Mamamia Out Loud

It's the inauguration conversation Out Louders have been waiting for. Mia, Holly and Jessie dissect the highs and lows of a week in Washington the world won't soon forget.  Plus, Amelia Lester joins us on the phone from Washington DC. Her husband works in congress, she details what it was like not knowing if he was safe during the recent riots, and tells us what the mood has been like since.  And, Best and Worst is back. Jessie has exciting book news, Mia is worried about her neck, and Holly's excited for her dad. THE END BITS Recommendations: Mia is obssessed with sunscreen right now (and always.) She thinks you should try Hamilton's Everyday Face, La Roche Posay's Anthelios invisible fluid and the whole Sun Sense range. You can see Samui Carter's hats and visors here.  Follow us on Instagram @MamamiaOutLoud CREDITSHosts: Holly Wainwright, Mia Freedman, and Jessie Stephens  Producer: Emma Gillespie CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386Via our email at [email protected]  Via our Outlouders Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/Mamamia Out Loud is a podcast by Mamamia https://www.mamamia.com.au/author/mamamiaoutloud/ Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

The Australian Open lockdown saga is continuing, but it's a player's partner who's making headlines this week. Vanessa Sierra is the 26-year-old girlfriend, and now coach, of tennis bad boy, Bernard Tomic. The pair are in quarantine and Vanessa Sierra has given an insight into what life in hotel quarantine is really like and the people? The people are NOT pleased with her.  Plus, having kids only affects your work life in the baby stages, right? Well, no. When radio host Jane Kennedy stepped down from her job this week saying her teen and adult kids needed her around more, it got a lot of people asking, when do kids need you the most? And, Revenge Bedtime Procrastination, what is it? And are you doing it? We bet you are.  THE END BITS Recommendations: Holly wants you to read Hamnet, by Maggie O'Farrell.

We're back! And a lot has happened since we last spoke.  America gets a new president this week, so Holly is taking us through the current climate in Washington and across the U.S. Trump has been taken off Twitter, so what's next? Plus, we're kicking off the New Year with a Please Explain: WTF is going on with Armie Hammer? You might have seen that a Hollywood actor is being accused of… cannibalism. Jessie tells us what we know so far, and why it's a lot more sinister than some creepy DMs. And, the things we were obsessed with over the break, from a Netflix smash hit to a fake Spanish accent.  THE END BITS Recommendations: Jessie wants you to watch Bump, now streaming on Stan.

It’s the first day of 2021 and that means it's time for our Word Of The Year episode! New Year's resolutions are notorious for falling over, so instead, every year we choose a word to set an intention for the year ahead of us. There's no pass or fail, word of the year is about creating a focus or filter for the months, decisions and moments to come.  Holly, Jessie and Mia look back at their words from last year before taking us through the new word to shape the mood of the 365 days to come.  Listen to find out and share your word of the year in our Outlouders Facebook Group or on Instagram, @mamamiaoutloud END BITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens Producer: Emma Gillespie Join the Out Louders Facebook group...https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/ GET IN TOUCH Call the PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 or send a voice memo to [email protected]   Mamamia Out Loud is a podcast by Mamamia.

Jessie is back with one of her famous recaps to take Mia, Holly, and the rest of us through the strange, scary, and surreal that was 2020. From fires and a global pandemic at the start, to an election and new hope towards the end, we've laughed together and cried (lots) together.

An elegance coach has revealed the five things that make you unattractive to ‘high quality men’ for us to all have a laugh at.

A column appeared in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week suggesting Dr. Jill Biden should drop her ‘honorific,’ the ‘doctor’ part of her title…It was sexist and stupid but is there a grain of truth in the broader message? Or is it a classic case of tall poppy syndrome?  Plus, UK beauty icon Caroline Hirons had a relatively common “journey” to her ADHD diagnosis. Meaning, she didn’t get one until one of her kids was diagnosed with it. But some of the characteristics she outlined on a recent No Filter ep had many of us thinking..."Wait, that's me!" And, Em has admitted to ghosting a friend after they got into a relationship, while Mia reflects on what it's like to be on the other side, after being ghosted by a friend this year. Is it better to know why? Would you rather be cut off, or is a 'soft' ghosting the kind way to let someone down easy?  THE END BITS Recommendations: Mia is obsessed with Taylor Swift's new album, Evermore.

