years. Another guy I also go to uni with and used to date 5 years ago (my ex was aware and they were still really good friends) also broke up with his girlfriend he dated for a similar amount of time. We have always been friends ever since the breakup and I was also friends with his ex girlfriend. Fast forward to now, I am now a lawyer and finished with uni and don’t have to see my ex except at social occasions. I have caught up with this other guy a couple of times and we have had a vibe for about a month now. On Saturday he invited me to his house with a bunch of other lawyers from uni including my ex. After a lot of alcohol my ex and the other people left and this other guy asked me to stay and chat which I did. One thing led to another and we had sex and it was really good. He also said he really enjoyed it. I stayed the night where we hugged. He made me coffee and breakfast in the morning and took me home. A few hours after he dropped me off I

Should Your Employer See Your Socials & Gisele Pelicot Waiving Her Right To Anonymity
Hey Lifers, Sorry for the start of today's ep. Not sure what else to say about it to be honest. If you've had the 'back' lasered, how do you get it done? What's your therapists 'go to' position? Britt is headed to Romania to see Ben! She shares how some of the challenges of being in a long distance relationship have affected her and why she's looking forward to seeing him so much! Unions are pushing to keep bosses from 'trawling' social media and reprimanding employees because of what they're getting up to on the gram. It could be a faked sickie, or a perspective that doesn't align with the values of the business. Do you think employers should be able to reprimand their employees for things that they post on social media? We also speak about the brave woman Gisele Pelicot, who has chosen to waive her right to anonymity after her husband drugged her and allowed her to be sexually abused by 70+ men. We speak about the shift in the way that society views victimhood and the strength that it takes for victims to publicly share their stories to advocate for justice. We also look at the role the media and legal systems play in shaping the choices of survivors.

Hey Lifers, This is ask uncut where we answer all of your deep and burning questions after we've had a bit of a gasbag about our own personal dilemmas! Have you noticed that children's dolls are now wearing g-strings? How do you feel about that? Vibes for the week: Britt Netflix doco The Lie: The Murder of Grace Millane Laura Glass Podcast by Shameless Media Keeshia Love and Loss Piece by Zara Seidler Then we jump into your questions! PARTNER WATCHES PORN BEFORE WE HAVE SEX My fiancé and I have had issues in the bedroom for years. He’s struggling with anxiety and takes a medication which has massively affected his sex drive. Over the past few months he’s been asking me if I want to have sex, but it's always been after he’s been on his phone in bed, and already has a raging boner - so I assumed he’s watching porn. I looked at his google browser history on the computer we share (the same google browser on his phone), and it turns out he’s been watching porn right before asking me for sex, as I assumed. I know I shouldn’t have looked at his history but I was going crazy. I’m in two minds. One is complete jealousy as I feel like he needs another girl to turn him on before he can sleep with me. But I also know that he’s probably just doing what he needs to to get it up and get the job done as I’ve been putting the pressure on lately. For context: we have a great relationship, we’re getting married in a month, I know he finds me attractive - he’s constantly tapping me on butt, grabbing my boobs etc, but I’m just struggling to be okay with this. I also don’t want to tell him that I’ve looked at his browser history so I don’t know how to talk to him about it. FAMILY NOT COMING TO KIDS BIRTHDAY I come from quite a messy family. I have 6 siblings, all half. My dad is on to his 4th marriage and my mum has had 2 divorces. I’ve always been close with my mum but have only become close with my dad in the past 5 or so years. My parent’s break up was very messy and they’ve never been amicable since. I now have a beautiful partner and a darling little daughter who is just about to turn one. We’re throwing her a party and have invited all our friends and family. However, a few weeks out, my Dad has just said that no one from his side of my family (himself, my step mum, brother and his family) will be coming because they feel uncomfortable and they would like to have a seperate party for my daughter instead. I’m so disappointed! It’s been over 20 years since they divorced, he’s had 2 marriages since! How are they still hung up on this to the point that they can’t be in the same room for an hour? I never wanted my daughter to have to celebrate

What Happens When We Reach the Mid Life Clusterf*ck? Uncut with Eleanor Mills
Eleanor Mills is an award winning journalist, editor and broadcaster who has taken a bit of a pivot in her mid life by creating a community called ‘noon’. At 49, Eleanor was abruptly made redundant from her role as the editor of the Sunday Times Magazine and chair of women in journalism. She lost her sense of purpose, and her identity - and her family lost its main source of income. She felt washed up and burnt out; like everything which had defined her life for the last 25 years was gone. But then she noticed something: she wasn’t alone. Today we are going to unpack what Eleanor calls the midlife cluster fuck, our perceived value as we age and a lot of the motivators and values that we hold as career driven women. We spoke about: Identity in ‘success’ and our jobs What happens when that identity is shattered Real life ‘Succession’ after working for Rupert Murdoch for 23 years Gendered ageism in our culture vs what we truly have to look forward to ‘Queenagers’ - the freedom of becoming the woman you always wanted to be Power is fleeting when it’s based off of fecundity and fuckability The double edged sword of speaking about menopause; exposure vs it being weaponised against up How Eleanor has helped so many women realise that there’s much more to come past 50 Eleanor’s new book titled ‘Much More to Come’ can be found here Eleanor’s Instagram Eleanor's organisation Noon can be found here!

Ask Uncut - I Was Sent My Mum's Nudes
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to therapy Thursday where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! Is there anything more awkward than the entire restaurant/bar singing happy birthday to you? What the heck do you do? Smile and sing along?? Would you like to know that you were getting proposed to or prefer it to be a surprise? Britt and Keeshia met a couple where she definitely knew it was happening! Vibes for the week: Britt: Netflix American Murder: Laci Peterson Keeshia: House of Sculpt Pilates Laura: Couples Therapy on SBS on Demand/Paramount plus Then we jump into your questions! DO I TELL MY MUM I GOT SENT HER NUDES? Just over 2 years ago, I was getting ready for bed one night when I got a notification on messenger for a message request from someone I didn’t recognise. It said “I just thought you would like to know what your mother had been up to lately” followed by nude images of my mum and screenshots of texts exchanged between her and this person's husband. I was shocked and hoped that she hadn’t sent these to any of my other siblings. I ignored the message as much as I could until my youngest brother called me in hysterics telling me that he had just received the same message. I ended up reading the whole text exchange. There was a week where she visited him in his home town on her week off work. I looked at the dates and it all hit me again. She was meant to come visit me and my newborn interstate that week but said she had covid and had to stay where she was (his hometown). As terrible as I feel for my mum's partner, this is what shook me the most. She used me and my child as a reason to go where she was going just to “inconveniently” get covid and not be able to travel any further. She used us to cheat and it makes me sick. Ever since I found this out I haven’t been the same around her. I haven’t told her I know and I haven’t told her partner either. It’s an unspoken thing between my brother and I but we both feel the same towards her. I am also so mad at this woman for sending these explicit things to us as if we had anything to do with it. Why punish us and make us bear the weight of it all? Anyway, my questions are…My mum and her partner are still together with no bumps in sight. Do I tell my mum I know? Do I need to tell her partner?

Hey Lifers, We are back from a little few day vacay! Laura's friend catch up FINALLY made it's way out of the group chat and into reality! She had a little mishap at the airport and there's a valet parker who hopes she never comes back. Britt and Producer Keeshia went to Bali to sus out Britt's wedding venues and food tastings. They ended up getting sick and missing some of the important parts. Chaos and motion sickness; very on brand for life uncut! The world is in mourning as JLo and Ben Affleck file for divorce! Lots of the world are talking about whether you think it's ever a good idea to go back to your ex. But, we're more interested in whether you think divorce can make you a better parent. There was a really interesting article by Kathryn Jezer-Morton in the Cut that explored the idea that the end of a marriage, while challenging, can lead to personal growth and improved parenting skills. We discuss: Whether our experiences of divorce or parents staying together influenced our views on relationships and marriage Whether you should or shouldn't stay in a step kid's life Whether we think divorce is always traumatic to kids How it shaped our views of conflict Parents who are only staying together for the kids - is this a good thing or a bad thing? Does being a 'child of divorce' make you more 'realistic' about marriage?

Ask Uncut - When Do You Use Your Best Bedroom Moves?
Hey Lifers, Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer all of your deep, dark and burning questions! It's Britt and Producer Keeshia's birthday and they're off on a romantic, couples holiday as a taste tester (quite literally) of Britt's wedding. Have you ever taken a vibrator to Bali? We might get stopped at customs for reasons we weren't expecting! If you have had a wedding, did you have a 'first look' and do photos before your ceremony or did you wait to have photos taken after the ceremony? Laura had an 'interesting' back drop in some of her wedding photos that caused a smell that didn't fit with the feelings of the moment. Vibes for the week: Laura: MCoBeauty Miracle Flawless Skin Foundation Keeshia: Podcast The rest is politics US Britt: Ilona Maher Instagram Account Then we jump into the questions: WHEN TO PUT BEST MOVES ON IN THE BEDROOM When is the right time to pull out your best moves in the bedroom? My best friend has started to see new people after coming out of a four year relationship. As her longest single friend she asked me when is it too soon to use your best moves on a new sexual partner? Which got me thinking, Do you leave it all on the floor on your first time because you want to impress them? Or do you keep some of those party tricks in the locker for future? I personally have had experiences in the past where I have been complimented on certain acts in the bedroom in almost a “you must do that alot” kind of way as if I’m being judged for having too much experience (charming I know). So I need to know your thoughts. Do you hold back with a new partner in fear of being judged for being too experienced or do you go hell for leather and pull out all the moves on the first go? In this question we mentioned the great episode we recorded with Tara O Sex Isn't a Stage Show, So Drop the Act SHOULD I SUCK IT UP FOR MY HUSBAND'S SAKE OR IS THIS DISLOYAL? My husband's best friend (best man at our wedding) and his long term wife got a divorce due to him cheating. The wife was clearly devastated, they had started trying for a baby and it came as a shock to everyone. The husband less than 2 months on finds a new girlfriend and gets her pregnant, they have only a few weeks ago had the baby. I cannot bring myself t

Ask Uncut - Is This Normal? Bridesmaid Beef & Beers For One
Hey Lifers, Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer all of your deep and burning questions! Britt has some terrible dating advice that includes faking a celebrity interaction. The tide seems to be turning on Raygun. There is more speculation around the ethics of her journey to the Olympics since we recorded on Monday morning. Laura helps Britt learn about her (Ben's) new home in Romania. Vibes for the week: Laura: Two Doting Dads Book: The Quest For Free Time Keeshia: It Ends With Us Film Britt: Diary of a CEO podcast with Francis Ngannou Then we jump into your questions! AM I UNFULFILLED OR IS THIS NORMAL? I’ve been with my boyfriend for 5 years. I have kids, he doesn’t. I have always felt like he is my best mate, not necessarily my penguin but at the same time it’s been 5 years we’ve put in the work and my kids now adore him. His best friend moved in with us a year ago. I obviously noticed this man was attractive and I’ve known him for a long time but I was happy and content with my partner and I thought hey it’s normal to just appreciate someone’s good looks. Until… he messaged me one night. I was at work and he had been drinking. It said “Hey please don’t repeat what I’m about to tell you.” He goes on to tell me that he finds me irresistible and the reason he chose to take a FIFO (3 on, 1 off) job was because he struggles to be alone with me. He said he thinks about me non stop. I would be lying if I didn’t say I felt the lust. I went home, slept it off and felt so guilty that I showed my boyfriend the messages. He kind of just said ‘Oh wow he is thinking with the wrong body part’ and has since pretended like it never happened. Now I’m in a tailspin. I dream about this man. He creeps into my mind constantly. He comes home in a week and I’ve tried gently suggesting to my boyfriend that we ask him to move out. Obviously I haven’t told him that I am attracted to his best friend but I just said that it’s a little awkward. My partner just replied that the extra income is helpful and he probably won’t try anything. But what he doesn’t know is that his friend has messaged me since telling me he is sorry, however I am just so beautiful and kind, how I’m the sweetest and he can’t help but think about me. I truly think that I’m just feeling this way because after 5 years and being a full time working mum, I feel invisible to my family so having a man call me irresistible is a thrill. I do not want to go against my morals and destroy someone’s trust over a fling but I also don’t want to tell my partner how I feel. Should I be looking at this as a sign I’m unfulfilled in my relat

Raygun, Babe, You Okay?
Hey lifers, Laura is an elite athlete now. She's possibly getting a ticket for indecent exposure but we're focussing on the success of doing 14km with a donkey pram! Britt has done one of the more Britt coded things possible and embarrassed herself again. If you could theoretically find out who the love of your life was going to be and specifically when you would meet them at the age of say 18, would you? Would you like to know? If you had a crystal ball and could see whether you and your current partner were going to be together in 10 years, would you like to know that? Ben has moved to Romania and Britt knows a bit too much about Dracula... Laura has an update on how her conversations with her girls went about their grandfather passing away. The entire world cannot stop talking about Raygun. We unpack where the line between trolling and criticism is, whether the commentary is gendered and whether it's 'good enough' that she 'did her best'. We also take a bit of a dive into her own research in the field and how it seems to contrast her performance at the Olympics.

Vibes for the week can be found here! Britt: Tom organic period cup Keeshia: The Shocking Effects of 500 Days Without Alcohol - Mark Manson Laura: Koala Suffolk Chair Then we get into your questions! DO I CATCH UP WITH HER OR LEAVE IT I had this girlfriend I’d only known for a short time through work. Early in our friendship, just a couple of months in, she asked me for advice on proposing to her boyfriend. I encouraged her to go for it and a few weeks later I found myself hiding behind a beach umbrella, camera in hand, capturing her proposal. Not long after, she asked me to be her bridesmaid. I was flattered and accepted, although I was a bit surprised given how new our friendship was. Then, the wedding was postponed for a year due to a venue mixup. Life got busy for both of us, but I made an effort to stay in touch, regularly checking in. Her responses were few and far between, until one day out of the blue, she sent me a long text telling me she didn’t want me at the bridal party anymore. She claimed I was the reason we’d drifted apart but said she still wanted me in her life. Yet, when the wedding finally happened, I wasn’t invited at all. A few months after the wedding, she messaged me saying she wanted to catch up. Now, I’m torn: should I take the high road and give her a second chance, or cut ties since she was the one who cut me off first? We still have mutual friends, so it’s likely we’ll run into each other at some point. NO MORE BABY TALK My best friend sometimes makes comments when we are out for dinner with our closest girl group like ‘no more baby talk’. It’s a punch in the gut for me. This year my entire life has been consumed with my baby. I was on family leave and just started back up at work now. At this point of my life, all of it revolves around my baby. I feel confused and don’t know who I am any more, I feel like I have nothing else to talk about, and to my friends who I love dearly, I’m boring them. Normally I wouldn’t want to care what people think of me, but her opinion of me really matters. My best friend does want to have kids (but in a few years). I guess my question is, how do I navigate this friendship, since we are both at different stages of our life? How do I navigate the comments? How do I find myself again? I sometimes miss the old me (freedom and time to do things I want to do), but I especially miss the old me when I feel I’m boring m

F*ck Cancer, Britt's Wedding Dress And Is It OK To Publicly Call Out a Cheater?
Hey Lifers! Laura has had a really heart breaking week. Her wonderful step father passed away last Tuesday night and today she shares some of the best bits of who he was as a man. We also have a conversation about living alongside grief and how life is somewhat expected to continue 'as normal' when you're experiencing it. Laura also shares how she's finding it challenging knowing how to explain what has happened to her two young daughters. Britt has tried on her first wedding dress and it brought her (and only her) to tears! The wedding date is closer than any of us expected! We have a bit of a laugh about what styles of dresses we expect Britt to pick. Was the dress you ended up choosing to be married in the 'style' that you expected or was it different? Is it best to publicly call out a cheater? We unpack the growing trend of people using Tiktok to call out what they think is cheating in an effort to out them and find the wronged partner to let them know. Is it always better to ‘expose’ them? Or do you think that is more humiliating for the person who has been cheated on? Is publicly calling out a cheater justified, or does it cause more harm than good? We mention an episode with a polyamorous family that we absolutely loved!

Ask Uncut - A Posh Wank Or Is He Cheating?
Hey Lifers! Producer Keeshia is filling in today and Britt is curious about her chewing gum and toilet choice habits. Britt has had a very serious emergency that could have had a very dire outcome. This story isn't for a laugh but more a word of warning! Vibes for the week can be found on our website Britt: Keeshia: Modern Wisdom - How to stop feeling like your success is never enough and Apple airpod max headphones Then we jump into your questions! IS HE LYING TO ME? A few years ago when I was around 7 months pregnant I noticed a condom missing from the pack. The only reason I noticed this was because we don’t use condoms and only had them because we were going through fertility treatment and advised to use them prior to egg collection and embryo transfer. I confronted my husband about it and he said he likes to wear them when he ‘relieves’ himself because he likes the feeling of it. Fast forward to now and we have been trying for a second baby for almost 9 months. We have embryos frozen so have decided to go through fertility treatment again. Again, we have been advised to use condoms to avoid multiples etc. My husband hasn’t used any of ours since then, or told me that he’s brought more. For the past few months he has been working away a few nights a week and staying at a friend’s house while he’s away (this friend is married with kids). The other day our 2 year old was going through his bag. He opened a zip and pulled out 2 condoms saying ‘daddy biscuits’. A few hours passed and a comment was made and we ended up talking about it. He told me again he liked the feeling of it and that I have nothing to worry about. My sex drive has been very low the last few months trying for a baby again and sex feels like a chore. He doesn’t want to push me or put any pressure on so finds the need to ‘relieve’ himself which is totally fine. I explained to him why it seemed suss and he understood where I was coming from and said he never even saw it that way. Now the question is - I don’t know if this a red flag and he’s lying to me or is this a legit thing and I should just trust him? We are about to have another embryo transfer and I’m just all over the place with my emotions and how I feel about this. I don’t have actual proof he’s done anything wrong or cheated and I don’t have reason to not trust him. AM I A BAD FRIEND? I’ve got a friend who seems to chase chaos in relationships. She is clearly the reason her last wonderful relationship didn’t work out, and since then she has dated multiple toxic guys back to back, and says she loves red flags - as if it’s funny, until it’s not funny anymore. She also never takes any accountability for her bad behaviour. I

Living in Fear: The Reality of Stalking
In today’s eye-opening episode, we bring you the harrowing story of a woman who has endured relentless and ongoing stalking. To protect ourselves, we made the decision to keep our guest’s name anonymous as the further we got into this chat it became apparent just how dangerous the man stalking her is. For her, the stalking began years ago and despite every effort she has made with police internationally, she has not been able to have the perpetrator convicted. In this episode, we discuss: The reality of being a victim of stalking Self-gaslighting and doubt: how women often question whether the threat they face is severe enough to involve the police. Ongoing stalking & this continuous ordeal with a persistent and dangerous stalker. Ignored evidence: despite having substantial proof of harassment and stalking behaviour, law enforcement's response has been disappointingly inadequate. The emotional and psychological toll of living under constant surveillance by a stalker. Why the police often fail to take stalking cases seriously and the systemic issues contributing to this neglect.

Just A Bunch of Miserable Childless Cat Ladies
Hey Lifers, What're your thoughts on the skateboarding in the Olympics? We're hooked! Britt has had an old roommate come to visit and it's got her reminiscing on the good old nostalgic days of stitching up a housemate when they bring home a date. The men (human and canine) in Laura's life keep on sh*tting in inappropriate places but it's bringing a lot of joy to the Life Uncut family! Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance previously made some outlandish comments that included the country being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies”. He's joined the conservative Megyn Kelly show on Friday and somewhat doubled down on the commentary. It's a story that now has Jennifer Anniston, Hilary Clinton and Opera involved so we thought we'd throw in our two cents. It had us asking a few questions: -Do you think it shifts voter’s perspectives on who will be best to run a country if they have children or not? -Do your perspectives on how you see the world shift when you have children? -Are you more ‘entitled’ to a vote if you have a kid that will live in the world that we are creating policies for?

We reflect on what the last 5 years have meant and you're all the fkn best for listening to this podcast and helping us create this community! WE HAVE A NEW HOME FOR OUR VIBES!! Vibes and Unsubscribes page! Britt: Netflix Simone Biles Rising Laura: One Life film Keeshia: Book - Everyone Here Is Lying Then we jump into your questions: WEDDING SAVE THE DATES I’m getting married at the end of this year, we sent the save the dates February this year. Since then we have lost touch with a friend (never see them, never talk to them over social media etc) they are still close friends with mutual friends of ours. If you send someone a save the date, do you have to follow through with the invitation? There’s no other aspect of money being an issue or anything like that, just purely aren’t close with them now and don’t foresee us being close in the future? PARTNER WANTS TO TELL GROCERY STORE, I WANT TO KEEP THE REFUND My partner and I can’t agree. He collected our grocery order tonight for $140 worth and they have had IT issues so we never got the message to say our ‘direct to boot’ order is ready so he went inside the store to grab it. Two hours later we got a message to say our order has to be cancelled and we will be refunded due to IT issues. I think they will take the refund as they are a huge company - we spend at least $300 weekly (family of four- 3 kids in nappies🙈). We are farmers in drought struggling to make ends meet so I think treat it like winning the lottery. He thinks we should ring them to let them know we got the order. I know he is morally right but surely sometimes you have to just take a win. What do you think? DATING SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T QUITE FIT WHAT I PICTURED I’m 28 and have never been in a relationship. A couple of years ago I wrote a list of my ideal man; ambitious, funny, chatty, reliable etc so when I was dating I wouldn’t entertain anyone who wasn’t right for me. I’m in the early stages of dating someone and he ticks everything off the list: he’s really great, I feel safe with him and my friends love him. There’s one small thing that’s niggling at but as I haven’t been in a relationship before I’m still figuring it out. I always pictured myself with someone being the centre of his friend group, could dominate a room, in a sense a bit cocky. But this guy isn’t quite like that! I’m not saying that he’s not confident, but I suppose it looks different to how I envisioned it. I realise I’m overthink

We are seeing an increase in people publicly sharing their breakups on social media, something that previously was almost exclusively done by celebrities. Over the past week we saw two opposite types of break up posts. One was from the Princess of Dubai, Sheikha Mahra & the other was a joint statement from Maya Jama and Stormzy.

Tradies were literally arriving at our house and not long after were requesting to use the toilet and doing number 2s (with the sound effects). Not just a once off; this was happening everyday of the renos. Am I the only one to think this is not acceptable? My husband was a lot more understanding than I was; maybe because I’m the one who had to clean it!?). Should tradies not ask to use the toilet if they need to do a poo or am I just being very unreasonable!! DOES YOUR PARTNER INTERACT WITH YOU AT THE END OF THE DAY? My boyfriend's default after coming home from work is to be on his phone , watch reels, news, stocks etc. I have told him before to give me attention for a few minutes and just be nice to me so I feel loved. Tonight, Friday night, I'm home from work and looking out onto the balcony as if it's a nice sunset. He comes home, says hi (the door is right across from the balcony ) and sits on the sofa and starts looking at phone. (I was expecting him to walk over to me and give me a hug and kiss). I ask him to come out to the balcony and he says no and continues looking at phone. After a few minutes I ask him to give me some attention (exact words: "babe can you give me some attention?") He throws his phone down and says "stop complaining" and goes into the bedroom and doesn't come out for 45mins. He came out later to the living room and said sorry but he was upset. I asked him to come outside, and he didn't want to. He thinks I'm dramatic and I create a scene ....What do you think? Is it normal to want to be greeted at the end of a work day or am I expecting something that isn’t normal? SIS IN LAW SHOWER WITH MY DAUGHTER My sister in law has showered my daughter with her a couple of times, which I don’t feel comfortable with. My biggest issue is that she never asks if it is okay before doing it. I have mentioned it to my husband but he didn’t really think it was a big deal. How do you bring the conversation up without creating an argument because his family is always on the defence about everything I saw and did.

Shut Up Rings, Shut Up Moves & The Fine Line Between Nagging and Communication
Hey Lifers, Delilah has been kicked out of dog school. Again! Britt shares how she feels like it's a reflection of her and it turns out that pretty privilege also exists in the canine world! Very sadly, Laura's nan passed away last week. We speak about the concept of the 'rally' where people in the last stage of life seem to have the fog lifted. Laura got to enjoy this moment with her nana. Have you ever heard of a shut up ring? What about a shut up move? We unpack these ideas and how we determine where the line between nagging and good communication is. Is it always ‘if they wanted to he would’ or do some people need prompting? Whether you feel satisfied with a shut up move because you got what you wanted, just not in the way that you wanted it.

Ask Uncut - Should I Tell My Husband That I Slept With Him?
Hey Lifers, Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer all of your deep and burning questions! Laura has had to deal with our worst nightmare; it involves gastro and a child burrito. Vibes for the week: Britt: The Beautiful Game on Netflix Keeshia: The Rest is Entertainment podcast Laura: App "Juggle Street" Then we jump into your questions! SHOULD I TELL MY HUSBAND I SLEPT WITH HIM I’ve moved back to the town I grew up in and had a situation where I recognised a tradie that came to our property… I had slept with him! I didn’t mention it to my husband but then I had a thought that maybe I should have told him. I would never lie if he asked outright but now I don’t know if I need to divulge this information voluntarily. Just to add, I didn’t speak to him at all, he didn’t see me and he won’t be returning. It was purely a short fling and it was so long ago who knows if he’d recognise me back. What are your thoughts? HOW TO STOP OBSESSING WHEN DATING I’m 35 and in the dreaded dating scene. I’ve just been ghosted suddenly after a few great dates and what felt like a really good connection forming. How do I stop obsessing over what I may have done wrong and what could’ve been. I feel like this will make my dating anxiety even worse. I feel like I’m losing all hope that I’ll ever meet someone that actually likes me back. SHOULD HE BE CONTRIBUTING FINANCIALLY I moved to another country to be with my partner. I have said that it’s really important for me to go back home twice a year (4hr international flight, but it’s also a 4hr drive to the airport). Some of my friends and family mentioned that they reckon he should be contributing financially to me going home because I’m the one that moved away. I've always just paid but it did get me thinking and I think it sounds reasonable that he helps me out (he makes significantly more than me) but he doesn’t think so. We’ve been together for a few years now and don’t have any shared finances. What do you guys think? CHEATING NOTE ON MY CAR I met the greatest guy ever! My family adore him and he treats me so well. We were living in an apartment complex in a main city where we had an external car park with allocated parking. One day on my way to work, I noticed a note on my windscreen. When I pulled over to read the note, it said, "he cheated on you babe." As soon as I read it, I instantly thought, nope, this isn't for me but as I got to work I kept thinking about it. I started to get upset and told my boss I wasn't feeling well and had to leave. When I confronted my partner, I told him if it's true, let's just talk it over because I can appreciate people who make mistakes. He remained very confident in saying this was not true and he

Uncut with Frankie Muniz. "Everybody Sacrificed Everything To Make My Dream and My Life Happen"
Joining the pod today for an exclusive interview is the wonderful Frankie Muniz; the beloved child actor who starred as Malcolm in "Malcolm in the Middle" and has now made a name for himself as a NASCAR driver. Britt and Frankie were campmates in the "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here jungle and it was so nice to continue those in depth and personal conversations with Frankie. We spoke about: How Frankie got into acting and landed the role of Malcolm at just 8 years old. How getting into acting isn’t an exact process. It’s likely due to chance The rules of child acting and how schooling worked The sacrifices that his family made to enable his career to exist Child actor finances -the reality of child actor earnings and financial management Frankie's experience with his manager stealing money Avoiding rebellion: Why Frankie didn't follow the typical rebellious path of many child stars.

Modesty or Misogyny: The Debate Over Olivia Culpo’s Wedding Dress
Hey Lifers! We are BACK from a little holiday and feeling refreshed, but truthfully still as unhinged as ever! Britt made a big hotel mistake and Laura admitted that Matt was right to be annoyed about something she did when she went away. At the time of recording, media outlets across the world have reported that Margot Robbie is pregnant, despite not having it confirmed by Margot or her husband. It feels like we're not living in 2024. Just over a week ago Miss Universe from 2012 Olivia Culpo married NFL player Christian McCaffrey. Her wedding attire and subsequent interview with Vogue has cause quite the stir with the question of whether her dress was meant to impress or suppress. We unpack the internet's response to her interview and weigh in on whether we think it's a conservative campaign with a side of Madonna whore, or if she should be able to choose whatever wedding dress she wants for any reasons she likes!

Ask Uncut - He Doubled Down On Why He Ghosted Me
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we debate your deepest and darkest dilemmas. First up, we are taking a hot little 2 week break from the podcast! Laura promises to not get any new tattoos... We're all excited to get some zzzzs. Vibes for the week: Britt - Fanta & Red Wine Sangria Laura - The Daily Aus The rise in young women getting labia plasty Keeshia - Search Engine Why'd I Take Speed For Twenty Years IS IT RUDE TO LEAVE WEDDING BEFORE BRIDE AND GROOM? Is it rude to leave a wedding before the bride and groom? I have always thought you shouldn’t leave before the couple. But, recently at a wedding heaps of people were leaving early and now I am wondering if I was wrong or if people have just given up on this notion. HE DOUBLED DOWN ON WHY HE GHOSTED ME A guy I was dating for a month ghosted me 2 months ago and I didn’t bother following up because we both kind of knew we didn't like each other enough. (He was really hot though so I wouldn't have minded something casual). Fast forward 2 months to now, he decided to call me randomly out of the blue and when I asked his reason for calling, he said he had been reflecting and felt bad that he ghosted and wanted to formally tell me that he didn't think we were compatible. He then went into the reasons why we wouldn't work out. I don't know what's worse: being ghosted or having a ghost pop back up to tell you why he ghosted?? I had a little hope that he wanted to try dating again but he literally just doubled down on why he thought we wouldn't work out. Any thoughts on what's worse? HOW TO WIPE YOUR BUM My friend and I are having a SERIOUS debate… about how to wipe your bum. We’ve settled that we’re both TP folders and not scrunchers, but we wipe our poops SO differently. Please help, do you: Sit on the toilet, reach underneath between your legs and wipe that way? Sit on the toilet, reach around the back and wipe from that angle? OR, Stand up and wipe?? I’m option B, she’s option A and she thinks I’m absolutely crazy for doing so…. Am I? I also occasionally go for option C so I think I’m just fucked up but would love to hear yours and the lifers thoughts. We also settled on wiping from both back to front, or front to back, it just depends on the situation down there…. Is that normal too?

OUR BRITTY IS ENGAGED!!!!! Today's recording included a HUGE surprise for Laura and Keeshia and we're all crying so you're welcome to too. First up, Laura wants to help her friend know how to avoid catching the feels for her 'friends with benefits' pal. Vibes for the week: Britt - Netflix "Geek Girl" Keeshia - Unsubscribing from The Kardashians. Vibing The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck podcast The Harsh Truth About Self Discipline ft Rich Roll Laura - Tony's Chocolonely Caramel Sea Salt Milk Chocolate Block Then we get into your questions and one little surprise: I WANT TO KEEP THEIR DOG My friends have a 2.5yr old toddler and a newborn. To help them out, I agreed to look after their puppy for 18 months as they raise their kids as the puppy can be a bit much. I’m currently two months in and realising I did not think this through. The thought of giving him back in a year is really upsetting. The timing of me taking on their dog has come after A) the death of our family dog, and B) I am healing from a toxic relationship so I really needed a little buddy to latch onto and that has been my friend's dog. I also feel like I’m a better home for him as he has my full attention and has made so many friends at my local beach/dog park. The husband is keen on me having him, but the wife is on a very different page and wants the dog back in a year. I genuinely will be heartbroken if I have to give this dog back. How should I approach this with them to convince them that I should keep their dog? PORN SHOWER My husband was in the shower and I needed a lil wee so I went in to do that. As I was on the loo I was perving on him in the shower… he looked good, a potential semi, so I decided to strip off and jump in. We had sex in the shower. When we finished I turned to get out and something dropped on the floor. It was his phone. It had been propped up in the shower. So essentially when I had come in to use the bathroom he was watching porn on his phone in the shower and about to have a wank. He was interrupted. I felt weird, like a

Beyond Baby Reindeer: The Reality of Stalking with Nicole Madigan
In the past few weeks, the Netflix show ‘Baby Reindeer’ has been the number 1 TV show in the world. The bio of the show reads “When a struggling comedian shows an act of kindness to a vulnerable woman, it sparks a suffocating obsession which threatens to wreck both their lives.” This show provided quite a nuanced look at the insidious nature of stalking and a lot of the complex emotions that the victims can experience.

Hey Lifers and welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer all of your deep and dark questions and weigh in on all of the dilemmas! How incredibly awkward can facebook marketplace be? Laura's had the person who is way too keen for a chat and Britt has ended up... not paying for some boogie boards! If you received a message saying "Available when?

I didn't say anything because I felt bad and thought it would never happen again. But, we have started sort of sleeping together… and now I have feelings! AHHHHH I am in so deep. What should I do? How do I know if it is worth seeing him seriously and risking the awkwardness with the whole family, and do I tell my friend regardless? I know she is going to be upset. IS IT OK TO GHOST FRIENDS YOU'VE OUTGROWN? I am in a group chat with a few girls I went to high school with 10 years ago. I am close-ish with one, used to be close with two, then the other I never connect with. Every now and again the chat pops up about making plans and I never am really interested in being involved. I feel like I have to respond and make up a reason for not joining. I am asking, is it ok to ghost the chat? It feels harsh, but I can’t say “sorry guys I’ve outgrown the group”. The hard bit is that one of the girls I want to preserve my friendship with, and of course don’t want to seem ‘mean’ to the others. How do I approach this? <li aria-le

Do You Feel ‘Crazy’ Around the Time of Your Period? Unpacking Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) with Dr Izzy Smith
There’s a huge amount of stigma associated with anything to do with our periods and for a lot of people, they may have spent years being told that they are dramatic, moody and irrational around the time of their period. As it turns out, it may not have just been ‘that time of the month’. They may experience a condition called PMDD or Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. As for any invisible health condition, having a name for it can be really validating and give you a sense that you’re not crazy and you’re not alone. It also helps people around you understand what might be going on so this episode isn’t just for the girlies who experience extreme mood shifts like depression, irritability, anger and hopelessness around their period, it’s also for those of us who don’t so that we can be more supportive for a loved one who does. Today we have Dr Isobelle Smith, an endocrinologist with over 10 years of experience in hormones, joining us to unpack the ins and outs of PMDD. We chat: What PMDD is and how it differs from PMS The stigma of ‘erratic’ moods and emotional dysregulation The possible causes of PMDD PMDD being listed as a mental disorder Treatment and management for PMDD How PMDD changes over the course of your ‘reproductive’ years PMDD in perimenopause and menopause Medical misogyny and advocating for your own health You can find Dr Izzy Smith here Izzy mentioned the International Association for Premenstrual Disorders here And the resource that the Queensland Government put together here You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers! First up today, we hear what 'Life Uncut' could have been. We also went on holidays to the same place but actively chose not to see each other! Britt got into competitive arguments & Matt surprised Laura with a guest on their family holiday. More highbrow chat; Laura shares a tiktoker who got a bullet vibrator stuck up their butt. Unfortunately it was on. Then we are joined by political expert and journalist Charles Croucher to get our heads around Donald Trump's criminal conviction, making him the first president in U.S. history to be convicted of a crime. Charles breaks down Trump's cover up of a 'hush money' payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in the lead up to his presidential election in 2016. We break down whether it's likely Trump will go to jail, whether he could run for president from prison and what other cases might be coming up in the future. We speak about what the actual crime was, and how Trump's team tried to use everything in their power to shame and silence a porn star, claiming that she wasn't a credible witness simply because of her job.

Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer all of your deep and dark dilemmas! Britt is particularly chirpy today because her 5 month unintentional celibacy is over! Ben is in town! Laura doesn't have the time for p*rn but she does have the time for an instagram trend that involves you all breathing out all the way and screaming... This isn't our most intellectual episode! Vibes for the week: Britt - Apples Never Fall on Binge Keeshia - "Hale" on Spotify Hale Breathwork. Laura - We the wild Neem Oil Spray Then we get into your questions: PUTTING A FAKE AGE ON DATING APPS I matched with a guy on a dating app and we met up for lunch yesterday. I made a comment about how he and I were of a similar age and generation (me being 38 and him 40) to which he said, “Oh, no, I’m actually 45.” This is not the first, second or third time this has happened. I have had this happen innumerable times and there is always the excuse that, “the app wouldn’t let me change it.” To which my thought is, “well if you were honest in the first place, you wouldn’t need to change anything.” Questions: 1. Do women put an incorrect age in the dating apps too? My experience is with dating men and I am curious about whether this is something everyone does or not. 2. He was otherwise lovely so is it better to just brush it aside as being a mistake and go on another date? Or do I take this as a sign of being insincere and an amber flag and move on to another match? HIS EX KEEPS REACHING OUT TO MY PARTNER AND HIS FAMILY My partner of 2 years (he is wonderful, definitely my penguin, we own a house together, but currently doing long distance due to work) has let me know that his ex (they were together for 8 years and separated amicably) has been in contact with him (sending lots of one way messages asking to catch up which he hasn’t replied to) but she has also been in contact with his family and grandparents and has organised to meet up with them in the next few weeks 😬 and has also asked to see him and his mum. He told me straight away and has said that it’s up to me whether he goes to see her or not. I trust him completely so it’s not like I am concerned anything will happen between them, but the situation has made me feel really uneasy! I know that 8 years is a long time to be in a relationship, and that you can get pretty close with family, but to continue be in cont

We Are Calling For Harsher Punishments for Violent Offenders While Some Victorian Prisoners Are Having Their Sentences Reduced. Uncut with Bianca Unwin
Joining the podcast today is domestic violence advocate Bianca Unwin. Bianca has degrees in both criminology and psychological sciences and she is joining us today to speak about a loophole known as ‘emergency management days’ that over 7000 prisoners could be using to receive reductions in their prison sentences. Many of these convicted offenders are violent and high risk offenders. Bianca’s sister Katie was a 29 year old mother of two when her partner Shane Robertson beat her to death while the couple’s child slept in a room next door. Shane was convicted but received a below average sentence of 19 years without parole. However, due to legislation enacted by the Victorian government allowing sentence reductions for prisoners under ‘emergency management days,’ a provision especially impactful during COVID-19, his sentence may be substantially reduced. Bianca joins the podcast today to speak about the contrast between what we all seem to be screaming from the rooftops in our fight to protect women, and the government’s leniency on reducing the sentence of violent criminals.

