Plus, there are four distinct people-pleasing personality types. Which one are you?  
And, the major etiquette rule we love, that is very simple in theory, but incredibly difficult to actually do.

Anne Hathaway doesn't want to say anything, and she didn't say much in her recent (awkward) interview with the New York Times. So, why is she doing interviews at all? We discuss the very contradictory world of interviewing celebrities. 
Plus, our weekend recommendations include a very frank chat about weight, an unputdownable book and a packing hack. 
And, a very sexist medicine shortage, a toilet, a phone and tuna. We discuss our best and worsts of the week.

'What I Eat In A Day' content is back and all over our feeds. But, why do we find knowing what other people eat so interesting?
Plus, has comedy become too politically correct? Jerry Seinfeld of the comedy show, Seinfeld, says comedy is over and the "extreme left" is to blame. We discuss.
And, the age-old question... do you have to have sex to stay married? Our hosts are divided about whether sex really should be a priority.

Plus, Harry and Meghan have hired a new personal brand manager to help them win back the U.K. Can he help them dominate the jam space? Jessie has strong feelings.

The New Sign You’re Having A Crisis

Subscribe to Mamamia
Already, 26 Australian women have been killed this year by men close to them. And while our Federal Government plans to “end gender-based violence in one generation”, we have decided enough is enough. 
Mia is back for round two, to debate whether Arj Barker should have kicked a breastfeeding mother out of his comedy show. But now that we've heard from both sides (a lot... maybe too much), has Jessie changed her stance?
And, why Elon Musk has started beef with Australian politician Jacqui Lambie? We explain and let's be honest... this was certainly not on our 2024 bingo card!