Holly explains Kim K's push over the weekend to save a man from death row. The reality juggernaut turned criminal justice activist counted down with her 68 million Twitter followers as Brandon Bernard's chance at clemency dwindled. Plus, do you talk to strangers? Apparently, Gen Z never does and some people say that’s the reason anxiety/mental health issues are so high in younger people. And, the beer and puppy test: A fail-safe way to work out if you trust someone with two simple questions THE END BITS Recommendations: Leigh thinks you should try the Davroe Split Ends Therapy Balm.

We're dropping into your feed to share an awesome episode of our new podcast, What I Eat When, with you: https://omny.fm/shows/what-i-eat-when/playlists/what-i-eat-when  What do you eat when... you're alone? You're homesick? You're celebrating? What you eat when says a lot about you, about your culture, your taste, your family, and what matters to you. Food is so much more than just fuel, it’s an excuse to express who we are and what connects us. What I Eat When is a Mamamia podcast that’s all about meals, moments, and memories. And on our first episode host Silvia Colloca is joined by self-confessed 'Crap Housewife' Jessica Rowe.  So what does Jess eat when she's on holiday? Or when she's pregnant? And why does she match her hats with the dinner she's making?  Although she doesn't like cooking, as she explains to Silvia, she still likes eating. And food holds a lot of memories for her. As you're about to find out...

An article on GOOP has turned the idea of 'not being busy' into a badge of honour. But is it an enormous privilege to not be busy? Is busyness really a choice and are some people just busy as a personality trait? Parents, in particular, have no choice about busyness. Plus, our resident Dating Expert Em Vernem shares a Cosmo list with us, about 'how to tell if someone likes you'. The list is made up of different dating habits, plenty which made us roll our eyes, but a few were interesting. And, our best and worst of the week, including a shout out to teachers everywhere and a nasty note on Jessie's car.

Vagina sunning has become a thing, after a Brazilian model caused a stir on social media, for suggesting you should engage in a practice that would involve exposing your...erm...bits...to some vitamin D. If this sounds familiar it’s because just last year butthole sunning, which is the official term, became a fixture of wellness culture. Influencers claimed that exposing your butt can greatly improve energy levels and sleep patterns. Plus, the evolution of Holiday Nicole - If you don’t know what or who that is, ask yourself, who has organised your festive get-together this year?  And, do we feel sorry for Prince Charles?

Jennifer Lopez has upset a lot of people...by saying she doesn’t get botox because she’s ‘not that kind of person.’ It’s off the back of news the 51 year old is launching her own skincare line. Holly asks the question, how much honesty do famous women owe us about their faces?  Plus, Jessie’s had a preview of what might be around the corner for us at family Christmas this year, after she got into a disagreement with her cousin over the 'existence' of Covid-19.

What if, instead of calling people out, we called them IN? A professor in the U.S is working with young people to re-structure the cancel culture narrative and encourage more open discussion. "Calling in is like calling out, but done privately and with respect." Mia and the team discuss. Plus, Jessie goes rogue and talks about rats, you've been warned. And, our best and worst of the week, including a powerful message from Holly after four women were killed across the country over the last seven days.

Holly puts on her foreign correspondent hat to help us make sense of what's going on between the Australian and Chinese governments right now.  Plus, Dominic West and the men whose taxi light is always on: We’re told to look for a partner with a light that shines brightly. But for some, their taxi light is always bright. Jessie tells us about the people who are always acting like they're single, even when they're in a relationship, the ones constantly wondering "Is this as good as it gets?" and "Is the grass greener somewhere else?"

