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 saw the ring, the receipt and everything. Should I tell him I've seen it or act shocked when he proposes?

-How early is 'too' early to bring up stuff like mental health issues in the early stages of dating someone?

Vibes and unsubscribes today are:

Today we have a special bonus episode for you with someone that a lot of you will know from the Life Uncut Discussion Group.

It's Carly Sophia!

Now, you might have seen some absolutely hilarious posts from her written in the group and had questions like "how does one become a sex toy reviewer?"

Well today those questions and a bunch more are answered.

Carly lives a fun life. In this chat we talk about all different sex toys and how to find the one that's right for you, being a single mum of twins and navigating her open relationship.

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

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!

1. 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?
2. 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?
3. 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!

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

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.

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?

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY LIFERS & LOVERS

Today's episode is a biggie and it's oh so full of luuuurve!
First up we are diving into the worst Valentine's day gifts you've ever received.
Every time we ask ya'll for the 'worsts' of your life we are flabbergasted. Some of your old lovers are cooked!
Someone who probably won't be celebrating Valentine's Day is Megan Fox and MGK (or my kitchen rules as Laura would like to continue with). They've either cooked up a big PR stunt that's caused quite the stir or Megan has done the 2023 version of a tumbler board full of angry messages/a slather of deep break up quotes on your insta story.

Then we are joined by our favourite friend of the pod Rebel wilson!
Rebel shares:

• How she and her partner Ramona met
• The Sydney Morning Herald journalist that tried to out Rebel for being in a same sex relationship
• Rebel speaks about how they navigated the publicness of their relationship
• Being a mum, navigating work with motherhood and the huge differences in how surrogacy and sperm donation works in the US compared to Australia
  
  If you loved the ep, leave us a little review & tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love!! xx