Can You Have Relationships with People That Have Different Values to You? Travis Kelce Thinks Yes.
Hey Lifers! First up, Britt is served a slice of humble pie for some risky fashion choices. Laura has a stye... it's just a sh*tshow today. Laura and Matt went back to where they got married & the kids were a bit disappointed in comparison to last time. Do you feel as though you can maintain relationships with people who have different values to you? We speak about the response from the Kelce brothers to Harrison Butker's controversial speech two weeks ago. We discuss the ins and outs of whether different religious, political or moral values dictate if you can have relationships with people. We speak about the privilege involved with 'whether' you care about certain view points and whether it's the intensity of those values that might be the line in the sand.

After Toxic Shock Syndrome Caused Lauren Wasser to Lose Her Legs, She Redefined What We Perceive as Beautiful.
Lauren Wasser was born into a family of models and started modelling at just 2 months old. She was a fit tom boy and had begun to make a name for herself in the modelling industry. When Lauren was 24 years old she developed Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). In this chat we speak about Lauren’s personal experience of feeling a ‘bit off’ one day. 24 hours later she was fighting for her life. The syndrome caused a life threatening situation and Lauren ended up needing to have both of her legs amputated in an effort to keep her alive. Now, 6 years since the infection, Lauren is modelling with her golden legs. Lauren also speaks about growing up with one view of beauty, and how our perceptions of beauty have evolved. Lauren speaks about her journey of recovering from her amputations and advocates for better after care for patients who experience similar changes to their lives. This episode has been reviewed and approved by two medical doctors registered in NSW.

Ask Uncut - A Real Life Love Actually
Hey Lifers, Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer all of your deep and dark dilemmas! Britt has some really exciting personal news about her sister Sheri and her husband Jay. Vibes for this week: Britt - Bodyparts on Nine Now Keeshia - Three Identical Strangers on Netflix Laura - No Filter Patrick Gagne is a sociopath Then we jump into your questions! SHOULD I ATTEND THE FUNERAL? I was with my ex for 12 years. During the last 3 of those years my ex-Mother in Law (MIL) lived with us; I knew her very well. I'm now happily remarried with two kids and haven't spoken to anyone from my ex's family for around 6 years. Recently, I found out my ex-MIL has gotten very sick and it got me thinking about when she passes away. I would want to pay my respects to her given she was a huge part of my past life, but I don't know if attending her funeral and seeing my ex and his family for the first time since leaving him would only add to their pain. My question is: who do you attend a funeral for? Is it for the person who has passed away? Or their loved ones left behind? I DON'T WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH MY COWORKER How do I let a work colleague know that I have no interest in being friends with them outside of work (or even at work TBH)? I really struggle working with this particular person, but that's clearly unbeknownst to her as she continually asks me to do things outside of work! I always come up with excuses not to go, but it's getting harder and harder. Also these are not big group things where everyone is invited, it's literally just the two of us and maybe one or 2 other people. Do I need to be more direct? Or just say yes and make it a really bad time so she doesn't want to hang out anymore? Or just keep putting up with it and coming up with excuses? SHOWER ETIQUETTE What is the etiquette when using someone else’s shower while staying with them? Do you bring your own shampoo/conditioner/body wash etc? Or is it acceptable to use theirs? DO I CONFRONT/ASK HIM OR PLAY IT OUT Last week my husband asked me to pick up a parcel for him from the post office and said it was a tool for work. When I picked up the parcel, I noticed it was from a silversmith so I googled them. I didn’t look any further as Mother’s Day was approaching and didn’t want to ruin my surprise. I didn’t get jewellery for Mothers Day. I looked on the website and it could be fingerprint jewellery but it’s way out of our budget. I mentioned it to my best friend to see what to do. After naming the jeweller, she said our mutual friend is mates with the jeweller, maybe our friend is going to propose and use my husband and our address for secret delivery. The

Loving My Lying, Dying, Cheating Husband. Uncut with Kerstin Pilz

But, then you find out that they have been cheating on you since your wedding day. Do you continue to care for them? Today’s guest didn’t have to imagine this scenario. She lived it. Kerstin Pilz grew up in Germany and was working as an academic at Macquarie University here in Australia.

Kerstin became his dedicated carer. But when she discovered that he had been cheating on her throughout their relationship, she was faced with a difficult choice: walk away, or continue to care for the man who betrayed her. In this chat we speak about: Being faced with this emotionally charged conundrum The complexities of loving a narcissist Whether it’s better to find out about infidelity or not How to heal after cheating Whether infidelity poisons your memories and if they were ‘real’ moments Forgiveness being radical self care Kerstin’s choice to not have children and whether she regrets that Kerstin has written a book titled Loving My Lying, Dying, Cheating Husband and you can get a copy of it here Kerstin’s instagram is here You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Laura’s Family & the Impact of Terminal Illness, and Diddy's Assault Footage: The Ongoing Fight to Believe Women's Stories
Hey Lifers, Today's episode has a lot of variation of light and shade. Britt has done something that could be one of the funniest stories of something embarrassing that she's ever told. Salt & pepper squid anyone? Laura and her family have been navigating a really hard time in their personal lives as her step dad has entered the last phase of his terminal cancer. They had a celebration of his life and today Laura shares what this experience has been like behind the scenes. Please if there is one thing about today's episode, it's to reach out to the men in your life who are over 50 and ask them when their last prostate check was. Footage of a horrific, violent assault by Sean 'Diddy' Combs on his ex girlfriend Cassie Ventura has spread over the weekend. He has now released an 'apology' video that completely contradicts a statement he made in December where he said that he was completely innocent and that the allegations made against him were by "individuals looking for a quick pay day". We speak about women not being 'reliable narrators of their own experiences' until there is video evidence of abuse. We speak about 'reputational apologies' and how different laws complicate this particular scenario.

Ask Uncut - Ungrateful Mother's Day and is the dating bar too high?
Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep and dark dilemmas! The first dilemma of the day is that Marlie Mae (Laura's 4 year old) has been watching Taylor Swift 'The Eras Tour' and she's learnt some questionable dance moves... We have an ask uncut aftermath from a question last week!! We absolutely love finding out what happened next. Vibes for the week: Britt: pretty lazy magic wand hair perfector Keeshia: The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. Jen Gunter MD How to Balance Your Hormones: What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About Menopause Laura: Mimi's haircare for kids Then we jump into your questions: GRANDPARENTS WANT WEIRD TITLES THAT WE HATE My husband and I have a problem, we are 5 months pregnant with our first child and my in-laws have been thinking about what they want to be called. Now, I’m happy for it not to be the typical grandma and grandpa etc if they don’t want but they have just called my husband to let him know that my MIL wants to be called cougey and my FIL has picked Ockey. (I don’t know how they would be spelt but they sound like koo ghee and ock ee.) We don't like these names and think they are weird, and could be confusing for our baby when she grows up. We don’t want to hurt their feelings but we also don’t want to have to refer to them as these strange names forever. How can we approach this with them or is it something they have every right to choose on what to be called by our child? DO I PRETEND IT'S GREAT? If a partner plans something for an event such as birthday, Mother’s Day, etc and you are disappointed, do you pretend it’s great? Or let them know you're disappointed? A couple of times I’ve expected a bit more planning from my partner and been disappointed but felt guilty for feeling this way. Are my expectations too high and is anything better than nothing? I should mention I’ve told him that I’m a sentimental person when it comes to milestones DO I CALL BULLSHIT OR IS THIS ‘NORMAL’ THESE DAYS? I’ve been dating a guy for 6 months (after his marriage of 2 years ago and 2 kids ended). Due to this I’ve given him space in anything too heavy about committing etc. About a month ago I asked him if he was on the apps and he said no, we haven’t had anymore “exclusive” chats. I’ve found out this week that he has liked one of my best mates pictures on hinge (who he’s met). He says it was an accident & he went on there because he was bored. Do I call bullshit on this? My male friend says that blokes need validation and until you tell them your boundaries and commit, it’s fair game. He wants to talk it through and get on the same page but I am unsure if I want to bother. I have been singl

Ask Uncut - Donor Eggs, Keeping My Ex's Surname & My Best Friend's Husband Tried to Cheat With Me
Hey guys and welcome back to your therapy Thursday where we answer all of your deep, dark and burning questions! First up, we asked our partners what they would have called us on their sex list. Not sure if we are recommending this one or not to be honest! Bachie has been canned and we will well and truly miss the beautiful tones of Osher's "ladies". Vibes for the week: Britt - Netflix The Roast of Tom Brady Laura - The Daily - Sunday Special 'Modern Love' podcast ep Keeshia - Pill Box from Dosey Then we jump into your questions! HE WANTS TO CHEAT WITH ME My husband and I travel frequently with another family who have children the same age. It started out as my husband and his friends but over time the wife has become one of, if not, my best friend. They live interstate but we talk most days. We are 2 weeks away from an international holiday with them, when he asks me in a private message if I was with my husband at the time, and to message back when I was alone. He asked if I would like to ‘hook up’ whilst overseas and at the same time said don’t say a word to them (meaning his wife and my husband). I actually asked if he was joking to which he replied “no, but now it’s awkward”. I brushed it off and politely declined. As I stand, it’s nearly 24 hours after the message. I am planning on telling my husband that we will need to rearrange our holiday and accommodation plans. She is going to know something has happened, so when she asks me why we are cancelling on them what do I say? If roles were reversed I would 100% want to know. We have always suspected he’s probably not 100% faithful to her but to make matters worse she is pregnant. I know the information is going to ruin her life. PARTNER DOESN'T WANT ME TO DONATE MY EGGS TO MY BROTHER I have two older gay brothers. Since I was about 16 (I am now in my mid 20s) I’ve said that I would like to donate eggs in the future to them, so they can have biological kids with their partner. (I always figured since we look very similar and I don’t plan on having kids it would be a nice way to have biological children in the family). One of my brothers and his partner are ready to start the process to have kids. However, my partner of 2 years that I plan on marrying is very uncomfortable and does not agree with this decision. He sees that it will be my kid. I am not sure what to do. Do I listen to my partner's concerns and come to terms with not helping my brothers or follow through with this said promise? What are your thoughts? Am I crazy for offering and not seeing it as being my child?<

Ask Uncut - She Cheated With Her Second Cousin
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to our ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and debaucherous dilemmas. Today includes a doozy! Vibes for the week: Britt- Plane Tablet Holder Laura- Severance on Apple TV Keeshia- SBS Insight - Convenient Relationships Then we jump into your questions: SHE CHEATED WITH A SECOND COUSIN My cousin has come to me absolutely distraught. She confided to me that at a family wedding about 2 months ago she got very very drunk and had sex with our second cousin! Keep in mind she is newly married! She also told me that she is pregnant and not 100% sure who the dad is (her husband or the second cousin) . She has decided just to assume it’s her husband and is not looking into a paternity test. She is so ashamed and I think the only reason she has opened up to me is because of the pregnancy. Is it my place to tell the husband (who I’m close with too), for his sake and the baby’s sake (it could have serious health implications) or do I just pretend I know nothing? AM I MEANT TO BE WITH MY EX? I truly believe that my ex from 10 years ago is who I am meant to be with… We were really young and it just wasn’t the right time back then however, over the years there have been multiple times when we have talked about getting back together. There has always been something in the way like work commitments, personal reasons or one has been in a relationship when the other hasn’t. Only a few months ago when I was in a short relationship, I found out he was interested again. I'm not in that relationship anymore but he has just started seeing someone. What should I do? No matter how much I try to convince myself I’m wrong, my gut keeps telling me that it’s him and it will always be him who I am meant to be with. Should I try and talk to him about this (if so what the hell do I say) or just wait and see if time brings us back together again? Is he just the one that got away and it’s time to let that go? HOW SHOULD COUPLES SPLIT PAYMENTS I’m planning on moving out with my boyfriend and our two mates in three months into Sydney. For reference we’ve been dating for 6 years and I’ve been friends with his mates the whole time.I’ve been looking at places and am confused about how couples pay rent. Are we expected to split the amount evenly by all 4 of us even though my boyfriend and I are in the same room? Obviousl

Is Ozempic The Magic Pill? Weighing Up Society’s Dysfunctional Obsession with Weight, Food and Our Bodies - Uncut with Johann Hari
In 2022, coming out of lockdown, Johann went to a party with Hollywood celebrities. He noticed that unlike him and his friends who had all gained weight in lockdown, these people had all somehow lost a lot weight. It wasn't because they had taken up pilates. It was because of a new generation of injectable drugs, designed for diabetics, except that no one was speaking about it. Immediately he felt conflicted about these drugs. On one hand, it seemed as though they may have the ability to significantly improve the health risks associated with obesity; but there was also a dark side that he felt the need to investigate. Johann decided he would interview over 100 of the world's leading experts in science, medicine and the body positivity space to create his latest book "Magic Pill. The extraordinary benefits and disturbing risks of new weight loss drugs.” In this episode, we speak about: When Johann first became aware of drugs like Ozempic Fatphobia, stigma and shame that we have been conditioned to experience in our culture What these drugs could mean for people who already experience disordered eating How these drugs work and Johann's personal experiences on them The potential health benefits that they may have The risks and unknown outcomes of this class of drugs How weight is a 'status' symbol in our society Whether these drugs should solely be available for diabetics The potential future outcomes of weight loss drugs & what they could mean for our economy You can find all of Johann's books including Magic Pill here You can listen to our previous episode with Johann about Stolen Focus & Why We Can't Pay Attention You can watch us on Youtube If you have an question please send it on it to life uncut podcast on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ask Uncut - Do You *Self-Pleasure* At Work? 🙈
Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer all of your deep, dark and sometimes deranged questions! Laura has one of her own first up! If a kid at preschool had taught your kid swear words, would you dob on them? Vibes for the week: Keeshia: I Love Linen Mattress Topper Laura: Koala Couch & Baby Reindeer on Netflix Then we jump into your questions : MY PARTNER CONSISTENTLY WETS THE BED WHEN HE DRINKS & HE WON’T STOP DRINKING My partner (M37) is a big drinker and also has an overactive bladder which leads him to wetting the bed basically every weekend when he drinks. I’ve expressed my discontent with this numerous times throughout our three year relationship and have tried to help by buying nappies, setting alarms during the night and trying to trick him into sleeping in other rooms. I’ve also pushed him to see a urologist where he now takes medication to urinate less throughout the day however as the bed wetting is primarily a problem from alcohol, he’s still frequently wetting himself. This impact also extends to when we go away with friends, for weddings, on holidays etc and he makes no effort to drink less and I’m left to monitor him throughout the night to make sure he gets up to pee and doesn’t wet the bed as we have no where else to sleep. I’m at my wit’s end and have even gone to see a relationship counsellor who basically said (long story short) that if I try to change the un-changeable then I’m going to drive myself crazy and I basically need to learn to live with it. My partner has an enormous victim mentality about this and his only emotional response is that “it’s not fair that his mates can drink as much as they want without this problem” and “why me, it’s not fair”. Am I being unreasonable in expecting him to drink less to stop this problem? If he was in his early 20s I’d give him time grow out of it, but at nearly 40, I’m heavily considering leaving the relationship because it’s so sad and unattractive, and I don’t want this for my future. Please tell me if I’m being too hard on him like he says that I am. IS IT OK TO WANK AT WORK? I randomly asked my husband when he last had a wank, to which he replied “uh, probably last week?” Me being a stay at home mum who is home…ALL THE TIME, then asked “was I home?” He so casually responded “oh no, nine times out of ten I’d have a wank at work.” Now, I’m NOT here to yuck someone’s yum, HOWEVER, this is NOT the first partner I’ve had to do this! My husband is a tradie, one was in real estate, another was in the medical area. My question is… is this normal? Why not do it at home? Is it a risk kink thing? </li

Low libido? Try Cliterature 💦
Hey Lifers, Producer Keeshia is still here... she's clinging on like a turmeric stain. Britt is spending the week with her mum over in South Africa. We get an update on Laura's kitten Raspberry and who her preferred parent seems to be! In today's episode we take a bit of a shallow dive into the world of #smut, #smuttybooks & #booktok. If you've been wishing your libido would wake the f*ck up and resurrect itself, 'cliterature' might be for you! One of us has been doing some homework and has entered the world of erotic romance novels. We discuss how these books have been hugely popular amongst women, how they've helped pleasure back into their lives and explore worlds of fantasy in a safe environment. Taylor Swift dropped two albums over the weekend and we know that everyone is talking about the feud with Kim, and which songs are about Joe Alwyn & which are about Matty Healy. BUT, fewer people are talking about Taylor admitting to still tracking her ex's location on Find My Friends because he forgot to disable it!

Hey Lifers! Welcome to the episode where we unpack your deep, dark and burning questions. Britt's still in the jungle eating pig nipples. There's a sentence I never thought I'd write... Please keep voting to keep our girl in the jungle! VOTE HERE Laura's brought her extra 4 legged child home. Buster is terrified and Matt is still in the 'dad who doesn't want the pet' phase. We all know that there's no one who will love a family pet more than the dad who initially said they didn't want them. Vibes: Keeshia: The Daily Aus Podcast - Bruce Lehrmann lost his defamation case. What does this mean? Laura: ToniMay Mother's Day collection Questions: FRIEND CUTS PEOPLE OFF MID SENTENCE One of my best friends constantly cuts people off while they are mid-sentence, sometimes when the person is answering the questions that she has asked them. She also will cut into other people’s conversations and start talking about something completely unrelated and making it hard to get the original chat back on track. Now that I’ve noticed she does this it drives me mental and makes me not want to have a deep engaged conversation with her, as it seems like she’s not properly listening or interested in what I have to say. Is there a way to politely tell her that she does this? Or is this a quirk of her personality that I need to let go? ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT AND HE'S NOT BEING SUPPORTIVE I’ve recently moved interstate to a brand new city and I’m loving it. I met a guy pretty soon after arriving here, and he is amazing. Turns out on the first night we slept together, I fell pregnant. I am not in a position to keep the baby, and we’re aligned on that decision. However he hasn’t been as supportive as I would’ve hoped. I have been super sick, unable to work, bed ridden, and he hasn’t been replying for my messages for days on end. He hasn’t offered to bring me anything, or even just pay for appointments or supplies, or even just ask how I'm doing. I know we’re not together but I can’t help but feel disappointed in the way he’s handled this. What would your tips be before going forward in this situation? Should I keep seeing him after? IS IT OK TO PEE WITH YOUR PARTNER IN THE SHOWER? Please help me settle this debate between my boyfriend and I! Is it okay to pee in the shower when I shower with my boyfriend? For context, we shower together every night and he always finds it weird and gross that I have to pee in the shower. But I think It’s fine as it ends up going down the same pipes and to the same destination as the toilet

Bondi Tragedy - Losing the Importance of Truth in the Race to Be First
Hey Lifers, Today's episode was particularly difficult to record. The whole nation is grieving the loss of 6 people in our community after a horrific act of violence on Saturday afternoon at Bondi Junction shopping centre. Within our team, we have personal connections to some of the victims and we want to send our most sincere love and support to the families and loved ones who have had one of the most horrific events imaginable take place. Today we speak about the way that this incident was reported in the media, and the lessons that we can learn from it. In a time where we are so demanding of instant information, it seems as though respect, permission, grace and importantly the need for the information to be true has been lost. And, on a lighter note we also have a chat about how to know whether you should invite your partner to an event/hang out. In this conversation we spoke about an episode that we recorded about askers and guessers. You can listen to that here Vote to keep Britt in the jungle!

Ask Uncut - My Boyfriend Drank Another Woman's Breast Milk
Hey Lifers, Welcome back to your weekly therapy session where we unpack your deep, burning questions! Vibes for the week: Keeshia: (follow up from last week is that if you already pay for Spotify, you can listen to a bunch of audiobooks for free!) Plus the podcast Modern Wisdom with Matthew Hussey - Why Is Love So Hard To Find In The Modern World Laura: One Day on Netflix Then we get into your questions! My husband and I have two kids. I would happily have another but he doesn't want another. I've become comfortable with this being our family unit. As such, I have broached the conversation of him having a vasectomy because I don't feel as though I should be responsible for contraception given that he is the one who has made this decision. He has completely taken the idea of a vasectomy off the table and said that he will not have one. Although I feel he should have bodily autonomy, I think it is an unfair expectation that he won't have one when I have already given birth to our two children. I was house/pet sitting while the owners were away on holidays. I just discovered an indoor camera in the kitchen / living area - after having a very hot sex with my partner pretty much right in front of it! I have also been walking around naked or just undies when it’s hot. I did ask the owners about cameras/security before agreeing to the house sit and they only informed me about a front door security camera. What do I do now?? Do I ask them about it or should I just ignore it and pray that the camera wasn’t recording, nobody saw anything and they don’t have first class porn stored somewhere on their cloud? Do you think sexual chemistry can grow? I met up with a guy from Hinge, had a great chat, lots of laughs and things in common but couldn’t picture myself kissing him. I usually rely on it from the get go but I’m trying to date guys I wouldn’t usually initially pick since the guys that I do feel instant chemistry with haven’t worked out. My boyfriend just told me that when he was at his best friend's house the other night he lost track of the odds and had to drink his bestie's baby mama's breast milk. We don’t have kids yet and I always thought mine would be the only breast milk he tried. Idk how to feel about it. I'm kinda grossed out and feel upset that he tried another woman's breast milk but don’t know if I’m overreacting or not. He also thinks it’s fine cos it’s the same as drinking female cow milk.

Uncut with Diana Nyad - Creating Lasting Friendship & Unapologetically Chasing Your Dreams
You might have heard a few weeks ago, Laura recommended we all watch Nyad on Netflix. Nyad was nominated for an Oscar and the film told the story of Diana Nyad, who first attempted to swim over 100 miles, which is 170 km, from Cuba to Florida in her 20s. One her first attempt, she was unsuccessful. At the age of 60, she decided to complete the feat she wasn’t able to when she was 28. She decided to do it without a shark cage. She also had to navigate dangerous marine creatures like box jellyfish, which can transfer enough toxin to paralyse and kill you. On her 5th attempt, at the age of 64, Diana completed the 170km swim alongside her best friend and coach Bonnie. This is a story of resilience, defying society's limitations of age and one of female friendship! Diana also shares why she spoke publicly about the s*xual assault that she experienced at the hands of her coach from age 14 in an effort to help other victims not live in shame and be able to find their voice too. Diana has such an energetic and inspirational attitude to life!

Living In a Glass House of Accountability, a Feminist Talk and the Inspired Unemployed
Hey Lifers! Britt is still in the jungle & we'd love, love, love for you to vote to keep her in (10 times if you can endure the ads haha) VOTE HERE Do you go to sleep angry with your partner or do you resolve it all before the zzzs? Also very curious to know if you have certain activities that are laptop only, or if you're comfortable doing it all on your phone? What's your 'limit' of the depth of the activities? On today's episode we have a meaty chat about accountability culture. Last Wednesday feminist authors Antoinette Lattouf, Clementine Ford and Yumi Stynes held a free event with a special guest that turned out to be Jack Steele from the Inspired Unemployed. The event turned out to be a bit of a prank for the TV program Impractical Jokers. People who attended the event have reacted with mixed emotions; mostly being shock, disappointment and anger. We dive deep into the complexities of accountability culture, and what it means to live in a "glass house" where transparency and self-awareness are key. We chat about the nuances of why some people choose to address indiscretions, and why others don't. We talk about intent vs impact, calling in vs calling out and whether there's room for grace when someone in the public space f*cks up.

Ask Uncut - My Partner Does Drugs on Special Occasions
Hey Lifers! Welcome to your weekly therapy session where we answer all of your deep, dark and controversial questions (today). Laura is in Bali and has been making her sister bank roll the trip. Britt is still in the jungle and we can keep it that way by voting to save her! Vibes for the week: Laura - Brittney Saunder's new business pod Big Business Keeshia - Trevor Noah's podcast What Now? and the 60 minutes interview with Trevor Noah Then we jump into your questions! I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2.5 years. We’re 24, we live together & share a pet. I’m a hyper romantic & an extrovert. He’s pretty negative & modest at times. He doesn’t like to show his affection unless he’s drunk or we are alone. Over the past year our sex life has gone from weekly to 1-2 times a month. I love him so much & despite our arguments I want this to work. When I questioned him as to why we aren’t having more sex he said “you nag me about it too much & it seems like you’re forcing the seductiveness”. I pulled back any attempt to be overly sexual or touchy & nothing changed. I even put on lingerie, wore his favourite perfume, lit candles and he still said no he didn’t feel like it. I understand but I’m so lost. I’m so young to be in this position because I know that nothing will change. But I don’t know what else to do. I recently went on a 3rd date with a guy, which so far everything was going well with - he was ticking many boxes in terms of constant communication, making plans etc … and on this night he had initiated dinner, booked the restaurant and was even there early … and the date went fabulous. At the end of the night , after going to a bar for more drinks we decided we wouldn’t go home together. By this point all we had done was kiss. As we were exiting the bar - I saw him on his phone, but little did I know he was already booking his Uber. Once we get outside (it’s around 1am) he tells me his Uber is nearly here, I quickly book mine but mine says 9 minutes away.. His Uber arrives and without hesitation he just jumps right in - I thought surely he’d check how far mine was or wait for me but no. He didn’t. He just left me standing on the street alone waiting 8 more minutes for mine … I thought I’d at least get a message from him asking if I got home safe, but nothing. He couldn’t have cared less how or if I got home. But still messaged me the next day asking to see me again. Chivalry is HUGE for me but sadly his lack of care here has given me the major ICK. Do you think this is bad behaviour / a red flag or I should just carry on seeing him and hope it was a simple mistake? My partner & I are planning to start our

Are You the Friend Who Disappears When You're in a Relationship? Lizzo Has Quit & Laura's Questioning Plane Etiquette
Hey Lifers, We hope you all had wonderful Easter weekends; whether that is with or without egg hunts and hat parades! Laura shares her feelings around adding magic to special events so that they become your really important memories. Laura is in Bali and has had quite an eventful plane ride. She's curious as to how you'd handle this plane etiquette and Keeshia thinks the passive aggressive route is best. Have you ever felt as though a friend bailed on you when they got in to a relationship? Has this become a bit of a pattern? Are you possibly the friend who deprioritises friendship when you get into a relationship? We discuss the difference between a natural evolution of a friendship, a shift in life stages and expectations of the intensity of friendship. We spoke with Dr Hannah Korell about breaking up with toxic friends here Plus we speak about Lizzo quitting. Is it the result of being guilty in the 'court' of public opinion or have problematic trolls just been given the green light to attack her because of the allegations against her? Is she cancelled? Do you think someone should be hired to perform at an event like a political fundraiser when they have active allegations such as sexual assault allegations against them?

Ask Uncut - Blow job etiquette
Hey Lifers! Producer Keeshia is filling in for Britt while she hangs out with all of the creatures in the jungle! But I'm a celebrity had us thinking about a particular insight into all of our relationships and it's one that will be polarising! Vibes for the week: Laura - Lily Loves range at Target Keeshia - Shakti mat Then we jump into your questions! HE CHEATED EARLY IN THE RELATIONSHIP My boyfriend (31) and I (28) started dating in June last year, we made it official at the end of July. Since the very beginning we’ve been very happy. We are both super committed to our relationship and each other, we communicate really well and he shows me every day how much he loves me. I truly thought I had found my penguin. However… I just found out he cheated on me 2 times just when our relationship started. He cheated on me with a girl he met back in June. She was away in Europe for a bit so when we started our relationship she wasn’t around but they were still texting. When she was back they met up 2 times and had sex. This was 1 week, and 2 months after we made it official. All of this came out because the girl reached out to me to tell me everything.I confronted him, he felt really guilty and owned his mistakes. He said it absolutely didn’t mean anything. He was lost and scared and he said he could never do that to me now because we are in such a different stage of our relationship. I can see how our relationship has changed in the last 4 months. He says he has changed and did the inner work after the cheating. I think he still needs to work on himself to potentially continue the relationship. And he agrees. My question is how bad are the red flags? I know you can recover from cheating but can you when you started the relationship and fell in love with the person when he was cheating? I think I really want to make this work and give him another chance HOW DO I ASK IF HE'S SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE I’ve been seeing this guy for a month so far so good - convos, good hobbies align, values align and watching him work out was a beautiful sight. BUT he is going away in two weeks for a 2 month trip with a mate. Usually it would be way too soon to define the relationship but with him going away my question is do I ask are we not sleeping with other people during this time I feel like it’s usually too soon to ask but I also think if he likes me he shouldn’t want to. He has also told me he’s deleted all the apps (which is how we met) Do I have the convo? BLOW JOB ETIQUETTE I was in a 17 year relationship, married with 2 kids. It was a tough time when we separated and I gave myself a year b

Should We Feel Guilty For Speculating About Princess Catherine?
Hey Lifers! Britt has gone into the jungle!! She's petrified of heights and we don't know why she didn't lie about her fears. It's Laura's 38th birthday!!!! (It's possibly her 37th but we've referred to google for reference). Laura speaks candidly about not being a birthday person and why she feels a little bit indifferent to gifts; unless they are plants. We speak about being in certain places of life by a certain time as the years click over. Over the weekend, Princess Catherine announced that she has been battling a cancer diagnosis and undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment. We question whether people in positions like hers are entitled to privacy just like everyone else, and whether we should feel bad for contributing to the public speculation. Did she feel as though she had to come out with this information because of public harassment or because the PR team royally f*cked up so many times that it pushed her into a corner?

Ask Uncut - Britt's Going Into The Jungle!!
Hey Lifers! We will get to your questions but firstly, BRITT IS GOING TO SOUTH AFRICA and entering the "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" jungle! We talk about how it came about, what it's going to entail and which charity Britt is going into the jungle for! You can check out the charity Rize Up Australia Vibes for the week: Britt - watch I'm a celebrity on channel 10. It starts on Sunday! Keeshia - Ultra sonic cleaner Zima dental pod Laura - One Child Nation on Prime Video Then we jump into your questions: -Last month my family & I were at the beach and we set up our Cool Cabana and 3 beach chairs. We were there for a few hours but decided we wanted to have lunch so we packed up our beach towels but just left the cabana and beach chairs underneath it. A few hours later we returned and a whole family was sitting under our cabana on our beach chairs. They had their rash shirts all hung up on our cabana. We said ‘what are you doing here?’ and they said they asked people nearby if anyone owned it and when they said they hadn’t seen us in a while they thought it was fine to use. When we asked them to leave the mum rolled her eyes at us and only the young boy apologised. When I told my friend about this she said they had every right to use our cabana and beach chairs. This isn’t correct beach etiquette is it? -I had a friendship of 10+ years who was my best friend and had been through everything with me, this friendship ended last year. The friendship in itself got quite toxic towards the end so it’s definitely a relief that we are no longer friends, however it’s hard to not look back on all the good memories and good times we had. I feel like I’m coming out of a toxic romantic relationship. I know I'm better off without her but it’s still sad. Now that I'm out of this friendship, I find myself looking around at other female friendships and feel sad. I have friends but I feel like it's all on a superficial level, and I'm never truly myself like the way I was with her. My question is how do people make good pure friendships in their 20’s? It's just making me so sad lately -My partner has had a declining sex drive for a while now. I've noticed that his instagram explore page is full of raunchy bikini models. After confronting him about this, he admitted that he jacks off to these pictures. I want to know whether this is a problem to most people or if it's me overreacting?

Is Zuckerberg dumping the news?
Hey lifers! First up today, we've got two very special (s-paw-cial if you like a pun) guests in with us today. We go through the worst things you've done to get revenge on one of your exes and you are all very CREATIVE!! We also promise that we won't report any of you because some of these things are borderline illegal. Plus we unpack the big changes that Meta is about to make to your instagram and facebook news. Things could be really changing next month. But who is in the wrong here? Is it the government for legislating something that benefited some news providers (but not all), or it is Meta for wanting to save themselves from paying Australian news providers a lot of money. There are a few independent news players in this game that are really going to be affected by this change, despite them never benefiting from the agreement that was made in 2021. We also speak about our desire and ability to pay for content such as news. If we eventually did need to pay for this type of content to keep these news organisations going, would you be willing to? Would you only pay for some or the types that you liked and enjoyed? Would that make you end up in an echo chamber?

Ask Uncut - My Husband Slept with a Sex Worker at His Bucks Party
Hey Lifers! Britt is very concerned about where Kate Middleton is. Laura and producer Keeshia are much more distracted by the free water station at Fred Again. Different strokes for different folks ya know? Vibes for this week: Britt: Three Women on Stan Keeshia: Loop Ear Plugs Laura: NYAD on Netfllix Then we jump into your questions! My husband and I got married 6 months ago. He left his laptop with his WhatsApp open and there were messages from his friends saying they were clear from STIs and for my husband it wouldn't matter because he would "only be passing it on to one person". That message made me feel weird. We’ve spoken about boundaries before. I was fine with strippers and a lap dance at his bucks. I checked his phone and have now since learnt he slept with a sex worker on his bucks. I don't know how to feel about it, do I confront him about it? I've done the wrong thing by checking on his phone without him knowing. I just feel gross and disrespected. If a guy asked you what your favourite flowers were and you told him a specific flower, but he bought you another flower instead because it’s HIS favourite, is that a red flag? I know it’s the thought that counts but why ask someone for their favourite flower if you’re not going to listen to them? My partner and I are having a ridiculous argument. It has been 40 degrees here and we're renovating so we don't have any aircon at the moment. I have been walking around naked and just did the dishes. He told me he didn't feel comfortable with me doing everyday things when I'm naked because it ‘leaves nothing up to the imagination’. He thinks if I continue doing it then it will impact our intimacy. He's used the analogy, 'a chef who cooks all day, doesn't want to go home and cook'. I don't see a problem with it and wouldn't care if the roles were reversed. What are your thoughts?

The Playboy Mansion , Hugh Hefner and the 60 Year Age Gap - Uncut with Crystal Hefner
The playboy mansion and playboy empire is surrounded by so much intrigue and controversy. Today we got to chat with Crystal Hefner. Crystal became a sexual icon of the 2010’s when she entered the playboy mansion at only 21 years of age.

Seeking Revenge on a Cheater & Are Dating Apps Addictive?
Hey lifers! Laura is ready to rave! She's got a week in her house solo for the first time since having kids and she's going to a school night party. What in the 37 years old?? Britt's bucking the latest trend but maybe you'll be interested in a merkin. What length would you go to to get revenge on your friend that cheated with your partner? Would you attempt to take their eyebrows? Someone on the internet has tried and personally we're going for the passports. What's the worst thing you have done for revenge on an ex that mistreated you? There's a class action lawsuit going on in the states against dating app company Match Group (Hinge, Tinder & the League owner) claiming that they falsely advertise by saying that their aim is to get you off the apps and actually into relationships, when their algorithms are designed to keep you on the apps. We unpack whether dating apps are designed to be 'gamified' and should be looked at as something that is addictive. If this is the case, should we be having more transparency over how the algorithms work like we do for gambling apps or alcohol?