The sexual assault trial against former rugby league star Jarryd Hayne and the rape trial against Jack De Belin are back in the spotlight as their court cases continue. While their guilt is for a judge to decide, there are some undisputed details emerging from these cases that are worth a closer look. Off the back of a powerful article by Jessie, the Outlouders discuss the porn pandemic and where it goes wrong for these men and so many sports stars like them. Plus, we’re talking about The Crown again. But this time, not about royalty. This season of the show features a woman almost as famous as Princess Diana but much less adored - Margaret Thatcher.  And, are women over forty making mistakes with make-up? A Mamamia piece that went viral over the weekend says yes.  THE END BITS Recommendations: Be an influencer in your own home with a ring light Mia is recommending for Christmas Zoom calls.

Meghan Markle spoke out this week about miscarriages, and the importance of asking each other if we're ok. Meghan's decision to open up about this kind of loss, and the criticism that followed, prompted Mia to share a deeply personal and raw account of life after her own miscarriage, the day after her wedding, more than two decades ago. Plus, Run the Dishwasher Twice: One woman is calling out the invisible rules we set for ourselves, to encourage us all towards a little more self-kindness.

Scott Morrison has switched up his Instagram game lately, so is he really the 'daggy dad' his social media suggests, or is it a carefully thought out strategy from his team, taking a page out of the Jacinda Ardern book? Plus, Candice Warner, Bec Judd and media witch hunts: Mia did an interview this week with a woman who’s been publicly shamed en masse on social media not once, but twice.

It’s been a week for arguments about who gets to play who on stage and on screen in 2020. A Sydney production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch has been postponed after actor Hugh Sheridan was cast as the title character, while Sia has faced backlash after posting the trailer for her first feature film, Music, starring Maddie Ziegler as a young girl who has non-verbal autism. Plus, the theme of motherhood is the main focus of episode four of the new season of The Crown and in particular, the idea of having a favourite child. Margaret Thatcher reveals to the Queen her ‘favourite’ child, her son, is missing. The Queen is taken aback by the concept, and we then hear her reaction in this discussion with Phillip - who argues any honest parent does have a favourite. So what does it mean to have a favourite or be the favourite and does every parent really have a preference? And, over the weekend, two Sydney hospitality owners lashed out at “whinging, self entitled, young workers,” calling a work-life-balance “one of the most dangerous terms young people have been introduced to.” THE END BITS Recommendations: Read the New Yorker article about The Bridge dog here.  Follow us on Instagram @MamamiaOutLoud  CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens.

If you’re watching The Crown, you may be at peak Princess Diana obsession right now. But it’s another Diana TV show that’s become the focus of a formal investigation by the BBC, 25 years after it aired. Holly explains what's happening, why it's happening now and what it all means.

You might have noticed Pete Evans has been back in the headlines this week, after he posted a Nazi symbol on his social media. Mia explains why we're lifting our Pete ban to talk about his latest controversy.  Plus, the 8 hour workday was a concept thought up by one man 100 years ago, so why have we barely questioned it since? A burnout coach has gone viral on TikTok for highlighting the origins of the 8 hour working day, suggesting the framework is tragically outdated.

Relationships in the workplace and Hugh Marks: Is it ever ok to date your boss? Over the weekend a high-profile media executive resigned suddenly after his relationship with one of his direct reports was exposed. If there’s no policy in your contract, Holly wants to know if there's anything wrong with dating your boss? Or your boss asking you out?

This week, the NSW Premier came out in support of a push to change the lyrics of Advance Australia Fair, from "for we are young and free" to "for we are ONE and free." As NAIDOC week draws to a close, how do First Nations people feel about the issue and how can we take steps forward towards reconciliation? Plus, an elegance coach has released a video about all the ways in which we’re exhibiting poor etiquette when eating out. Her main rules include never fixing makeup at the table or blowing our nose in public. Jessie explains how we're all doing it wrong.

