Hey lifers,

Laura's unhinged (again) and Britt might need to unpack why she finds enjoyment in true crime because there's a psychologist who says that's kinda weird.

Do you relax by watching true crime?

Our vibes and unsubscribes for the week:

Britt - Netflix's 'Arnold'

Laura - Influencers who ask if their followers want to see holiday content

Your ask uncuts that we unpack this week:

• After a night out myself, my boyfriend of 1.5 years and one of my best girl friends (who is gay) went home together and one thing led to another and we ended up having a threesome. We had never spoken about the possibility of doing this and it’s the first time it’s happened. Since it’s happened I can’t stop picturing my boyfriend having sex with my best friend as I just laid there next to them, and I feel sick. Since my best friend is gay I feel like it meant nothing to her, but he is straight and chose to have penetrative and oral sex with her. Is this something I should be concerned about? Can we move on from this? I’ve tried to talk to him about it but he’s not overly fussed about the situation and is kind of de-validating my concerns (ie saying “we’ll you were involved just as much as me”)
  
  
• My best friend recently matched on Bumble with a guy from America. Although he is currently living in America, they matched because he had his status set to traveling in preparation for an upcoming trip to Aus. Over the last few weeks they’ve been texting, calling and FaceTiming every day and are totally smitten. They’ve even been discussing wedding plans for this summer and choosing baby names. They’ve also talked about her moving there because he said with his job he would have to start from square one if he moved here. She said she knows it all seems crazy but she’s sure he is her penguin and that she’s never felt like this before and neither has he. He’s coming here at the end of next month and I’m just so skeptical!! Am I right to feel that way? Or should I just be supportive of her happiness? She’s just come out of a tumultuous couple of years in her personal life so I feel super protective of her. HELP!
  
  
• Do you flush the toilet at night time if your partner or housemate or family are asleep? What’s the etiquette?
  
  
• A friend of mine got married a few months ago and then asked a group of friends to plan the hens. The wedding was really small and the kicker was that none of the friends who were asked to plan the hens were invited. We all find it a bit weird that we've been asked to plan the 'fling after the ring' despite not being invited to the wedding

Hey Lifers,

First up, Laura set herself on fire at a surprise wedding where she had special duties and spoiler, one of them wasn't setting off the fire alarms!

Ben finally met Britt's family. Britt might have some competition from her nan... and she also might want to find some new accommodation options for when she visits Port Macquarie.

Then we are talking boobs!

Joining us today to speak about her own personal experiences of breast implant illness and explant surgery is Dr Kirsty Seward.

Kirsty had breast augmentation when she was 25 years old.
5 years on & Kirsty had a range of symptoms from a condition that she had never heard of, breast implant illness. Her implants had not ruptured or leaked, but she was constantly fatigued, sick and had major brain fog.

In this chat:

• The reasons why Kirsty got implants to begin with (and later regretted)
• How breast augmentation surgery works
• Symptoms of breast implant illness
• Explant surgery
• How her body healed afterwards

We also speak about the psychological side of plastic/cosmetic surgery and questioning 'why' we want to change certain parts of ourselves.

This is a great episode for anyone who has considered or has undergone a procedure just to be aware that there are potential side effects that aren't spoken about.

You can find all of Kirsty's details here! Or her Instagram here

Hi Lifers, 

Welcome back to another Therapy Thursday where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions. On today's episode we have some goodies! 

• Should you always ask the parent before sharing a photo of their child on social media? I'm a new parent and I've had some ask and others not. It makes me feel frustrated that they don't ask/have the etiquette to ask me first. 
• Am I stingy? A couple friend of ours invited my partner and I over for dinner. We have hosted them a few times. I asked "is there anything you'd like us to bring?" to which they responded "No, that's okay. We can add up how much it all costs and let you know how much to transfer." After dinner they asked me to transfer $15. It's left a weird taste in my mouth. Is it normal to ask your dinner guests to transfer you money for dinner?
• My partner and I have been together for 10 months and we live together, but he doesn't want our relationship on social media. He is okay with me posting things of him, but he doesn't post anything of me. Am I silly for caring about this or do you think it's an issue?

Hey Lifers!

How do you feel about your phone blocking your nudes? Yes, no, maybe? Are you into the consent of it? 
First up we unpack the new update coming to iPhones that is going to ask you whether you'd like to receive potentially explicit material!

Speaking of technology, we've got two cracker accidentally unfiltereds for you today and people, step away from the phones (and chat GPT).

Content warning - In this chat we speak about pregnancy loss and termination from 1 hour 20 mins.

Joining us today is the incredible Sarah Wilson! Sarah is a multi-New York Times best-selling author, podcaster, international keynote speaker, philanthropist and climate change advisor.

Sarah is 49 & has been single for 15 years. We chat about why she likes to date younger men, how Aussie men measure up to internationals, 'lost boy' syndrome and socially dating 'up' or 'down.'

Sarah's 'I Quit Sugar' business was really successful. She sold it off in 2022 & gave everything to charity. She now lives a nomadic lifestyle with 2 suitcases of belongings and travels the world solo!

Sarah lives with Hashimoto's disease and bipolar. In our chat we speak about how she manages anxiety and navigates so much uncertainty. 

If you'd like to follow Sarah's podcast, writing or socials you can find everything here!

Hey Lifers!

Britt's boyfriend Ben is here and making his life uncut debut! Hope you enjoy the sultry tones of our Swiss sensation! First up Britt and Ben share how they met and are making their long distance relationship work!

Vibes for the week:
Laura: Natural deodorant "no pong"
Britt: Bicarb soda and vinegar to flush out your dishwasher and washing machine

Then we jump into your questions:

• When flying (usually for work, like a 1 hour trip), I usually chat to the person/stranger seated next to me on the plane. Like conversation the whole way. I was just in Sydney this week for work, and colleagues commented that this is weird and I should just go to sleep or put headphones on. Am I a weirdo for having a chat?
  
  
• I have been with my partner for over 2 years. We had a difficult relationship from the start, and we had so many conflicts. Lately, the conflicts have been really bad and he has told me things like "I don't love you anymore" - "I am not attracted to you" and so many other small things (you are too emotional, too sensitive, you talk too much etc" - but when I asked him the question "why don't you break up with me then!" - he says, it does not feel right. We had so many break up chats, but neither of us could do it. Is it normal to have these types of conflicts? And if not.. Why is he not breaking up with me if I am such a burden? 
  
  
• Do you think it is unreasonable to be told what to wear to hens? I understand having a theme but on top of paying for accommodation, activities and drinks I now have to buy an outfit that I will likely never wear again to fit a specific theme.

Hey Lifers!

Britt is the peacock of all peacocks and ready for the arrival of her international lover! 
We unpack some ageism that Ryan Gosling is experiencing for his role of "Ken" in the new barbie movie; a type of scrutiny that women have been put under for a long time but seems quite new for the 'hot' men in Hollywood. 

Then we are joined by multi-award winning Australian comedian and cabaret sensation Reuben Kaye!

Reuben is the child of Russian peasants and German refugees. His grandparents survived the holocaust. In this chat Reuben speaks candidly about how we tend to use dark humour to cope with bad things that happen in our life. 

WE COVER:

• His incredible family story
• Using humour to deal with trauma
• Performing in drag
• Subject v object in comedy & making sure his audience know they're in a safe space
• When a joke backfires 
  
  

For all of Reuben's upcoming gigs, you can check out his schedule and grab your tickets here!