Ask Uncut - Millennials eye shadow is out!
Hey Lifers, Are you wearing eye shadow? Apparently we are not fitting in with the youth anymore, but we certainly have the 'tired eyes' look covered! Britt is sad that she's missing out on some family memories. Laura's kids picked their cat, but Matt has rules and we're not sure if it will be cat or cats... Our vibes for the week: Britt - Tide stain remover pen Keeshia - Bali body Face tan serum (and Griffins Marvels Golden Gaytime Biscuits from Coles)! Laura - And Juliet Theatre Show Then we jump into your questions! I went out for a first date with a guy for a drink! I drove there so I was expecting to have 2 glasses of wine MAX over a possible 2 hours. He sat down, said we would be getting a bottle of wine - not even asking about my preference. I told him, I would prefer a glass as I was driving and he said “no that’s definitely going to change. You’ll be drinking more and staying for the bottle and eventually we will go back to yours.” I immediately felt uncomfortable and was very shut off from wanting to get to know this person which I eventually voiced. After I finished my one glass, (he on his third) I very respectfully said that I would be heading off and to be polite I said, let me know your bank details so I can transfer you for half the bottle. This morning I woke up to his bank details and he told me the bottle was $90! This is probably one of the worst dates I have ever been on so how much do I send him if any? My boyfriend of 15 months is sweet, kind, generous and patient. I, on the other hand, am passionate and fiery. I crave excitement and stimulation but find my relationship very comfortable and complacent. My boyfriend has a good job and studies, but is happy to live a fairly simple life and doesn’t push himself too hard. Despite this, he always goes above and beyond to make me feel special and loved. It hurts so bad to admit but I find myself feeling a bit bored and underwhelmed, almost as if I’m missing that spark. I know (from you guys) better than to dream about the greener grass or go chasing butterflies and thrills but I can’t help but feel as if there’s a relationship out there that would make me happier. Am I being unappreciative? What should I do; Stay with the sweet boy who is comfortable and safe? Or find someone who can match me intellectually and who I feel more chemistry with? Someone I follow posted trying to set her husband's best friend up on a date - she listed qualities of him etc. Fast forward, I’m texting this guy and we go on a first date. We both have busy schedules which are opposite which means we only share a few messages a day (I’m a fitness instructor so work mornings/nights). After not speaking to him for a whole day (he might be ghosting me) I a

American Nightmare. The Truth About the Wrongfully Labelled "Real Life Gone Girl". Uncut with Denise Huskins
We are so grateful to have been able to speak with Denise Huskins. Far too often victims of assault are not believed. The story of what happened with Denise's kidnapping and assault is harrowing. However, in this chat Denise articulates that what happened next from law enforcement, the media and the public was worse. In March 2015, in Vallejo, CA, Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn awoke from a sound sleep when armed men bound and drugged them, and then abducted Denise. Aaron was warned not to call the police, or else Denise would be killed. Aaron trusted law enforcement and called the police to try and find Denise. But instead of searching for Denise, the police accused Aaron of her murder. They said that his story was just unbelievable. When Denise was released alive, the police turned their fire on her, dubbing her the "real-life 'Gone Girl'" who had faked her own kidnapping. In this chat Denise answers so many of our questions like: Why were you and Aaron targeted? If law enforcement thought your statements were too inconsistent and unreliable to believe you, then why were you later seen as a reliable witness in court? Why have the other kidnappers not been pursued and prosecuted? Did the police ever take accountability for their mistakes? We speak about Denise and Aaron having to decide whether to speak out publicly to clear their names of creating a hoax kidnapping OR be used as witnesses in court to help prosecute Matthew Muller. We also discuss how Denise and Aaron were able to help each other heal and went on to get married and have two beautiful daughters. Denise is remarkably resilient. You can watch "American Nightmare' on Netflix or read Denise and Aaron's book here. Please note that this episode discusses violent and sexual assault. If you are listening from Australia, you can find free help by calling 1800-RESPECT.

Age Gaps & When You Just Don't "Feel The Connection" With Your Kid
Hey lifers! Last week we accidentally breadcrumbed something but we are so excited to tell you that we now have a youtube channel!!! You can watch our episodes HERE! Please note that for our hard of hearing or deaf friends, you are able to turn on captions in your settings. Lots happening in our personal lives with pets this week - Britt got into a brawl because Delilah apparently likes digging holes & Laura is adopting a cat. When it comes to age gaps, how much is too much and do gender dynamics matter? We speak about Kristin Cavallari's (37) new boyfriend Mark Estes (24), and why the world seems to be up in arms about their relationship. We unpack the general perceptions of age gaps and our own experiences dating 'up' or 'down' age ranges. Bradley Cooper has spoken out on a podcast saying that when his daughter was initially born, he did not feel a connection with her & it took him months to 'love' her. As outrageous as it might be to hear it, how common is this experience? We speak about how very common this seems to be for both mums and dads with their babies and why this seems to be the case.

Ask Uncut - Ultimatums, 'Too Soon' and How Honest is Too Honest?
Hey Lifers! Today has been a bit of a chaotic mess, but what else is new? It's a leap year day and Queen Margaret (5 years) has an allowance for you. Britt has stuck her foot in it and basically told her pregnant friend that she didn't like her baby name. Vibes for the week: Britt - Can I tell you a secret? on Netflix Keeshia - Ali Abdaal's Deep Dive Podcast The difference between healthy and toxic relationships Laura Barney Dog Bed Then we jump into your questions! I’ve been officially dating someone for about four months, but we were in a bit of a situationship for about 5 months before that and we were friends for about 3 years before that. We have already said ‘I love you’ and talked about the future, so we’re quite serious. The only thing is, after we had been officially dating for a month, he said that the ‘honeymoon phase’ was over and that he needed to start taking a bit more time to himself. It has caused a few issues, because he’s 30 and I’m his first partner, so he’s quite a solitary person, but I need quite a bit of attention. I’m starting to regret deciding to be exclusive, but it’s a bit too late to backtrack from that now. I’m not sure how to handle this situation, because I don’t want to be the nagging girlfriend who asks for more time, but I’m also starting to get resentful about not having more of his time. A few weeks ago you answered the question to another listener about the girl who’s fiancé was going to propose to her when / after she gets her license. And an engagement under certain conditions, that was okay. My friend is in a similar situation with her boyfriend of 1 year. However, her boyfriend has said openly to her that he wants to marry her, but won’t propose to her until she gives up vaping and drinking on weeknights. I thought personally this could be problematic and potentially manipulative to have a promised engagement under certain conditions. I am dying to hear your take on this. I feel like this is a stupid question but I have been out of the dating game for so long and I need to know what's normal. I went out on a first date with a guy and it was absolutely amazing. I was lucky enough to get a kiss at the end of the date and nothing else! We are going on a second date next week. Do I kiss him on the lips when I see him next or be polite and give him a kiss on the check? When is 'too soon' to ask the

Work-Life Happiness and Figuring Out Your Identity When You're Adopted - Uncut with Sarah Davidson
Hey Lifers, This episode was such a joy. Sarah Davidson is known as a 'funtrepreneur" (fun entrepreneur) for giving up her very successful career path in law to start her own business and find what brings her joy. Sarah speaks with incredible insight into the way that we view success and how that aligns (or doesn't) with happiness. Something a lot of us question is whether we could be feeling a bigger sense of purpose if we were doing something else, and also when to take that lunge and when not to; a cost-benefit analysis of your work-life happiness. Another really interesting part of Sarah's story is that she was adopted at 5 months old from an orphanage in Korea. Sarah has found a different type of curiosity around her identity now that she is pregnant and will have a family member reflect her physical traits for the first time. We speak about some of the questions that adoptees face and have themselves. If you'd like to follow along with Sarah's story, or get her podcast, books etc you can find her here!

Ask Uncut - The Patriarchy F*cked Up Our Buttons
Hey Lifers, Which side are your buttons on? A fun fact Laura brought up will have half of you interested and the other half wondering why guys, why? Britt has had botox in her skull to try and treat her migranes. We spoke a bit about how invalidating invisible conditions can make you feel. If you'd like to listen to the episode with Bridget Hustwwaite, it's here Living With Endo - Uncut with Bridget Hustwaite Vibes for the week: Britt: sunday supply co beach loungers Keeshia: Sound sleep mask Laura: John Plunkett Superfade cream Then we jump into your questions: Is it okay to brush your teeth when you’re on the toilet? For a little context, when my boyfriend got out of the shower last night, he dried off, then proceeded to start brushing his teeth. When I got out of the shower, he was sitting on the toilet, doing a number 2, whilst still brushing his teeth. Surely that is not an okay thing to do Can you make a relationship work when incomes are so different? My partner is wonderful; thoughtful, kind, funny - everything! But he earns a lot less than me with no desire to earn more. I’m worried this is going to cause resentment and issues over time (like with kids and holidays etc) I’m in a happy marriage to my husband (dating for 8 years, married for 2). We are both in our early 30s, have good jobs, have done a bit of travel and have recently bought our first home. We would both like to have kids at some point. We have watched as other friends and family have had kids and it seems to add chaos and complexity to all areas of your life. When life is so good at the moment it feels kind of crazy to turn everything upside down by having kids but it also feels like “the right time” in our life (plus biological clock of course) but I’m scared I will miss this period of life where it is just me and my husband and life is so easy I met this guy out and never got his number. He said he's not on social media. I looked on social media with no luck. I googled his name and found his linkedin. Can I message him or does this come across as incredibly stalkerish?

Ask Uncut - What Am I Meant To Do With This Information?
Hey Lifers, Hope you had a nice Valentine's Day, and that you didn't deeply shame a certain gift that your partner was about to give you...like we did. Vibes for the week: Britt: Society of the Snow on Netflix Keeshia: Luc Longley: One Giant Leap on Australian Story Laura: Lover, Stalker, Killer on Netflix (sorry fam, can't link netflix because it takes you to the sign in page) Then we jump into your questions! Last night I had a dream about another guy. Nothing particularly scandalous happened but I felt guilty so I told my boyfriend and it upset him quite a bit. Is he overreacting or is it better to not tell your partner about a dream involving another guy? My partner of 5 years recently had some significant family troubles and it's taken a toll on his mental health. He's found himself thinking about his ex, and wondering whether his life was happier when they were together. He says he wants to be with me, but I'm wondering if this is a reflection of his current mental state or if it's a reflection on our relationship. My boyfriend is a corporate king on $500k+. Although, whenever he does the groceries he walks out and never pays.. or sometimes pays for only part. I’m talking about meat, fruit, veggies, yogurt, pasta etc.. substantial items.. not like picking a grape and quickly putting it in your mouth whilst shopping. This does not sit well with me. He does it because “no one’s watching, and why would I pay if I don’t have to?" I think he also likes the “rush” he gets from it. He has very strong morals and values elsewhere and this can be seen a little off brand with the rest of his character. I’ve brought it up and said I don’t like it but he doesn’t see it as a big deal. I’m worried he’ll get caught and I also don’t want his young children to see this behaviour and think it’s right. Thoughts, opinions on how to navigate this?

What You're Doing To 'Fix' Your Anxiety Could Be Making It Worse - Uncut with Anna the Anxiety Coach
Hey Lifers! Today we are joined by the wonderful Anna the Anxiety Coach We’ve spoken about anxiety loads of times before but not in this way. This conversation focused a lot more on the physiological side of anxiety and how we need to use a range of different things to combat the stress of our everyday lives. We speak about: The things that people commonly do to try and reduce their stress or anxiety, and how they can actually exacerbate it Talk therapy is a bandaid, not a solution Personality types that were more likely to develop anxiety Whether anxiety is a product of nature or nurture We also spoke about anxiety throughout different life stages, anxiety developing in kids, whether that be us as kids or in our kids now and whether it actually helps if you can identify the cause or trigger of where your anxiety came from.

ASK UNCUT - The best friend, and the man who made his ex girlfriend watch
Hey Lifers! Today's episode is a little unhinged... Producer Keeshia is filling in for Britt and we simply couldn't not address the girlfriend in the room watching you with her best friend. If you haven't seen MAFS this week, a very twisted retribution attempt was confessed about a past relationship & over coming infidelity. We have many thoughts... Our vibes for the week: Keeshia - at home brow lamination brow code lustre Laura - Ready for it a Taylor Swift inspired podcast Then we jump into your questions! -My partner sees a female barber (this is fine), however she lives 30+ mins away, works from her house, wears skimpy aprons and gave him chocolates for Christmas. She also gave him a game to try recently… He sees her every 3 weeks and the last time he went, he shaved EVERYTHING. I’ve expressed my concerns and he said that I’m being insecure. Am I being insecure or is this weird? -Can you ever put conditions on an engagement? One of my close friends (male) wants to propose to his long term girlfriend. They are in their late 20s. She has never got her driving licence. There is no trauma/history around driving preventing her getting it. She just never learnt to drive as everyone drives her around. He drives her to all her uni exams, appointments etc. Friends drive her to all events. I know it does upset him as it can be a burden to always be the driver. There are no other relationship issues. He has asked me if it’s ok to bring up with her that he will only propose if she gets her licence. I am SO unsettled by this. I cannot work out if it is ok to put this condition on someone. Any advice? -My husband of 6 years and I have two beautiful boys aged 5 & 3. We always said we wanted 3 kids. Our perspective did change a little after our second as he was a handful. Now that they’re a little older I’m getting clucky again; except my husband is very adamant that he’s done having kids! I guess I just don’t know how to move past this feeling of having another baby. I’ve been thinking about it every day for a good 6 months I’d say. I know that if my husband isn’t on board then it is what it is- but how do I move past this feeling? -My recent ex of 5 years is back on tinder a week after breaking up with me. We had a kind and respectful relationship and he had said he would take a long time before being able to move on. I think he may have checked out a long time ago but kept saying future affirming things which masked a lot of his behaviour in the lead up. He has technically done nothing wrong in terms of timing but how do I move on from this and the feeling of being so re

Hey lifers! Today we are joined by the wonderful Megan Marx! We could have done an episode for each of the really interesting parts of Megan's life. She grew up in a cult, was married at 18 and divorced in her early 20s. She was one of the first bisexual people we ever saw on our screens in Australia & it wasn't exactly smooth sailing. Megan also speaks about being diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA6), a rare inherited neurological condition that progressively affects movement. She talks about being hyper aware of her own mortality and how the diagnosis has changed the way she lives her life.

Are Cosmetic Injections the New Fight Club? Propagating and Suing Because You're Undatable
Hey Lifers, Britt is on her home run of recording from Scotland. We chat about navigating long distance & how it's going to work for her in 2024. Laura is... propagating. Lots of propagating. She might be a lost cause at this point but at least the house will be filled with fresh oxygen! We speak about a man who is suing people who outed him on a facebook group as being bad to date. Sounds a lot like someone who wouldn't be great to date to be honest... We also unpack the new crackdown that the TGA is having on the advertising of cosmetic injections. While existing rules banned Botox ads, that didn’t stop clinics from scooting around them by using 'code words' like “anti-wrinkle treatment” and “lip filler”. But not anymore! Essentially there's no longer going to be any advertising of these types of services. We raise the question of 'is this going to reduce or increase patient education about the procedures that they may wish to have?' Is the TGA putting energy into scrutinising the right thing? We previously spoke about our views on cosmetic injections and you can listen to that here! Plus we have accidentally unfiltered and suck and sweet!

Hey Lifers! Laura is on struggle street. It's certainly not her year for health... We have our brand new life uncut team member jumping in today and he's got quite the 'vibe' for us all. Vibes for the week: Jono: group dates Britt: Jackbox Laura: Mother Life plant light Then we jump into 5 questions today! An ex who is still a part of my friendship group unfollowed me on instagram. He is now back with his previous girlfriend. Should I text him and ask why or cut him off? Can you ask out your chiropractor? We are both single and I think the interest is mutual but I don't know if it's crossing a professional line. My friend profited off a piece of furniture that I gave them mates rates on. I'm feeling pretty resentful that she took advantage of my generosity. Do I have the right to ask for the money that she made or is she allowed to do that? I've unintentionally become pregnant to a guy who I just want hangs and bangs from. I do not see a future. I've firmly decided to terminate the pregnancy but I don't know whether I should tell him or not. Does he have the right to know? What are your thoughts on your partner getting massages? I was having this conversation with my fiance and he said he’d “prefer it to be a girl” as opposed to a male massage therapist as "the nature of massages are quite intimate." Is this okay?

People Pleasers Anonymous! Better Boundaries with Terri Cole
Hey Lifers, Are you a people pleaser? Do you say yes to far too many 'favours' when you'd like to be able to say no? Setting boundaries is something that we all know we should do, but when it comes to the people who we love and care about, it can be a lot easier said than done. Joining the podcast is psychotherapist and relationship empowerment expert Terri Cole. Terri joined the podcast in June of 2022 for an episode on cheating. You can listen to it here! Today Terri shares her insight into everything surrounding boundaries. We chat about: Saying yes when you want to say no costs the relationship Why we don't want to disappoint people but we end up being people pleasers Having good boundaries will protect you emotionally Disordered boundaries and co-dependency The difference between control and having boundaries when trust has been broken Healthy parent-child relationship boundaries Why you shouldn't be best friends with your child You can find more of Terri here!

How Old is 'Too' Old & Why You Don't Want to F*ck Your Partner
Hey Lifers! We reached 500 episodes but we didn't realise so today we are celebrating 512 episodes. This is the biggest thing we've ever stuck to in all of our lives! Britt hates the happiest place on Earth and has a travel review that will really kick the Mickey out of you! How old it 'too' old to have a child? Does it completely depend on the specific circumstances? We dive into whether it's selfish to bring a child into the world past a certain age. Plus, Laura's been saying it for years. If you're in a hetero relationship, your partner cleaning the house and contributing to raising your children will make you want to have sex with them! There's a study that examines 4 different ways that heteronormativity contributes to low sexual desire in women partnered with men. You can read the whole study here. The TL;DR is your libido is not solely your issue to deal with.

ASK UNCUT - Who's Your Donor?
Hey Lifers! Welcome to your therapy Thursday where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions. Laura nearly died on her way to work today, Britt's needs to look out for the sucky sharks and Producer Keeshia has a big life update. Our vibes/unsubscribes for the week: Keeshia: Drew Birnie's Traction Newsletter Britt: American Nightmare on Netflix Laura: unsubscribing from Saltburn Then we jump into your questions! I have a beautiful friend. She is married and in a same sex relationship. She has one toddler and is pregnant with her second baby. Both share the same biological father, a sperm donor. I recently became good friends with a different mum friend through my husband. Her baby is the product of a sperm donation due to her husband’s fertility issue. The two children of my two different mum friends look identical. Eerily similar. Both are pretty vocal and upfront about their IVF and sperm donation stories and the donor information they have shared with me is crazy similar; same nationality, same height, same age, same hair/eye colour choices etc. Do I bring it up with either of them? It seems entirely possible but I don’t really know what to do. The kids look so alike! I’ve been with my partner for nearly 5 years. I have begun to realise that we are super different in many ways. He is really introverted and runs out of social battery fast. He prefers staying at home and gaming with friends whereas I love camping, going on road trips, adventures and travelling. We’ve tried some of these activities together and it uses up his energy pretty quickly or it just ends with a migraine from the sun and I don’t really enjoy gaming. It worries me that our differences will get the better of us long term but I still really like him. For milestones such as birthdays and anniversaries he isn’t very good at planning anything or getting any gifts and says that he has no time. Are shared interests really important in relationships/what would you do in this situation to decide if I’m in the right relationship? I go to a prestigious University and everyone there is well off and always very posh and well dressed (Rolex, Cartier, LV, the works). I’ve had to fake it till I made it my whole way through trying to fit in. I am often embarrassed in public by my family, they’re polar opposite of me and are very loud and obnoxious, very Aussie if you know what I mean. I am a very self-conscious person and it’ll ruin my day if I think someone is judging me and I’m scared this will happen. I don’t want to offend them and I love them but is it okay for me to ask them to act differently and tone it down for my sake? Any help is appreciated. One of my closest friends has an almost 1 year old baby. Her partner and her are the type of people who love having TV on in the background at their house most of the day (e.g. think music video

WE ARE BACK BABY! Did he put a ring on it? And taking swipes at your ex
Hey Lifers, It's so nice to be back in your ear holes!! We are coming to you cross hemispherically (but you're not to trust Laura with geography). First up today, we have a big catch up about what's happened over the break! This catch up included Britt frolicking to the nicest destinations on the planet and Laura being hospitalised with pneumonia. So, you know, same same! We have a big chat about asking your friend when they're going to going to get engaged/proposed to. Do we all need to stop doing this? We also talk about whether you should, if given the chance, take a swipe at an ex. Chelsea Handler hosted the critic's choice awards the week after her ex boyfriend Jo Koy hosted the Golden globes and the two monologues were like chalk and cheese. The audience's laughter and acknowledgement of joke writers really showed who came out on top. We also discussed whether gendered jokes are okay in one direction and not the other. You can watch Chelsea Handler's whole monologue here. It's so nice to be back and we're really excited about what is planned for this year!

Ask Uncut - Don't Tell Your Partner You Weren't Attracted to Them
Hey Lifers! We're in with our last ask uncut of the year! Britt is in Scotland and scaring strangers in her apartment complex. Have you experienced a bit of a sliding doors moment with your partner? Maybe your paths almost crossed before you actually met, or something happened and it meant that things could be so different to what they are now! We have a chat about a woman who is going viral for a post she made about how she wasn't attracted to her husband. It's getting...mixed reviews! Vibes for the week: Britt: movie - Promising Young Women Laura: Netflix doco Bad Surgeon: Love Under the Knife Then we jump into your deep, dark and burning quesitions! I’ve been with my husband for 13 years. Recently an openly gay dude who he’s acquaintances with started sending him messages at all hours of the night telling my husband how much he likes him and that he can’t stop thinking about what his 🍆 would look like etc. We would also wake up to deleted messages in the morning (so the friend had deleted it before my husband read it). It’s made me really uncomfortable. Yes, my husband showed me the messages but when I asked him to tell the friend to stop, he wouldn’t. He said “I’m not gay so it shouldn’t matter.” Eventually my husband messaged the dude and told him to stop but he did it in a way that was so undermining to me. The message was basically “I’m as shocked as you are, I don’t mind the messages but my psycho wife has lost her shit about it so to save my sanity could you just not send me those messages anymore”. The messages stopped but after that I feel so differently about my husband. I feel like he betrayed me….. just by the lack of respect and throwing me under the bus to the other guy. What do you think? Have I over reacted here? Last night my husband and I were just chatting and the conversation turned to our sex life. We’ve never watched porn together. I asked him if he had watched porn before, since we’ve been married and then again after our first child was born. During that convo, I became curious and started asking more questions but he said he didn’t want to talk about it anymore as it made him uncomfortable. Instead of listening to him and respecting his wishes, I kept questioning him. He got frustrated as I didn’t respect his wishes and he refused to talk about it anymore. I then became really upset and angry. Not because he put a boundary in place, but because he’d watched porn since we’d been living together. We’ve always had a great sex life (with the exception of dry times after the kids) and have always been open with our communication about it. Him watching porn since we have been living together and being married makes me feel like I haven’t been enough for him and like I’m not good enough, and he has to get pleasure outside of me. However, I actually don’t have a problem with porn - I’ve watched it myself before, watched it with previous partn

Am I an alcoholic? Emily Weir from sobriety to Home and Away
Hey Lifers! In this episode, we sat down with the talented Emily Weir, known for her role as Mackenzie Booth on "Home and Away."

Making Christmas Christmassy & What You'd Do If Your Partner Lost Their Memory of Your Whole Relationship
Hey Lifers! It's so crazy that Christmas is so close! Britt is on her way to Scotland. Laura is not carol'd out. We have a bit of an accidentally deep chat about making Christmas feel special and how we can feel at this time of the year. Britt was mistaken for someone else but we all know she needs to clean her car before she could do well in that job! A few days ago we were sent a message from one of our listeners and it was such a big conundrum that we wanted to unpack it today. The short version is that our listener has been in a relationship with a man for a year, and they have kept it on the down low. He was king hit a few weeks ago, severely concussed and now has no memory of their relationship. She doesn't know what to do or how to be a supportive partner. We chat about Laura's personal experience that is quite similar and how we think she should go about supporting her partner.

Ask Uncut - Why Did We All Google This?
Hey Lifers, Welcome to therapy where we unpack all of your dilemmas! First up today, kids with second child syndrome and main character kids that potentially need some resilience. Christmas hams are the ultimate raffle prize and they will now be coming home with Laura more often. We unpack the top google searches in Aus for the year. Some were to be expected and were a bit of a surprise. You can check out the whole lists here at The Daily Aus Vibes/Unsubscribes for the week: Laura: Unsubscribing from "Leave the World Behind" on Netflix Vibing Carols on the Beach Britt: Instagram content creator Anna Louisa at home Keeshia: Podcast by the two ex Good Morning America hosts wrapped up in the affair Amy & TJ Then we unpack your questions: - I gave birth 4 weeks ago and my partner last night said our sex life is sh*t and it’s affecting him mentally. He said he doesn’t want to spend time with me because I never want to do it or “even give a blow job”. I really don’t want to so I won’t but I also think I have difficulty with sexual intimacy with him because after our last 2 kids, I felt pressured into having sex again 3 weeks after birth which was wrong. Where do I go from here? I feel like I have no sexual drive towards him but he thinks I have something wrong with me. -I was out with 2 friends and we were buying drinks in rounds. When it was my turn to buy the next round, I started a friendly chat/ flirt with a good looking guy in line who offered to buy me a drink. I said “I appreciate it but it’s my round for the girls so I’ll get it”. He insisted on buying the entire round… I summoned my friends to the bar and he bought the 3 of us a shot and a drink each. Very generous. Later in the night, my friends wanted another drink. When it was time to pay she turned to me and said “it’s your round”. I replied “you both scored not 1 but 2 free drinks from what would’ve been my round, so isn’t it back to you?” My friend laughed and called bullshit and said it’s still my round since I didn’t pay. If you took care of 2 free drinks on what was your round by queuing and flirting, should you still have to pay for the next? -I’m single and whenever I go away with friends or family I always get the trundle bed/ couch, so all the couples get the double beds. Even if I go away with my girlfriends they refuse to sleep on the air mattress on the floor. Should it be ok for me to ask to pay less for the accommodation because I get the shitty bed on the floor when everyone gets a proper comfy bed? -The other day my partner of nearly 8 years and I were discussing fantasies.

My mum is a narcissist - Talking Narcissism part 2
Hey Lifers! Today's episode is part 2 of diving into narcissism. You can listen to part 1 on narcissists in romantic relationships here! Now we are taking a deep dive on having a narcissistic parent and how to navigate co-parenting with a narcissist. Firstly we are joined by Monique. Monique and her siblings grew up with a mum who was the most noticeable person in the room. She was generous, she was incredibly beautiful and she was also a narcissist. We speak to her about how her and her siblings felt about themselves growing up, her mum's manipulative behaviour & subsequent affair and how she went about actually cutting her mum off for good. We often hear the phrase 'blood is thicker than water," but for Monique, her life has been a lot happier since severing that relationship. Then we are joined by Nova Gibson. Nova is an expert on narcissistic abuse, the founder of Brighter Outlook Narcissistic Abuse Counselling Service, and the author of "Fake Love." Nova speaks with clients every day who experience narcissistic parents and she has an incredible insight into how to navigate these complex relationships.

Plus we chat about how many of you have been through break ups this week because December 11 is the most common day for relationships to end!

Ask Uncut - It's Just a Joke
Hey Lifers, Welcome back to therapy where we unpack your deep, dark and burning questions! Last night we went on a fancy shmancy boat and Laura accidentally got a little handsy with... not Matt. We speak about the latest trailer that netflix dropped of Ricky Gervais' upcoming comedy special that contains a 'joke' about terminally ill children. It raised a lot of questions like: -Comedy often relies on pushing boundaries, but where should the line be drawn when it comes to making jokes about vulnerable or marginalised groups? -Are we just okay with jokes if they don’t offend us? We discuss! Vibes for the week: Laura: Sam Fischer's new Album I love you, please don't hate me Britt: Podcast the garden of eden Keeshia: Ice Baths Tub from the dope here & Gary Brecka's research Then we jump into your questions: I am living with my boyfriend’s family at the moment until our house is ready to move in. I was looking after my nephew and niece, when I grabbed my mother-in laws phone to bring up YouTube (which we normally do). On the phone I read a message from her boss about the things he wants to do to her sexually and other things I want to erase from my brain. My sister in law was with me at the time and also read the same message. She is still married… so we both know, we haven’t confronted her about anything. I haven’t told my boyfriend and I don’t feel like it’s my place to. What should I do? Ignore that I ever read the message?? Every time I look at her I think how could you. -My partner & I had been dating for 7 months. We have plans to move in together and travel Europe in Feb Mar 2024. Two weeks ago he dropped on me that he'd be travelling Sri Lanka with his sister from Boxing Day until 14th of Jan. I cried when he told me he was going and I blew up when he booked the following day. This leaves me, a pharmacist working on call at a metro hospital alone over the Christmas - New Year period. He thinks I'm being unreasonable and can't see that I'm left feeling abandoned. I'm a single child. Do I just not get it? Or should my partner be spending time with me over this time? Since I can't visit my friends or family who live interstate due to work. I have a friend who’s been having an affair for a few years now. The guy is a lot older than her and one of the reasons they aren’t together is she wants kids. She is now engaged to her partner that she’s been cheating on for years and I’m invited to the wedding next year. I don’t know how to respond or how to have the conversation to see if this marriage is something she actually wants? She has said she is in love with this other man but still loves her fiancé. Do I say something to her or do I just turn up at the wedding and have a good time? I feel mixed.

Ask Uncut - He's just not that into you
Welcome to therapy Thursday where we unpack your life dilemmas! First up, Laura's obsessed with the original 'quiet quitters' and they're pigeons. You can see why here . There's a bit of a conspiracy theory going on tiktok where people are claiming that they've been conned by restaurant owners! They are saying that they have been chatting to people on dating apps, and teeing up a date at a restaurant only to be stood up at the restaurant. So what do they do? Well, most of them end up buying dinner and drinks for themselves! Is this the most ridiculous conspiracy theory you've ever heard or do you think there's merit here? Vibes for the week: Laura: Netflix Doco "Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey" Britt: Dog Poncho Towel by Dog Keeshia: Lorna Jane 'The One' sports bra & Two Doting Dads episode Depression & Anxiety - Breaking the Stigma Then we jump into your deep, dark and burning questions: -My friend and I are moving out together to a rental. My boyfriend didn’t want to move out as he is happy living with family and is not working full time like my friend and I.My question is… when should you make your partner pay rent or put money towards things as he is bound to come stay multiple nights. Is it if he stays x amount of nights? What kind of boundaries do I need to set? -How important is it to talk through your issues after having a disagreement with your partner? My partner and I tend to have issues, get cross with each other for a couple of days and then just go back to normal like nothing ever happened. Part of me thinks this is ok as we can’t always be hunky dory, but there is another part of me that thinks there needs to be resolution and understanding when there are issues? I grew up in a household that was not good at resolving conflict so learning on the go now -I was ghosted by a guy who has come back and apologised for treating me poorly. I accepted the apology and we kept chatting. Last night I sent him a meme of a cat (he has a cat). We got onto the topic of dating and so on. I asked if he thought things would be different or the same if we dated now. He said probably the same and that we aren’t compatible because I have a dog! My dog is a small non barky toy poodle and is crate trained, sleeps in his own room and is an angel. So even though this guy and I get on super well and the sexy time was great at the time, his deal breaker on compatibility is because I have a

Ask Uncut - Back ups, Bills and Bed Side Manner
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to therapy where we all share our shit and feel better about ourselves! First up today, well... it's chaos. Bills need to be paid and they're multiplying! But we also need to learn to distinguish the difference between a legitimate bill and a scam. *Brittany Hockley we are looking at you. We're all up to date with our skin checks, but Laura's got a bee in her bonnet about specialists waiting rooms. Vibes this week: Laura: Black Friday sales (swipe up swipe up ToniMay ) Britt: Hand held steamer Keeshia: (snuck in two) Habit tracker app (This is the apple version) Podcast episode of The Daily Aus - Why a war crime whistleblower could go to jail Questions for today: I’m 49 and have been divorced for 3 years after a 26 year marriage. I’m quite content on my own and have great friends but I recently decided to try online dating, just to see what it’s about and to have some male company and my profile says ‘nothing serious’. Anyway, I’ve been catching up with one guy once a month for dinner and sex; he is really lovely. Last weekend I went on a date with a different guy and he was wonderful too. My problem is… can I date 2 guys at the same time? I feel so guilty. The first guy probably wouldn’t mind that much but the second guy would hate it. Do I have to tell them about each other? My partner of 3 years has told me if I don’t ‘put out’ more he is going to leave me. We are both in our early 30s and his number 1 priority in a relationship is sex. We currently have sex twice a week and that isn’t enough for him. He told me our sex life is shit and makes him unhappy and people our age should be having sex all the time. I have vaginismus which is getting better but I don’t find sex enjoyable. I cannot orgasm from penetration, it can be uncomfortable but I can still have sex. He has said everything else in our relationship is perfect but the reason we are not engaged is because of the sex.. I feel really low about this. Any advice please I’ve been dating my boyfriend for the last year and a half. I've been a nurse for the last 5 years working with children and I've seen some terrible things. When we first started dating he mentioned he didn’t like hearing these “horrible stories'' so I lessened them. Just recently I was talking about work again and he said the same thing “I don’t want to hear about these stories.' I obviously don’t want to upset him but from time to time I want him to listen to my day and just vent. Am I being ridiculous by being upset that my partner can’t handle listening to my stories here and there? Or do I just stop talking about work altogether? <p

Take care of Maya - When Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is Misdiagnosed
Hey Lifers, Britt had a big surprise this week and Laura had a wonderful family holiday; except for one part where she said something to a stranger that has made us want the ground to swallow us up! We unpack the redemption story that the Kardashians are trying to pull off with one of the world's most notorious cheaters Tristan Thompson. It raised the questions if your sister's or friend's partner cheated on them, and they forgave them, do you have to as well? Do you have to be okay with whatever they decide? Does it depend on the specific situation and what happened with the cheating? We also discuss the documentary on Netflix "Take Care of Maya" and the court case that resulted in a $211 million payout last week. We speak about Maya's mother being mislabelled as having Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy and the tragic outcome for their family that resulted.

Ask Uncut - When a threesome turns into a pregnancy
Hey Lifers! Britt and her follicles are back on the mic! Britt gives us an update on where her eggs are at and how round 3 of egg freezing is going. And Laura poses the question - Is talking so much about egg freezing increasing fertility anxiety? We chat about Taylor Swift's maybe PR, maybe not PR relationship. Vibes for the week: Laura - Pet Ancestry tests! Buster is learning his heritage Britt - Podcast The Trial: Ashling Murphy Then we jump into your questions & today has the most hectic one we think we've ever received. -My fiance and I had a threesome with a friend. Everything was consensual and respectful of boundaries. The woman who we had this threesome is now pregnant and my fiance is the biological father. He said that he was quite drunk (we all were) and he vaguely remembers the condom may have broken. I’m so embarrassed about how jealous I am now feeling that this is all happening and am even starting to question our relationship moving forward. It sounds awful because it’s no one’s fault that this happened but I am not sure if I can accept that this situation, it’s just become way too much for me. -My boyfriend and I have been thinking about making a sex tape for ourselves. What’s your thoughts on this? Have you/would you ever make one? I’m not sure how exactly to go about it as I obviously would hate for it to go anywhere else but it would be cool for both of us to have access to it. Would love your advice on this subject! -I have been with my partner for 3 years . We own a house together and are engaged. Since February I have been feeling unsure if I want the relationship. Everything on paper seems good. But I am just not physically attracted to him. I even sometimes feel embarrassed that I am with him. On the other hand we get along really well. I also feel secure and have a lot of trust in this relationship. I have never had this before. He adores me so much and I mostly enjoy his company. I love the life we have built together so far but I also find my eyes wandering. No action, just wandering. I do however feel maybe I have settled for a nice guy but maybe not someone I am crazy about, maybe out of fear.

No more good girl - Uncut with Elise Loehnen
Elise Loehnen is the host of the podcast “Pulling the Thread” and is the co-author of 12 books, 5 of which were NYT best sellers. But then she wrote her first book under her own name “On our best behaviour. The price women pay to be good,” which was also a New York Times Best Seller. Before all of this Elise was the right hand woman to Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop, she hosted the Goop Lab TV show and Goop podcast, and was Goops Chief Content Officer. In this episode we take a big deep dive into WHY we seem to be so impressed by 'the hustle' and how rest has been branded as lazy and sloth-like. We speak about how women in particular struggle to 'switch off' and delegate the mental load of their families. We also spoke about jealousy, envy and why women try to tear each other down. Elise speaks about utilising feelings of envy as a driving force to show us what we actually want in life. She explains how we've been conditioned to suppress anger and the scarcity mindset placed on women. You can find all of Elise's work, her podcast, book & newsletter here!

The fine line when it comes to injectables, and the intimacy paradox.
Hey Lifers! Producer Keeshia is filling in for Britt today! Today's episode takes a stroll down a few different avenues. Laura forgot that she had a pap smear and went to have one again... ironically we spoke about it on the podcast the last time Keeshia filled in. We discuss whether there's a hesitation at the moment for people to be diagnosed with ADHD because it's become very popular on TikTok/in the media. Keeshia has been properly diagnosed and we will do a whole episode where we unpack it at some point. What do we want when we talk about people having cosmetic procedures? Do we want transparency or does that 'normalise' it to the point of it being promotion? Is it fair to expect people to buck the trend and 'age' naturally when they also are a product of the societal pressures to remain 'beautiful?' Plus Laura speaks about the current ebbs and flows of her relationship at the 1 year wedding anniversary mark. We unpack the intimacy paradox and how to keep desire in long term relationships. Is it even possible to expect novelty and spiciness when you also want stability, support and reliability from your partner?

