Hey Lifers!

It's time for your therapy Thursday.

First up, the health minister of Hong Kong has an...unusual request to stop people from smoking. We're all about it.

Vibes and Unsubscribes for the week:

Keeshia: Julia Louis Dreyfus' podcast "wiser than me" here

Laura: Unsubscribing from the ATO and indexation of HECS loans

Britt: Squirt and mop... yeah. That's the vibe here

The questions we unpack today are:

• My partner has thousands of dollars worth of sex toys that he's collected over years and years. Can I ask him to 'start fresh' or should I be okay with using the existing toys?
• My partner is not pulling his weight to support our family and often doesn't want to work. I'm getting the ick from his lack of ambition. Is this understandable or am I expecting too much? Note, we have one kid and another on the way
• I asked my boyfriend to block his ex-girlfriend on Instagram (a boundary of mine and not sure if this is a healthy boundary or not) and I’ve just found out that he’s gone out of his way to unblock her. Am I in the wrong for having asked or is he in the wrong for blatantly disrespecting my boundary?

Hey Lifers!

The team are back together but still as chaotic as ever.

Laura has officially cha cha'd her way off the Dancing with the Stars stage, and learnt an important lesson. Producer Keeshia has been gaslit by a wasp and what is the bare minimum for a first date - we discuss. 

Today we are also joined by the CEO of Respect Victoria Emily Maguire.

Emily has joined Future Women for the second season of their podcast "There's no place like home."  This season is all about non-physical forms of abuse, what they look and feel like to you and others and how to talk to colleagues/mates if you think something’s amiss.

In this chat we cover:

• love bombing,
• gaslighting,
• isolation,
• jealousy,
• financial abuse,
• tech surveillance and 
• blame shifting

Hello lovely lifers, 

It's Therapy Thursday and we are here to answer all your deep dark and burning questions - but first.. Britt had a very unusual facial on her holidays and well, lets just say it explains the pink eye. 

Today's questions 

• I think my sister in laws husband is cheating do I tell? 
• I am dating my employees friends with benefits - Am I being deceitful?
• Can I name my child after our beloved pet?

Hello Lifers,

We are back from holidays, Britt had her Invisalign stolen and Laura flashed her boob in Fiji. It's good to be back! 

On today's episode we are talking purpose anxiety - but before we do we unpack the whole Jonah Hill saga and the Leaked texts from his ex. We ask the questions when does setting boundaries in a relationship look more like coercive control?

Have you ever felt as though you have no idea what you want to do with your life? Or what brings you purpose or meaning?
Perhaps you have an idea of what that purpose is, but you feel as though you're not achieving it, 

Joining the podcast today is Sabina Read. Sabina is a psychologist, speaker and co-host of the Human Cogs podcast, and today we are talking about purpose anxiety.

Sabina helps us unpack where we get a sense of purpose from and how it's probably not what we think it is. 

We speak about:

• The difference between seeking validation and seeking purpose,
• The different aspects of life that you can get purpose from; it's not just career, a soulmate or parenthood,
• Privilege being intertwined with 'purpose'
• How much our 'blueprint' from when we are a kid impacts us

You can check out all of Sabina's stuff here and her podcast here!

Hey Lifers,

Today's special little ep is one that we promised a few weeks ago!

Britt's boyfriend Ben jumped on the pod and they spoke a bit about their relationship and how they navigate long distance. (You can listen here!)

Firstly, we finally hear Ben's thoughts on the shrine. Sorry for creating your longest running argument Britt...

Then we find out a lot more about who Ben is and what it was like growing up in Switzerland and becoming a professional footballer (not soccer player; we listen and learn).

-I matched with a guy on hinge and things were going really, really well. I was the first person that he'd been with since a bad break up a year ago. After a few weeks of everything going great, he's now become really "busy" when ever I try to make plans. I haven't seen him for 3 weeks. He tells me he likes me and likes hanging out with me. I've reassured him that I'm happy to take things slow because I really like him.

-Is it always the case of "if he wanted to, he would"

-How does an emotionally unavailable person become emotionally available?

Hello you beautiful Lifers, 

Britt is back from Bali and Laura is off to Fiji on her honeymoon, but we managed to squeeze in one great big catch up in Britt's apartment before Laura heads off. We are catching up on where things are at in our own relationships and Laura has some feels before leaving on her honeymoon - which isn't exactly what you might be expecting. 

Joining the podcast today to speak about her experiences of vaginismus is the wonderful Jessie Stephens. Jessie is likely a familiar voice from the Mamamia Out Loud podcast, the podcast ‘Cancelled’ or from hosting The Project. She’s also an author of the international best seller ‘Heartsick.’

In this chat we speak about

• Jessie's experience with vaginismus & how it can feel for different women
• Pain and discomfort during sex, using tampons or pap smears
• How to have the conversation with sexual partners
• Managing vaginismus during pregnancy and childbirth

If you'd like to check out any of Jessie's content and get amongst her new book:

Hey Lifers,

Laura should be on her honey moon and Producer Keeshia is in the hot seat today!

First up, we unpack Lewis Capaldi's performance at Glastonbury. A moment of kindness from the crowd. A huge step in the right direction of visibility of disability. But is some of the commentary around what happened patronising? We discuss.

Vibes and unsubscribes for the week:

Vibe- (courtesy of Jo from Beauty IQ). When you're going on a flight with someone else, pack a change of clothes in each other's bag incase your bag gets lost on the way. At least then you've got a change of clothes.

Unsubscribe- apple air tags are too expensive for the basic device that they are and you absolutely should not be strapping them to your kid

Then we unpack your questions.

• If a relationship cannot survive a 6 month stint of long distance, is it the right relationship at all? 
• Should I be concerned if my new partner tells me he experimented with his sexuality when he was younger but claims he has sorted it out and is now into women? Note: I am not attracted to bisexual people and it puts me off a bit.
• Is it weird to want to organise your own hens? I have bridesmaids, who I love and can’t wait to do all the wedding things together and party, but I also want to be in control of what we do. Am I a control freak or is it ok to do my own?

Joining the podcast today is sex coach, author and presenter Tara O!

Tara was living what seemed to be her best Carrie Bradshaw life. She was writing a column and having a lot of 'wild' sexual experiences. But she wasn't having good sex.
Like SO many of us, it was a performance (has the peacock entered the chat?).

We speak about:

• 'Performing' during sex
• Why we all need to stop faking orgasms with one night stands or long term lovers
• Learning what actually turns us on and gets us off
• How to communicate with a partner about what you like and don't like

You can find all of Tara's stuff like her workshops, coaching, book etc here! And her Instagram here