Monday night’s Four Corners episode discussed the culture for women in Australian politics with investigations into the conduct of two senior Liberal politicians. Holly asks the question, does it matter if our leaders are good people? Or do they just need to do their jobs and deliver for the people of Australia? Plus, Jessie goes rogue and decides to talk about the breakdown of the marriage between Phil Collins and Orianne Cevey. Cevey says that while they were together, Phil Collins refused to shower for almost an entire year, didn’t brush his teeth for several months, was impotent, drank heavily and took prescription pills...leading to a discussion about privacy and post-break-up ethics.  And, a 2014 memo from Joe Biden to his staff has resurfaced. It details how the now-President-Elect urged his staff to prioritise family events over work. But is that a realistic standard to set in 2020?

Do you need to debrief about the US Election? Unpack Joe Biden's speech? Praise Kamala Harris? Ask what the heck is going to happen to the Trump family now?

Joe Biden has (finally) secured enough votes in the U.S election to be declared the winner, making Kamala Harris Vice President Elect. As celebrations around Biden's win continue, it's his running mate everyone is talking about. Kamala Harris is the first woman elected Vice President, she's also the first black VP and someone we're tipped to spend the next four years being obsessed with. Plus, Yesterday was Remembrance Sunday in Britain, when the royal family leads the country in tributes to troops from World War One, Two and more recent conflicts. Reports have emerged that Harry wanted a wreath laid in his honour at the event, but the Queen said NO. Holly asks the question, are Harry and Meghan still relevant?  And, a listener dilemma from a concerned sister many of us can relate to, about breaking the cycle of a toxic, on-again-off-again relationship.

Holly, Mia and Jessie answer some of your U.S election questions, to arm you with the knowledge you need to chat about it with friends this weekend. Mia explains the psychology around what happens when a narcissistic personality, like Trump, loses. Plus, The Apology Sandwich. A lot of us are doing it without even noticing, the apology sandwich refers to minimising our own hardships in a world where we know plenty of people have it a lot worse. But does that invalidate the things we're upset about missing out on?

Mia, Holly and Jessie meet for a late afternoon debrief about the U.S election to chat what we know so far and, rather, what we know we don't know.

THIS IS A US ELECTION-FREE ZONE. On today's show, in case you missed it, everyone is sharing sex toys on Instagram and Jessie's mum feels weird about seeing it before breakfast. Have we become sex obsessed or is progress marching ahead for the better? A lot of sex toy brands are spending money on influencer marketing right now, using celebs like Abbie Chatfield to talk candidly about female pleasure. Plus, there’s a lot we can't control today, but something we all find soothing is categorising ourselves into the generalised boxes of personality tests. Extrovert and introvert,  Love languages, Star signs, we find comfort in knowing there are other people who think like us. We took the Four Temperaments test which argues all of us fit into one of only four boxes...but should we, or the people who know us best be the ones answering for us? And, the recommendations to distract you on election day.  THE END BITS Mia wants to watch The Split.

Post Lockdown Anxiety has seen a rise in 'Fear Of Going Out' or FOGO. There's plenty of excitement around the lockdown bubble bursting, but what about the anxiety we can feel when we walk away from the safety net of staying home? Aussies have endured months of FOMO this year, but now that many of us can venture out again, are we too scared to? Plus, what's happening in Poland? Thousands of protestors have taken to the streets in Warsaw, in the middle of a pandemic, for the right to a safe and legal abortion. And, we need to talk about Jessie's house. An article was published on the Mamamia website on Friday, giving us a peak inside Jessie's home. A TV in the bedroom has caused a stir, and Mia and Holly have a few questions about her rent, working from home with her partner and 'the rule of three.'

This week, the internet tutted and muttered about megstar Adele’s so-called 'body reveal' when she hosted Saturday Night Live. But Holly doesn't want to talk about that, she wants to talk about a new wave of female artists, including Billie Eilish, who are removing their bodies from the pop culture narrative altogether.   Plus, what if, instead of a romantic relationship being seen as the pinnacle of happiness, we gave more consideration to our most important relationship being friendship?