Ask Uncut - When You're the Only Single One in Your Whole Friendship Group
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to your ask uncut therapy session! Today is a biggie because Laura is back and covid free. Britt's been hogtied and mortified from the little ratbag that is Delilah. Laura's luggage is finally back in her hands so the life updates are full of highs and lols today. We break down possibly the pettiest court case to exist in the celebrity space between Robert De Niro and his ex assistant Chase Robinson. It's time to pick your fighter and choose your side. He claims she stole $60,000 worth of frequent flyer miles and watched 55 hours worth of Friends in 4 days. She claims he was inappropriate and asked her to scratch his back and be available to book bus tickets for his kids on the day of her grandmother's funeral. It really could be the plot line for a movie. Would De Niro play himself? Vibes for this week: Laura - Prime video "shiny happy people" Britt - Netflix Last Stop Larrimah Keeshia - The Quokkas kids music group Then we jump into your questions! -I have been dating this guy for a few weeks and we get on really well. But his driving is so bad, he spends more time looking at me than the road. He rides/pumps the accelerators and is so harsh on the break. It makes me feel so sick. I haven’t ever gotten car sick but twice now his driving has made me feel so sick that I have had to end the date a little early. Should I say anything? How can I see a future with someone that constantly makes me car sick -I work in the corporate world and get paid 8:30-5. Currently my workload has been good so I have been able to leave at 5:30 most days. When I have a lot of work I will work back late and have even worked on public holidays (unpaid). There are other juniors in my team (who have less experience than me) who always stay back until around 6pm, so essentially I’m usually the first junior to leave. I’m almost always the first person to arrive. I also have more experience so generally am more efficient, will often work through lunch and won’t chat for super long during the day. I’m worried our bosses don’t see this effort and just see me leave first every day. I’m also worried that the other juniors don’t think I’m working as hard as them, as there have been some comments that they stay late every day and I feel they’re subtly aimed at me. -I'm a single mum of 3 young kids, I’ve been separated for 7 months now.. I haven’t had any interest in meeting or sleeping with anyone but I’ve recently developed a crush on one of the coaches at my gym! I was with my husband for 12 years, married for 8 (I’m 34 for context) so my question is, I have no idea how to show him I’m keen/put the feelers out.. I’m sure he wouldn’t want to date me as I have a lot of baggage but I’d be happy with a shag 😆 but also would it be too complicated because I then have to see him regularly? Such a dating rookie, don’t know what to do 🙈</p

Laura's got Covid 🦠 A new theory on Oxytocin and A Principal's newsletter
From the highest of live show tour highs, to the depths of viral lows, we've had quite the week. Laura's luggage is on a little journey of it's own and is...most likely... still in Brisbane (*trying to get more info on this). Laura, Producer Keeshia and Mitch have all fallen like dominos from covid and somehow Britt's immune system is still going strong. There's a neuroscientist who has claimed that there are chemical reasons that women fall in love with men when they are having sex; whereas it's not quite the same for men. The science is a bit up for debate but Laura has some anecdotal evidence she'd like to bring to the table. We also unpack a newsletter sent by the headmaster of the Sydney all boys private school where Lilie James was murdered where he labelled her murderer as 'not a monster.' These types of character descriptions, along with other accounts of positive personality traits are a way for people to distance themselves from the idea that they know someone capable of such violence. We don't want to think that a person we know or care about is capable of such evil behaviour. A huge part of breaking down the false perception that society has around domestic violence is that we need to better understand that these men are 'normal' men, who live where we do and hold normal jobs. We also discuss how certain media using phrases like 'scorned lover' diminishes the responsibility from the murderer, and contributes to victim blaming.

Ask Uncut - Can I bone my ex besties situationship?
Hey Lifers! We're coming in hot after the very last live show last night in Brisbane! What a whirlwind month! Thank you so, so much to every one of you who came and had a ball with us at the shows; they were really a dream come true. Vibes for this week: Laura: Dear Jane podcast Britt: Wagatha Christy on Disney plus Then we jump into your questions that are very friendship based dilemmas this week! My best friend, and I have been besties for about seven years. A couple of months ago we both went travelling separately. I went with my boyfriend and she went on her own as she had broken up with her partner, so she went overseas for a holiday to find herself. She met a guy over there who she is now living with. I never saw an issue with it, and never raised any flags until she ran into some trouble and needed help from me, her mum and her “ex- boyfriend” back home. This is when it all unravelled for her. It turns out she never broke up with the boy from home and has been lying and cheating on him for a couple months. I had to tell him that she was cheating on him. I had to break her boyfriend's heart and tell him the truth about what she had been doing overseas. We found out that she actually intended to move overseas for this other guy, and she just left her boyfriend at home sitting around waiting for her to return from her 6 week holiday. My question is, how can I go back to being friends with her after she’s lied, manipulated me and put me in a very uncomfortable position with her boyfriend!?? How can I trust her again?! Plus this is the second time in our friendship that I have been in this position! I was having a few glasses of wine on Saturday night scrolling through tinder when I came across my ex besties, ex situationship. She has always said it was just purely sex and she didn’t ever really like him that much. I swipe him a like and we match, he messages me being very flirty asking if I am still living with my ex bestie as he would love to come over and see me. We move to Snapchat and things get hot 🥵 I no longer talk to my ex bestie and it seems she is in a very happily one year relationship. Should I feel bad for wanting to have sex with him because I feel no shame whatsoever. He’s very cute and I’m very tempted to text him to come over, but I know it will lead to sex, what should I do? I met a guy on hinge, it’s been 5 weeks and things have been going great. Early on he told me that he’s slept with one of his current housemates a few months before I met him whilst he was drunk, twice. He said there was nothing between them although she did have feelings for him which was one sided. I’ve always struggled with boundaries and am pretty uncomfortable with the whole thing but am well aware it’s pretty early days. At what point do I bring this up and what’s reasonable to expect?

Ask Uncut - Petty grudges and cold feet
Hey Lifers! Welcome to therapy Thursday! It's time to unpack your deep and dark dilemmas! First up today we chat about a girl who had the longest running grudge we've ever heard of. Crazy or correct? We will leave that to you to decide. We also hear what your most petty acts were. Vibes for the week: Laura: Mac face and body and MCo beauty xtend mascara Britt: Book trilogy - The Bronze Horseman by Paulina Symmons The questions we unpack this week are: -I am getting married in 3 weeks! I don’t know if I am getting the normal cold feet to the legit ick. My partner has never been good when comforting me or saying the right things if I am upset. Today I found out our family dog has untreatable cancer and we don’t know how long she has to live. All I wanted to do was tell him everything and have a simple hug and kiss for comfort When I told him about my dog all he said was ‘awww sad’ and then after an awkward silenceI said ‘so what should we have for dinner?’ and then left to shower and cry alone. I know your partner can’t be everything but is it normal to expect comfort and empathy at times like this? The episode with Mark Groves is here! - Create the love - Uncut with Mark Groves -I’m 22 and I have been in a relationship for almost 2 years and I love him so much. We live together and have traveled all around together. He truly is my person. The only issue is, he’s starting to go bald both at the back and in front. How do I broach this subject without making him feel bad about it, and to open up the discussion so that he doesn’t feel like I’m attacking his looks? -Recently my dad gave my sister his car - roughly worth about $20k as he no longer needed the car. My sister is a single mum with a good job earning good money. I have two young children and a husband. When I brought up to my dad that I was a bit hurt that he gave my sister a car and my family didn’t get anything, he told me he didn’t think of the car as money and basically dismissed my feelings as he didn’t see it that way. My question is am I being unreasonable to expect something as well?

The 'Currency' of the Ageing Woman - Uncut with Trinny Woodall
Today's guest is just so fabulous! It's Trinny Woodall. Trinny Woodal is an extremely successful business woman, entrepreneur, TV presenter, author, podcaster and fashion expert! Trinny's story is one that would take hours and hours to talk about. At 26 Trinny went to rehab, got clean and started in an entirely new career. At 35 she underwent 16 rounds of IVF. At 53 she started Trinny London. In the last few years she has grown that business into one of the most successful makeup and skincare companies in the world. We wanted to speak about the belief that a woman's value declines as we age. Society has us so focussed on holding onto our youth, but Trinny is a bit of a juxtaposition to this. She has such a refreshing take what women bring to the table as we age.

Who Owns a Story? From Beckham to Britney
Hey Lifers! We're home from the Melbourne show and it was LIIIIIT! We were so lucky to have had a surprise interview with Tones and I where she shared some stories about her life that have never been shared publicly before. Today we take a deep dive on who owns a story? Firstly we unpack the re-exposure of Rebecca Loos, the woman who, 20 years ago, had an 'alleged' affair with David Beckham. She has spoken out since the release of the Beckham bio pic on Netflix about David's lack of accountability, playing the victim and having herself thrown back into the spotlight when she doesn't want to be. Secondly, on topic of who owns a story, we dissect Britney Spear's memoir and the details that were released as publicity for the book. She disclosed that Justin Timberlake claimed they were too young to become parents. Does she have the right to share this story? Does anyone have the right to disclose someone else's experience around abortion? Your answer to those two questions may be different because this is a bit of an unusual situation.

Ask Uncut - I don't love him, but I want a baby
Hey guys, First up today, things are a bit...ahhh not classy. There's a vomit tax being added to a bottomless brunch and we all lack so much dignity that we've taken doggy bags from buffets. Cozzie livs crisis, ya know? Vibes and unsubscribes for this week: Laura: The moment I realised my dad killed my mum on No Filter If you'd like to listen to our episode with Lynette's neice Renee, you can here Britt: Netflix's "Lupin" Keeshia: Unsubscribing from Jada Pinkett Smith Vibe Fact or fiction- the Briefing episode Then we jump into your questions: I’m 31, recently found out I have a very low AMH level and endometriosis and I’m in a relationship with someone I know isn’t my soulmate. We’ve been together for 7 months (we decided early on to start trying) and so far not having any luck. I just bought my first house, and he is 37, still living in a shared house on a mattress on the floor. He already has an 8 year old from a previous relationship. Although I know our relationship is not right, I am so overcome with feelings of panic of being childless and feeling like my time is running out. I feel like I need to stay with him. I have always dreamed of having children and the thought of potentially becoming single again and not getting that opportunity sends me into a spiral of helplessness and despair -My husband and I have been married for 10 years & we have 2 kids. Our sex life, I think, is good; usually once per week on the weekend. He has asked me if I was alright with him living out one of his fantasies. He would like to go to a rub and tug place. Is this cheating? I don't really have a problem with a random person getting him off, it's not like it means anything. What do you think? -I used to love having sex but now I dread it. I loved having sex until I gave birth to my baby 2 years ago and now I never feel the desire. I just do it because I know my husband wants it. I also used to go down on him a lot & used to like masterbating but I don't really do either anymore. I know he feels rejected and I feel bad. I thought the urge would come back and I don't know what to do GET TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOW HERE If you have a question please send it on it to life uncut podcast on Instagram here Join us on tiktok Or join the facebook group here

Ask Uncut - Laura's new s*x soundtrack, scrapped from the guest list and too much baggage
First up, may we please ask you for a hot little sec to vote for us in the Australian Podcast Awards Listener's choice?! Laura has been getting down to cocomelon sound tracks and it's official; we're not envious of her sex life! She mentioned the episode we did with Johann Hari last year and it's a banger. If you'd like to listen to it, you can here - This One Is For The Scatterbrains Vibes: Britt - Paramount plus show - Special Ops Lioness Laura - News app Feedly Then we jump into your deep, dark and burning questions. I received a save the date for a friend’s wedding a year ago, the wedding is at end of this October and haven’t yet received a formal invite (currently beginning of October), even though I know other people going to the wedding have received theirs. I have drifted from this friend over the past year and would not be upset if I was no longer invited, as I am currently planning my own wedding and am having a very hard time with my own guest list. My question is: do I say anything? Do I get my other friends to ask on my behalf? Or do I just leave it? This listener is living abroad and loving her life, but the dating scene there is grim. “I’m turning 30 this year and I know it shouldn’t and is stupid but it weighs heavily on my mind. I can’t stop doing the biological clock maths. I will go home in a few years anyway, but my dilema is should I go home early now to meet someone. I love my life here at the moment and although I’d be happy at home, moving right now would be purely for that reason. For context I’ve always enjoyed dating in my home city. Is it silly to base such a huge decision on finding love, or is it realistic and worth it to make the decision for love? I feel as if all my friends back home are getting engaged and coupled up and like I’m missing the boat. I'm a 33 year old female whose brother was diagnosed with late stage cancer a couple of years ago. I'm heavily involved in treatment and support and have put my life on the back burner to focus on him and support my family for the last couple of years. I've put dating on the back burner and have a real desire to meet someone but I carry with me a very heavy heavy life and responsibilities which a lot of people aren't looking for - especially on the dating apps, where they often say things like "I want someone who doesn't take life too seriously" I just don't know how to navigate dating when my life has been consumed by sadness and hospitals the last few years.. How do I approach that with people I date? Any advice is so appreciated GET TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOW <a href="https://www.l

Ask Uncut - Photo vaults and his exes nudes, Lies and Pet Support
Hey Lifers, Welcome to therapy Thursday where we unpack your deep, dark and dirty questions. First up today we're chatting about the simple way to see if your friends actually like you! Annnnd we want to know which word you mispronounced once and it still haunts you to this day. Vibes for this week: Britt: Peaky Blinders on Netflix Keeshia: Wild with Sarah Wilson - Left is Not Woke Laura: Headspace Tools about the referendum Then we jump into your questions! -My partner still has s3x videos of his ex in a secret album in his phone. We have also made videos together and the secret album is where it is safely kept. Going to watch our video is actually how I found out about the old video with his ex. I asked him to delete any old stuff he has of his past relationships and he said that he would. Now, 2 weeks later I checked and the video is still there. What should I do? -I went for a job, it’s a once in a lifetime, rare and amazing opportunity sort of thing. I'm 23 and everyone there is a bit older than me. Although I’m young I can honestly say that I’m extremely mature for my age, I’m just so sick of people judging me for my young age, and I hate being the youngest person in the room. So when I was asked how old I am? I said without thinking, "I’m 26." I immediately regret it and I’m shitting myself that I’m going to get caught out. What should I do? Do I take this to my grave? Do I tell them the truth? -When you've bought a pet (in this case a dog) with a partner and you break up, can you ask for 'pet support' (financial input from them ongoing) to help you pay for the pet that you keep in the break up?

Ask Uncut - What's the Price of Love?
Hey Lifers! What's the price of potential love for you? Shall we say $500 per month? Because that's what Tinder is proposing! We run through the ins and outs of paying for dating apps and how much our attitude has shifted over the years with subscription based dating apps. Vibes for the week: Britt: Sex education season 3 on Netflix Laura: Apps - Keeper password manager Keeshia: Copper tongue cleaner Then we get into your questions! I've been with my husband for 6 years and we have 2 kids together. He didn't know that our family iPad synced up with his phone. On the iPad, there are phone numbers of sex workers that have been blocked. I can see that he has also been messaging sex workers on OnlyFans and offering them thousands of dollars for certain things. I contacted one of them and she confirmed that they had had facetimes, but never met up in person. I feel lost about what to do and how to go about this. Please help. I run my own business and almost lost it after the damage from a bad ex. Years and years on I’ve found this beautiful man and we have decided to move in together. My concern is that my business now earns 6 figures after YEARS of working 6-7 days a week… Do I need a prenup? I am nervous it will damage our relationship but I know logically I need to protect my business and my new property. Emotionally I am scared I will lose him and do damage even by asking or showing the papers My partner always wants to grocery shop together, I would prefer to do it solo and alternate weeks (more efficient). What do I do with that? Please note that we do not have kids so it's not like we're too time-poor to do it together. He views it as wanting to spend more quality time together, I see it as a waste of time 😆 how do you compromise on something silly like this??? Is it okay to tell people to be quiet when having sex because you can hear them?? Specifically my sister and her girlfriend. My sister lives with me and her girlfriend is SO LOUD when they are intimate. It’s driving me nuts. I read at night and the moans I hear disturb my peace 🤣 do I let it be? Do I say something?

Now, Ali is off on the trip of a lifetime with her partner and her sister before she makes the very difficult decision to end her own life. Euthanasia is a complex discussion.

ASK UNCUT - How much eye contact during s*x is too much?
Hey Lifers, If you're looking for some travel tips, DO NOT go to Brittany Hockley. This one should be a sweet reminder that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is... Yes, she did recommend a 'points' app a few weeks ago and it would seem like she might need to refresh it! GET TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOW HERE In today's episode we announced that the wonderful Rebel Wilson will be joining our show in Sydney, Ellidy Pullin and Em Carey are going to join our Gold Coast show and the other shows will be announced soon! Vibes for the week: Britt: The Trial of Lucy Letby Laura: Jessie Stephen's latest book Something Bad Is Going To Happen Keeshia: Skincare School Then we get into your questions! I’ve been in a relationship and living with my partner for about 3.5years now. When it comes time to have any deeper conversations he consistently shuts down, whether this be about our relationship or discussing deeper topics of interest like politics, unpacking childhoods, relationships with parents, misogyny, the patriarchy, racism, religion etc. He will always listen and he is happy for me to say what’s on my mind however he never knows how to respond or how to add to the conversation other than to say nothing or make a senseless immature joke. I really struggle in these moments as it makes me feel really alone. Like I am giving a lecture to someone or having a conversation with myself. I don’t know what is the “normal,” amount of “deeper” conversation that most men typically engage in and for how long, or for how often? I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do, or if I am being unreasonable in asking for too much? Eyes closed or eyes open during sex? My partner will wake up first thing in the morning and check his phone in bed while he’s next to me and reply to work emails and messages he’s missed overnight. Whereas I’m the type of person who likes to wake up and not go on my phone straight away. He will also often talk to me while on his phone and therefore not fully hear what I’m telling him. It really irks me as I like to have more boundaries around technology. I know I can’t and shouldn’t tell him what to do but I’m also struggling on my end because of it. What can I do? We had a really great conversation with Johann Hari about how we can be so distracted by technology that you can listen to! If you have an question please send it on it to life u

Is young divorce 'chic' now? And living with schizophrenia with Elfy Scott
Hey Lifers! Producer Keeshia is in the hot seat today but Laura's been on the stirrups seat! We kick today off with some pap chat. Click, click, click of the speculum and some 'interesting' questions of who you'd like doing your pap smear were raised. Em Rata is wanting to brand being divorced in your 20s as 'chic.' Previously we spoke about micro marriages and with Olivia Rogers about her divorce. We unpack whether young divorce needs a rebrand and whether Em Rata is a bit too privileged to label it as "chic." Joining the podcast today is journalist, podcaster and author of ‘the one thing we’ve never spoken about,' Elfy Scott. Elfy grew up in a household where her mum’s schizophrenia was rarely spoken about inside or outside of their home. Today we’re going to unpack the reality of what living with schizophrenia is actually like as well as the stigma that we have surrounding complex mental health conditions We chat about: How our understanding of what schizophrenia is is wrong Diagnosis, misconceptions and stigma Different types of hallucinations/delusions Schizophrenia presenting differently in men & women Why it's possible to have an onset of schizophrenic symptoms when you have a baby If you'd like to grab a copy of Elfy's book you can here Follow Elfy's Instagram and check out her website If you'd like to access some helpful resources, Elfy recommended Sane In this episode we mentioned an episode that we did on bipolar.

ASK UNCUT - A guide to flirting
Hey Lifers, If you're looking for the link to vote for the Australian podcast awards LOOK NO FURTHER! (Click this link) Welcome to flirt school. Here you'll learn what to do, and quite likely exactly what not to do. How much is too much eye contact? Have you tried breaking that eye contact and taking your gaze to a forehead? We unpack... Things start off today with some plant talk and it's no stretch to say that Laura is not quite on the path to being a green thumbed goddess. Hopefully the plants can be rescued from the compost. Vibes/unsubscribes for the week: Britt - Halty style of dog lead Laura - Netflix Live to 100. Secrets of Blue Zones Keeshia - Unsubscribing from people using descriptive words in second hand ads Ben - Mark Manson documentary on Apple TV Then we jump into your deep, dark and dirty questions: I’m currently on maternity leave so I’m home a lot. We have a security camera at our front door that my fiancé and I get notifications for when someone’s there. However my fiancé is obsessed with looking at it every time it goes off, literally EVERY time.. so it feels like I’m sort of being watched with whatever I do. I made a comment a while ago that it makes me feel a bit weird and it’s giving controlling vibes and he was apologetic and said it was absolutely not his intention, he said he will stop looking at it, and he stopped commenting on every time a notification went off. But now he’s doing it again. Is this normal?! Last night at dinner my partner told me he had masturbated the night before as he was in the mood but I had fallen asleep. He always watches porn if he’s going to masturbate- which I’m totally fine with. However, my question is: is it weird for your partner to masterbate while watching porn, when I’m in bed next to him sleeping?? I find it a little strange and weird knowing he was getting off to some porn while I was right there next to him. Not because it wasn’t me he was getting off to, just the fact he had to do it while I’m there sleeping. One of my absolute pet peeves is not receiving a thank you for my generosity. I’ve given them gifts, home cooked meals and heartfelt cards. I’ve previously travelled interstate for a wedding and contributed to the wishing well. Some of them I don’t even receive a thank you from unless I bring it up. Am I being unreasonable?

Ask Uncut - Can you expect monogamy if you no longer want sex with your partner?
Hey Lifers! There's a lot going on today: ringworm, TV free lives, and pre peacocking. Big question for ya, if you are in a long term relationship and you stop wanting to have sex (for any reasons), can you/should you 'allow' your partner to fulfil their sexual desires somewhere else? There are so many factors that come into play with this question, and we unpack the grey areas. Vibes for the week: Laura : Errr not having a TV Britt: Cruel Summer on Prime video Keeshia: Only murders in the building on Disney+ Then we jump into your questions: Should I feel guilty about having a sex dream about one of my boyfriend’s single friends? This is maybe the second time I’ve ever had a sex dream and I woke up very horny. My partner and I have been together for 8 years. Within the next few months he is going to receive a portion of his inheritance from the sale of the family business. It is a huge amount (8 figures). He sat me down last night and explained to me that (his exact words) he did not trust me with his money and he wants me to sign a prenup/binding financial agreement before he receives it. I'm really hurt by the way he has raised this issue. Am I right to feel upset or am I overreacting? I separated from my husband of 12 years about 2 years ago, it was a defence family so I spent a lot of my marriage alone looking after our 2 young kids whilst he was away and feeling very alone, unsupported and unimportant compared to his work. I became very depressed. I have recently started dating someone & he is a widow. His girlfriend passed away 3 years ago with cancer. He has had flings but nothing more since. Now after we spend time together he feels guilty and depressed because of his grief. I understand this is very normal. My question is… do I persist or will I be 2nd to something else again? This sounds wrong but I suffered years of never feeling like I was the priority.

We have a question for to ask yourself, your friend, colleague, partner or kids. How can I be 1% better? You can interpret this however you wish.

Ask Uncut - Crazy Hormones, Salmon Sperm Facials and Story Stalking
Hey lifers! First up, TICKETS TO THE LIVE SHOW HERE! Little update on Britt's fertility and where her (small) eggs are at! We unpack the weirdest beauty treatments including salmon sperm facials... We also talk about how it's refreshing to see people like Julia Morris being open with the cosmetic procedures they elect to have. Our vibes for the week: Britt: Point hacks au on instagram Laura: Painkiller on Netflix (and also Dope sick on Disney plus) Keeshia: Denton Ultime Pillow Then we jump into your questions: My ex and I have been broken up since march. He wanted to get back together, I didn't and so he blocked me on social media. I’ve found out that he has a new girlfriend of 2 months. A week ago unblocked me and started viewing all my stories. He doesn’t follow me so he has been intentionally looking me up and stalking me. I know I shouldn’t care but what the hell? I still have feelings but also know I don’t want to go there again and wouldn’t because he has a girlfriend. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ? Should you uninvite a friend from your birthday party if they don’t even text you on your birthday? Context, I’m having a limited seating birthday lunch and had to be tight with the number of people I invited. When I put the invite out a few weeks ago, she responded saying that she would like to come but wanted to bring her partner as well. I said yes, and allocated 2 of the limited seats to them. My party is coming up now, as I had my birthday last week but the thing is, I haven’t heard from her in weeks. I didn’t hear from her on my birthday and not since. I feel annoyed that I gave up 2 spots for them and feel like I want to tell them that they can’t come. Is it crazy to message the family, mum in particular, of a guy who has ghosted you? We dated for a year, but we were long-distance. I was supposed to see him in 2 weeks for the first time this year but now he's ghosted me. He said he's super overwhelmed with work and it takes a toll on him but he loves me so much. Never did he ever say that we had ended, he simply has ghosted me. I can see that he's following a couple new girls on instagram, so clearly he has time on his hands. I want him to know that no one deserves this and he can't get away with treating people like this but he won't respond to my messages. I'm not going to keep pushing him but I want his family to know how he's treated me. I know it's a bit crazy, but I want to know whether it is completely unacceptable or not?

Not everything happens for a reason. Grief and life after loss with Lotte Bowser
Hey Lifers! It's Britt and Keeshia's birthday! The conversation around milestone anxiety (especially because one of them is turning the big 3-0) rears it's head again. Laura & Producer Keeshia unpack whether Keeshia's joy around her birthday this year is linked to being in a relationship & what it means we need to be doing for our single friends on their birthdays! There's a new study that has shown that (in hetero relationships) men are more commonly the first to say "I love you." A particularly interesting part of the study showed that it usually takes 69 days for them to say it... we're not the ones crunching the numbers here. Then we get into a truly great interview with Lotte Bowser. Lotte Bowser is a writer and podcaster. It was a modern day romance where two people both swiped right and fell in love almost instantly. They moved in together, they travelled together, they got engaged and then in 2019 Ben was diagnosed with terminal cancer. In late 2020, Ben died and Lotte had to 'say goodbye' from a hazmat suit. Lotte has had to learn how to navigate life as a young widow and how to move forward with her life. In this chat we speak about: -The stages of grief are bullshit -Grief can be so isolating and so lonely -How to support someone through the loss of someone, and also what not to do -Finding purpose and moving forward after someone you love has died Lotte has co-written a grief workbook called “Now, what?” with friend of the podcast and host of Darling Shine Ellidy Pullin and is currently writing a book of her own.

Ask Uncut - Misheard Lyrics, Catching Yawns & Do You Need Marriage to Solidify the Commitment?
Hey Lifers! Welcome to your therapy Thursday! This episode is not brought to you tourism Magnetic Island, but it would be understandable if you were mistaken. Happy 70th birthday to Laura's dad and big shout out to all of the koala's. Today we lost it laughing hearing all of your misheard lyrics! We officially feel better about the silly lyrical mistakes we make! Vibes for the week: Keeshia - Sleep! Sleep tracking, rain sounds (rain, rain and myNoise are good) and this episode of a podcast with Dr Matt Walker on the Diary of a CEO Britt: Chrome coloured nails Laura: the Life Uncut live show! Then we jump into your questions: My partner doesn’t yawn at the same time as me. He doesn’t “catch” my yawns. Does that mean he isn’t emotionally connected to me? My bf and I have been together 5 years, lived together for 2, bought our dog a year ago. We both see our future together and always talk about it. I feel really strongly about getting engaged and have been pretty clear about it but it is not on his mind. He always says things like "what's the rush" and "we have everything we need" and I think he genuinely believes and means that. He says he doesn't "feel ready" and that it's not me it's him. His parents are divorced, so are his grandparents, uncle, Auntie, sister's husband. The family is full of divorce. I am from a family where there has been no divorce. I think we see marriage and engagement very differently because of this. It has created some tense conversations and we both understand how each other feel but neither of us will budge. Am I being stupid getting so worked up over a ring when everything else is great? My best friend has always struggled with not feeling good enough for the men she dates. She has had a few situationships but last year she got into her first official relationship. I really don’t like her boyfriend but I haven’t said anything. However, over this past year I’ve heard him make comments about her weight. She has also lost A LOT of weight since being with him. Last night we went out for dinner and he made comments like ‘you should work out more’ ‘when we get done with dinner you should jog back to the car’ and ‘are you finishing all of that?’. I’m worried about what his comments are doing to her mentally. How do I talk to her about this?

Ask Uncut - Glass Houses, Falls From Grace and Google Calendars
Hey Lifers! Producer Keeshia is filling in for Britt today and she would love your thoughts on whether or not saying "I love you" for the first time needs to be a special moment or not? We unpack the 'rules' of who can and can't be cancelled, why that is and whether there's a set of standards for some, and a different set for others. Vibes for this week: Keeshia: Ultraviolet queen screen SPF 50+ & podcast The Money Expert: "Do Not Buy A House!"... The 10 Ways To Make REAL Money! Ramit Sethi Laura: Dry brushing your body Then we jump into your questions: My uncle who I love has written a self published book, which is amazing. The problem? I hate it and would say it’s potentially one of the worst books I have ever read. The female characters in particular are very one dimensional and are written as perfect wives or sex objects and nothing in between. He is over the moon and keeps pushing me to promote it in the many writing forums I am a member of. He has now asked me five times if I could write a review on a very public and prolific online book club to help promote it - what do I do? Can you tell someone if you don't like the present they got you? I met a guy on Hinge and to begin with things were really great. We 'made it official' at the 3 month mark, I'd met his friends etc. Not long after this he broke up with me via text while I was away for work. Fast forward to May, he apologised, said he knew what he did was wrong he still didn’t know why he did it but he wanted a second chance. We began spending time together, taking things very slow just dinners and a couple of dates. We start sleeping together again and he tells me how happy he is. He then goes on a work trip and has since ghosted me. What the hell happened! What should I do? I haven’t heard from him for 2 weeks.

Ask Uncut- Shooting your shot, rebuilding yourself and a partner who hates your friends. With special guest Lalala Let Me Explain!
Hey Lifers! First up today, we unpack all of the terms that you hate, and, ahhh we might need to amend our vocabulary! There's also a woman who fell in love with the man who robbed her (yep, we checked. The article isn't satire). Vibes for this week: Laura: The Deepest Breath on Netflix Britt: We the Wild Plant Care Keeshia: To end all war: Oppenheimer & the atomic bomb on Binge Joining the podcast for a special edition of Ask Uncut is sex and relationships educator, social worker, Agony Aunt, author and podcaster Lalala Let Me Explain! Lala is a top secret squirrel and remains completely anonymous online, but unpacking dilemmas and giving top shelf advice is what she does best! Today we jump into these questions: How do you gain confidence with men in public and approach them if you wanna shoot a shot? My boyfriend who I lived with for a year just ended things. I’m currently sharing a bed with my mum, all my belongings are in my car while I wait for my childhood bedroom to be cleared out for me to move back in. I'm also having to find a new job. I genuinely feel so dependent on him like I don’t know who I am anymore without him. How do I get back on track? How important is it for your partner to get along with your friends? Everything else in our relationship is great, my problem is that he doesn't like my friends and becomes closed off and quiet around them. He says they're 'weird' and he is quite judgemental of them. How big of a red flag is this when everything else is so great? Check out Lala's Instagram! She has a killer pod that you can listen to here! And you can get a copy of her book.

Ask Uncut - Life is Short, Have an Affair
Hey Lifers! First up today we unpack the Ashley Madison Affair doco (on Disney Plus). We were glued to our screens and it brought up a lot of questions within the team! Questions about infidelity and consent, what's worse; cheating or leaking everyone's data? Did this website 'save' relationships? We unpack. Vibes for the week: Laura: Esther Perel's podcast episode Donor Daddy Britt: "Hijack" on Apple TV Keeshia: Grace Beverley's podcast episode with Caroline Calloway Then we jump into your questions: I have just found out I’m pregnant. I have been sleeping with the same two guys for months now and it could be either one of them as the father, as I slept with them both 2 days apart and I conceived somewhere in there. Other than being super confused about what to do with the pregnancy, I am also confused about what is best to do in regards to telling these guys. Should I tell them both? I met a guy at a work conference, had a hot fling and he's gone back to London. We are planning on meeting up in Bali soon! He's just told me that he lives with his ex (they broke up last year). She was meant to move out but hasn't. The long distance thing is something I can handle, but am I being unreasonable to tell him that now he really has to stop living with her if he actually wants to be with me even though I’m on the other side of the world? I met a guy on tinder 7 weeks ago. Initially we both said that we were just wanting to spend time with, hangout, have fun and get to know before getting into anything serious. We've now been on a weekend away together but haven't slept together. I've just found out that he's still matching with and dating other people. We are still going on dates and kissing/holding hands. Should I keep seeing him or end it? Link to Matthew Hussey's episode that is mentioned in the episode is here!

Vibes and Unsubscribes for the week: Keeshia: Julia Louis Dreyfus' podcast "wiser than me" here Laura: Unsubscribing from the ATO and indexation of HECS loans Britt: Squirt and mop... yeah. That's the vibe here The questions we unpack today are: My partner has thousands of dollars worth of sex toys that he's collected over years and years. Can I ask him to 'start fresh' or should I be okay with using the existing toys? My partner is not pulling his weight to support our family and often doesn't want to work. I'm getting the ick from his lack of ambition. Is this understandable or am I expecting too much? Note, we have one kid and another on the way I asked my boyfriend to block his ex-girlfriend on Instagram (a boundary of mine and not sure if this is a healthy boundary or not) and I’ve just found out that he’s gone out of his way to unblock her.

On today's episode we are talking purpose anxiety - but before we do we unpack the whole Jonah Hill saga and the Leaked texts from his ex.

Sabina helps us unpack where we get a sense of purpose from and how it's probably not what we think it is.

Then we find out a lot more about who Ben is and what it was like growing up in Switzerland and becoming a professional footballer (not soccer player; we listen and learn). -I matched with a guy on hinge and things were going really, really well. I was the first person that he'd been with since a bad break up a year ago. After a few weeks of everything going great, he's now become really "busy" when ever I try to make plans. I haven't seen him for 3 weeks. He tells me he likes me and likes hanging out with me. I've reassured him that I'm happy to take things slow because I really like him. -Is it always the case of "if he wanted to, he would" -How does an emotionally unavailable person become emotionally available?

Ask Uncut - Is it an ick, or is it your unconscious bias?
Hey Lifers, Laura should be on her honey moon and Producer Keeshia is in the hot seat today! First up, we unpack Lewis Capaldi's performance at Glastonbury. A moment of kindness from the crowd. A huge step in the right direction of visibility of disability. But is some of the commentary around what happened patronising? We discuss. Vibes and unsubscribes for the week: Vibe- (courtesy of Jo from Beauty IQ). When you're going on a flight with someone else, pack a change of clothes in each other's bag incase your bag gets lost on the way. At least then you've got a change of clothes. Unsubscribe- apple air tags are too expensive for the basic device that they are and you absolutely should not be strapping them to your kid Then we unpack your questions. If a relationship cannot survive a 6 month stint of long distance, is it the right relationship at all? Should I be concerned if my new partner tells me he experimented with his sexuality when he was younger but claims he has sorted it out and is now into women? Note: I am not attracted to bisexual people and it puts me off a bit. Is it weird to want to organise your own hens? I have bridesmaids, who I love and can’t wait to do all the wedding things together and party, but I also want to be in control of what we do. Am I a control freak or is it ok to do my own?

Ask Uncut - Laura's unhinged and Britt's a unicorn psychopath
Hey lifers, Laura's unhinged (again) and Britt might need to unpack why she finds enjoyment in true crime because there's a psychologist who says that's kinda weird. Do you relax by watching true crime? Our vibes and unsubscribes for the week: Britt - Netflix's 'Arnold' Laura - Influencers who ask if their followers want to see holiday content Your ask uncuts that we unpack this week: After a night out myself, my boyfriend of 1.5 years and one of my best girl friends (who is gay) went home together and one thing led to another and we ended up having a threesome. We had never spoken about the possibility of doing this and it’s the first time it’s happened. Since it’s happened I can’t stop picturing my boyfriend having sex with my best friend as I just laid there next to them, and I feel sick. Since my best friend is gay I feel like it meant nothing to her, but he is straight and chose to have penetrative and oral sex with her. Is this something I should be concerned about? Can we move on from this? I’ve tried to talk to him about it but he’s not overly fussed about the situation and is kind of de-validating my concerns (ie saying “we’ll you were involved just as much as me”) My best friend recently matched on Bumble with a guy from America. Although he is currently living in America, they matched because he had his status set to traveling in preparation for an upcoming trip to Aus. Over the last few weeks they’ve been texting, calling and FaceTiming every day and are totally smitten. They’ve even been discussing wedding plans for this summer and choosing baby names. They’ve also talked about her moving there because he said with his job he would have to start from square one if he moved here. She said she knows it all seems crazy but she’s sure he is her penguin and that she’s never felt like this before and neither has he. He’s coming here at the end of next month and I’m just so skeptical!! Am I right to feel that way? Or should I just be supportive of her happiness? She’s just come out of a tumultuous couple of years in her personal life so I feel super protective of her. HELP! Do you flush the toilet at night time if your partner or housemate or family are asleep? What’s the etiquette? A friend of mine got married a few months ago and then asked a group of friends to plan the hens. The wedding was really small and the kicker was that none of the friends who were asked to plan the hens were invited. We all find it a bit weird that we've been asked to plan the 'fling after the ring' despite not being invited to the wedding If you have a question, or an ask uncut aftermath, send it in to our Instagram You can join the facebook group here and follow us on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/

Ask Uncut - Can I post your baby?
Hi Lifers, Welcome back to another Therapy Thursday where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions. On today's episode we have some goodies! Should you always ask the parent before sharing a photo of their child on social media? I'm a new parent and I've had some ask and others not. It makes me feel frustrated that they don't ask/have the etiquette to ask me first. Am I stingy? A couple friend of ours invited my partner and I over for dinner. We have hosted them a few times. I asked "is there anything you'd like us to bring?" to which they responded "No, that's okay. We can add up how much it all costs and let you know how much to transfer." After dinner they asked me to transfer $15. It's left a weird taste in my mouth. Is it normal to ask your dinner guests to transfer you money for dinner? My partner and I have been together for 10 months and we live together, but he doesn't want our relationship on social media. He is okay with me posting things of him, but he doesn't post anything of me. Am I silly for caring about this or do you think it's an issue?

