July 17, 2021 BONUS: How Is My Body Your Business? Mahalia Handley On Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Mahalia Handley has a face you might recognise; she's an internationally regarded model who has has worked for some of the world's biggest brands, and she's also an activist who tirelessly campaigns for more diversity and inclusion in the modelling industry.
But this interview is about something else: Body Dysmorphic Disorder. BDD is an illness that makes people who experience it incredibly anxious about perceived flaws in their appearance, and Mahalia is open and candid about her diagnosis and treatment.
In this interview (which was recorded pre-lockdown) Em and Lucy discuss with Mahalia about how she manages her BDD when modelling, how social media plays into it and why she still loves her job.
Trigger Warning: we discuss eating disorders extensively in this episode. If you need any support please visit visit The Butterfly Foundation at butterfly.org.au/ or call 1800 33 4673.
Thank you to our guest Mahalia Handley and Vivien's Model Management.

July 07, 2021 A Hard Conversation Between Lucy And Em
Emily and Lucy are still in lockdown and recording in their closets and under doonas, but the show must go on!

On today's Big Issue, Em and Lucy have a tough conversation about accountability, and apologising to your friends. It isn't the easiest thing to do, so we go through the best ways to go about it.

Plus, have you ever been a 'Pick Me Girl'? Most of us have, at one point or another. We break down exactly what this is, and Em tells us the story of one of her worst dates on Dating Diary, which ended in a very long rejection text.

June 24, 2021 How To Know If You're Settling
When Lucy posted a confession about someone 'settling' in their relationship on Instagram, she got tons of messages from people who related. We thought we'd unpack the concept of settling in a relationship, and in life.

Lucy and Em also discuss the exclusion of diverse shades of foundation in Australia, and for Dating Diary Lucy describes the one night stand that changed her standards forever.
