Mamamia Out Loud

Oh. Oh. Ohhhhhhpprah. It’s been almost five years since our life coach overlord has actually filmed a show but she’s still kicking. On the eve of her Australian tour we dive into the cult of Oprah. KPI’s are generally used in the workplace to measure performance, but should they be used on your partner?And are the days of bikini models draped seductively over cars numbered? This week, tyre manufacturer Pirelli made a calendar that some are calling the signal for a major cultural shift for women.  Female empowerment comes in mysterious ways…. like a tyre calendar….

Social media is rife with #humblebrags, so why are women crap at talking themselves up in real life? Do you forget things easily? We can now blame "Google brain" for that. We talk paternity leave, dating at the gym, breakfast raves, mouthguards in bed, and who Taylor Swift should choose as her Australian #girlsquad representative.

Monique recommends the prison T-shirt program servingtime.org

Jamila recommends Nars Lipstick, it's bold, beautiful and long lasting. Mia always wears the Schiap colour.  It can be exxy though, so for the mid-range purchase try Sportgirl lipsticks. The Flirt one is a bright, vivid pink.

Mia recommends Master of None on Netflix

The movement No Platform aims to stop people who have fringe opinions and viewpoints from speaking. But what about our the right to free speech? We can’t stop masterdating around here and when you hear about it, you’ll be finding some alone time and doing it too. And would you hire someone to be your mum for a few hours? There’s a business for that.

Well, they're all hobbies, right? Mia Freedman, Jamila Rizvi and Monique Bowley compare leisure activities and ask: has the internet eaten them all? And shared hobbies with your partner are great but what if you don't want to do their boring things?

Would you ban phones at your wedding? A photographer is calling on guests to unplug, but turns out there's a big upside to nuptial screen time. And why university students are desperate to get their hands on baby formula.