Ask Uncut - Big Ben is in town and joins us on the pod!
Hey Lifers! Britt's boyfriend Ben is here and making his life uncut debut! Hope you enjoy the sultry tones of our Swiss sensation! First up Britt and Ben share how they met and are making their long distance relationship work! Vibes for the week: Laura: Natural deodorant "no pong" Britt: Bicarb soda and vinegar to flush out your dishwasher and washing machine Then we jump into your questions: When flying (usually for work, like a 1 hour trip), I usually chat to the person/stranger seated next to me on the plane. Like conversation the whole way. I was just in Sydney this week for work, and colleagues commented that this is weird and I should just go to sleep or put headphones on. Am I a weirdo for having a chat? I have been with my partner for over 2 years. We had a difficult relationship from the start, and we had so many conflicts. Lately, the conflicts have been really bad and he has told me things like "I don't love you anymore" - "I am not attracted to you" and so many other small things (you are too emotional, too sensitive, you talk too much etc" - but when I asked him the question "why don't you break up with me then!" - he says, it does not feel right. We had so many break up chats, but neither of us could do it. Is it normal to have these types of conflicts? And if not.. Why is he not breaking up with me if I am such a burden? Do you think it is unreasonable to be told what to wear to hens? I understand having a theme but on top of paying for accommodation, activities and drinks I now have to buy an outfit that I will likely never wear again to fit a specific theme.

Ask Uncut - He's in a sexless marriage, can I be his side piece?
Hey Lifers, Britt's stuck her foot in it (unexpected) and our favourite Laura is back!! First up today, a queer bar on Oxford St has had enough of the hens and bucks parties! Our friend Xander joins us to chat about his experiences in gay bars and the reasons behind why this decision has been made! Vibes for the week: Laura - Triangle of Sadness movie on Amazon Prime Britt - Iced coffee cubes Questions for today: I met a guy on an app and he is seeking one person to have FWB. He is in a sexless marriage, and not wanting to leave his wife. Personally, I am fine with what he wants as that suits what I’m looking for, and it’s his decision if he is choosing to cheat. I have not actively gone after him. I know it’s wrong but I’m so over doing what is right for everyone else when I just want to have some fun and I deserve that. I have been cheated on in the past and it is horrible. But if it’s not me he will still do this with someone else. My question/worry is that if I meet someone down the track, do you think this would be something they would judge me for given the situation? Does this make me a bad person? I’ve been with my partner for 2 years now and he has a child with his ex partner. He has baby bump pictures of his ex in his phone, some of which she is completely naked in. Am I being a complete psychopath and jealous because I want a baby with him but he isn’t ready so him having these photos makes me super sad and I feel like this is such a horrible thing for me to feel. Is this ok? My partner and I have been together for 6 years and lived together for 4. My ideal bed time is 10pm however my partners isn’t until 11pm. I like to go to bed at the same time as I tend to sleep better and don’t get interrupted when he gets in. It might seem comical but we are often arguing about bedtime! Is this an area of contention in other relationships? How do you suggest we manage this? Presume other couples like to go to bed at different times so there must be a solution here!

Ask Uncut - Sis, is this your man?
Hey Lifers, Britt is teaming up with Producer Keeshia today while Laura keeps her step-ball-changes on point! Firstly, how do you feel about the Facebook groups that are designed to reference check your possible dates? Do you think it's helping the sisterhood or is it more problematic and a chance for revenge? Britt is feeling very defensive about her home styling. 3 professional photoshoot framed pics of Britt and Ben; is it a shrine or is it play on? Vibes for this week: Britt The Oodie Keeshia Bioderma shower oil Then we jump into your questions: Do you think the guy should make a booking at a restaurant if he asked you out? I had a first date on Friday night and the restaurant was packed and there was a one hour wait because my date didn't think ahead to book when he had picked the restaurant and asked me out 🙃 I got the ick really bad after that as we had to walk around trying to find an empty restaurant to go to. Do I have a right to be upset if my best friends forget my birthday? I always know their birthdays by heart but without Facebook reminders or me making note of it on my social media, my birthday will pass without any thought on their part. It feels hurtful and I feel forgettable My partner is about to propose & whenever he brings it up, he says, "I’ve planned the perfect moment, but just warning you, don’t have high expectations for the ring." My dream ring is $10k, which I understand is a lot of money, but he also has a decent job and about $100k sitting in savings, buthe ‘doesn’t think it’s about the ring.’ To me, it’s such a special and important symbol of our union and something I want to keep forever! I feel horrible saying this, but I’d rather he never propose than propose without a ring I love. If you have a question, or an ask uncut aftermath, send it in to our <a href="https://

Ask Uncut - Not your Darl!
Hey Lifers! Welcome to your therapy Thursday where we all trauma bond and feel better about ourselves because other people have bigger problems than us! First up today, we unpack whether an Australian designer or a reality TV influencer is in the wrong. Is it fair to out someone if you think they're wrongly asking for a hand out, or is it more wrong to try and publicly humiliate someone? Our vibes this week: Keeshia: The Briefing's episode "Was Queen Charlotte the UK's first black Queen?" here Britt: Jury Duty on Amazon Prime Video here Then we jump into your questions! Our next door neighbour is a sex worker, and we have a 4 month old new baby (read: sleep deprived, exhausted, overwhelmed, all the things). We don’t have any issue with sex work, it’s just… really loud, a lot of spanking, whipping, moaning etc. This is a problem because on the rare occasion we get to sleep, we are often kept awake by the noise. I’m conscious it’s her job though so what can she do? Vice versa, a crying baby probably isn’t the best for her business. Help! 😩 Are terms of endearment in the workplace ever appropriate? I’m getting married in November and some people are assuming they’re invited to my wedding. I’m talking to the borderline friends that I see maybe once or twice a year saying statements like “I can’t wait for your wedding” or “have you finished your guest list”. It makes me super uncomfortable and I don’t know how to respond so I just kind of awkwardly laugh. Do I just need to wait for people's disappointment when they don’t get an invite or do I tell them now that we don’t have enough space for them and they’re not on my list? Help!

Ask Uncut - To Assume or Not Assume, That Is The Question
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to therapy Thursday. Producer Keeshia is filling in for Laura today because she has a big announcement coming! She's been training really hard at ninja school. We kick off this episode with asking whether you still have the exclusivity conversation with someone that you've been seeing. Is it implied or do we still need to actually chat this out? Britt gives us an update and some more details about her pre cancerous skin treatment and ask you what the silliest reason you've Our vibes for the week are: Keeshia: wire free bralettes that go up to big cup sizes here Britt: Firefly lane on Netflix Then we jump into your questions: I have a bit of a troubled relationship with my mum. Nothing she has done has been actually problematic but we just simply don’t get along. I find her to be excessively passive aggressive, she belittles how I parent and whenever I think about going to family events or talking to her it causes me a lot of anxiety. With mother’s day coming up this weekend, I’m feeling super uncomfortable about having to be all lovey dovey and get her a gift and tell her she’s a good mum. I feel really guilty for feeling like this because I know a lot of people have it much worse. I’m meant to be taking my two kids to see her on Sunday for mother’s day and I just feel so uncomfortable. Does anyone else feel like this? What should I do? I've been in a committed relationship with my partner for just over a year now. But... My question is about knowing about his past relationships. At the start, in our dating phase, I never really asked him questions about his ex's (how long they were together, how serious it was, if they met his parents/family, why they broke up, how they met, etc). Now we're deep into our relationship and I feel nothing but secure with him, so it feels odd to bring it up ... But I still catch myself being curious about his past relationships and I just want to know. Maybe it comes from an insecurity deep down in me cos I really don't like the thought of him being with other girls in the past. I don't know? Is it normal to want to know or does wanting to know only stem from insecurity? Do I need to know? Should I ask & if so, how? I have been talking to a guy for months now and we just recently went on 2 dates. He seemed genuine and in my eyes we seemed to get along really well. Although then one day he just stopped replying. Is it reasonable to ask them why they stopped replying or just forget about it and move on?

Ask Uncut - the not so purrrfect Met Gala
Hey Lifers, Welcome back to your weekly therapy session! This week we're kicking things off with a bit of an in house debate and it's farshun honey! Look it up! Speaking of fashion, we're unpacking whether you can separate someone's legacy and the art that they've created from who they are as a person. Can you celebrate someone who has made a huge impact on the world despite not agreeing with their controversial views? Vibes this week: Laura: L'Oreal Paris Paradise Mascara Intense Black here Britt: Great lengths hair extensions here Keeshia: Podcast episode of The Daily - The ballad of deepfake Drake here Then we jump into your questions: -Have a question for all your dog owners out there. How many of you let your dog sleep on your bed? If so, how do you have sex (solo or with a partner)? Is it a bit of a mood killer having to stop, lock your dog outside, listen to it cry for being locked out, do your thing then let it back in the bed? -Would you date someone with the same name as your sibling or dad? I previously dated a guy with the same name as my brother. I met a guy out on the weekend and we had the most amazing time together but I don’t think I can take it further simply because he has the same name as my dad... Is this robbing myself of my time with someone who could be a potential partner or is it too weird? -I am 19 years of age and I currently work in childcare full time. My workplace is all females, who are majority mums. I work in the same room as this 37 year old who acts like she’s in high school. She gossips, bags and talks shit about other workers and loves to be overly overpowering in the workplace. Me being the overthinking person I am, I’m constantly worried she’s talking shit and it’s affecting my confidence in my ability at work.

Ask Uncut - Cheaters never win, they come third.
Hey lifers! Welcome to your little therapy session where we unpack some dilemmas going on in your life. First up, there's a woman who has cheated her way to the podium and it's just so funny, we must discuss! Vibes for the week: Laura: Matty J's new podcast that you can listen to here Britt: Netflix mini series "American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing Then we jump into your questions: At what point does thinking about an ex go from curious, where you look at their social media etc to see what they've been up to, to unhealthy? Is it weird to cut your toenails in the shower? My partner and I argue about this all the time! He likes to cut his toenails in the shower so the clippings go down the drain. I get a massive 'ick' from this and would much rather he cut them straight into the bin! One-on-one dinners with my long-term boyfriend are awkward. We spend a lot of our time together, so when it comes to a sit down, across from each other, I find that at times we have nothing to talk about! Does anyone else feel this way?

Joanne McNally - The art of riding a lover to sleep
Hey Lifers! First up today, it's Laura's weekend from hell, and to top it all off she's been deeply offended by her own offspring. We then asked you what's the most awkward thing you've said during sex and it turns out we all need a class in 'sexy-talk'. Then we are joined by the hilarious Joanne McNally! Joanne is an Irish stand up comedian and the host of podcast juggernaut 'My Therapist Ghosted me.' In this episode we have a very unfiltered chat (Joanne wouldn't have it any other way) about what led her to comedy, being adopted, her non-existent pelvic floor and wild dating past. We also take a bit of a deep dive behind the scenes of how our personal lives shifted after starting podcasts and everything becoming public content.

Ask Uncut - The MOST controversial proposal of all time 💍
Hey lifers, Ever wanted to be frightened to death to a proposal? Neither! But this guy thought it was the perfect, romantic plan! Vibes and unsubscribes for this week: Laura vibe- Country Road bike shorts Britt Unsubscribe - Coachella Then we jump into your deep, dark and dirty questions: 1. My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. However, I often think about the time I slept with his younger brother one drunken night, only 2 weeks before my boyfriend and I started seeing each other. I don’t know if my boyfriend knows this happened, I certainly haven’t told him and I’m unsure if his younger brother has either. Do I tell my boyfriend about the one time we slept together? I’m not sure how he’d react and if he finds out later down the track… but given he may already know, is the fact neither of us have ever brought it up weird? 2. I’ve been with my partner for 6 years and we have a 12-month-old. Today he had a serious talk with me about being present and my phone usage. He works full time and I’m the primary caregiver. When he gets home, I get to have a break, so I enjoy my time going on tik tok and Instagram. I feel all the mum guilt right now. Am I being a shit mum? How do I approach this? 3. There is a girl that I used to be quite good friends with. Not best friends, but close. Her and I had a falling out about a year ago. It resulted in me blocking her on social media because of some really nasty things I found out she had said about me. I’ve been trying to get pregnant for about a year and a half now. I’m having blood tests and trying to work out why my partner and I can’t seem to fall pregnant. Over the weekend, I saw some mutual friends post that this girl I used to be friends with was pregnant. They were at what looked like an early baby shower for her. I am livid. To the point where I understand it’s possibly irrational but I can’t help how I feel. It is the only thing I have been able to think about. I’m so angry that this person who was horrible to me seems to get to have the one thing I want most in the world. Do you have any advice on how I get over this jealousy? I’m a mess and I don’t feel like I can say this to any of my friends because I understand how horrible it is that I am reacting this way. If you have a question you'd like us to answer, send it over to our Instagram DMs. Join the Facebook group Follow us on Tiktok And tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mental fatigue and how to make vulnerability a strength - Uncut with Hugh Van Cuylenburg
Hey Lifers, First up, Britt's back from Scotland and has an update on the psychic reading she received. Laura needs to teach Matt a thing or two about tampons and we asked you the sneakiest way they did the dirty on you! On today’s podcast we have the wonderful Hugh Van Cuylenburg. Hugh has joined the podcast before. He is the founder of the resilience project. In this episode Hugh speaks about why he has stopped telling the story of the resilience project, mental fatigue and who owns vulnerable stories.We speak about shame, seasons of our lives and thinking we want things other than what we actually have. Hugh’s mission is to help people understand that being vulnerable is a strength, not a weakness. He believes that by embracing vulnerability and building resilience, we can navigate life's challenges with greater ease and positivity.

ASK UNCUT - Will the billboards please think of the children!
Hey Lifers! First up today we are sharing a beautiful story that happened within our facebook discussion group community. The kindness of Julia during a time where a family felt so vulnerable is something that ought to have you smile. You can join the facebook discussion group here - Join the Facebook group! Then we are unpacking whether the OnlyFans billboard ad is 'a bit much' or whether it's all power to ya! At the very least, this has got to be one of the most successful marketing tactics we've seen because every news site (and cmmm us) are talking about it! Interested to hear your thoughts on this one. Vibes for the week!Britt- Netflix's Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling NowLaura- App 'Timetree'. Then we unpack your questions. Is it rude to tell someone in person at the end of a first date that you aren't interested in seeing them again? Even if you know that you're not interested, should you wait until later to send a message or ghost? My husband (who I truly love) makes a weird breathy sound when he sleeps. It wakes me up. I have said that I want to sleep in the spare room and he seemed really offended. What do you think? My partner has a piece of jewellery that his ex bought for him. He still wears it. Firstly, is it silly that I care about this? Secondly, can I buy him a piece of jewellery to replace it or is that weird? Follow our Instagram and our Tiktok!

Is your name wi-fi cause I'm feeling a connection - Talking connection and compatibility with Dr Ali Walker
Joining us today is Dr Ali Walker. Ali is a Human Connection Scientist with a PhD in group dynamics. She has spent a large part of her adult life wanting to understand more deeply why we seem to 'click' with certain people and 'clash' with others. It's likely you've heard of introversion and extraversion, but Ali's research goes a step further and helps us understand how we connect with certain people; it's through two frameworks she labels 'frequency' and 'intensity.' We were so interested in how this can be applied to our romantic relationships. friendships and even our workplace relationships. Do 'opposites' actually attract? Turns out no, and that would likely lead to a bad relationship. Ali unpacks exactly how alike we should be with our romantic partners! We also unpack the three different types of loneliness and how you can be surrounded by people but still feel lonely. You can get more of Dr Ali Walker's research and her new book "Click or Clash' here https://awalker.co/ We also unpack the new doco by Brooke Shields called 'Pretty Baby' (on Disney plus) and the hypersexualisation of children in pop culture. Maybe things haven't changed as much as we think they should have. Join the Facebook group! Follow our Instagram and our Tiktok!

Ask Uncut - Can you not take a picture of me without me knowing?
Hey lifers! Welcome to ask uncut where we unpack your dirty (and clean) dilemmas!Britt is calling it in from Scotland and Laura would like to know if there is anything you are passionate enough about to forgo the use of a bathroom. The questions we dive into today are: -When does 'public' photography cross the line of privacy? Do people have the right to be taking photos of other people without their consent to build a profile under the guise of lifestyle photography? -I've been with my partner for 1.5 years. He is very attractive, however, when it comes to sex I'm not attracted to him. The whole experience does not turn me on. It's a classic jackhammer. What's worse is that he thinks our sex is good. Everything else is great but I don't know how to speak about this with him. -I've been with my partner for 11 years. We have a 1 year old. I've been on maternity leave since our baby was born. I absolutely loved my job and was getting further in my career. I'm unable to return to work because of child care. Some days he says it's 'his responsibility to be the worker and I'm lucky to be at home with our baby.' If we were to switch, we would earn similar money but he's closed off to the idea. How do I navigate this? If you've got a question you'd like us to unpack, send it over to our DMs Join the Facebook group! Follow our Instagram and our Tiktok!

Ask Uncut - Chadfishing, parental affairs and a bridesmaid's threesomes
Welcome to therapy. We're here to unpack your deep, dark and burning questions. First up today, Mitch Churi and Britt didn't get married on the weekend. They've been working on a project together! We unpack a horrible new dating term/trend called chadfishing. Have you ever been chadfished before? We want to know! Today the questions we are diving into are: My best friend is about to have her first child. I am very much childfree by choice. I think she's naive in thinking that nothing will change when the baby comes. When we organise to hang out, how can I ask her not to bring the kid? I've just found out that my mum cheated on my dad years ago while they were still married. They divorced a while ago and my dad now has a new partner. I am closer with my dad than my mum. Should I tell him about my mum's affair even though it was a long time ago and they're already divorced? I was a bridesmaid at a wedding over the weekend and got pretty drunk. At the afterparty I fell into a threesome with the MC (who is the groom's brother) and his girlfriend. Somehow everyone knows. Do I need to apologise to the bride and groom? I don't regret the threesome but I do regret it happening after their wedding Can you ghost your hairdresser? I have changed hair salons but I follow my old one on instagram and she follows me. I want to post from my new salon because it's really nice and I love my new hair so I want to share it, but I'm worried I will hurt my old hair dresser's feelings.

A Terminal Diagnosis at Twenty Five - Uncut with Kellie Finlayson
Hey Lifers, Today we kick off the episode by celebrating Laura's 37th birthday! She's got some feelings about turning 37 and they're not the feelings that you might expect. We talk about judging parents of young children for allowing them screen time and have a bit of a silly discussion about why we view women's sex toys as 'empowering' but men's sex toys as gross and creepy! Then we are joined by the wonderful Kellie Finlayson. Kellie Finlayson was 25 and had a beautiful 3 month old daughter with her partner Jeremy, when their world turned upside down. Kellie was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer.After spending a large part of her daughter's life in hospital and a horrific experience with chemo, Kellie beat her cancer. But then months later Kellie found out that her cancer had spread to her lungs. Kellie is now on a mission to spread awareness of bowel cancer, especially in young people.

Ask uncut - Put a Single Ring On It
Welcome to Ask Uncut, where we answer all of your deep, dark and dirty questions. First up today, we'd love to know, if you are single or if you were single, would you be open to wearing a particular ring to indicate that you were single and open to being approached IRL?We've got mixed feelings and wonder whether it may become as mainstream as online dating. Question 1: When I was on a night out with a friend, I met a guy. His friend invited my friend and I back to his apartment. Our physical intimacy progressed throughout the night and we got very close, only I didn’t sleep with him because of a weird gut feeling that something was off. I gave him my number and we said we couldn’t wait to go on a date to spend some time together. The next day, I found his Instagram. His tagged posts have a wedding video of him and his beautiful wife. I clicked on her profile and it shows they’re still married. I feel disgusted with him and myself. My question is, do you think the wife has a right to know and should I be the one to tell her? Question 2: I'm 26 and have been with my boyfriend for 2 years. I've decided I want to move to Australia for 1 year. He has said that he would be keen to come with me. He's great, kind etc, but I'm not sure he is the one! Should I allow him to move to the other side of the world with me if I'm not 100% sure about him or should I break it off for a fresh start even though I'm not sure if I want to break up? Question 3: If your partner has 'made' the decision that it is time to go to sleep, e.g. lights off, phones down, do both of you have to put the devices down, turn the lights off and go to sleep? If you have a question, send it over to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joining us on the podcast today is Grace Beverley. Grace is now 25, and she's already been on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. She created a huge following on instagram by wanting to be held accountable with going to the gym. She has turned that into two incredibly successful businesses. In this chat we talk about: -Building a business from the ground up -How funding works -How much privilege comes into being a 'success' -Being taken seriously in the business world We also speak about the difference that a 2023 lens puts on the way we used to look at 'empowering' women in 2006 and how P!nk used Paris Hilton's sex tape as humiliation. You also gave us the most savage break up texts that you've ever received and your exes sound like garbage!

Ask Uncut- Banging your boss & not setting boundaries
Welcome back Lifers and Lovers, Today we start by unpacking whether it's the responsibility of the interviewee to hold up the conversation if the interviewer isn't doing a great job. Hugh Grant is being slammed for his interview with Ashley Graham, and we might be in the minority on this one. The vibes of the week are: Britt: Omnilux LED mask https://bit.ly/3YPN69k Laura: Kath Koschel's book 'Kindness' https://bit.ly/3YMsrTt Kath's episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/life-uncut/id1472126503?i=1000590088293 The questions we tackle today are: -When is it okay to be someone’s second choice? Context- I met this guy 5 years ago and we followed each other on instagram. Fast forward and we went on a nice date a few weeks ago. The following week I got a message saying that he had such a great time and really liked me, but his ex had been in contact and he felt as though things weren’t finished between them. Fast forward again, it’s been two months and he’s messaged saying that things are well and truly finished and that he’d like to go out again. Would you go? -I had a sex dream about my boss and now I can’t stop seeing him in a sexual way. He is single but there would be what I guess you’d say a power in balance between us. Should I put out some feelers and see if he maybe sees me in the same way or am I asking for trouble? I’m not sure if it’s just a bit of a hot fantasy or if maybe we actually could work in a relationship. We have a lot in common and I know that a lot of people meet their long term partners at work -How can I distance our relationship without ruining it? I have a half-sister & we did not grow up together. Initially I loved the idea of having a sister, but she wants the type of relationship where we text all day, call a few times a week, and basically give a play by play of our day and our lives. It's exhausting and not who I am.

Ask Uncut - Squirting, Solitude and Seeing your ex
Hey lifers! Welcome back to your weekly therapy.First up, f*ck the casting of SAS Australia. We're so completely over these really problematic people being given the chance at 'the redemption arc.Throw it in the bin! Today the questions we are unpacking are: -My ex and I have mutual friends that are coming down to visit for a weekend coming up, so it is likely that we will all hang out at some stage and I will have to see my ex. I haven’t seen/spoken to him in months and things didn’t end on very good terms as he cheated on me. I don’t want to miss out on hanging out with my friends and feel like I can’t expect him to either. It would probably be in a group of about 5-7 people. Should I still hang out with my friends when I know my ex will be there? -How do you overcome loneliness? My entire friendship group has a partner/is in a relationship. I am so happy for them that they have all found their penguins, however I am the only single person in my core friendship group and in my life. None of my friends want to go out for drinks or to party because they would rather be at home with their partner, which I totally get. I am an introvert and find it very hard to make new friends. I also find it difficult to do things on my own to ‘fill my own cup’. I love being single but when I look at my friends and see how happy they are in their relationships it makes me feel so lonely as I have not found my penguin yet. I tried online dating and absolutely hated it as all the people I matched with gave me the biggest ick. How do I overcome this feeling of loneliness, and how do I keep the belief that I will find my penguin one day? -How do you know if you've squirted? Is it a different sensation? What's the volume like? I'm not sure if I have or not, or if maybe I'm just wet. If you have an ask uncut question, send it in to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

The Lady Vanishes - Where is My Mum Marion? Uncut with Sally Leydon
Today we've got a lot to unpack. First up is how we feel that international women's day doesn't stand for what it used to and how now the day can be tokenistic. We’ve got a huge problem with the sex shaming that a nursing advisory board has put on NSW nurses and their OnlyFans profiles and we share the weirdest ways you found out your partner was cheating on you. Where on this planet do you find these people? But today's deep dive is a little different for us. You might remember a few weeks ago, Britt recommended a podcast called 'The Lady Vanishes.' It is a podcast investigating the disappearance of Marion Barter 26 years ago. On today's episode we are joined by Marion's daughter Sally Leydon. We talk about where they are at with finding out what happened to Marion, how she is being helped by a group of internet sleuths and what they have collectively uncovered.

Ask Uncut - The Great Drink Bottle Deception Debate
Welcome to therapy where we answer your questions, completely unqualified but enthusiastically! First up, Lola is being a sleep terror and it's got Laura praying to the sleep gods. We've also found a 'new' way to see if your partner is cheating on you, and Lady Gaga is getting sued for the most ludicrous reason. Today the questions we are jumping into are: -I slept with my coworker about 4 years ago. He has a new girlfriend now who I have become friends with. We really click! Should I tell her that we slept together years ago or should I pretend like it never happened? She has started asking questions about his past. -My ex and I had a list of baby names with one that he really liked. My new partner and I are now talking about baby names and he likes the exact same name. Can I name my child the same name that my ex picked? -I accidentally saw that my partner had ordered my engagement ring. He left it open by accident on his safari when I went to search for something.

"I threw my leg at him and it hit him like a shish kebab" - Uncut with Ellie Cole
Happy Mardi Gras lifers! We spent the last 4 days attached at the hip on a trip to the Northern Territory together! Are we sick of each other? Absolutely not. Do we have a lot to unpack about our new found closeness, yes. Yes we do. On today's episode we unpack just how good of a dad Matty J is, according to the media and why are the standards so different for mothers and fathers?! Then we are joined by the wonderful Ellie Cole! Ellie is Australia's most decorated female paralympian. She's also a laugh and a half. Ellie had her leg amputated when she was 3 after battling a rare form of cancer. With just one leg she has (literally) been making waves and has played a huge part in shifting the public’s awareness of what living with a disability is like. In this chat we talk about our expectations of success and whether it brings true happiness, the toll her cancer and then living with a disability took on her family and Ellie not wanting to have to define her sexuality.You can find Ellie here: https://www.instagram.com/elliecoleswim/?hl=en Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ask Uncut - Can I character check your ex?
Hey Lifers! Today we are kicking things off with a question of our own. What's the etiquette when a friend or acquaintance asks you for a reference check on one of your exes? Do you completely divulge what you truly think of them, or would you be doing that out of spite? Then we jump into your questions! One of my close friends voted 'no' during the gay marriage plebiscite. My wedding is coming up and I'm in a same sex relationship. Should I invite my friend to our wedding given that she made her opinions of our union known at the time? My boyfriend of 4 years says he wants to wait another 6-8 years before getting married. I want to be married in the next 3 years. How do we 'meet in the middle' when we have different timelines? Can you wear open toed shoes in a workplace? My colleague has gross feet and I hate looking at them If you have a question you'd like answered on Ask Uncut, send it over to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

When to walk away, talking divorce with Olivia Rogers
Hey Lifers, Today we jump in by discussing whether it's justified to be annoyed when people post about their wealth. Is it super cringey or should we check our hesitation towards it? Laura also got her wedding video back from the editors and it had a beautiful song all about falling in love...It just so happened to have lyrics about falling in love with a woman by the name of Matt's ex! Then we are joined by the wonderful Olivia Rogers!Olivia got married. Olivia decided that she wanted to separate from her husband after 8 months of marriage and the Australian media coined the term 'the micro marriage' in response. Here, Olivia talks about her shift in identity of being a wife to being single and how she faced the horrible backlash.She shares how she wished for the problems in their relationship to dissolve once they had made the commitment to be married. She also addresses her deep desire for wanting a baby and how in hindsight it had more to do with filling a void.Olivia was so vulnerable and honest in this chat.You can find her on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/oliviamollyrogers/?hl=en Subscribe/follow the pod incase Laura accidentally publishes the episodes early again!

ASK UNCUT - Can we stop with speaking your truth
Hey Lifers, Welcome to your weekly unpacking of dilemmas. Today we kick things off by unpacking whether the whole 'speaking your truth' and being brutally honest can actually be cruel. "No offence but" doesn't always translate. Vibe or unsubscribe this week: Laura - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery on Netflix Britt - Hands free dog leash https://notyourregularpet.com/collections/handsfree Then we jump into your questions! I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and I am trying to decide on baby names. There is one name that I have loved for years (literally), I had it written down in my notes from 2017 - because I mean, who doesn’t have a list of baby names they love? My best friend’s sister had a baby 18 months ago and named the baby the name I have loved since 2017. I see my best friend’s sister and her baby often… is it bad if I still go ahead and use this name even though I’ll see her and her baby often? … the spelling would be different but it would be the same name. Should I ask her if she’s okay with it? I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and my husband and I have not had sex in weeks. Prior to this we had a very healthy sex life. I’ve brought it up multiple times with him and he’s said that’s it’s difficult to have sex with me when I have such a big tummy. He tries to reassure me by saying I’m beautiful but it’s hard to be sexually attracted to me. I’ve suggested we try other positions where my belly isn’t visible to him which he says “yeah we can try” but still nothing. I also know he often masturbates. It’s already hard to see my body going through all these changes but to also feel undesired by my husband hits even harder. Is it normal for your partner to not want to be intimate with you at this stage in pregnancy? I worry that if we don’t have sex until after the 6 weeks baby is born that there’s going to be an immense pressure on it. I don’t know what else I can do to encourage him - it also is a massive hit to my confidence every time I get shut down for sex. As businesswomen who work incredibly hard, how do you deal with the haters trying to bring you down? I have a business that is pretty successful. I work hard 7 days a week and put my heart and soul into it. Yet one negative review, or people trying to slander our name, and I can’t get it out of my head. How do you cope? If you have a question that you'd like us to unpack, send it in to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love!!

Ask Uncut - expiration dating, gamers and the worst sex you've ever had
Welcome to your therapy Thursday where we unpack your questions and concerns, but first we need to get to the important stuff. We asked for you to describe the worst sex you've had in 6 words.A galvanising experience! We've all had one bad one but these take the cake. What the girls are vibing or unsubscribing from this week: Britt: Vibe = new season of Bump Unsubscribing = people not letting you use their bins Laura: Vibe = Big Miracles on channel 9 Today we're unpacking these questions: -I have been seeing someone that I really, really like. Problem is, he's moving back home in a few months and I have no desire at all to move overseas. My question is, should I keep spending my time with him even though I know it's not going to go anywhere? -My fiance and I want to book our wedding date (in 16 months time) on the date that his friend's fiance wants to have her bridal shower... They are planning on getting married 2 weeks after. She is telling me that I am being selfish by trying to book that day when she 'already has plans for that day,' but I think she is being unreasonable so who is in the wrong? -My husband is obsessed with gaming and I feel like it’s becoming an addiction. We’ve discussed it, but he just laughs it off or denies that it’s an issue. He will get home from work and be on his games till well after I’m asleep. I feel like it’s really starting to irritate me and he’s not listening to any of my concerns. What should I do? How can I get through to him to spend less hours playing video games?

Surviving an eruption with Kelsey Waghorn
Hey Lifers! It's our favourite day of the week and boy do we have a big one for you. First up today, Laura lost her shit at a family on a boat over the weekend but you might agree with her reasons. We unpack why some of y'all are dating people who look like they could be your siblings #siblingsordating and why it may not be as weird as it sounds. Then we are joined by Kelsey Waghorn. Kelsey was a tour guide on Whakaari/White Island - the volcano that erupted in 2019 and claimed the lives of 22 people. Kelsey suffered severe burns to her body, and has had to relearn to walk and become comfortable in her new skin. Kelsey speaks incredibly vulnerably about how it's not the physical recovery, despite that being incredibly challenging, but rather the mental recovery from such a traumatic event that she has found difficult. Kelsey's resilience is inspiring and we feel very fortunate to have spoken with her.

BACH UNCUT - put a fork in me I'm done
Get the kleenexes ready because it’s the finale and the very last episode of Bach Uncut for 2023! Three strapping young men who have spent the last few weeks working their way through a truckload of women (mainly Felix) are left with Lauren, Leah, Abigail, Jess, Alésia and Angela - $50 to anyone who can put a face to each of their names. We don’t want to give away the result but there’s two proposals (only one is successful) the beloved Damien decides to make a return for one last visit - we hope he’s being paid by Channel 10 for this. It’s been an absolute blast recording these eps for you. If you’ve enjoyed listening to our dribble, we’d love it if you left a review! We now return to your usual Life Uncut programming..

Not the date to celebrate - Uncut with Taylah Gray
Today's bonus episode is about Jan 26. Currently a public holiday recognised as 'Australia Day.' But Invasion Day is a day of mourning for First Nations people and many other Australians. Joining us is proud Wiradjuri woman Taylah Gray who is currently completing her PhD on native title and sovereignty. In this episode we unpack what Taylah's childhood looked like with a particular insight into her education and how she became a lawyer and started her doctorate. Taylah articulates the complexities of 'celebrating' what it is to be Australian and how the date represents a long history of genocide and disposition for First Nations people. Tay also suggests ways in which we can be true allies and show support. Something that was particularly nuanced for us was the conversation surrounding the pressure that First Nations people can feel when they're expected to be the mouthpiece for every political issue in this country; the assumption of being educated about every legal issue affecting Black people. To show our gratitude for Taylah's knowledge and time, Life Uncut has donated $1000 to the Aboriginal Legal Service. You can check them out here: https://www.alsnswact.org.au/ If you'd like to follow Taylah on instagram you can find her here: https://www.instagram.com/taylah_gray_/?hl=en Always was, always will be Aboriginal land See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bach Uncut - This is play time
Hey Lifers, We've all got a bit of bach whiplash at the moment because they sprung 4 episodes on us this week and look, we were meant to be enjoying a holiday! So it might be a day late, but alas, your recap of episode 7 is here! This episode kicks off with Matt's latest hobby... and yes questions over whether mid-thirties dads need hobbies have been raised. We digress. This episode has a lot of steamy, horny 'playtime' (Felix's words, not ours). There's a lot of jealousy. There are a lot of snogs. There's possibly TOO much honesty from one of the bachelors.

BACH UNCUT - Three's a crowd
Holy hell we’re BACKKKKK.. Can you bloody believe it? Well, we can’t either. Lot’s has changed with the Bachelor - there’s three men looking for love. Please meet **drum roll please** Felix, Jed and Thomas! Also, at the end of last season Osher sold all the old decorations on Facebook Marketplace and moved to the Goldy. This means Bach is in a new city, there’s no red carpet or fairy lights and new roses. Oh, and the guys have to propose at the finale (we think, we’re still working it all out). The show kicks off with Bachies selecting women (via rose offerings) on speed dates all around the country. Some tell the pipsqueaks to beat it (sorry Jed), some play tonsil hockey (hello Felix) and some cry (bless you Thomas). The rose holders all pack up their bags and travel to the Gold Coast to move in with Osher. Then it’s time for the first cocktail party (ep 2) which is just Felix eating Tilly’s face. We then have a group date/pool party, which is just Felix eating Naomi’s face. You may have noticed there’s a recurring theme here. Then we say goodbye to three randoms at a rose ceremony! If you’re still reading this, 10 points to you. We’re up to ep 3 and Tash drops the news that Jess (dating Felix) is polyamorous and has a boyf on the outside. Felix flips out and decides to head home and sulk as Jed takes Tash on a date as Thomas heads off with Leah. Then there’s a group date at Dreamworld (nothing happens). However at the rose ceremony, the woman have a wild brawl because of how Tash behaved. It all kicks off and I think it’s official, Tash is the villain of the season. Thoughts and prayers with the woman who left at the rose ceremony - Abby, Emma and Palen or Kalen or Falen..

