"Your age doesn’t determine if you can be successful, and your bank account doesn’t determine if you are happy."

Today we are talking timeline pressures, career changes and running your own race!

But before we do that we have some hella cute Bumble success stories! 

Have you noticed we are all in hurry to get there, wherever that may be! In a hurry to grow up, graduate, become successful, in a hurry to get things done. We get upset when things don’t go our way, when results are not achieved instantly. It’s one big race and we are petrified of being left behind.
Timelines have consciously or subconsciously been ingrained in our minds from the beginning. Whether it was uni graduation by 21, owning property before 30, getting married and having kids by 35 or retirement by 60. It seems there is always something that should have been done by a certain age or time. Maybe somewhere along the way you've wanted to change your career path but the thought of change and failure is too much, so you just don't.

But then, society has this funny way of making us feel that if we don’t accomplish these deadlines, we are failing. We start existing in this vicious cycle of feeling unaccomplished, unsuccessful and a little lost. We start questioning why we aren’t where we were 'meant' to be. We start comparing our timelines to others timelines. Well, we are here to tell you that your journey is YOURS and hot damn you can run that race any way you see fit!

Thanks to todays sponsor @bumble_australia , where women are empowered to take control of their dating life and make the first move.

Hey Lifers!
Welcome to the episode where we unpack your deep, dark and burning questions. Britt's still in the jungle eating pig nipples. There's a sentence I never thought I'd write... Please keep voting to keep our girl in the jungle!  VOTE HERE

Laura's brought her extra 4 legged child home. Buster is terrified and Matt is still in the 'dad who doesn't want the pet' phase. We all know that there's no one who will love a family pet more than the dad who initially said they didn't want them.

Questions:

FRIEND CUTS PEOPLE OFF MID SENTENCE

One of my best friends constantly cuts people off while they are mid-sentence, sometimes when the person is answering the questions that she has asked them. She also will cut into other people’s conversations and start talking about something completely unrelated and making it hard to get the original chat back on track. Now that I’ve noticed she does this it drives me mental and makes me not want to have a deep engaged conversation with her, as it seems like she’s not properly listening or interested in what I have to say. Is there a way to politely tell her that she does this? Or is this a quirk of her personality that I need to let go?

ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT AND HE'S NOT BEING SUPPORTIVE

I’ve recently moved interstate to a brand new city and I’m loving it. I met a guy pretty soon after arriving here, and he is amazing. Turns out on the first night we slept together, I fell pregnant. I am not in a position to keep the baby, and we’re aligned on that decision. However he hasn’t been as supportive as I would’ve hoped. I have been super sick, unable to work, bed ridden, and he hasn’t been replying for my messages for days on end. He hasn’t offered to bring me anything, or even just pay for appointments or supplies, or even just ask how I'm doing. I know we’re not together but I can’t help but feel disappointed in the way he’s handled this. What would your tips be before going forward in this situation?  Should I keep seeing him after?

IS IT OK TO PEE WITH YOUR PARTNER IN THE SHOWER?

Please help me settle this debate between my boyfriend and I! Is it okay to pee in the shower when I shower with my boyfriend? For context, we shower together every night and he always finds it weird and gross that I have to pee in the shower. But I think It’s fine as it ends up going down the same pipes and to the same destination as the toilet. Should he just get over it or should I stop peeing in the shower when he is in there with me?

DO I TELL HIM ABOUT MY FAMILY CONDITION?

I lost my dad when I was a teenager from a neurodegenerative disorder. This disorder is genetic and each child has a 50/50 chance of inheriting it with it being a dominant gene. There is no cure or treatment so it is essentially a death sentence. My sister is in the later stages of the disease having been diagnosed in her mid 20s. I haven’t been tested due to not feeling ready but I’m starting to look into testing now as I’ve started to realise how much it has held me back in things such as relationships and career. At this stage from our family history, it’s looking like I don’t have it. I have been single for a long time because of this and not wanting to bring someone in just in case I have it or for them to have to witness what my family is going through. I’ve been on a few dates recently but a lot of the time people ask why I’ve been single for so long. At what stage do I tell them my family history? I don’t want to scare people straight away but also don’t want to misinform them.

