How do you tell your teenage influencer that their lucrative side-hustle is about to become illegal? On today's show Holly, Jessie and Em discuss the Aussie family of Youtubers who've decided to leave the country to beat the looming social media ban. 

Also, in this age of full disclosure, why is there one kind of sex that we absolutely do not talk about? And is that silence a mark of respect, or a doing disservice to long-term relationships?

Plus, what is a Compliment Hour and why do I need a Rage Ritual? Em is sharing some trending life hacks for all of us.  

And Jessie has an update about her twins. Were her instincts spot on, or did she (and our tarot card reader) get some stuff wrong?