Ask Uncut- The Mindful Orgasm
Hey Lifers, First up today, Laura wants to know how she can get even more lazy when it comes to getting to O town. Apparently you can have orgasms by using just your mind. We investigate. Then we jump into your deep, dark and dirty questions: -I met this guy out at a bar a few weeks ago and we went home together later that night. After stalking him on socials I figured out he has a fiancé and a baby. I confronted him about it and he said they were engaged but decided to call it off and just be friends just before the baby was born. However, they haven’t told anyone this as her family are religious and they are trying to navigate the situation, they still live together. I told him I can’t continue to see him unless either he can prove to me, he isn’t in a relationship or unless he tells her about me. He said he doesn’t know how to prove it and isn’t ready to tell her unless he knows if we are ‘going somewhere.' I really like this guy; sex was amazing and there is definitely something there but my gut tells me he is lying. Should I cut it off with him now before I get any more invested? -I have 2 guys on my radar, one I met online a while ago, we clicked, crazy chemistry, then he went travelling for a few months but we kept in contact regularly calling etc. I was looking forward to when he comes back (in 2 weeks) and was intending on giving it a shot with him. I’m the meantime my long-time friend from high school who we’ve been back and forth liking each other, expressed he has very strong feelings for me, initially I was thinking no but now I have strong feelings for him and the other guy, I’ve been indecisive for a ages and have no idea how to decide what the right thing to do is, do I not date anybody cause I can’t give them my full attention or do I just flip a coin? -I’m getting married next year and I don’t know if I want my dad to walk me down the aisle. One - I don’t feel totally comfortable with the concept of the father giving the bride away. I feel it’s a bit outdated and low key gives me the ick. Two- my dad & I have a good relationship but we aren’t super close. What are your thoughts on the bride walking down the aisle solo and how I should approach the conversation with my dad? -I am getting married next year in Fiji. My nearest and dearest are invited. One of my invited guests has had someone who I don’t really know nor particularly like invite herself on the holiday… I know it’s a public place but it just makes me uncomfortable as I am in Fiji to celebrate my wedding. Am I in my right to politely ask that she not come or is she entitled to come if she pleases? If you have an update on what happened after we answered one of your questions, please send it in to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

Rebounds - Getting over it, by getting under it
Hey lifers Statistically (and you know we love a study), this time of year is the most common time to break up and kick start a rebound relationship so today we are unpacking the good, the bad and the ugly of rebound relationships. It's a bit of a nostalgic one because it's just the two of us taking a big deep dive on when we were rebounded with and when we've done it to others. We talk: -What rebounds look like if you're the rebounder or the reboundee -How long it takes to get over an ex -How rebounds can be really great -How they can transition from a rebound into an actual relationship But firstly, have you heard of milestoning? If you're single, there's a good chance you're doing it right now. We get into some new dating terms and trends and frankly, Britt needs to take a bit of a look at herself because she's doing pretty much all of them! If you've listened all year and you haven't done so yet, we'd really love it if you took 30 seconds to leave us a review on apple podcasts or a star rating on spotify!

I'm up for a promotion at work that I think I deserve and will get, but it's for a 2 year contract. Should I tell my employer that I am in the early stages of pregnancy given that if I get the job, I won't be able to work the whole contract out -I met someone very special this year, however it has been a rollercoaster since we met (my dad died, I had an abortion, I moved overseas). He is also overseas now too but he has recently gone off to do his own thing. He said he loves me very much and wants me in his life but he doesn’t know to what extent right now. I love him so much and I keep coming back to this thought that he is “the one”. Is this naive? How do you know if someone is the one? I know I can be okay on my own but I want him in my life. -Is it normal to not be able to get over your ex's dick? I was in a relationship for 2 years and he had the greatest penis. Now whenever I sleep with someone I can't seem to be disappointed by theirs and I keep comparing it to my ex's. Is this normal? Can I get over this?

I don't want kids - stop telling me I'll change my mind
Hey Lifers! It's our big meaty Tuesday episode served up with a side of bants. Today we are revisiting a topic we spoke about several months ago and that is - being childless by choice. The reason why we have decided to revisit this is because we listened to your feedback and so many of you wanted us to go deeper on this topic and take into account more stories and perspectives. Which is exactly what we have done! But before we get into that we ask the big question… Have you ever masturbated at work - you horny little minx. Childless by choice The default when we are growing up is that we seem to think that success will be getting a good job, getting married, buying a house and having babies; but our generation seem to be questioning the 'status quo.' What about if you don't want to have kids? On today's episode we are joined by 3 women who have made the decision to remain childfree. We unpack: -When they realised kids may not have been for them -Their reasons for being child free -How to navigate conversations with friends that are struggling with fertility -How to navigate those conversations in a marriage/dating scenario We also address these statements: "But what about when you get old and there will be no one to look after you?" "You just haven't met the right partner yet" "You'll change your mind" You can find these women on instagram. Danni Duncan - @danni___duncan Karina Irby - @karinairby Jana Hocking - @jana_hocking If you enjoyed the episode and think someone in your life might be interested in the conversation, share it with them!

Ask Uncut - What ended up on the cutting room floor of The Challenge?
Hey lifers, In today's episode, Britt shares what caused her to kick off on The Challenge this week and why so much of the dialogue had to be left on the cutting room floor. Then we jump into your deep, dark and burning questions and today they're a bit deeper and harder to answer than others. My partner and I have been together for 3 years. We have a 5-month-old baby. My best friend lives with us and has done for the past 2 years. She recently went MIA and finally told me why. When I was out with the baby my partner approached her, exposed himself and asked her to give him a blowjob. As this was unfolding, I arrived home and he left the room asking her not to tell me. When approached he denied it at first before admitting what he had done. My question is do I stay and try to work it out for our baby so we can try to be a family? Or do I leave? The friendship has been ruined as I can’t look at her without the reminder of what my partner did to her. I know she did the right thing but it’s still affected the friendship as I feel my partner would prefer her over me and it is embarrassing that my partner did this. I spend quite a lot of my money of beautiful clothes which I’ll hire out to people online for some extra cash. I love fashion and I see value in doing that for me. I have a friend who constantly borrows outfits whether that’s something more casual up to expensive formal dresses. It started out as a once off and I didn’t charge but now she constantly hits me up. She recently borrowed an expensive set of mines and hasn’t washed or dry cleaned it. I now have to do this. Is this situation my fault for not charging in the first place or am I getting taken advantage of? What’s reasonable? My boyfriend of 10 months took a video of us having sex and didn’t ask me. In the past when we’ve had sex, we have both agreed to film part of it. However, this time, in doggy, I turned around and he had his phone out. I asked what he was going he told me he was filming. In the moment I said, “ask me next time”. But now I don’t know whether I should have a bigger conversation with him or whether I’m overreacting to this whole situation. If you have a question you'd like to ask, you can send it in to us at lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

F-Boys and how to spot em - Uncut with Logan Ury
Hey lifers! Today we take a deep dive into the controversy surrounding the latest campaign from Balenciaga. When a brand so consistently flirts with provocative content, are we surprised that they cross the line into child exploitation? When towing the line where fashion meets political/social issues and pushes the boundaries of what is and isn't acceptable, when does a brand go too so far that they risk being entirely 'cancelled?' We unpack whether it's plausible for a brand as big as Balenciaga to have not been across these campaign decisions and how they've benefited so much from similar decisions in the past. Then we are joined by the wonderful Logan Ury! Logan is an author and the behavioural scientist at hinge! She joins Britt and producer Keeshia today to talk all things f*ckboys/f*ckgirls and explain how the concept of the sunk cost fallacy can be applied to relationships.

Ask Uncut - Got milk? Or got the ick?
Hey Lifers! Welcome to your weekly fake therapy session where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions. First up, we want your thoughts on whether it's 'ick' worthy for your date to order a plain glass of milk on a date? We share some of the weirdest things you guys have had people order on dates and *once again* whhhhhere do you guys find these people?? Today we are jumping into these questions: -I was married previously for 12 months when I found out that my husband had been cheating on me. I've moved on and have found my penguin, and he keeps on saying things like "this would make a good wedding song" and "that would be a good spot to propose." The problem is I want to spend my life with him but I don't know if I want to get married again. -I tend to get the 'ick' on about 50% of first dates. I message them saying "thank you but I don't see it going anywhere." My friends believe in the 2 date rule and think I should always give it a second chance. Do you believe in the second date rule? -I'm in a long term, committed relationship and I found out that my partner has a saved message on snapchat with a girl that read "I wish I didn't have a girlfriend so that I could see your onlyfans. I don't have a problem with him wanting to see that, but when I brought it up with him he completely denied it and said it didn't exist and he didn't send the message. Except I know that he did. It was at 5:30pm on a Monday. What should I do? We'd really love to do a wrap up of the year with an ask uncut aftermath so if we've ever answered one of your questions, we'd LOVE to know what happened next.

Ask Uncut - Should I tell my cousin he's actually my half brother?
Hey Lifers! Welcome to your therapy Thursday - today we've got some questions that not only do we disagree on, but they're also beyond the norm! Producer Keeshia is filling in as Laura enjoys her week in newlywed bliss. Your questions that we are jumping into today are: -I was made redundant from my dream job, my partner left me and I'm living back at my parent's house. How do I pull myself together when I feel like I'm at rock bottom and have no motivation to do anything? -Should I tell my cousin that he is actually my half brother? My mum donated her eggs but the family drifted apart and they never told him. I've recently learned that we are genetically siblings and I don't know whether to keep the secret or to tell him. -My love language is physical touch & my boyfriend is religious and does not want to have sex before marriage, which I respect. But I feel rejected and question whether he's attracted to me. He feels guilty touching me and doesn't sleep well next to me. What can I do? If you are one of the little scallywags that love listening to the pod and haven't left us a review yet, you can leave us a review on apple or a star rating on spotify!

Ask Uncut – Our bodies are not trends
Hey Lifers, Producer Keeshia is filling in today because Laura is a bit busy doing something kind of important… just getting married!! Britt might be hesitant about sharing a bed with Keeshia after the last encounter at Laura’s hens. Today we jump in by unpacking the return of the ‘heroin chic’ trend. We talk about how society’s ideals of what constitutes the ‘perfect’ figure have shifted so much over the course of time and how it’s been left undissected and not called out until now. It’s really only now that more nuanced conversation is happening about our body shapes and how we need to unsubscribe from this deeply problematic narrative. Then we jump into your questions! 1. Can you date your ex’s acquaintance? 2. I constantly check up on my partner’s ex on social media. I feel like a loser but I can’t seem to stop looking at her and comparing myself 3. Can I ask everyone to chip in $40 to come to my 30th birthday? There will be some food and a bar tab If you’d like to vote for us at the Australian podcast awards, we’d love you forever!!

ASK UNCUT - Massive c*cks and we're not talking bout chickens
Welcome to therapy Thursday team. First up we are talking about something deeply important and crucial, the my massive cock documentary. Britt has really done her research for this one and wants to unpack the packages and the hardships that the people shown on the documentary go through. Today we are jumping into these deep and dark questions: One of my husbands female friends has come to him to ask if he would be the business manager for her only fans, she has wanted to do only fans for ages but is terrible with anything business related. He obviously mentioned this to me and we had a chat about it, how it would work etc? He has left the final decision up to me as he doesn’t want to do anything I’m uncomfortable with. My initial reaction was no so maybe I should just go with my gut? My partner has given me the ick. In his workplace, the workers beneath him seem to be leaving within months. He speaks to them horribly and I think he over reacts to situations. I find him overtly rude to others. Is this an orange or red flag? My partner idolises his father, but I see a different side. He has split from his wife and has become a sleaze bag and bitter towards women. He's even tried to hit on me when he's drunk (which is a lot). Am I wrong to second guess my relationship with my partner purely based on my father in law.

ASK UNCUT- Sh*t tats, hung up and 'platonic' friends
Welcome back to to therapy Thursday! Today we're kicking it off with some wedding chat about Britt's sister's wedding(s) and ho breaking the fourth wall is becoming the best type of reality TV we can consume! Then we're jumping into these questions: I’ve been with my partner for 9 years and have 2yr old twin boys.10 years ago I had a one night stand with the local fuck boy and my partner has recently found out about it (I didn't cheat. It was before we were together). Now he doesn't seem to be able to get over it. I’ve told him I just want to move on from it, and that while I do care, I’m not responsible for his emotions about this. Am I being selfish to want to put that in the past and forget about it? Or do I need to be more sensitive to his feelings? I've been with my boyfriend for almost four years now. I love him very much. I have always struggled to make friends as I'm pretty introverted and have always seemed to gravitate toward male friends. Since moving back to my home town I've made a really nice guy friend at my gym. It's purely platonic but he is single and keen to hang out outside of the gym. We get along super well and he knows that I have a partner. I would love to hang out with him more but Im super worried my partner will get jealous. Is it weird to have male friends when you are in a serious relationship? If not how do I approach this with my partner To what extent do you have a say about your partner getting a tattoo you don’t like?

It's time to rethink our relationship with the drink! - Uncut with Helena Sauzier and Danni Carr
Hey Lifers! Today we are having a big chat about our relationship with alcohol, and we might have a problem with alcohol despite not being an alcoholic! Firstly, Laura and Producer Keeshia unpack a bit to do with hens & bucks parties and whether there are different rules for your relationship on the 'last night of freedom.' Then we unpack what the optimum time for foreplay is! Start your timers Lifers! We need some stats. Then we are jumping into a big chat on alcohol! Helena Sauzier, who you might know from Bach joins us to talk about why she went sober. Helena wasn't an 'alcoholic.' She wasn't a 'problem drinker' but she had a problem with herself when she drank. Next up we are joined by Danni Carr. Danni is a musician and her life was pretty engulfed by drinking culture. 4 years ago, she decided to go sober. She realised that she had been using alcohol to feel more confident in social situations when it actually led to her being embarrassed and mortified about her own behaviour. We talk about: -Why do we have a problem with it when our friends say they're not drinking? Why do we call them boring? -How drinking can affect our relationships in such a negative way -How our lives can improve by moderating or eliminating alcohol from our social interactions -'Mummy wine culture' -How you don't have to be an alcoholic for alcohol to be a problem in your life Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friends and share the love because we love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ask Uncut - Talk dirty to me
Hey Lifers! Ever heard of praise kink? We hadn't but we think we might have it! We kick today's episode with what y'all like dirty talk about! Producer Keeshia is stepping in today for Britt as she's celebrating her sister Sheri's wedding! Then it's time for some round table talk. We're jumping into these questions: -I caught some porn on my partner's phone. I'm very mad about it. Back story, I've caught him wanking before to porn and it doesn't sit well withme. He has disrespected my wishes and feelings as he's done it again. He thinks I'm being over the top and apologised but how do I know he won't do it again? -I have been diagnosed with breast cancer at 32. My question is online dating. It’s tough already but being bald makes it a whole new ball game! I was wondering if I need to tell matches that I’m bald and going through chemo? I don’t know if I should warn them before meeting? Am I false advertising? -So my husband asks for BJs WAAAYYY too much. I mean daily. I’m all for giving bjs…. I quite like doing it to be honest. But I like doing it when I want to. The man will bargain for them. I have told him before to stop doing it because it makes it seem like a chore. I love the man. He’s a VERY good husband but he’s also very sensitive and his love language is sex. HELP! How do I draw the line gently without causing the sensitive sexual beast to feel unloved). If you haven't left us a review, frankly, our praise kink desires would really appreciate it! You know what to do!

ASK UNCUT - How could you leave your baby?!
Hey Lifers, It's time for therapy Thursday! First up we're unpacking a mother that's been slammed in the news for going away on a girl's weekend and leaving her 3 month old baby with the father of the child. The bar is low... Then we're jumping into your deep dark and burning questions: 1. How do I get over the guilt of breaking up with someone and breaking their heart? 2. My housemate's new boyfriend has started staying at our house up to 6 nights per week. They've been together for just 3 months now. I get along with him and it's nothing against him. I'm starting to feel as though I'm cleaning up after them at all times. I need some advice on how to approach the situation 3. Should I tell my friend that I'm trying for a baby as I'm a bridesmaid in her wedding? 4. Short and sharp one- in hetero dating, do you peg your partner? If you're one of our sneaky little lifers who loves an ep but hasn't left a review wherever you're listening, we'd love for you to take the spare min to do so! Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Laura's hens, the rise of the micro marriage and Uncut with Rob Mills
Hey Lifers! First up, we had Laura's hens party on the weekend and today's episode kicks off with life drawings, pole dancing, and whether or not you know if your partner is circumcised... Then we unpack 'the rise of the celebrity micro marriage;' a new term that we think has problematic undertones and nasty vibes. Today's big, meaty part is with the phenomenal Rob Mills! You might have gotten to know Rob back in 2003 when he was on Australia Idol. Today he joins us to chat about his new book as well as: Whether we can expect someone to tick every box How men struggle to walk the line between being vulnerable and still being 'masculine' The shift of going from a normal person, to having the spotlight on him at just 21 years old Labels and love Why Millsy is sick of being asked about Paris Hilton You can check out Millsy's instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/robmillsymills/?hl=en And his brand new book is here: https://www.booktopia.com.au/putting-on-a-show-rob-mills/book/9781922806420.html Tomorrow is our very first live show (quietly shitting ourselves but oh so fucking excited!) and there might be like 5 tickets left so if you'd like to snag yourself one you can grab it here: You know the drill, tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love!!

ASK UNCUT - Has true crime gone too far?
Hey lifers! Today's episode kicks off with a bit of a more thought provoking question, and we're interested in where you sit on the scale: Are you okay with true crime being made into entertainment? We discuss how our hunger for more and more voyeuristic expressions of true crime stories is evolving and whether the new style of hollywood-ified crime stories are a bit gross. Then it's time for therapy Thursday where we jump into your questions: 1. Is it selfish to keep this pregnancy when only 7 months ago, I had a termination? 2. My mother in law wears a perfume that I can't stand and it stinks out our entire house, as well as my son's sheets etc any time after she comes over. How do I tell her that I hate her perfume & that she should stop wearing it? 3. When is the right time to provide feedback on what I need to 'get off?' Like many women, I can't finish from penetrative sex and need other things to get me going If you have a question you'd like us to answer, send it to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

WE LOVE LOVE
Hey Lifers! Today's episode is one big warm hug. You've heard so many of our stories over the past 3 years, but believe it or not - there is more. We're taking a deep dive on our brand new book called "WE LOVE LOVE" that is available tomorrow from all good (and bad) book stores. Over the last 3 years, we've covered a lot of very personal stuff on the podcast but for a variety of reasons, there were some conversations that we've been holding on to that we haven't shared before...well, until now. Some of those conversations include: Laura's childhood and some of the darker sides of familial relationships that led to her attachment style as an adult Decisions around the timeline of when it's the right time to have a baby and her choice to end a pregnancy Britt's process of writing the book being in and out of love, and how that has affected her fertility decisions Britt's idea of her value and worthiness in relationships and how her future may not look like what she had expected it to. If you would like to get yourself a copy of WE LOVE LOVE you can get your hands on one here https://www.lifeuncutpodcast.com.au/ Thank you so very much to each of you lifers that have come along on this wildly unexpected path of the podcast that has led to us being able to pen an entire book!

ASK UNCUT - You can't resuscitate a dead starfish
Hello Lifer, it's therapy Thursday where we answer all your deep dark and burning questions. BUT FIRST! Is the Bachelor doneski for good? It has been announced that the recent series that was shot with three Bachelors is being rested until next year, and well.... we have some feelings. Then we get into your questions and this week we have some goodies! I've just gotten back into the dating game, went on a date and he was truly great! When we got back to my house, the sex was super disappointing. We did it again in the morning (sober) and it was just as bad... My question is can you teach someone to be good at sex and is the effort worth it? Last night while having sex, the guy I've been dating whispered in my ear "my chubby, little whore." I'm not kink shaming him, but I was offended by what he said and I don't know how to talk about it with him I caught a glimpse of a snapchat conversation that my brother in law of 20 years was having with someone that is not my sister. I THINK I saw it come through from the other person and it said "I love you." I'm not sure what to do, as I'm not entirely sure what I saw... If you're a cheeky peach and want to get yourself a copy of our book WE LOVE LOVE - Jump on our website here www.lifeuncutpodcast.com.au it is hitting the shelves on Wednesday 5th and we don't want you to miss it!

Boss better have my money! Pay rise and pay gaps with Meggie Palmer
Hey Lifers! We kick off today's ep by telling you about all of the penis straw profanities of Britt's sister's hens party! The girls well and truly let their hair down. We then (somehow) chat about who is and isn't good in a break in an emergency, and spoiler but it's not Laura! Next up we take a bit of a deep dive on how we view cheating and do a bit of a litmus test of where our internal bias is. Do we think cheating while the woman is pregnant is more deplorable than when they're not pregnant? Then we jump into the wonderful Meggie Palmer to chat about all things gender pay gap and how to get a raise. We talk about: -what the pay gap is -why there is a pay gap between men and women in Aus -pay secrecy clauses and whether you can discuss salaries with colleagues -how to actually get a raise at work You can check out the challenge that Peptalkher has here: PepTalkHer.com/challenge And download the app whereever you usually get your apps from!

Hey lifers & lovers! Time for therapy Thursday where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions. Today we kick it off with reading out some of the worst things you've had said to you straight after sex and once again WHERE DO YOU FIND THESE PEOPLE?!? These had us in stitches. Then we jump into: Would you be okay with your partner going to a bucks party where they had to sign a confidentiality agreement? My partner just got a bonus that is equal to what I make in a year. I'm feeling embarrassed about my pay. They haven't done or said anything to make me feel like that however we live together and we split everything 50/50. I'm starting to feel a bit resentful and jealous, and I don't know how to bring it up. Can I ask my friend's brother? f yes, how do I ask and what are the terms and conditions?

Lyn's Law, no body no parole
Howdy friends! Today we have biggy for you! First up, can you reprimand someone else's kids? Laura thinks it's a firm no, Then we are talking about the new sex sensation Karezza s*x, where the goal is to not have an orgasm, and what the hell is the point?! Then we are joined by Renee Simms, and for anyone who was captivated hook line and sinker by The Australian podcast The Teachers Pet spearheaded by Hedley Thomas, this is a interview you will be on the edge of your seat for. Renee Simms is Lynette Dawson's niece. Lynette had been a 'missing person' for 40 years until last month when her husband Chris Dawson was found guilty of her murder. In today's episode, we get an insight into how the family have coped over the decades, whether the family believed Chris about Lyn's disappearance, the relationship that they have with Lyn's daughters and whether this verdict has brought them justice. Lyn's family are petitioning for no body = no parole laws to come into place in NSW.

ASK UNCUT - Prudes, fertility and no you can't have a plus one
Hey lifers, Welcome to your therapy Thursday where you hear about everyone else's dilemmas that will surely make you feel as though your own life isn't as much of a shit show. The questions that we're diving into today are: I've just gotten back into the dating game and have been on a few first dates. I'm having a lot of fun. However, I'm starting to feel a bit stressed about seeing multiple people at the same time and being judged by people around me. Is there such a thing as dating too many people at the same time? My new girlfriend has conservative, 'no sex before marriage' parents, but she herself doesn't have the same beliefs. We are going on a trip in a few weeks and her parents want us to stay in different rooms while we are there. I haven't met her parents yet but my girlfriend wants me to lie to her parents when I meet them and say that we always sleep separately. To what degree should I uphold her lie? At what point should she have a conversation about differing values with her parents? I have just found out that I have fertility issues. I have endo and tried to freeze my eggs but it didn't work. I'm single and I'm wondering when to tell guys that I date? I don't want to freak them out but also don't want to leave it too long. It's been really hard for me to think about so I just haven't been dating at all. My step sister has been given a plus 1 to our wedding as she's dating someone that we've both met. My parent's now want my step brother to have a plus 1 even though he's not seeing anyone. We are having a very small wedding with 53 people and have already cut friends from the list that we would have liked to be there. Do you think my parents have the right to demand this? They are contributing some money to the wedding, but had them choosing the guest list been a term/condition, we wouldn't have accepted the money.

If you don't ask you don't get
Askers v Guessers, the 3 month mark debate and suction self pleasure. Hey Lifers! Today we are diving into asking whether you're an 'asker' or a 'guesser!' Or whether perhaps you exist on the scale and it changes depending on who you're interacting with! It's likely that you fit more into one category than the other, in a similar way to how you'd likely sit more in one camp of extraversion or introversion. First up though, we jump into the semi-viral question of whether or not you should fully commit to someone before the 3 month mark. Do you really know a person before this time or is it completely situational? We also have a listener update on whether or not it's okay to share sex toys with your friends!

Absolutely wild scenes. Then we have some questions for you. Number 1 is whether or not you'd use a sex toy that had been used by someone like a close friend before, but cleaned/disinfected?

Step aside Only Fans it's Matty J's Only feet
Today we've got our resident male perspective commentator and foot mould enthusiast Matty J joining the pod! We discuss how much money it would take for Matty J to send foot pics, and look, everyone's got a price that's right. We talk about the most 'no shit sherlock' study ever conducted that claims that in hetero relationships, a woman's libido is higher if her male partner shares the housework. Then we jump into your questions: 1. Is it true that some men can't finish without a condom? 2. Help! I did something I shouldn't have and went through my boyfriend's phone while he was sleeping. I didn't have any intention of finding anything, however, I found some photos in his 'recently deleted' folder of my friend's bag and her underwear from when she stayed at our house recently. There were also screenshots of his ex's instagram. How do I approach this situation because they don't necessarily imply cheating, but they are very fucking weird? 3. Do you need to resolve a fight before going to sleep with your significant other? 4. Why don't men wash their hands after going to the toilet? 5. Do you feel as though there is a real thing of 'punching above your weight' in a relationship? I feel as though the guy I'm dating is much more attractive than I am, and I also think that his friends think it too.

Am I Enough Yet? Uncut with Layne Beachley
Hello wonderful Lifers, On today's episode Britt has gone MIA but we have the wonderful Producer Keeshia out from behind the laptop and joining Laura on today's show and boy oh boy do we have some big, long, unsolicited dick pics to discuss. We cover the 'shlong' and short of it some might say and unpack Tommy Lee's dick pic that broke Instagram, and had everyone in up roar - or did it? We are then joined by the wonderful Layne Beachley! Layne is a 7 times world champion surfer, and the only surfer to have ever gained 6 titles in a row. She is tenacious, dedicated and did whatever it took to win. In this chat, we speak about seeking validation and the avenues of which we all land on the same question "am I good enough?" Layne was conceived through assault and adopted into her family and it led to her reaching for huge successes to prove that she was worthy and that she belonged. Layne has been with INXS' Kirk Pengilly for nearly 20 years and we talk about how initial chemistry and fireworks aren't absolutely necessary to form a great, passion filled relationship.

Stay up to date by following @lifeuncutpodcast or to buy a ticket to the live show click here Today we are jumping into these deep, dark and burning questions: My boyfriend has a group chat with his mates where the single guys share pictures of the girls they're talking to/going on dates with. Fine! But I recently found out that they share any spicier pics that they get sent from these ladies in the chat. I told my boyfriend it was absolutely disgusting and he told me I was overreacting. I'm not sure how to move forward on this. About 3 weeks ago I had the best sex of my life and it was a one night stand. We had a great time, but he was from out of town. When he left, we didn't exchange numbers. I've looked up his name and found his linked in...Should I use it to find his facebook/instagram and message him or leave the fantasy where it is? A couple of weeks ago, I slept with my housemate. We were out with friends and well, one thing led to another. Since then, he has pretended like it never happened. I don't want to date him or anything like that, but I find it a bit weird that he's just never mentioned it. Should I address the huge elephant in the room or just leave it? If you have a question you'd like us to tackle, or a follow up on what's happened since, send it on it @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram! Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ask Uncut - Was that an orgasm or did you spasm?
Hey lifers! Gosh it's nice to be back and answering your deep, dark and burning questions. We had some super spicy ones come through while we were on break so without further ado, today we're looking at: How do you know if you've had an orgasm? I don't like my engagement ring. The thoughtfulness behind the surprise ring is really lovely but I've upset him by saying it. Have I done the wrong thing by being honest? I was recently on holidays in Thailand with my husband and two kids. We were on a boat with some hot backpackers in little bikinis. The way I saw my husband staring at the girls has made me feel like he's a creep. Are all 'husbands' like this?

Imposter syndrome, priorities and being 'unbusy' - Uncut with Hamish Blake
WE'RE BACK BABY!!! Offft it's nice to be in and around your ears again. It would seem like we are all a bit too obsessed with each other because we decided to go to the same holiday destination and hang out with each other over there... Laura also decided to test run a 'vagina ozaniser,' which she will fill you in on. Turns out, it wasn't a steam. Then we are joined by (arguably) AUSTRALIA'S FAVOURITE HUMAN - HAMISH BLAKE. In our chat we talk about how Hamish & Andy have navigated 20 years of friendship and working together, and how they've created so much original content over the decades. Hamish gets deep and talks about buying time, saying no, priorities, his love story and why we should view love conditionally.

PART 1: Get your politics off women's bodies. The overturning of Roe vs Wade
Welcome to part 1 of our 2 parter today. Content warning: today's episode will discuss pregnancy and abortion and if that's a triggering subject for you, please move on to part 2 of today's episodes. We kick things off by having our Britt back and covid free! *Spoiler, her laugh has also returned.* Laura has taken a huge step in her wedding planning and FOUND THE DRESS!! We are then joined by Sam Koslowski, co-founder of The Daily Aus, to unpack how and why the US supreme court has ended the constitutional right for a woman in America to have an abortion. Sam explains how the legal system in the US works, which states it will be legal and illegal to have a termination of pregnancy and how this ruling will largely impact minority groups and people of lower socioeconomic status. Our hearts are breaking for the women that will be affected by this decision. It is truly baffling that this is happening in 2022. Part 2 of this episode is with Dr Hannah Korrel and we discuss navigating friendships throughout different stages of your life.

ASK UNCUT - Virginity, guilt sex and rag dolls
Welcome to therapy friends! Come on in, the coffee is brewing. On today's episode of Ask Uncut, our main man Matty J is filling in for our beloved Britt as she fights the viruses away. Today's episode kicks off with a parenting nightmare that Laura and Matt are currently experiencing; it's much less than ideal. Then we jump into your questions: I'm a virgin and I'm 25. I've been seeing someone and I am wondering whether I should tell them that I've not slept with anyone before? I feel ready to take the next step My partner and I have a great sex life. We've lived together for 2 years and we are constantly naked around each other; we sleep naked, we walk around the house naked a lot, shower together etc. I'm wondering if being naked a lot takes away a bit of the allure of our naked bodies? My partner likes highly sexualised photos on instagram. Not just influencers/models but people he knows as well. When I brought this up, he said that he didn't like that I follow and like other guy's too; but they are never sexual photos. He said that he thinks just 'liking' it is a form of flirting. He is still liking the photos that I said I had a problem with. Am I valid in my anger or is what he said valid? Should I keep using my ex's streaming service account? If you have a question you'd like answered, or an update on your situation since your question has been answered, please send it in to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

Taken in plain sight - A story of human trafficking with Dr Katariina Rosenblatt
Hey Lifers! Guess who's back? Back again! It's our resident fill in Matty J! Sadly, our girl Britt has been struck down by covid and the flu so Matt's gotten the call up to the microphone! He's hot off the plane from the Logies and ready to spill some red carpet goss! Then we are diving into a much deeper conversation. In today's episode we are talking with Dr Katariina Rosenblatt. Kat was a victim of sex trafficking from the time she was just 13 years old, until the age of 17. Kat grew up in Miami, Florida and experienced trafficking on several, separate occasions. In this episode, Kat talks us through her harrowing story that really pulls back the curtain on what child sex trafficking actually looks like in our world. It was extremely eye opening for us to learn about how different it is to what we imagined sex trafficking was. Kat speaks about what makes certain children vulnerable as 'prey.' She educates us on what the people who organise trafficking are like and how they operate. She is a very resilient and strong woman. Her story is shocking and compelling. Dr Kat is now using her trauma to educate others on the horrific issue of Child sex trafficking and is workig alongside the FBI to literally save childrens lives. This episode may be very triggering for anyone who has experienced or had a loved one experience any form of sexual assault. If this raises any issues for you, please give this episode a miss, listen to it with someone you feel safe around or leave it for another time. Help can always be found at 1800-RESPECT.

ASK UNCUT - I Had a baby and now my partner won't go down town 👅
First up lifers, if you and your friend match with the same person on a dating ap, who gets dibs? Two of the life uncut team are in this dilemma! Then we unpack possibly the worst ghosting scenario we've ever heard of! This week the questions we are unpacking are: -My partner and I broke up for a little while and we are now back together. I've now found out that he was seeing someone (not just sleeping with them) while we were broken up. Am I wrong for being weird about this? -My friend has been with their partner for 6 years and after discussing it and getting the 'okay' with their partner, they started an only fans account. 10 subscribers later, my friend's partner has now basically broken things off. My question is 'should they have to delete the account to keep the relationship or does the partner need to sort out their own feelings?' -I had a baby 6 months ago. Before this, my partner used to go down on me all the time. Since having a baby, he's only done it once. I've asked about it and he has said "I just don't feel like it" and "we will get back to it." Is this normal? If you have a question you'd like us to tackle, please send it in to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

Coming out Rebel style 🌈 and Toxic Masculinity
Hey Lifers, Firstly today we are jumping in with some passionate feelings about Rebel Wilson's relationship announcement and who has the right to a story. Spoiler alert, Noone but the person involved has that right! Regardless of celebrity status, every individual has the right to come out or talk about any new relationship in their lives when they are ready. End. Of. Story. The original article in the Sydney Morning Herald has been removed but their apology statement can be read here: https://www.smh.com.au/culture/celebrity/rebel-starts-spreading-the-news-of-relationship-20220610-p5aswa.html Next up, we're taking a deep dive on toxic masculinity with radio host Will McMahon. You might know Will from Will and Woody or even celebrity apprentice, where he has spoken openly about his experiences with depression and how it has been impacted by toxic masculinity. We touch on how toxic masculinity isn't specific to men, and actually affects every one of us, where it stems from, what it looks like in the real world and what we can do about it to change it on an individual and a societal level. There's some big stuff in today's episode and if you liked it, we'd love a sneaky little review on apple podcasts and spotify.

ASK UNCUT - Your nudes are great sweetie
Welcome to therapy Thursday! Sit down and get comfy, as we take a deep dive into your questions! Firstly, we'd like to clear up Laura's teenage crush on Hanson, because it seems like some of you have misunderstood... Then we dive into your questions: 1. I hooked up with a guy twice from Tinder in January. It wasn't the best time, it wasn't the worst. I messaged him after it and he never replied. Now, months later he's messaged and I didn't reply because I know that I should have some standards. He's followed up with "are you home?" My question is how much should you chat with someone when it's just been casual sex? How long 'between drinks' is too long? 2. I've been with my partner for 4 years and we've recently been trying to spice up our sex life. He loves it when I wear lingerie and costumes, which I am also open to. But for some reason I feel so silly when I present myself to him in the costumes! He's very complimentary, my self esteem is good, so it's not that I feel self conscious. How do I become more comfortable in dress up? 3. It's been 7 weeks since my partner and I have seen each other ( we've both been away). I decided to send him some hot nudes and his response was just "great." Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I expected a bit more of a response and it's leaving me feeling a bit rejected and disappointed. If you have a question you'd like us to unpack, send it on in to our DMs at lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

I went on a date with a guy and things got pretty handsy at the end of it. He wasn't very good at pleasuring me, and he has a really small package. He has a good personality.

She has asked me not to tell them. Now there's been a big all office email go out and the person is absolutely livid that no one is owning up to it. Should I out her or just stay out of it? 3. For some reason I have gotten the sudden 'ick' for my partner. Everything went from being really healthy, with a good sex life and now for the past 6 months, I've lost my attraction, drive and desire for them. I don't want to think I'm a shallow person, and I'm not sure why this has happened. Please help!

Bullying the bully? - Talking resilience with Turia Pit
Lovers and Lifers, it's our favourite day of the week! Today we're jumping into some real talk with the incredible Turia Pitt! But before we do that, we want to address some of the stuff going down on social media at the moment regarding the bullying and trolling of reality TV 'villains.' Where do we draw the line?? We're talking pile ons, and when does the punishment outweigh the crime? We are then joined by the incredible Turia Pitt. While competing in a 100km ultra marathon in the Kimberely region of NT in 2011, Turia encountered an out of control grassfire. Trapped by the flames, she suffered burns to 65% of her body. Turia went against the odds, surviving the fire and facing the next challenges head on. She’s gone on to write three best-selling books, coach over 40,000 people, be a motivational speaker, compete in the Ironman World Championships, walk the Kokoda Trek, build a business and mother 2 children. In this chat we speak about expectations and the happiness trap. We speak about her partner and the guilt she felt towards him. We also chat about the little things that we can do in our everyday lives to feel more successful and a sense of joy.

Ask Uncut - what's your shower/oral hygiene time frame? Hey Lifers, Welcome to therapy Thursday! We're kicking off this ep with some good news about women, and money and sport and all of those things in one! Then Laura threw a spanner in the works and initiated HOT debate: How long in between when you shower and you're okay with someone going down to frisky oral town? Not so spoiler alert, the ladies have some very conflicting opinions on this (RIP Matty J). Today we're jumping into these questions: I've developed feelings for my close friend. They have a partner. I don't know what to do from here because my feelings are growing stronger and I think there's a real spark between us After 1.5 years of being single, I still haven't slept with, been on a date or hooked up with anyone else. I have no feelings for my ex. I have had the opportunity to hook up with people on nights out, but I'd honestly rather go home and eat maccas. I'm wondering if I'm becoming asexual or if I'll ever want to be intimate with anyone again I was swiping on a dating app when I stumbled across one of my friend's boyfriends. Do I screen shot it and send it to her? Or do I just stay out of it? If you have an ask uncut question you'd like us to answer, send it on into the DMs at Lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

KIDNAPPED IN SOMALIA - A story of survival with Jessica Buchanan
"If I get kidnapped on this trip, will you come and get me?" was the last text that Jessica Buchanan sent to her husband before she was kidnapped by Somali Rebels. In today's episode we were lucky enough to chat with Jessica about her harrowing and heart wrenching story of being a humanitarian aid worker before being kidnapped by Somali land pirates. She was held captive for over 90 days before an elaborate rescue mission from SEAL team six, the same team that found and killed Osama Bin Laden, were sent in to rescue her. In our conversation with Jessica, she tells us what the experience was like for her. the conditions that she had to live in and what played on her mind each day. Jess speaks about the mental and physical battle of survival and the resilience that this unbelievable story has given her.

