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.

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, Bridget Hustwaite, 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.  If you loved the episode please hit subscribe, 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, be love love xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. In this ep is some great information about how to actively help someone experiencing family violence and organisations that can help.If you haven't already join us on insta and our facebook discussion group @lifeuncutpodcastPlease, hit 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, we love love xIf 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).

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!And please, tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your friends and share the love, because, well, we love love xfollow us @lifeuncutpodcast on instagramSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?

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.

Believe it or not we’ve only had a 5 week break and in that time Laura pushed out a baby, Britt fell in love and everything is right in the world!!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. We are so happy to be back and have a big year ahead planned and we can’t wait to take you all along with us!You know the drill, if you’re still one of the scallywags that have been listening forever but haven’t subscribed, hit 5 stars or left a review, where you at!?

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 Laura's 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! SEE YOU SOON LOVERS WE MISS YOU ALREADY xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!

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.
