The girls talk about friendship-dating before jumping into your deep, burning questions.Today we look at:-My housemate has been sleeping with a married guy for 2 years. She is convinced he will leave his wife for her. I can't handle it any more.-I've been with my partner for 5 years and we aren't really in love any more. I've kind of just ended up here.

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.You can find everything about Hugh here: https://theresilienceproject.com.au/about/Content warning: This episode touches on suicide, If this could be triggering for you in any way this episode may not be for you, xIf you love the episode, please let us know by leaving us a review.

THIS IS IT! Our last Bach Uncut episode, we couldn't wrap the season until we sat down with Brooke to talk about her experience, her heartbreak and how she is doing now that filming has wrapped. Brooke shares how often her and Jimmy were in contact when she left the mansion, why she was convicted it was going to be her and how she is coping with life and heartbreak after the Bachelor.

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.A big thank you to Starbucks At Home for making this episode possible and keeping us all caffeinated during lockdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 !See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last night we said goodbye to Chess girl, our business class babe and Matty J's pick for the season Jay!Jay debunks all the rumours from the season, how she felt about being thrown under the bus by Steph and the truth behind her past relationship with New Zealand's Bachelor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!Share the love because WE LOVE LOVVVVE xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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-nationThe issues discussed in today's episode are heartbreaking and raw, but they are conversations that we think every Australian needs to have.

Thursday night was hometown and we said goodbye to the divine Carlie and her spectacular teeth!On today's bonus episode Matt and Laura are sitting down to get the goss and are asking all the hard hitting questions...How did Carlie feel after hometowns, was she in love with the Kinky Captain and WHO IS HER DENTIST?!We hope you enjoy this tasty little snack!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

YOOOOOHOOOO we have a little surprise today for all you Lifers that have been following along with Bach Uncut and the kinky captains search for love!Today we are interviewing Lily who sadly went home on Wednesday nights episode.Lily is giving us the download on Brooke's return, that steamy beach date and what she's up to now that her Bach journey has come to an end.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 !????See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!If you liked the episode, please take a minute to leave us a review!

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. In 2013, Em was on a trip abroad that should have been a fun, European trip of a lifetime when she had a skydiving accident in Switzerland that changed the course of her life. 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!She can be found here on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/em_carey/?hl=enHer website can be found here: https://www.emcarey.com/If you loved the episode, share it with someone who might need a bit of a 'pick-me-up' right now!Hit 5 stars and subscribe and share the love because we love love!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

You asked for it and we provided - On this tasty little snack of an episode we are sitting down for a chat with the unofficial Queen of Bachie 2021 Sierah.Sierah has brought us so many laughs over the past 4 weeks and we were so sad to see her leave the Bachie Mansion last week we needed a little bit more of the tall Phoenix.This is part one of our Friday Bach Uncut eps, check out PART 2 for Matty and Laura's recap of episode 10, 11 and 12!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your free Therapy Thursday session, where we answer your deep dark and burning questions except today, producer Keeshia is stepping up to the mic and doing her best to give you her equally unqualified advice! - I got out of a serious relationship 12 months ago. We had great chemistry and even better sex. I've found that since we broke up, sex just doesn't compare with anyone else or I am comparing it to my last partner. So I am finding sex isn't as enjoyable and I don't feel a spark. Help! -I’ve been in a ‘friends-with-benefits’ situationship for 10 years and I think he is my soulmate. I’m scared I could lose everything but I want us to be in a proper relationship. -I live with my friend and we aren’t living well together! We just aren’t compatible. How do I get her to move out without losing our friendship? Lifers keep those questions rolling in! Slide on in to the DM's @lifeuncutpodcast and then sit back and enjoy the therapy session.Remember, tell you mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friends and share the love, because, well, we love love xSee 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. xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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...

It's Therapy Thursday and in today’s session we are answering your deep, dark and burning questions:My boyfriend broke up with me because I told (please keep up) his ex’s partner that she was trying to cheat on him. Who’s in the wrong here?How much should be shared with your partner?

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!

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy WEDNESDAY Lifers and girl oh girl do we have the bonus ep for you!Today we jumping into some conversations about period sex, vulvas and labiaplasty!We kick things off with Laura & Britt discussing the ins and outs of whether you get down and dirty during ‘that time of the month.’ *Not a spoiler, we’re all about it and science backs us up!We then chat with the beautiful Ellie from comfortable in my skin about her journey with her vulva. We talk: Innies & outies What's ‘normal’? Why labiaplasty is one of the fastest growing surgeries in the world & How the one you've got is clit-erally the best! We really hope you enjoy this ep and feel a sense of gratitude for you best mate ‘downstairs’ after listening to it. We’re really passionate about normalising conversations about things that are important to women; of which periods and pleasure definitely are!Big thank you to today’s wonderful sponsor Bonds Bloody Comfy Undies.

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!

It turns out Laura and Matt's prediction was right and Jimmy currently has a 100% kissing strike rate.... Is he the horniest Bachelor to date?This week we saw two delightful single dates with Ash and Holly, a group date that was akin to a kids activity 'make your own superhero' and a group maze date where the winner got to ring Jimmy's meat bell.Finally the drama has kicked off in the Bach mansion and we have ourselves this seasons villain - Steph, who dropped a few C-bombs and suffered amnesia.If you love our Bach recaps, subscribe and leave a review...

It’s the show where Laura and Matty met, so it’s no surprise they are utterly obsessed with the Bachelor and want to follow this year’s leading man in his quest to find everlasting love.

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.If you are interested in hearing India's full harrowing story please listen to Part 2.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.You can follow India @indiaoxenbergFollow us @lifeuncutpodcast @brittany_hockley @ladyandacatIf you're one of our scallywags that loves the podcast but hasn't left 5 stars or a review yet, well, we wont hold it against you but also, like, why you do us dirty.Please, subscribe and tell your friends, tell your mum, your cousin and your dog and share the love, because, well, we love love. xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.
