Mamamia Out Loud

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has gone viral on TikTok for highlighting the origins of the 8 hour working day, suggesting the framework is tragically outdated. And, a group therapy about how to deal with a toxic comment in public.   THE END BITS Recommendations: Holly wants you to read An Unusual Boy by Fiona Higgins.

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? Plus, Angie Kent appeared on the cover of a magazine yesterday, alongside a headline detailing how much the former bachelorette might spend to 'look' a certain way. Can women ever win when it comes to talking about (or not talking about) what they put in their face?  And, You've heard about love languages, so what about apology languages? Whether it's with friends, at work or at home, Jessie tells us about the importance of understanding how we prefer to communicate "sorry".

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. And, our best & worst of the week, including Emily getting 'soundboarded' on a date - where one person fills the time talking only about themselves.

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? Then you're in the right place.  Former co-hosts of the Tell Me It's Going To Be OK podcast Mia Freedman and journalist Amelia Lester debrief about everything that has happened over the past week.

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. Biden and Trump believe they're both on track to win, as protestors in Washington take to the streets and the mood grows sombre for many....But with mail-in ballots continuing to be counted, we're in for a long week.  CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens  Producer: Emma Gillespie and Elissa Ratliff 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.

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?

What happens when your friends are over for dinner, but you really want to go to bed?

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.

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.

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.

It’s Christmas Day for Holly Wainwright because she gets to talk about… Gwyneth Paltrow! The woman behind Goop has opened up about her marriage breakdown in an essay for Vogue. So, did she really spark a “separation revolution”? Also, it’s been 13 years since Prime Minister Julia Gillard was called “barren” by Senator Bill Heffernan.