ASK UNCUT - you're not "TOO BIG" buddy
Firstly our lovely lifers, we wanna know, have you ever heard a guy say that he can't wear a condom because they're too small/he's too big? Well a tiktoker has done you research for you and spoiler alert, he was lyyyyying. Next up we jump into your deep dark and burning questions! How do you stop someone from playing aggressive tongue hockey with you? I've been seeing a guy for a few months and he's told me that I wear the same perfume as his ex girlfriend. They were together for 6 years. He very politely said that he would be happy to get me a new perfume that I like as a present, as my perfume reminds him of his ex. I can't decide if I'm a bit offended by this or if it's reasonable. I had a breast reduction a few years ago and the procedure didn't go to plan leaving me with bad scarring that is raised and keloid. I'm newly single and am ready to date again but I am so nervous about this 'deformity' on my breasts. Should I tell new partners before I sleep with them?

Hooked, Hitched & Hung Up sneak peek: Monica Lewinsky & Bill Clinton
Lifers! It’s a special preview of our brand new podcast Hooked, Hitched & Hung Up where we re-live the makeups and breakups, the fall-outs and the forever-afters, the ups and downs of the spiciest celebrity romances. We’re diving deep into the most fascinating Hollywood hookups, leaving no blog or Variety article unread in the quest for truth about these larger-than-life affairs. From Laura’s hall-pall Jason ‘Aquaman’ Momoa, who as a kid dreamt of one day marrying Cosby Show star Lisa Bonet... and then did. To the time Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were trading insults on social media for the whole world to see. And by god, just how many women was golfer Tiger Woods actually secretly seeing?! +++ SNEAK PEEK: Remember that time the whole world scapegoated a 20-something-year-old intern but not her very married, much older, very presidential secret lover? You might sort of know what happened between former US President Bill Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky. But the story’s taken on mythical status over the years, blurring the memories of those who watched it unfold on TV, and making it a confusing mess for those who didn’t. Britt and Laura take you into an understaffed White House where the interns are working late, and the world is wondering about the inappropriate actions of the President. Why did Monica have to hand her blue Gap dress over to the FBI? How did they get together in the first place? And how different does the whole love affair look with the benefit of hindsight, in a post-Me-Too world?

BUTT GRABS AND PAY GAPS - Uncut with Jessica Mauboy
Hi Lifers! Today we got to hang out with the uber cool, vocally gifted delight that is Jessica Mauboy! Jess has grown up in the public space and somehow never stepped a foot out of line! Her 'good girl' image has been upheld, likely because she is genuinely a wonderful human and this chat will likely make you feel the same! We spoke about her growing up in the NT, and what life was like for her family. We spoke about her rise to fame as a teenager and how that impacted the trajectory of her life. We chatted about love, her 14 year long relationship with her fiance Themali, and how they navigated 7 years of long distance. We touched on her music career and the current debate over pay inequality between the coaches on the voice. We bloody loved her! If you liked the ep, please share it with your mum, your dad, your dog or your friend and if you'd have a spare sec to leave us a review on apple podcasts, we'd be ever so grateful! We love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ASK UNCUT - I love you... but I'm not IN LOVE with you
Hey Lifers! It's Thursday which means it's time for us to jump into your dilemmas and give our 'lived in, sisterly' advice on what we think you should do! Today we're looking at: My partner has started their own business and is financially irresponsible. I've just found out that they borrowed $10k off of my dad without telling me. I'm not really sure how I can move forward. My friend has asked me to be a bridesmaid and has recently started making comments about my ACNE. Things like "you'll need to wear really thick makeup' and 'no close up photos of you' because it doesn't fit the aesthetic. Should I bring this up with her or let it slide? *note- we get pretty fucking mad in this one! My boyfriend says that he loves me but he's not in love with me. Do I end the relationship now or push through? If you have a question, please send it in on insta at lifeuncutpodcast and we would LOVE to hear your follow ups if we have answered a question in the past!

INTENTIONAL CELIBACY - The path to Pound Town is closed!
How're you going Lifers? Possibly a bit blue because the world is a bit of a dark place at the moment. In today's episode we are taking a deep dive on intentional celibacy, and we are joined by one of our community members whose story was just too great not to share with you all! Becky speaks about her deliberate and considered 2 years of abstaining from sex, & how it completely evolved her sense of self worth and healed her from previous relationships. Becky is a burst of energy, and could possibly look at kicking off a career in comedy with all of her one liners, and she had a pretty unconventional end to her 2 years being free of the D and V, and that was by going to a sex party and joining a couple for group sex. She speaks on how the period provided her with so much clarity on where she wanted to go in life and how to focus on herself. We kick off this episode by discussing the pros and cons of the new laws that will come into place in Aus about what influencers can and can't post and look, it's multifaceted to say the least!

My partner says I'm his dream girl, but that he doesn't want to get old and regret not hooking up with other people. What can I do about this? 4. I'm questioning how you know whether they're 'the one?" When things are good, am I just thinking that the grass is greener or is it an indication that it's just not right?"

We unpack what led them to making up their minds on children, how it impacts dating and how people have responded to it. We also chat about Rayna's breast reduction and dating in NYC!

REBEL WITH A CAUSE! UNCUT with Rebel Wilson
We are back lifers!!!! It’s so nice to be here! We missed you. Hope you missed us a little bit ;) We are kicking off 2022 with the one and only, the incredible REBEL WILSON! Some of you say that Britt manifested this friendship and look, we aren’t saying that you’re wrong. 2 years after Britt slid into her DMs, we finally got to sit down and enjoy a nice glass of sparkling or still water with Rebel. We were lucky enough to visit her in her home in Sydney and boy oh boy did she not hold back. This accidentally unfiltered will probably go down in Life Uncut history as one of the funniest and most wild stories of all time. In our chat with Rebel we discuss: -The infectious disease that led her to becoming an actor -her path to Hollywood that was certainly unusual -her long standing friendship with the ‘Bella’s’ from Pitch Perfect who she still speaks to every day -Her first children’s book that she wrote to overcome shyness -Directing her first feature film this year -Her support of the Australian theatre company that helped her launch her career; and putting her money where her mouth is by donating a million dollars to it! -As well as her hall pass and her quite awkward encounter with them that led to rumours of them sleeping together! Rebel is such an intelligent, driven, ambitious and kind woman and we could not have enjoyed her any more! We kick off this ep with some chat about Drake and why you may have been seeing him and hot sauce memes floating around. Another thing that we’d like to thank you for is that we just celebrated 20 million downloads and there aren’t words to explain how insanely grateful we are for your ears! If you like the ep, we’d love a little review if you’ve got a spare sec! Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell you friend, tell your dog and share the love because well, we love love!

Can you believe they were willing to trust us to not say something outrageous or speak about our intimate bodily functions on the radio waves? No? Us either! But they did!! Here is a smooshed together version of our radio show for you to get your ears around. We kick it off with a revelation of Britt's that would have had her snag a boyfie much sooner, before jumping into what made you think that your friend was cashed up. You guys know that there are some weird, wild and whacky stories published about Britt and Laura, so we turned it into a segment called Headlies where they have to break down the truth, or lack there of, behind the headline. Laura is in the dog house with Matty J and wants to know whether it's reasonable that she's in trouble or not! And we end the show with an ask uncut about whether it's okay to be naked around your dog! We hope you love it!

UNCUT with Bella Stokes, life as a transgender woman and finding her community
BONUS episode with Bella! Her story of being transgender, finding love and living with a chronic illness. Happy New Year Lifers! We're like the clingy little sibling that can't stay away from you so today we are bringing you a special bonus episode with one of our OG Lifers! It's an interview that has been requested by quite literally hundreds of you! Meet Bella, a founding member of the life uncut discussion group and a ray of sunshine in your facebook feeds! Over the past two years Bella has been so open and vulnerable with her transition journey, and also about finding love and living with chronic kidney disease. In this episode we sit down with Bella to speak about what her experiences were like realising her identity, sharing that knowledge with her friends and family and some of the challenges that the trans community face at the moment. We speak about how she navigated dating, how she chose her name and what is involved in gender reassignment. A big thing from this conversation is that gender reassignment surgery costs are extravagant (around the $30k mark) and not supported through medicare so there is a gofundme organised to help Bella with these costs.

Love me MORE and the need to please! Unpacking Codependency
Step right up to your meaty and juicy Tuesday because today we are kicking off the episode with some bach chat that has pretty much every media publication in Australia talking; the relationship breakdown between Brooke Blurton & Abbie Chatfield. We address this conversation from the perspective of two people who have been in the media wheel of Bachelor finales and how elements of privilege are intertwined with the timing of this particular situation. Then we are taking a deep dive on codependence. On the surface we look at codependence as being needy and controlling, but there's so much more to unpack here. These behaviours can be due to how we grew up, other relationship experiences we have had in life, and they can also exist in our workplace. friendship or family relationships too. We speak with founder and co-director of associated counsellors and psychologists Dan Auerbach, who has over 20 years of relationship counselling experience. He gives us his professional insight and experience in codependency. You can check Dan out here: https://www.counsellingsydney.com.au/dan-auerbach/ www.counsellingsydney.com.au Or phone (02) 8205 0566 In the episode, Laura and Britt mention an anonymous group that you can find here: https://www.codependentsanonymous.org.au/ If you liked the episode, share it with someone that you love because we love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The soft fade vs honest upfront debate is on! Happy Thursday lifers and welcome to therapy. Today's episode kicks off with a rather lengthy dilemma/debate from yours truly.

How do I say no and take some time for myself without offending anyone? -I'm newly seeing a guy that I like and can see something progressing with.

BACHETTE UNCUT - Brooke and Darvid fly off on a magic mower to live happily ever after
OH MY GOD… It’s our final Bachette episode! Maybe ever, maybe just for the year - we’re still undecided. It’s the second last ep, which kicks off with Darvid meeting Brooke in a kayak (sadly there was no cameo from surf dog bachelor). After a quick paddle, they jump on quad bikes and try to escape from the Bachelorette compound. Osher springs into action and catches Brooke - forcing her on a date with Jamie-Lee. They go on a bush walk, which Brooke hates because she’s wearing brand new white jeans. Jamie-Lee tries to save the date by declaring her love but before Brooke can react - Osher picks her up and forces her to go on one last date with Holly. She makes Brooke endure a marathon session of interpretive dance and just when Brooke thought it couldn’t get any worse - Holly declares that she hates kids and WA. It’s all too much for Brooke who storms off mid date. Time for the finale, which is between the Persian Landscaping Prince and Best Friend Jamie-Lee. Both get grilled by Brooke’s besties - Amy and Abbie Chatfield. They both agree that Darvid is a total dreamboat but Jamie-Lee won't give up just yet. She hires a couple of bicycles and takes Brooke down to the skatepark to smoke cigarettes they stole from Osher’s dressing room. Darvid then rocks up and takes Brooke on a tantric-sex-yoga class, which is topped off with a confession of love. Osher decides that Brooke has endured enough so he allows her to say goodbye to Jamie-Lee who actually takes the news like a champion. Before she can wipe away her tears (and her eyelashes) Darvid rocks up to finish off their tantric sex lesson. Brooke is so emotional she literally cries away her eyelashes. It’s beautiful, its heart-warming, it’s why we watch this show. WE LOVE LOVE !!! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We sat down with Sally to not only speak about her brand new book "The younger wife" (which you can get here BTW: https://www.sallyhepworthauthor.com/ ) but also to talk about navigating a change in your career when you've possibly had a different one before or you're a little bit further along in life. Sally boldly became an author not long after the birth of her first child so we picked her brain about how and why she made such a pivotal change in her life! It wouldn't have been possible for her to be such a successful writer without her husband Christian making some changes in his roles as a parent and within the household. We talk with Sally about what a parent's role can look like in 2021. Sally is witty. She is hilarious & she went to a sex party to research one of her books. This episode is likely to give you a laugh! You can find Sally here: https://www.instagram.com/sallyhepworth/?hl=en We also touch on the Matt Doran, channel 7, "I haven't listened to your album yet Adele" saga and how it's a good reminder that we need to pay more attention to what the boy scouts said and 'always be prepared!" If you like the episode, and the pod, we'd really love a review on apple podcasts! Share it with someone who might be in need of some career change inspo because we love love!

BACHETTE UNCUT - We riot for Konrad
Strap yourselves in because this week is an old-school bachette marathon session - that’s right, three episodes in one week ! Holly gets the first single date and she’s making bracelets with Brooke - it’s sweet and lovely and the bracelets are totally gorg. Would you believe me if I said there was no dancing on this date? Sad but true. For the group date - Osher meets the remaining contestants in the park with a bunch of random kids and some toys from Kmart. I know they’ve had budget cuts but CMON!!! Now it’s the final cocktail party and is competing for the last remaining singe date. Holly gives Brooke a lock of hair, Jamie-Lee writes her another love letter, Darvid gives her an old receipt he found in his wallet and Konrad buys her a new pony. Then, who does she pick…? That’s right - the Persian Prince. We then say goodbye to Luca and Will - INTRUDERS NEVER WIN! The next episode kicks off with a group date and we’re being treated with some life drawing, however the key is capturing what Brooke represents (we’re getting deep). The concept sounds lovely but it’s really just 15 min of people drawing in silence - fun times! Konrad absolutely crushes it, and his picture is so beautiful it makes Brooke burst into tears. The only problem is - he tells her that working 9-5 is for losers and he wants to become Australia’s biggest influencer. It’s time for Darvid’s single date with Brooke and they’re making wine with their feet because Brooke has a mean foot fetish that needs quenching. Brooke then makes everyone go to the cocktail party barefoot because Darvid’s feet weren't enough - Millie was sent home because she had tinea and Kurt left because he had an ingrown nail. HOMETOWNS BABY! Without question, the highlight of this episode was Konrad’s dad. In fact, he was the highlight of the entire season. Imagine an older, quirkier, and more sensitive version of Konrad. Absolute heaven! Jamie Lee is up next and she has a shocker and gives Brooke a high-five instead of telling her she’s falling in love. Darvid made Brooke meet his mum who said she’d physically hurt anyone who made her son move away from Brisbane. Holly’s wasn’t much better and her mum told Brooke that her daughter hates kids and WA. Brooke’s so confused by all of this that she sends home the one shining light from this season…. WE MISS YOU ALREADY KONRAD ! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ASK UNCUT - Kendall Jenner's wedding attire and can you co-parent a pooch with your ex?
Hey Lifers, Take your seat on the couch and we'll put the kettle on. Welcome to therapy Thursday. Today we kick off the episode by taking a look at the dress Kendall Jenner wore to her best friend's wedding; whether it's completely inappropriate or not and whether the concept of 'skinny privilege' has a part to play in these conversations. We're jumping into some big questions today like: -Can you still have a relationship with your pet that you shared with a partner after you break up? If you can, how does that look/work? -Do you need/want to know about your partner's past relationships? Does that benefit YOUR relationship? -We had a listener write in asking whether she should 'give up' on the possibility of meeting someone and have a baby by herself. They asked if that would be goodbye to any potential of romance in the future. If you have a dilemma you'd like us to unpack, slide on into our DMs on the gram @lifeuncutpodcast. The Australian podcast Listener's choice award is back and frankly, it's the one that we care about the most because it's a reflection of you guys, our incredible community, not a bunch of judges deciding whether we tell too many poop stories!

Happy Thursday lovely lifers and welcome to church.

BACHETTE UNCUT - Salsa, self care and some fresh meat
It’s another episode of Bachette Uncut brought to you by the gasiest of couples - Matty J and Laura (this joke will make sense when you hear the start of the ep). The show kicks off with Holly dancing her way into a single date with Brooke where they literally…. dance the whole time. NO MORE DANCING HOLLY! They have a beautiful honest conversation about sexuality and identity, which is topped off with a rose and kiss. Just before Holly can break out the Samba one last time - it’s time for the group date! As per all group dates of late, it’s a weird mix of whatever the prop department has laying around channel 10. This week is a jumping castle compatibility game complete with ropes, love hearts and scissors. It’s seriously a miracle that everyone made it out of this date alive. Emily was crowned most compatible, which proves these games are a total waste of time. Not a whole lot happens at the cocktail party except for Darrrrvid getting a kiss that went on for 10 min - yes this actually happened. Ep 4 saw everyone’s favourite contestant finally get a single date - that’s right it’s the hunk a spunk Konrad! They have a pamper date organised, which just involves Konrad taking his clothes off and being rubbed in oil on a massage table (well played Brooke). They kiss and cry (happy tears) and kiss and cry and kiss.. then cry.. followed by some more kissing and crying. To be honest, I’ve never seen a couple kiss and cry so much on a date but I’m not complaining - it’s beautiful. The group date is a go-kart race that involves folding Osher’s washing and organising his Christmas decorations. I swear we’re not making this up! Carissa wins because she’s a pro at untangling fairy lights but all she gets is a friendship peck from Brooke. Awkies! Just when we were starting to learn everyone’s name, production decided to throw in intruders - four of them! All the OG’s freak out and turn on Osher as they begin looting the mansion - they only stop when police are called to break up rioting (this last part is made up).

WE ARE BACK BABY and it’s BACH-ETTE UNCUT TIME! After the mild success that was Bach Uncut last season with our Kinky Captain, a few of you wanted to hear us squabble our way through this season of the Bachelorette. Matty J is back behind the microphone and Laura is back behind a glass of wine! It is a Bachelorette world first...history making stuff! Australia’s sweetheart Brooke Blurton our very first bisexual, Indigenous lead takes her third shot at love! Episode one kicks off with a traumatic walk down memory lane where the Honey Badger is thrust back onto our screens and to be honest, Australia wasn’t ready for this yet. But Bachi makes up for this with the most heart warming Welcome To Country and who the hell is cutting onions!! Next up it’s time to bring in the suitors! Matt has picked Konrad to win and Laura thinks it’s going to be Darvid… ONLY TIME WILL TELL! Episode one sees some drama over an IKEA chair, and well we all know what a b*tch flat pack can be in a relationship. Some guy goes home. We can’t remember his name. Episode 2: Our Persian Pirate prince Darvid gets the first single date, and he scores himself a big old sloppy kiss and a rose. And in true Bach form the first group date is the illusive group photo shoot and it did not disappoint. The cocktail gets a little spicy and Beautiful Beau goes home. We just hope the producers made him delete his camera roll before he left the mansion. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers! It's your enthusiastically unqualified but passionate about helping a sister out therapy Thursday where we dive into your deepest questions! First cab off the rank today is about whether you need to experience a couple of people before you settle on 'the one.' What happens if you're really young and you've found the person you want to marry but you're afraid of the judgement? Secondly, well things get a little juicier here and this one isn't for the faint of heart... I want my husband to go down there after we've finished having sex, but he thinks it's a bit gross and weird. Opinions? Next up we're talking how to address that awkward AF sitch when your neighbours have obnoxiously loud sex; like, wake the dog up loud! How do you get them to shush it without making it hella awkward? Lastly we dive into what to do when someone that you really liked and dated for 2 months completely ghosts you, and then resurrects themselves with an apology.

Until a teenage Mormon armed with Tik tok made our day and shed some light on this hush hush act. Kinks.

My boyfriend of one year wants to move in together, I think he is my penguin but I low key want to live alone forever! Help!? How do I broach this and is this normal!? My ex messaged out of the blue and wants to “catch up” to see how I’ve been. I’m seeing someone now and very happy but also considering meeting my ex… is this ok? Should I meet him? Do I tell my bf? Do I blow him off?

Well, today we are joined by the lovely, pragmatic, manifestation guru and journalist Jordanna Levin to talk all things manifestation and how it can affect your dating and love life. We speak about how manifestation has been a little misrepresented in the pop culture space and how rom coms from Hollywood have warped our perception of what to expect out of a 'soul mate.'

September has been given a new name - Soft launch September! We talk all things soft launching a partner, a baby, even soft launching yourself back in to singledom!

They will be everything! But what happens when we get slapped in the face with reality and someone ticks every one of our boxes, except that we don't necessarily want to rip their clothes off? We are talking ATTRACTION Does this mean that they're not 'our penguin?' Does it mean that we should continue dating them in the hopes that those feelings develop?

From attitude to gratitude and resilience with Hugh van Cuylenburg
Happy Tuesday Lifers! Or maybe we should be wishing you a content Tuesday? Because in today's episode we are diving into the happiness trap and how our goal should possibly be one more of content-ness than happiness. We sat down and chatted mental health and mindfulness with Hugh Van Cuylenburg from The Resilience Project. Hugh's story is interesting. It's thought provoking, and it's empowering. In times like how we are living right now, we couldn't think of a better time to talk to someone like him. Hopefully after listening to this episode, you'll feel that little bit better and more ready to take on the week.

KING KINKY AND QUEEN HOLLY - Sitting down with Australia's newest Bachie royals
Its the big kahuna, the big cheese, the chat of the century... the Bach Uncut episode we have all been waiting with baited breath for. On today's episode we are sitting down with Holly and Jimmy and having a good old yarn with Australia's newest bachie royals. Holly shares the truth behind the mean girl drama, where things are at with Brooke and we also get our hands on a very saucy voice memo that Jimmy left for his new love, and well we don't call him the Kinky Captain for nothing.

BACH UNCUT - The Kinky Captain gets his Queen
Goodness gracious me it’s the final week of Bach Uncut! Jimmy’s already clocked off for the season so he’s making the last three remaining girls organise their own dates. Holly clearly snagged the entire remaining budget and she picks Jimmy up in a pimping two-story boat. They talk about what life would be like after the show and even though Jimmy admits he’ll work so much that he’ll only be around 2 weeks of the year, Holly doesn’t care because she admits she’s fallen in love with him. Whaaaat, love bombs already and it’s not even the finale !? Jimmy replies by pushing her in the water because he loves to give her hyperthermia on their dates. Jay is up next and all she can afford is a leaking kayak in the harbour. They paddle around, listen to classical music (Jimmy hates it) and then he confronts her about the 83rd rumour he’s heard - Jay used to date the Bachelor New Zealand. It’s at this point we knew it was all over for Jay. Brooke is up next and she’s stolen a puppy to play with in the park. Just when you thought Brooke was all glitter and fairies, she throws Jimmy in a hot tub and girates him until Osher kicks them out. Time for the finale and we’re all heading to Alice Springs to meet Jimmy’s family ! His mum, dad and sister are there and even his cousin.. Because we all know how invaluable dating advice is from your cousin (please explain Jimmy). Jimmy’s mum is team Holly and his dad is team Brooke and his sister is like.. just f*#king tell us who you’re going to pick already (the cousin literally doesn’t say a word). Brooke’s single date is very bloody adorable and she’s literally having the best time of her life as they enjoy a champagne sunrise in a hot air balloon. She’s so certain it’s going to be her at the end and oh god - our hearts are already breaking! Holly’s date is up next and they snag a cheap flight to Uluru but the only catch is that Jimmy’s parents paid for it so they’re coming along for the date (this actually kinda happened). The finale is as brutal as you can imagine but it’s not a total disaster because we’re gifted a beautiful love story with Holly and Jimmy, which makes it all worthwhile. WE LOVE LOVE !

ASK UNCUT - HELP! Work wars, faking the big O and pregnancy fears 👌💦
Happy Thursday Lifers, It's time to get into your deep, dark and burning questions but FIRST we simply must know how the heck Britt manifested this friendship with Rebel Wilson that we're seeing all over the gram! Our deep dives for today are: -Friendship/sibling work relationships. Do they work with work? How do you get them to work? -I've been in a happy relationship for a long time and we have great sex. The catch is that I've been faking orgasms because getting to the big O has been tough and I have some factors like meds coming into it. Do I tell my partner that I've been faking it for 6 months or will that destroy him? -I'm pregnant and I feel excited, sad and terrified all at the same time. Is this abnormal or is it business as usual to have doubts as high as the ceilings? You know the drill, if you like the pod, follow/subscribe and leave a little review if you've got a spare sec!

Incarceration Nation with Carly Stanley
Welcome to your Tuesday Lifers! Today on the podcast we are diving into the history of racial injustice and inequality that so many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples face every day in Australia. We were lucky enough to be joined by Carly Stanley, the CEO and co founder of Deadly connections and Justice services limited, a proud Wiradjuri woman. Carly featured on the NITV documentary titled "Incarceration Nation." In this chat we speak to Carly about how her husband's life turned around after his experiences from juvenile detention & adult incarceration, to running an organisation that aims at healing First Nations people that have been impacted by the child protection and/or justice systems. We talk about why so many Indigenous children are being locked up and how we need structural change and better solutions for these children. Today's episode is not a light one, and we would like to add a warning that issues of violence, death and racism are addressed in this episode. If you would like to check out the wonderful work that Carly does with Deadly Connections, you can do so here: https://deadlyconnections.org.au/ If you would like to view the documentary, Incarceration Nation can be found here: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/1930938947662/incarceration-nation The issues discussed in today's episode are heartbreaking and raw, but they are conversations that we think every Australian needs to have.

BACH UNCT - The hometown showdown
Hooly dooley can you believe it’s hometowns already !? Well we can… because it felt like we watched 82 eps of the Bach last week. We kick off ep 13 with Brooke getting the last single date up for grabs - Jimmy’s taken her to the world’s highest sex swing at the top of Centrepoint Tower. Look.. there’s no swing and it’s actually just a pilates class but they give the instructor the flick and make out like it’s going out of fashion. Next, Jimmy thought it’d be fun if they drank their body weight in coffee (we’re not even kidding with this part). Brooke manages to survive the tirade of coffee and decides to ask why he’s been so horny with all the other girls. OUR KINKY CAPTAIN ANSWERS TO NO ONE! The group date was a truly buck-wild concept where Osher found a body language expert who could pick out vulnerable personality traits just by looking at facial features of the remaining woman (there has to be someone in production smoking the wacky backy). At the cocktail party Brooke reveals that she still hasn’t slept a wink following their date, so Jimmy decides the only fair thing to do is send Lily and Ash home. Ep 14 and it’s hometowns bitches! Carlie is first cab off the rank, and can we just take a minute to appreciate how beautiful her teeth are!? Her family are equally as shiny and perfect, and she cements herself as this season's top wifey. Jay is next and her friend drops a bombshell and admits her last boyf is uber famous and she’s gunning to be a TV presenter. TAHNEE WAS RIGHT !? Holly’s hometown is bloody delicious and it’s everything you’d expect from this lovely gal - except just as she’s about to drop the L bomb as Jimmy’s walking out the door, she chokes (not literally). This leaves the door right open for Brooke (or Brookie as Jimmy now calls her). She’s clearly falling hard for him except all her family admit she hates coffee, Sydney and sex swings at the top of Centrepoint Tower.. which completely throws Jimmy. Then in this season’s biggest twist, Jimmy decides to send Carlie home at the rose ceremony. What in the name of porcelain white veneers is going on !????

ASK UNCUT - To sit or stand that is the question!
Happy Thursday Lifers and today we have a couple of doozy questions for you! We're kicking off your therapy Thursday by asking how the heck to get a friend to not only admit that they damaged the house you rent, but also to pay to fix it! We then open a somewhat lengthy, and possibly 'please skip ahead if you're a little high brow' dilemma about whether you sit or stand...and whether potentially gender plays into it. Our third question is a little bit harder to stay neutral on. "I'm really into a guy who has a girlfriend. We hang out and talk a lot and the chemistry is so amazing. Nothing inappropriate has happened yet. What do I do?" Strap yourselves in for a yo-yo today lifers because we really tackle all sides of the equation!

Happy Tuesday Lifers, and that is exactly what we plan on bringing you! The world has been a dark place lately and today's episode should help you feel a little bit better. Today we chat with Em Carey.

Em's parachute failed, causing her to become paralysed from the waist down. Em defied the odds and learnt to walk again, and through that experience her perspective on life and how we view our bodies evolved. In this chat we talk about learning to love the lives and bodies that we have. We speak about the pros and cons of altering our bodies and the reasons that we should & shouldn't do it. Em has such a refreshing and inspiring perspective on life that really hits you in your core!

BACH UNCUT - Swamps, tats and the great bachie bush doof (Part two)
So how many episodes of the Bachelor do you think we’re re-capping this week? 2..14...28? Well if you guessed 3, you’d be correct! Wednesday was a big thick juicy double ep that kicked off with Holly getting a second single date. They waded through freezing knee-deep water in a national park, which is as good as single dates have been going lately. The group date saw all the girls having lunch with Jimmy’s mum, Susan. The only issue.. She likes her bachelorettes served well done. Poor old Steph copped the full brunt and if her bags aren’t packed… they should be! Things go from bad to worse for Steph and at the cocktail party, half the girls tell Jimmy she’s gotta go. Except wait for this big twist that Tahnee dropped… JAY WANTS TO BE RUNNER UP AND CASH IN ON HER NEW FOUND FAME! Not sure if we’re now technically on ep 11 or still 10.. Who the hell bloody knows what’s going on or what day it is. Osher decides to throw a bush doof in the backyard of the Bach mansion, which is complete with teepee tents, glow sticks and DJ decks. As soon as they get there, Jimmy pulls Jay aside to make sure she’s not gunning to be a Matty J 2.0, which she staunchly denies. When they return Jay bee-lines it for Tahnne and things kick off. They both end up in tears saying the other one is lying - it’s incredibly awkward but equal parts entertaining. Jimmy decides that Jay is too good at kissing so he says goodbye to Tahnee. The next single date is with Carlie and they’re tattooing each other.. Except it’s not real tattoos because Osher spent all the budget on the bush doof so they’re using sharpies he bought from the local servo. Sadly they opt for compases instead of southern cross tattoos (we can’t help but wish Sierah was on this date). The group date is an water obstacle course that’s being billed as a Bachelor Love Triathlon. Jay is the clear favourite to win, which is great because she needs to repair her reputation but she throws the game and let’s Ash win. WHAT ARE YOU DOING JAY!!!! Jimmy gets the extra time with Ash and he looks like a kid who got given an avocado for Christmas. At the cocktail party Brooke returns and she’s as horny as a teenager at Schoolies. After jumping Jimmy she proudly declares that she’s getting all the remaining single dates and if anyone gets in her way, she’s going to put them in a headlock. This prompts Laura to decide she’s had enough and calls for the first free limo back to Sydney. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If this raises any issues for you, contact: Lifeline 13 11 14 Lifeline support chat service: lifeline.org.au 1800 RESPECT or 1800 737 732 Today we are discussing a very difficult topic but something so important. We have Jess Hill with us today. Jess is an award winning investigative journalist who has really put the difficult conversations regarding domestic violence and coercive control into the forefront of Australian media. Her book “see what you made me do” and SBS program of the same name introduced us to attempting to understand how and why domestic violence is such a problem in Australia. She has also recently started a podcast on this topic called “The Trap.” DV and conversations around coercive control is something close to our hearts. Some of you will remember the beautiful Bianca who joined us a few months ago on the pod, and told the tragic story of her sister Katie losing her life at the hands of her partner. Bianca’s story was first shared on Jess Hill’s SBS program and that is how we came to know Bianca. Having Jess with us today brings that story full circle and hopefully we shed some more light on a situation that is far too prevalent. We talk: Domestic violence and coercive control Early signs Love bombing and perspecticide Why it is not always so easy to "just leave" Behaviours like location tracking Groups and people at risk How it affects families including children Problems with the system Where both the victim and perpetrator can get help You can listen to "The trap" here If you know anyone that may benefit from this episode in some way please send it their way and share the love, because, well, we love love. x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BACH UNCUT - Double dose, friend zoned and farewell to our favourite horny bogan
Another week of the Kinky Captain gracing our screens and we’ve been delivered a smörgåsbord board of (albeit less horny) goodness. Ep 7 kicks off with Jimmy gushing over his motorbike and the girls pretending like they’re interested in it. Lily is invited to take a ride to a secluded beach where Jimmy’s grandma had three heart attacks (we’re not kidding). It’s also the perfect spot to learn how to surf and make out. Meanwhile back at the mansion, Jimmy’s sister and cousin are joining the girls for dinner. But instead of dessert, they’ve brought an honesty box. Holly ends up getting thrown under the honest box bus as she’s accused of being two faced and fake. DRAMAAAAAAA! Ep 8 kicks off with Carlie receiving her first single dates at one of Sydney’s most romantic venues - Western Sydney Uni. They avoid any games of beer-pong and zipline into each other's mouths… oh, and there’s also a champagne tower and a fluorescent hula hooper because, Bachelor! Sticking with the educational theme, the group date was at an old high school where the girls enjoyed a debating competition, poison ball and a prom night, which was actually a rose ceremony in disguise (Osher you evil bastard). So this is the episode of Bach that never ends because now we have our beloved Laura on an Italian themed date and we’re sorry to say it was a total disaster. Like pineapple on a pizza type disaster! They cooked pasta, it turned out awful. She leant it for a kiss, it was as successful as the pasta. Just when you thought it was game over for Laura, Jimmy convinces her to stay (we’re still trying to figure this one out). The group date was speed dating with 5 of the girl’s mums. Sadly, none of the mothers received roses or a kiss and they were all sent home. There was also a two second game of tennis with Jay at the Bach mansion where she addressed rumours that she didn’t want to have kids (she confirmed she wants all the babies). Shout out to all the women who left the mansion this week, but special mention must go to the one and only Sierah... WE STAN ! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why are we all obsessed with true crime and reality TV?
Some of us are more willing to admit it than others, but isn’t it just so therapeutic to chuck on some trash reality TV at the end of a busy, hectic day? Whether you like keeping up with the Kardashians, or following the drama filled shit show that is married at first sight, I think we can all admit that there’s something about escaping into a different world to our own that we find intriguing. But what exactly is it that makes us want to be a fly on the wall in other people’s lives? Why are we so obsessed with serial killer docu-dramas and podcasts? Are we sick to be utterly engaged in a “who did it and how?” episode about some pretty messed up things? Psychologist and criminology expert Sandy Rea joined Laura and Britt on the podcast to tell us exactly what the heck is going on in our brains and why we are so into reality TV and true crime! She shares her wealth of knowledge from working as a psychologist in maximum security prisons in Australia, to her time spent working as a psychologist on reality TV platforms! Speaking of true crime, the girls have some recommendations for you this week and they’re all about “Dr Death.” Laura recommended the new series on Stan titled Dr Death, and Britt recommends the podcast! You can find Sandy Rea here: https://www.sandyrea.com/ If you love the episode and see the irony in us sharing a love of reality TV when that’s potentially where you met us (haha) then please share it with a friend!

BACH UNCUT - clowns, chlamydia and car rides
Hold onto your undies Lifers, it's ep 5 and 6 and by goodnesses gracious me, they were doozies. Matt and Laura are back squabbling like a married couple behind the microphone, bringing you the breakdown on this weeks episodes. On ep 5 Steph was given the worlds most boring single date. She (once again) suffered amnesia and all of a sudden has a new found love of pilots. The date ended with an intense game of tonsil hokey...surprise surprise (to absolutely no one). The group date saw Holly (Nikki Gogan 2.0) take a trip to the hospital, and Matt and Laura both think this was a monumental waste of our essential healthcare workers time. Fast track to the Rose ceremony and it was like watching a pack wild animals in the zoo, which was easily the most entertaining part. EP 6 , Jimmy busts out the Big guns for Va-jay-jay, and we wished the production team had better distributed the budget so we didn't have to sit through flight simulation on the last episode. On this ep we have a helicopter, a jet ski and a drag race and I can guarantee you the rest of the season is going to be tea parties in the backyard as there is no money left. The group date on ep 6 was confusing, fabulous. According to Matt whoever came up with the idea was cooked on mushrooms, and well..... no arguments here. We said goodbye to another polite, pleasant and lovely woman who has received absolutely no airtime this season. Looking forward to all the cooked shit Sierah has to say next week.

EGGS ON ICE! Britt shares her egg-freezing story
LIFERS, we are BACK BABY!!! We are coming in hot with a really important and heartfelt episode, diving into Britt’s egg freezing journey and answering all of the questions that you had about the process, the costs, how it felt and what was expected/unexpected. We talk a lot about hormones and how it all works – the female body is a wild and miraculous machine! Britt initially decided to have her fertility assessed after an interview that we did with Dr Cheryl Phua from Genea Horizon. It was from this chat that Britt became a little more curious about her own fertility; a curiosity that revealed that she only had around a 15% chance of conceiving naturally, largely based on age. This led to her investing in her potential future family by having her eggs frozen. A decision that ended up lifting a large weight off her shoulders. If you have ever been curious about egg freezing, or possibly thought about looking into the process for yourself, this episode will feel like sitting down with a girlfriend who can tell you exactly what she experienced (spoiler, there were a fair few tears). We are passionate about taking away the stigma associated with fertility so If you know someone who may benefit from this episode (let’s be real, we feel like all women can) send it their way! We would also like to note that fertility issues and miscarriage are discussed in this episode. If you would like to listen to our initial chat about fertility “How do you like your eggs? Frozen or fertilised? TALKING FERTILITY” you can do so here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-do-you-like-your-eggs-frozen-or-fertilised-talking/id1472126503?i=1000498869597 We hope you get some questions answered in this episode and if you have any more, you can send them through on Instagram @lifeuncutpodcast!

