Life Uncut

It’s the show where Laura and Matty met, so it’s no surprise they are utterly obsessed with the Bachelor and want to follow this year’s leading man in his quest to find everlasting love. If you missed the episodes on TV or just want to re-live the highlights with two Bachie- veterans, we got you covered. This week we were introduced to pilot Jimmy; and we were told about 397 times that he was, in fact, a pilot. From a girl being craned in to the mansion to the first kiss during a photoshoot in front of all of the other contestants, this season has kicked off with a bang; and a girl feeling like she could have farted her way through a tarot card reading!

If you love a bit of bach chat, jump into our facebook discussion group “life uncut discussion group” and then sit back and enjoy the therapy session.

The girls are on break, but it is producer Keeshia and we are taking a walk down memory lane with this episode from 2020 - The pros and cons of being single.

For some reason society has made ‘30’ the magic number for women to have gotten their life together, fallen in love, bought property and have kids on the way. And that if you haven’t you’re a failure and you’re being left behind.

Well, we are here to tell you, they are wrong and everyone is on a different path and why being single at any age can be amazing.

It’s you friendly reminder that you don’t need to give up, buy 10 dogs and move to Alaska to live out your days alone.

Join the convo as we talk pros and cons of  being single in your 30s.

While Britt and Laura are on break we are revisiting the past today - with episode 86 Fight for your right, talking conflict resolution styles for those of you who have not listened yet.

This is one of our favourite episodes, and with a whole lot of you in lock down we thought we better dust off the old conflict rule book so that we can fight smarter with our relationships and respect in tact.

We’ve spoken about love languages and attachment styles in the past and we think this is a really great way to complete the conversation and tie them all in together.

The 5 conflict styles we discuss are

-Conflict avoiders

-volatile couples

-validating couples

-hostile couples

-hostile-detached couples.

These are so important to understand about yourself and your partner so you can work towards a happier, healthier relationship.

So, which one are you!?

In January this year we sat down with India Oxenberg who was the survivor of a US based sex cult named NXIVM. Since speaking with India in January one of her main abusers Allison Mack has been sentenced. Since we know so many of our listeners have been invested in India's story, Laura sits down with India to discuss Allison's sentencing and whether this has brought her closure.

If you are interested in hearing India's full harrowing story please listen to Part 2.

Lifers, This is Part 2 and one from the archives. For anyone who has not listened to India Oxenberg's full interview we cannot recommend this episode enough. This episode was originally published on the 20th of January 2021.

PART 1: Is a a new interview recorded on the 6th of July 2021 discussing Allison Mack's recent conviction and sentencing.

This podcast episode discusses sexual assault, coercive control and living in a cult, This may be triggering to victim survivors. If you need help or someone to talk to, you can call 1800 RESPECT or visit respect.gov.au.

“My name is India Oxenberg. I was in a cult for seven years. I didn't want to be saved,"

This is the harrowing opening line to Stan's four-part docuseries that explores the NXIVM cult. The cult started as a US-based self-improvement group, led by Keith Raniere, but in the end the group was exposed for the dark and disturbing cult that it was.

For 20 years from 1998 and 2018, Raniere recruited thousands of people under the guise of personal development seminars and self improvement sessions even luring in several celebrities and socialites with the most prolific being Smallville star Allison Mack.

Over a long period of time, NXIVM faced a multitude of accusations of systemic sexual abuse of female members by Raniere and members of his inner circle. India was a part of this cult, without knowledge that it was a cult, for 7 years.

The last two of which she was a part of a secret sub group within the cult called DOS, which is a Latin phrase that translates to "Master over Slave Women," It was at this point India was expected to engage in sex acts with Keith Raniere, to act as a slave to Smallville star Allison Mack and to be a master to her own two slaves. It was also here that she was held down naked and branded with Keiths initials on her stomach without anaesthetic and while being filmed.

We are so grateful to have India join us today to personally tell us her story. How she got involved with the group, what life was life inside, the perpetual yet slow grooming, the coercive control, the manipulation and brain washing, the things she was made to do, the collateral she was forced to put down to ensure her silence. She speaks candidly about when things turned sexual, her inhumane branding and eventually how she found her way out and her life after the cult.