Ask Uncut - Are You the Interruptee or the Interrupter?

Tara Rae Moss is a chronic pain and disability advocate, keynote speaker and bestselling author of 14 books. It’s likely that you originally know Tara Rae from her life as an international model, but her life took an unexpected turn 8 years ago when she developed a chronic pain condition known as CRPS. 
In this chat we speak about:

Her experiences in the modelling industry as a teenager
Why she has returned to using her birth name Tara Rae
The halo effect, pretty privilege, the ugly laws and how it all is connected to ableism
How opportunities dried up once Tara Rae said that she had a disability
What living with CRPS was like and her journey to remission
Having to take a lie detector test to prove that she actually wrote her novels
Intersectional feminism

Uncut with Tara Rae Moss - The Halo Effect, Pretty Privilege and "Ugly Laws"

Hey Lifers,
Today's episode was particularly difficult to record. The whole nation is grieving the loss of 6 people in our community after a horrific act of violence on Saturday afternoon at Bondi Junction shopping centre.
Within our team, we have personal connections to some of the victims and we want to send our most sincere love and support to the families and loved ones who have had one of the most horrific events imaginable take place. 
Today we speak about the way that this incident was reported in the media, and the lessons that we can learn from it. In a time where we are so demanding of instant information, it seems as though respect, permission, grace and importantly the need for the information to be true has been lost.

And, on a lighter note we also have a chat about how to know whether you should invite your partner to an event/hang out.
In this conversation we spoke about an episode that we recorded about askers and guessers. You can listen to that here

The best Of The PickUp radio show - Who moved the bed?

Hey Lifers,
Welcome back to your weekly therapy session where we unpack your deep, burning questions!

Vibes for the week:
Keeshia: (follow up from last week is that if you already pay for Spotify, you can listen to a bunch of audiobooks for free!)
Plus the podcast Modern Wisdom with Matthew Hussey - Why Is Love So Hard To Find In The Modern World
Laura: One Day on Netflix
Then we get into your questions!

My husband and I have two kids. I would happily have another but he doesn't want another. I've become comfortable with this being our family unit. As such, I have broached the conversation of him having a vasectomy because I don't feel as though I should be responsible for contraception given that he is the one who has made this decision. He has completely taken the idea of a vasectomy off the table and said that he will not have one. Although I feel he should have bodily autonomy, I think it is an unfair expectation that he won't have one when I have already given birth to our two children.
I was house/pet sitting while the owners were away on holidays. I just discovered an indoor camera in the kitchen / living area - after having a very hot sex with my partner pretty much right in front of it! I have also been walking around naked or just undies when it’s hot. I did ask the owners about cameras/security before agreeing to the house sit and they only informed me about a front door security camera. What do I do now?? Do I ask them about it or should I just ignore it and pray that the camera wasn’t recording, nobody saw anything and they don’t have first class porn stored somewhere on their cloud?



Do you think sexual chemistry can grow? I met up with a guy from Hinge, had a great chat, lots of laughs and things in common but couldn’t picture myself kissing him. I usually rely on it from the get go but I’m trying to date guys I wouldn’t usually initially pick since the guys that I do feel instant chemistry with haven’t worked out.



My boyfriend just told me that when he was at his best friend's house the other night he lost track of the odds and had to drink his bestie's baby mama's breast milk. We don’t have kids yet and I always thought mine would be the only breast milk he tried. Idk how to feel about it. I'm kinda grossed out and feel upset that he tried another woman's breast milk but don’t know if I’m overreacting or not. He also thinks it’s fine cos it’s the same as drinking female cow milk.
