Have you heard of 'Birth Control Tik Tok?' It's the side of TikTok showing influencers promoting "natural" birth control and encouraging women to stop taking hormonal contraceptives. 

There's varying degrees of scientific accuracy in their claims - and theories that they are playing into the global shift towards right wing politics that is starting to limit women's control over their own bodies. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look into why some people are demonising the pill and if hormonal contraception is really the enemy.

At what age did you start to achieve those milestones that would be a confirmed step into adulthood? 

Things like getting your first full time job, getting your drivers license or having your first real relationship?

A new concept claims that today's emerging adults are delaying some or all of those traditional adult achievements by adopting what's called a 'slow life strategy'.

In this episode of The Quicky, we're looking at the shift in how we view the age at which we should be getting on with our adult lives.

Last week, Federal MP Monique Ryan’s former chief of staff Sally Rugg, settled a case out of court that many had hoped would shed some light on the wording we all probably have a version of in our own current employment contracts

What is considered reasonable additional hours?

Today we find out how a plane ride, a case of covid, a decision by the prime minister and one comment, almost led to us getting clarity on a vague term in almost all of our employment contracts regarding overtime.

The relationship women have had with their pubic hair over the centuries varies depending on culture, fashion or the movement of the time. But we know, in 2023, the majority of you don't have any at all, choosing to wax, shave or laser it away.

But, what if being bald between your legs isn't the healthiest choice? Did you know pubic hair actually has a purpose? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we find out if we are doing out lady gardens a disservice by going bare down there, and, if we have, what can we do to support a healthy and happy vulva.