There’s a rumour about Melania Trump that's gaining international attention. It started with the theory there's been a "fake" Melania standing in for the First Lady at official events. Now, the internet is abuzz with the theory there are TWO fake Melanias. From their posture, to their height and bone structure, something isn't right. And, Jessie explains a story involving thirteen Australian women, who were forced to have an invasive medical exam at Doha Airport, after a newborn baby was found abandoned in a bathroom at the terminal.  Plus, the team share their insights in a Group Therapy session, after an anonymous Outlouder reached out, caught between her friendship circle and her sister.  THE END BITS Mia wants you to try Fluid Form Pilates & Jessie wants you to follow us on Instagram @MamamiaOutLoud CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Clare Stephens Producer: Emma Gillespie CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 Via our email at [email protected]   Via our Outlouders Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/ Mamamia Out Loud is a podcast by Mamamia https://www.mamamia.com.au/author/mamamiaoutloud/    Become a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mia explains why audiences can't look away and takes us through the drama between Roxy Jacenko & Candice Warner, tells us what's going on with Schapelle Corby, and why the Honey Badger is making women uncomfortable. Plus, "micro-weddings" have seen a huge boost in 2020 for obvious reasons as more and more couples opt for small ceremonies with just a few guests at home or even online.  So is the mini-mony here to stay?

What makes you ‘rich’ in Australia in 2020? The Prime Minister started a bit of a ding-dong this week when he suggested that someone earning $180k was not ‘rich’, and plenty of commentators weighed in. Since no-one can agree on a number, we’ve come up with a different way to tell if you are, in fact, rich.  Plus, why aren’t we talking about estrangement in families?

Jessie saw a headline this week that read 'I’m a Beauty Editor, and these are the products I’d never splurge on'. She immediately clicked on it and then realised she has a beauty expert on-hand - Mamamia’s resident beauty expert Leigh Campbell. She comes on Out Loud to take us through the must-have skincare and beauty products and what we can live without. And trust us, you’ll need a pen.  Plus, it’s been two years since Jessie, Mia and Holly had one of their most emotional throw-downs ever.

The news about Trump and the first lady contracting COVID rocked the world last week and now, apparently, Trump has recovered at unparalleled speed. And, The Good, The Bad and The Budget: Jessie takes us through some of the winners and losers of the federal budget and explains why women, especially older women, are missing out.  Plus, group texts have become a lifeline for women during the pandemic.

Deborra-Lee Furness is sick of people saying she’s ‘lucky’ to be married to Hugh Jackman. This week, the Aussie actor and producer chatted with Anh Do for the ABC's Brush With Fame, and shared the one thing that frustrates her most when she's asked about her marriage.  And, Cuties is an award-winning French film about a young girl caught between a dance-crew of girls from her school and growing up in a traditional Muslim family. When Netflix bought the rights to the movie this year, it sparked a mass movement to #CancelNetflix. We take a closer look at the controversy surrounding the film. Plus, it's time for Best and Worst.

It’s been a big week in the U.S...A bombshell report on Trump's tax return got a lot of people talking. Then today, the world watched on as Donald Trump and Joe Biden battled through the first presidential debate of the 2020 US election. It was combative, there was a LOT of shouting and Mia is not OK. We chat with Amelia Lester, an Aussie journalist living in Washington, to get her reaction to the whole thing. Plus, anyone else feel like they're dropping every ball in their life at the moment? Jessie explains why it feels like the stakes are so high in 2020 and why none of us feel like we've got our shit together. And, why are we all paranoid that our friends are mad at us? Kee chats through the extra (sometimes imagined) tension between friends when we can't see them and why the pandemic is making things even harder...  THE END BITS Mia wants you to watch I am Woman on Stan as we celebrate the life of Helen Reddy, plus she's got a great new moisturiser.