While Britt and Laura are on break we are revisiting the past today - with episode 86 Fight for your right, talking conflict resolution styles for those of you who have not listened yet.

The 5 conflict styles we discuss are -Conflict avoiders -volatile couples -validating couples -hostile couples -hostile-detached couples. These are so important to understand about yourself and your partner so you can work towards a happier, healthier relationship. So, which one are you!?

PART 1 - The sentencing of Allison Mack with India Oxenberg survivor of the NXIVM sex cult
In January this year we sat down with India Oxenberg who was the survivor of a US based sex cult named NXIVM. Since speaking with India in January one of her main abusers Allison Mack has been sentenced. Since we know so many of our listeners have been invested in India's story, Laura sits down with India to discuss Allison's sentencing and whether this has brought her closure.

PART 2 - Walk down memory lane : Inside sex cult NXIVM with India Oxenberg
Lifers, This is Part 2 and one from the archives. For anyone who has not listened to India Oxenberg's full interview we cannot recommend this episode enough. This episode was originally published on the 20th of January 2021. PART 1: Is a a new interview recorded on the 6th of July 2021 discussing Allison Mack's recent conviction and sentencing. This podcast episode discusses sexual assault, coercive control and living in a cult, This may be triggering to victim survivors. If you need help or someone to talk to, you can call 1800 RESPECT or visit respect.gov.au. “My name is India Oxenberg. I was in a cult for seven years. I didn't want to be saved," This is the harrowing opening line to Stan's four-part docuseries that explores the NXIVM cult. The cult started as a US-based self-improvement group, led by Keith Raniere, but in the end the group was exposed for the dark and disturbing cult that it was. For 20 years from 1998 and 2018, Raniere recruited thousands of people under the guise of personal development seminars and self improvement sessions even luring in several celebrities and socialites with the most prolific being Smallville star Allison Mack. Over a long period of time, NXIVM faced a multitude of accusations of systemic sexual abuse of female members by Raniere and members of his inner circle. India was a part of this cult, without knowledge that it was a cult, for 7 years. The last two of which she was a part of a secret sub group within the cult called DOS, which is a Latin phrase that translates to "Master over Slave Women," It was at this point India was expected to engage in sex acts with Keith Raniere, to act as a slave to Smallville star Allison Mack and to be a master to her own two slaves. It was also here that she was held down naked and branded with Keiths initials on her stomach without anaesthetic and while being filmed. We are so grateful to have India join us today to personally tell us her story. How she got involved with the group, what life was life inside, the perpetual yet slow grooming, the coercive control, the manipulation and brain washing, the things she was made to do, the collateral she was forced to put down to ensure her silence. She speaks candidly about when things turned sexual, her inhumane branding and eventually how she found her way out and her life after the cult.

Happy Tuesday Lifers! You all know that here at life uncut, we love love; and we also love Love on the Spectrum! It’s the show where young adults on the autism spectrum navigate the unpredictable and complicated world of dating and relationships. Joining us today on the ep are: the wonderful Kassandra, who is one of the participants on Love on the Spectrum, as well as Jodi Rodgers who is a relationship expert with an extensive history working with people of mixed abilities. In this episode, it’s made clear to us that Love on the Spectrum isn’t a show for autistic people; it’s a show for neurotypical people to better understand how autistic people live and see the world a little differently. Kassandra tells us how and when she was diagnosed, and how different it can be for boys and girls, & breaks down a lot of the misconceptions about autism. We also talk about how it’s really hard to look forward to anything at the moment because of how easily it can all be whisked away, the lockdown and the woman who married a dolphin that *very sadly has passed away.

Getting back on that horse with comedian Becky Lucas - Talking failures and sh*tty life lessons.
What do you call a politician who accidentally zooms parliament Nude? Unlucky. What do you call a politician who accidentally zooms parliament nude again while urinating? Fired. haha if you guys think your day was bad, spare a thought for William Amos. Moving right along! Let's talk failure. Is it that bad? Perhaps our failures are serendipitous after all? “Everything happens for a reason.” We’ve all heard that saying and even Aristotle believed that everything happening to you today has a purpose because it turns you into the person you are becoming (gosh talk about starting off deep) So, whether you think that everything happens for a reason, or perhaps that everything happens for a lesson, we’re talking about how sometimes in life, with the beauty of hindsight, it can be the worst points in our lives that make the best stories and mould us into the people that we are. Whether it’s your horrific ex-boyfriend who broke down your ego that allowed you to rebuild it from scratch and learn what you liked about yourself, or the soul destroying job that you got fired from that ended up putting you on a different career trajectory, it’s these ‘failures’ that end up being the pivotal moments in our lives that enable us to be better. In this episode, Aussie comedian Becky Lucas joins us to chat about her life experiences that were, well, slightly less than ideal and resulted in her landing herself in a bin; literally. She speaks about the boy who made her feel like she wasn’t really good enough for him and how that made the comedy stage seem not so scary. Becky has written a funny as f*ck book titled “Acknowledgements" and it comes out tomorrow! You can find Becky on insta: @ beckylucas__ You can find her new book “Acknowledgements” tomorrow at all good bookstores and online.

LIVING WITH ENDO. Talking endometriosis with Bridget Hustwaite
Hey Lifers! Whether you suffer from it yourself or you’ve got a friend or family member who does, we’re sure you’ve heard that living with endometriosis can be super challenging. We thought we knew what endometriosis was, but as it turns out, there’s a lot of misinformation and misunderstandings about endo. Endometriosis currently affects 1 in 9 Australians assigned female at birth (and 176 million people worldwide) but diagnosis takes on average 7 - 12 years. After years of dismissive doctors and misinformation, BridgetHustwaite, who you might know from her ‘Good Nights’ show on Triple J, finally received a diagnosis for her intensely heavy periods, pulsing headaches and excruciating abdominal pain in 2018. In this episode Bridget gets real with the truths and myths about endo and how to navigate the inconsistent answers from health professionals, how living with endometriosis can affect your dating and sex life and what it actually costs to have a chronic illness in Australia. Bridget recently released her first book titled “How to Endo” which is a definitive guide to surviving and thriving with endometriosis. She also hosts an Instagram account, @endogram, where a community of women share their experiences of living with endometriosis. You can find Bridget on Instagram @bridgethustwaite.

The night my sister was killed. Talking domestic violence with Bianca Unwin
Lifers, today we have one of the toughest but most moving interviews that we have ever aired. Meet Bianca, the sister of a beautiful woman named Katie who was murdered by her partner 3 years ago. This type of harrowing story seems to be all too common in Australia at the moment, and we feel as though the only way to change the domestic violence landscape is to speak about it. What started as “the happiest” Katie’s family had ever seen her, led to what they described as ‘childish jealousy’ and eventually her brutal murder. In this episode we learn about the warning signs that Katie’s partner displayed of troubling behaviour, coercive control and stalking. Bianca also speaks about how domestic violence has affected her entire family.

ASK UNCUT - I sometimes resent my children, I want to move to the city but my fiancee won't budge, my love of 5 years ended it out of nowhere
Therapy Thursday is here and WOOP we love Thursdays! It's as much of a therapy session for us as it is for you! We kick off with some accidentally unfiltered moments that Britt and Laura both had this week before helping some of you lot out with your deep, dark, burning questions. -HALP. My boyfriend of 5 years walked in this morning and told me he doesn't love me anymore. Why!? What do I do!? How do I get over this!? -I resent my children.... sometimes. Is this normal? Am I the worst person in the world? I feel so much guilt but what is my life now!? -For 2.5 years I have wanted to move away from my home town to try something new. My fiancé and partner of 5 years wont budge, but he also doesn't want to do long distance. What do I do? Do I go? Do I stay? What is the right thing!? I love him dearly but all I think about is moving! Lifers keep those questions rolling in! Slide on in to the DM's @lifeuncutpodcast and then sit back and enjoy the therapy session.

Stop right now, thank you very much. Talking Boundaries and Self worth.
If you've been watching the absolutely toxic shit storm that is Married at first sight, you'd be correct in saying the "experiment" and the people in it know no boundaries. And whilst the show has produced (a very small number) of success stories, it is basically a show dedicated to teaching us what not to do and how not to act. It led us to this weeks discussion, Boundaries and self worth. What is a boundary? What are healthy and unhealthy boundaries? How do we set them and maintain them and what is their connection to our self worth? But before that we jump head first into some very interesting American Bachelor chat and discuss Colton Underwood coming out, but also the toxic behaviour that went down in his relationship with his Bachelor winner Cassie Randolph and why it's been swept under the rug. If you love the ep and you haven't already please head on over and leave us a review on Apple podcasts, we will love you for it!

Happy Thursday Lifers! It's the quick down and dirty episode where we answer your deep and burning questions. Well, we try anyway. Laura takes us down memory lane with a hilarious dating story.

Or do I keep looking for my penguin? -My boyfriend and I are long distance and he always ignores me and leaves me on read, even though I see him online all the time. What do I do? When is enough enough? -Help! I came out of a toxic relationship. Now I am dating a great guy.... but... I am bored.

Foster Girlfriend, Dickmatized and Kittenfishing - Talking modern day dating terminologies
Lifers, it's Tuesday and we are back with a hot little episode to get in your ear holes. In case you haven't noticed navigating the modern dating world is bloody hard... not rocket science hard, more like rubic's cube hard - but we are here to make it that little bit easier for you. On todays episode we are unpacking all the obscure dating terminologies that explain all the messed up behaviour you might experience, hey maybe you're guilty of doing some of it yourself. But before we dissect what the hell things like 'flashpanning' and 'eclipsing' are, we both have recommendations for you and we also have a more serious conversation around consent. The VIC government has recently passed legislation making consent a mandatory part of school sexual education curriculum and we discuss why a former school students petition was the catalyst for change and why consent is an inextricable part of sexual education. If you would like to read the ABC article for yourself click here This episode discusses themes of sexual assault and consent, if this is triggering for you and you need to reach out for help you can get support here If you have loved this episode please leave a review and join the conversation on Instagram @lifeuncutpodcast.

HUSTLE CULTURE - The too busy trap
It's Thursday guys but this week due to Britt's loss of voice we had to switch things around so this is our big juicy episode! First up, Britt receives an insta DM that wasn't meant for her. Should cosmetic clinics be telling us all the things that are 'wrong' with us!? We think not. Ahhhh the hustle. The grind. The never ending list of things to do. Sound familiar? Why do we feel like to be successful we have to be running around like a chicken with it's head cut off? Always a million miles an hour, always hustling. In fact, as a society, we tend to glorify the hustle, as if if is something we should aspire to! But should we? Does busyness equate to success? Does busyness equate to productivity?

He loves ME... He loves me NOT. TALKING UNREQUITED LOVE
Ever loved someone that didn't love you back?! Samesies. It sucks. It's called unrequited love and if you answered no chances are you're telling a fib, or you may still have that heartbreak ahead of you, lucky you! I say this because research says roughly 98% of the population has been on either one or both sides of an unrequited love. Hey, at least you're not alone! The fact is, there will be times when we have strong feelings toward someone, when we imagine a life with them, when we only think about them, obsess over them and are completely preoccupied by them, only to find out that they do not feel the same way about us. This one-sided experience that can leave us feeling really shitty and feeling a lot of pain, grief, embarrassment, rejection and shame. It's shitty and confusing and it sucks. So let's unpack it. Oh, and have you guys seen all this stuff about Celeb spell check? It's juicy and controversial and if you don't know what we are talking about come and get amongst it. If you love the ep you know the drill! Tell your friends and well, anyone else that will listen. Hit subscribe, 5 stars and leave a review if you're feeling extra fancy.

Lifers! We literally couldn’t be more excited about today’s episode! We have an incredible guest and we had so much fun with this interview!

Well, besides corona virus, Kim and Kanye divorcing and Meghan Markle outing the royals with explosive bombshells of course! But hey, let’s save those for another day. But gosh we missed you guys! Today we are getting the goss on the man that has finally been able to tame Britt after nearly a decade of her being on the loose. What are the odds he wears turtlenecks and doesn’t know how hot he is? 🤣 Laura brought another beautiful baby girl into the world and named her Lola. We are diving deep into her birth story, leaving no unfiltered, painful, hilarious stone unturned.

LOVE AIN'T ENOUGH PEOPLE
Happy Tuesday Lifers! This is our last episode for a few weeks because it is time for Laura to go and birth a small human! And we can't wait to see the little cherub once it is earth side!! ( We will also see if our recent psychic medium David was correct in his prediction of boy or girl) But we will be back before you know it talking all about Lauras birth story! Ok, so let's talk love! We are brought up being told that "Love is all you need", but the older we get we have to wonder, is it? Now don't get us wrong, you're looking at two of the biggest lovers this side of the border (no, literally, we went on a dating show to find love (successful for one, always too soon for the other) and started a relationships and love podcast because, well, we love love. But we are firm believers that love just isn't enough on its own. In our society and culture, most of us idealise and romanticise relationships and love. We see it as the be all and end all. We are raised with the idea that life involves growing up, getting a job and falling in love. Full stop. It is portrayed in fairytales, books and movies as part of achieving success. The thing that makes everything better. That heals the pain and makes life easy. In the words of John Lennon, “Love is all we need” But is it!? If we do walk around with our head in the clouds like Lennon did, we’re more likely to ignore the fundamental values that are crucial to the success and health of a relationship, things such as honesty, trust, respect, humility, support and commitment towards the person we love. Jump on in as we deep dive into why we think relationships needs more than just those four little letters. If you're still one of those slippery little suckers that have been with us for a long time and haven't left a review, well, why you do us dirty like that!? Please hit subscribe, 5 stars, and share the love, because, well, we love love x Keep your questions rolling in for Ask Uncut and keep delivering those Accidentally Unfiltered's!

ASK UNCUT - A Matty J special
Happy Friday Lifers! This episode is a day behind because we recorded an entire episode without realising a microphone wasn’t plugged in. Yep, it finally happened. But to be fair it took 18 months and over 100 episodes before it happened so really we think we’ve done pretty darn well! Anyhow it’s here now so get it in your ears. We have special guest host Matty J recoding with Britt today answering all your deep and burning questions because, well, Laura basically has an arm hanging out of her and the birth of her next child is imminent so we’ve cut her some slack and put her on bed rest and we hope you can cut her some slack too! Besides, you get Matty! On the menu today; What do guys really mean when they say “It’s not you it’s just timing. The timing is wrong” do they really mean that or is that a lame ask excuse and a load of bulls*it? I’m 25 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend is not feeling comfortable being romantic with me in the bedroom. Aka, he doesn’t want any sexy time. This is making me feel pretty bad about myself. Should I let it and should I be worried? Is it just me? Or is this a normal thing for men to feel? Why do so many guys not reply on dating apps!? Why do they leave you on matched or just not respond when you write to them!? It’s really starting to get to me. My partner and I have been together for 6 years, we still love each other and we want to stay together but the spark is just gone. How do we bring it back and get some spice back into life? Matt- Why do some males just pound you during sex - literally pound town from start to end. Curious, does that actually feel good for you guys? We hope you love having Matty J on as much as we love having him visit! (From the lounge room to the studio haha ) Keep the questions coming in guys!

IVF, COMING OUT & BODY POSITIVITY - Uncut with Fiona Falkiner & Hayley Willis.
Happy Tuesday Lifers! We’ve done some big episodes of late regarding egg freezing, fertility and IVF, so we decided it was the perfect time to get someone in that can talk about it first hand. So this week we are chatting to Fiona Falkiner and her fiancé Hayley Willis! Australia first fell in love with Fiona when she graced our screens many moons ago as a contestant on the biggest loser. She then went in to host the show and to forge a very successful career as a model both locally and internationally. Fiona is now in her third trimester after undergoing IVF (but not before they had a few attempts at home on their own ;) ) Hayley is a very well respected sports journalist working in a male dominated industry. We chat all things life before they met, career highlights and lowlights, how body image has changed in the industry, the moment Fiona realised she in fact was more interested in women than men, navigating coming out to their friends, family and Australia, dating in the public eye and of course their fertility journey.

Inside sex cult NXIVM - UNCUT WITH India Oxenberg
This podcast episode discusses sexual assault, coercive control and living in a cult, This may be triggering to victim survivors. If you need help or someone to talk to, you can call 1800 RESPECT or visit respect.gov.au. “My name is India Oxenberg. I was in a cult for seven years. I didn't want to be saved," This is the harrowing opening line to Stan's four-part docuseries that explores the NXIVM cult. The cult started as a US-based self-improvement group, led by Keith Raniere, but in the end the group was exposed for the dark and disturbing cult that it was. For 20 years from 1998 and 2018, Raniere recruited thousands of people under the guise of personal development seminars and self improvement sessions even luring in several celebrities and socialites with the most prolific being Smallville star Allison Mack. Over a long period of time, NXIVM faced a multitude of accusations of systemic sexual abuse of female members by Raniere and members of his inner circle. India was a part of this cult, without knowledge that it was a cult, for 7 years. The last two of which she was a part of a secret sub group within the cult called DOS, which is a Latin phrase that translates to "Master over Slave Women," It was at this point India was expected to engage in sex acts with Keith Raniere, to act as a slave to Smallville star Allison Mack and to be a master to her own two slaves. It was also here that she was held down naked and branded with Keiths initials on her stomach without anaesthetic and while being filmed. We are so grateful to have India join us today to personally tell us her story. How she got involved with the group, what life was life inside, the perpetual yet slow grooming, the coercive control, the manipulation and brain washing, the things she was made to do, the collateral she was forced to put down to ensure her silence. She speaks candidly about when things turned sexual, her inhumane branding and eventually how she found her way out and her life after the cult.

What are the pros and cons? Obviously we don’t have penis’ so can’t speak from experience lol. But we come armed with plenty of facts and opinions. HELP! I can’t stop catching feelings! Every time I sleep with someone my feelings come rolling in! I feel like I’m setting myself up for disaster. (Spoiler - you probably are) Guys you know the drill!

CHEERS TO THE FUTURE - UNCUT with David the medium
Lifers! We are back! It is our first episode back for the year and we wanted to kick it off with something fun, different and a little weird! So we decided to chat with a very highly recommended psychic medium - aptly named David the Medium - and see what the future holds for us and well, basically if Brittany will ever find love. Lolz. As a medium David connects with people that have passed over to the other side, meaning he can deliver messages and communicate on our behalf with those that have passed. You’ll have to tune in to see if we had any luck connecting with and loved ones. He also predicts the sex of Laura’s baby and well, we can’t wait to see how that one plays out!! This chat is full of tears, laughter, predictions and inappropriate jokes, all in all it was an eye opening experience so strap on in. If you want to check out David on Instagram and book in a reading for yourself you can find him @davidthemedium Don’t forget to join our Facebook discussion group and follow us on Instagram @lifeuncutpodcast If you love listening to us you can hit 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, we love love x -- See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SO I DATED A SOCIOPATH - Walk down memory lane 2 - episode 3
Wandering down Memory lane day 2! Today on "Britt and Laura are taking a mini Christmas break but didn't want to leave you hanging so rehashed some of our older and favourite episodes" we are rolling alllll the way back to Season 1, episode 3. Back when we were brand new little podcast virgins and still working out what buttons did what, but we were determined to share stories and content that would in some way help and change peoples life, even if it was just one person. As this was one of the more popular episodes and was aired so long ago we thought it was time to re share it with all our new listeners! This episode is called "So I dated a sociopath" and it's an episode we often refer back to in our current episodes as it had such a huge impact on Britts life. It also had such an amazing response at the time from listeners saying it helped them through their own tough and toxic times and made them realise that; A) They are not alone and there is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of and B) That this is no way is a reflection on them and there is light at the end of the tunnel, It shaped Britt into who she is today and knowing it is shedding light on situations that aren't often spoken about makes sharing it all the more important. See you soon you big bunch of legends! Remember, If you loved the episode please hit subscribe, 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, we love love. x If you haven't joined our facebook group, well what on earth have you been doing!?

Walk down memory lane - With Girls Gotta Eat episode 13
Lifers take a walk with us down memory lane! This week while we are holidaying with our martinis (Brittany) and soda waters (Laura) we are rehashing some of our favourite episodes. The last episode we released before taking a wee Christmas break was episode 100, and we can't believe how far this little podcast has come over the past 18 months. Todays episode is freaking WILD and not for the faint of heart. We are taking you all the way back to episode 13 from February this year, where we interviewed the hilariously inappropriate comedy duo Ashley and Rayna from Girls Gotta Eat an American podcast that covers all the things we here at Life Uncut love. Girls Gotta Eat is a powerhouse in the USA and receives over 2.5 million monthly downloads. it's raunchy, it's wild and its a lolacoaster with a side of panalol. We hope you love the ride!

That's a wrap! See ya later 2020 you steaming pile of.....
Guyssss it’s our last episode of the year!! And what a crazy year it has been! Ok so what’s on the menu today. We certainly cover some ground! We take a look back on the year that was, reflect on our last years resolutions - did we achieve them? How do we feel about them? Of course we have accidentally unfiltered for you, but first we dissect a fb discussion question on whether it’s ok to ignore men who approach you to chat, or is that just plain rude. Do we owe them anything? Should we be polite if we feel uncomfortable? Do you owe it to a man to be nice? Britt has a very out of character run in with a man on her first and last night out for the year because #2020 is finishing the year a sly dog. We recognise that being alone at this time of year can be hard, but we want you to know you are never completely alone. There is always someone to talk to and someone that cares.. even if you jump on our fb group to join the chats with some likeminded and beautiful humans! We thought what better way to wrap up the last episode than with an Ask uncut regarding a girl who embarrasses herself at her work Christmas party. Fitting. We can’t THANKK YOU enough for all of you love and support this year. We ADORE each and every one of you. We read all your emails and messages and we are So grateful for the amazing community that has been created. We couldn’t and wouldn’t be able to do this without you. You’ve all supported and helped us so much and we can only hope you have felt supported and loved too. If it weren’t for you guys we never would have won the Listeners Choice at the Australian podcast awards, an award we are so chuffed with. We can’t wait for a bigger and better 2021. Until then, join the fun and join some healthy and usually hilarious conversation on the fb discussion group - Life Uncut Podcast. Have a safe and healthy Christmas and New Years and let’s roll in to the new year with good energy, great intentions and filled with love and optimism. Please, if you’ve gotten this far and you haven’t hit 5 stars or left a review yet, well you sly dog what are you waiting for. Please, share the love, because, well, we love love x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When their sex noises make you cringe - ASK UNCUT
Happy Tuesday lifers! We are doing another switcheroo this week and bringing you Ask uncut today, but we have good reason! You’ll have to listen to find out though. Some things just can’t be avoided! We have a great one for you with some very relatable questions and some good solid lols. But before we get into that, some jerk had the nerve to put a girls face through a “how pretty are you?” app before deciding if her would date her... then proceeded to give her her feedback before they had even met and WTF JERRY THERES A REASON YOU’RE SINGLE JERK OFF. As you can tell, we are not ok with this. Okies, into the episode; Firstly, what do you do if you can’t stand the noises your partner makes when he’s having sex!? Can you tell him? Do you just put up with it and hope for the best? What if your partner never told you he loved you. But showed you in other ways. Is that enough? This one related back to the good old love languages and we both have different ideas on it. Lastly, but definitely not least, we have one listener who’s bf keeps getting sent nudes in a group chat and she ain’t ok with it. How do you navigate that one!? We will be back with our big juicey episode on Thursday guys!

MY EX TRIED TO KILL ME - Talking coercive control with Dr Angela Jay
Lifers, today we have one of the most serious and most harrowing episodes we have ever done, but it is something we feel is so important to speak about. One in four will experience violence at the hands of an intimate partner and the most dangerous place for a women is in the house. This statistic unfortunately rang true for Dr Angela Jay when she was attacked in her own home by an ex partner. It was 2016 when Angela decided to download tinder and start dating again after ending things with her husband. That is where she met a funny, intelligent, tall dark and handsome man by the name of Paul Lambert. Things started off well, but went downhill rapidly, so Angela ended things. It wasn't long before he would try and kill her. Angela bravely talks us through what happened to her and discusses the signs she missed, life after the attack and where you can go for help if you are experiencing any form of domestic violence or if you need to exit a toxic relationship. If you haven't already join us on insta and our facebook discussion group @lifeuncutdiscussion Please, hit 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, we love love x If this conversation brings up any issues for you, or if you just feel like you need to speak to someone, please call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732).

TOXIC POSITIVITY - Take your good vibes and shove it
Hey Lifers! Yes it's Thursday but we are delivering you our big, juicy, meaty Tuesday episode today! (blame this weeks episode switcheroo on the fact we thought Laura was going in to labour - valid excuse 😂) but boy do we have a positively good one for you! After Laura's pregnancy scare we talk a bit about... well..... pregnancy and touch on the really wonderful news Dan Andrews recently shared around miscarriage and the solace this change in legislation will bring to grieving women and families. Britt is sharing her egg freezing journey with us all, then it's time for some accidentally unfiltered stories. On the menu today - TOXIC POSITIVITY! What is that you say? Well we are glad you asked! The phrase “toxic positivity” refers to the concept that keeping positive, happy and upbeat are the only feeling you should have and is the right way to live your life. It means only focusing on positive things and rejecting anything that may trigger negative emotions. We are currently seeing this everywhere in life. Sounds great right!? The fact is, when you deny or avoid unpleasant and negative emotions, you actually make them bigger . We unpack that and more so strap in folks.

SWITCHEROONIE! Thursday Therapy on a Tuesday - FEATURING MATTY J
Therapy Thursday is here!! Even though it’s only Tuesday! We very occasionally mix up our weeks programming when life throws us a curve ball annnnnd that’s exactly what happened. Laura’s needed a bit of R & R with this pregnancy, so Britt searched high and low for a special replacement but time was of the essence... sooooo we got Matt. Lolz. Naaa we love having Matt on to give his very wise male perspective on things! This week Britt and Matt chat about picking up in a bar, that is, how to do it and how to give the impression you’re open to it. One poor lass has already been through hell when her fiancé cheated and left her for her cousin (jerk) but now she’s expected to go to their wedding... sorry WHAT!? Talking about your exes on a first date. Is the first date etiquette!? Should it be avoided? Should you be offended if they choose not to talk about it? Christmas is just around the corner and we should be excited to be with loved ones! Unless of course your partner hasn’t invited you... is this as bad as it sounds or can couples do their own thing over the holidays?

Sabrina Frederick Uncut - Talking resilience, SAS Australia, same sex relationships and BLM
Today we have the absolute powerhouse that is Sabrina Frederick joining us and we are so excited to bring you this episode!! Sabrina is not only an elite athlete paving the way for women in AFL, but she is also keeping us glued to our screens as we watch the highly addictive yet controversial reality TV show that is SAS Australia. Sabrina describes herself with the simple yet powerful statement 'I’m a Black woman in a same sex relationship working in a male dominated sport" and we talk about all of that. We chat all things AFL, how Sabrina got into the sport, she tells us all about her fiance, how they met and who proposed to whom. Then the scene that divided the nation, the boxing match between Sabrina and Nick "honey badger' Cummins, we find out what really went down, along with some other SAS goss of course! Like who she would take into battle if she could only choose one person, and it may not be who you think! Sabrina opens up and talks about her experiences and her thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement and some of the issues she faced growing up. All in all this was such a beautiful conversation and we can all learn a lot from the inspiration that is Sabrina Frederick. You can follow Sabrina @sabzizzle If you loved the episode you know the drill! Leave a review and share the love, because, well, we love love x ps.

It's that time of the week guys! Where you hit us with your deepest and most troubling problems and we give you our deepest and sometimes troubling answers. JOKES our answers are always very heartfelt, considered and come from a place of love and experience. Today we have an international student whose boyfriend just pulled the pin on their partnership visa, meaning she wouldn't easily be able to stay, but he still wants to be with her. Is this cool? Should she stay? Should she give up? Should she go and marry someone else for a visa!? (Of course not don't be silly that is very illegal) Then a relatively simple yet wildly common question, "How soon is too soon to move on? Should you get under someone to get over someone?" (if the man in question has a last name Hemsworth than yes, the answer is always yes, get under) Then we have a woman that found something in her husband's email that you never want to see. When and how can she confront him, especially when she was searching through his email to start with! We absolutely LOVE ask uncut so please keep your questions rolling in!

Happy LIFE UNCUT DAY lifers! We hope your week is off to a flying start! We’ve got a big ep coming up today. We have our sister bachelorettes Elly and Beckie on and ask them the hard questions.

Then we hear about Beckie’s heartbreak, how this devastating breakup was delivered (spoiler- it’s not cool) and where it all went wrong. But before that, we chat call-out culture.

WE WERE ON A BREAK! Is it a soft fade or can you salvage it?
In the words of Ross and Rachel, WE WERE ON A BREAK! Lifers, there’s going to come a time in most of our lives where we feel unsettled, uncomfortable, suffocated, anxious and maybe just a little confused in our relationship. Maybe you just need to figure some shit out on your own for a hot second, maybe it’s trying to forgive an infidelity, deciding if you want kids or maybe it’s more lifestyle based like wanting to focus on a career change! Either way you need to figure it out alone. But here’s the thing, you still love your partner and don’t want it to end! It’s tricky territory... but sounds like you guys need a break!! We tend to shudder when we hear the words ‘break’ but it’s not necessarily the worst thing and definitely isn’t the end of the world like we are made to believe! There are some things you can do to make it go more smoothly though and to bring you back bigger, better, stronger and more in love than ever. And we’re going to tell you. Thanks to todays sponsor @bumble_australia we are also bringing you some great conversation starters and opening lines... Britt and Laura both share their (slightly weird) opener and we want to know who’s you think is better (let’s be real, it’s ‘the best of a bad bunch’ kinda vibe) If you want to take Bumbles quick online quiz to see your dating style you can do so here https://thebeehive.bumble.com/conversation-starters-generator/ If you listen every week but haven’t actually hit that subscribe button yet or left a review...

Society... SCREW YOUR TIMELINE!
"Your age doesn’t determine if you can be successful, and your bank account doesn’t determine if you are happy." Today we are talking timeline pressures, career changes and running your own race! But before we do that we have some hella cute Bumble success stories! Have you noticed we are all in hurry to get there, wherever that may be! In a hurry to grow up, graduate, become successful, in a hurry to get things done. We get upset when things don’t go our way, when results are not achieved instantly. It’s one big race and we are petrified of being left behind. Timelines have consciously or subconsciously been ingrained in our minds from the beginning. Whether it was uni graduation by 21, owning property before 30, getting married and having kids by 35 or retirement by 60. It seems there is always something that should have been done by a certain age or time. Maybe somewhere along the way you've wanted to change your career path but the thought of change and failure is too much, so you just don't. But then, society has this funny way of making us feel that if we don’t accomplish these deadlines, we are failing. We start existing in this vicious cycle of feeling unaccomplished, unsuccessful and a little lost. We start questioning why we aren’t where we were 'meant' to be. We start comparing our timelines to others timelines. Well, we are here to tell you that your journey is YOURS and hot damn you can run that race any way you see fit! Thanks to todays sponsor @bumble_australia , where women are empowered to take control of their dating life and make the first move.

SEEING GREEN - The Jealous type
It’s Tuesday lifers! And we are taking a walk with the green eyed monster. But first we are unpacking you most hilarious Bumble online dating stories thanks to todays sponsor - you guessed it Bumble! Chances are, unless you’re a a beautiful, unique, mythical unicorn mermaid, you’ve experienced jealousy at some stage of your life, especially in romantic relationships. Maybe for reasons that are warranted or maybe it comes from a place of deep insecurity, either way we are going to get to the bottom of it because it is not conducive to a healthy relationship. There is one kind of jealousy that we are really going to deep dive into, and that is retrospective or retroactive jealousy, which is when one experiences painful thoughts and an intense overwhelming and all consuming curiosity and obsession with their partners past relationships and sexual history. And let us tell you, it’s real and never ends well. Thank you to today’s sponsor, Bumble. The dating app where women make the first move. An app that empowers users to connect with confidence whether dating, networking, or meeting friends online.

Ebonie Sanderson, a local bondi woman has come forward detailing the horrific abuse she received online from a man named Tom McGuirk. What we all first thought was just a tirade of abusive messages and voicemails simply because she declined to spend the night with him, turned in much more, with women from all over coming forward to detail their abuse at the hands of Tom McGuirk. From abusive messages, to voicemails, multiple fake accounts in order to troll, to blackmail and threats of stalking. We wanted to get Ebony on to talk us through her experience , why she felt compelled to go public and to have a wider conversation about consent. This is an important conversation guys so please share with your friends!

Dating a Narcissist
Narcissism. The word gives you the shivers right!? Its a term that often gets thrown around, we hear people speak about it a lot, but it can be really hard to pinpoint if you're actually dating one. The official definition of a narcissist, according to the Mayo Clinic, is a person who often lacks empathy, acts entitled, arrogant, and prioritizes themselves above all else. We want to deep dive into some narcissistic tendencies, red flags to look out for like love bombing, and what to do if you find yourself in an unhealthy relationship with someone with narcissistic tendencies. It’s important to remember that we are not clinical psychologists, but we are two women who have both had intense relationships with people that fit this mould and we want to shed some light on it in the hopes that it can help others. We talk about our own experiences and share learned information. If you want to keep us in your ears, please hit 5 starts, leave a review, tell your friends and share the love, because, well, we love love.

58. PINK TAX - The cost of being a woman
Lifers, we were a little slow off the ranks today, but boy do we have a biggy for you! First up on todays episode we are talking about that Adele photo that is causing a stir, then we dive into a little bit of Bach Chat, followed by our favourite Accidentally Unfiltered stories for the week.... and then for the main course we have something a little different for you today. We are getting serious and talking about Pink Tax, and the hidden costs of being female. So what is pink tax? Glad you asked! It’s gender based price discrimination. Basically women are still paying more for certain items than men are, even if the items are identical, effectively shelling out a 'pink tax' simply for being female. Is it not bad enough that women on average are still earning less than our male counterparts!? Even though they often can’t even multitask!? (Ok that part is not fact per se but a it’s strong opinion) But now it costs us more to shop too!? HOW IS THIS HAPPENING! It’s time we all know about this and become smarter consumers. If you also didn’t know about this topic, or think that maybe a friend didn’t know about this, or just liked the episode, share the love, because, well, we love love x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Talking Body dysmorphic disorder and social media
Hey Lifers happy Tuesday! You’ll never believe who Britt ran into this week and what Laura Learnt that really blew her mind. Then we chat all things BDD. That’s Body dysmorphic disorder. BDD is a mental health disorder in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance. These ‘defects or flaws’ usually appear small, are minor, are often non existent and aren’t noticed by others. But you may feel so embarrassed, ashamed and anxious that it impacts your life. You avoid mirrors, constantly compare yourself, feel depressed or anxious, dislike what you see and you may avoid social situations all together. It can affect so many aspects of our life. We delve into BDD and chat about how we feel media today perpetuates the idea that success equals beauty and in turn contributes to the rise of disorders like BDD.

How to survive a break up (without burning your ex's house down)
Todays episode is a break up bible to help soothe the fractured heart. Break ups suck, that's a fact. We all go through them, but that doesn't make the hurt any less raw or real and the truth is every single relationship you have before you find “your penguin” will inevitably end in a breakup, it's all part of the journey to your final love destination. Whether you are the dumper or dumpee, it's going to bloody hurt and there are going to be some rough times ahead. It's not just the loss that hurts, it’s the fear and insecurity that comes with being out on your own again. In the wild. Alone. The feeling of losing your identity and having to figure out who you are again without someone by your side! That can be some scary shit guys, but it can also be eye-opening, liberating and fun! We are here to help you get through your breakup, give you some ideas to help you move forward, which we promise you will, and get to that stage of contentment.

What's all the fuss about Only Fans
Hey fam! Boy do we have an interesting one for you! Only fans. The controversial subscription based website where users can post whatever their heart desires for a fee that they see fit. There is no limit! Content can range from a cooking demonstration to proper full blown, in your face pornography. And people are making absolute bank! $$$ But is it a slippery slope? Australian social media stars seem to be leading the way so we thought it was about time we unpack this new trend that is revolutionising the sex worker industry. We chat pros and cons and decide how we really feel about it. Would you do it?! Oh, how could we forget, there’s also the girl that had a one night stand then had to stick something up the guys butt a week later - and not by choice 😉 If you love listening to the two of us unpack life please hit subscribe, 5 stars and share the love, because, well, we love love x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's your SITUATIONSHIP?
Happy Tuesday lovers! If it wasn’t for the podcast right now we would have no idea what day it is! We need to address that the OG Bachelor Australia winners Tim and Anna are having a baby and I'M NOT CRYING.... YOU'RE CRYING!!!! Today’s food for thought; Situationships. A situationship is like relationship no-mans land. You don’t know what you are, you don’t know what they want, heck, maybe you don’t even know what you want! Sometimes an undefined relationship is exactly what you need. It’s fun, sexually satisfying and liberating, but more often than not, something’s gotta give, and someone is gonna catch dem feelings. After that, it usually goes down hill rapidly. We deep dive into all aspects of situationships, after we’ve caught up on the goss of course ;) It is thanks to today's sponsor, Marzena natural waxing strips that we are able to bring this to your ears.
