    Why We All Quit Therapy & When The Internet Says ‘Leave Him’

    Are Aussies anti bush? Not the former president, the bikini kind. A viral essay asked why nobody blinked when a writer wore hers to the beach, and Em wants to know whether Australia is culturally anti-bush while America is having a big bush renaissance (a bush-enaissance if you allow).  Would you post about it if your partner killed the family pet? A well-known content creator told her 1.8 million followers that her husband had killed the injured bird they were nursing back to health, and the internet unanimously said the same thing: leave him. But is it actually that simple, or is there a difference between the line you'd draw with your partner and the line you'd draw with a friend? Plus, one of the biggest names on the internet has just quietly ended a show she's been running for 12 years, and Em thinks she's stopped too soon. And therapy is over-rated! Why none of us are having it at the moment and what we’re doing instead.

    Among the tributes to a legend, one Gloria Steinem quote is landing hard for a generation of millennial women. So, Holly wants to discuss, are we still “living the unlived lives of our mothers?” or do we now almost envy the lives they got to lead? Plus, Jessie wants to tell us about a $800 toothbrush with its own onboard camera and an AI opinion about your gums, and she is worryingly into it. And, Amelia has watched Netflix's new Raygun documentary and wants to know if you can actually have TOO much self belief?  Plus: The Australian sporting moment you can’t watch without crying.

    NO FILTER: "I Went to a Really Dark Place": Jessie Stephens on the Six Months Nobody Saw

    Jessie Stephens, co-host of Mamamia Out Loud and bestselling author, sits down with Kate Langbroek for a completely candid conversation about the last six months of her life. Ten weeks early, on the day she finished up for maternity leave, Jessie gave birth to twins Margot and Harry, while at home raising her toddler daughter, Luna. Jessie opens up about something she's never spoken about publicly before, a moment in NICU when she found herself in what she describes as "a really dark place." She also talks about growing up an identical twin, falling for her now husband Luca while they worked together, and building a marriage and family and a career when it's all intertwined. Jessie will be back on Mamamia Out Loud in September. Want to listen before everyone else?

    The ‘Freezer Spell’ Trend & A Lethal Sex Act

    It took $18 billion to get kids off instagram. Meta has agreed to pay the landmark sum to make social media safer. Mia breaks down what’s actually changing, whether it will actually help, or whether we’re all too addicted. Plus, Mia and Nicole Kidman have something surprisingly specific in common. There’s a “freezer spell” trend taking over group chats, is it setting a boundary… or just a very cold way of avoiding a difficult conversation? A tragic death has prompted a deeply uncomfortable conversation about sex, consent and what young people now consider normal. Amelia looks at why sexual choking has become so widespread among young people and why experts say that consenting to something doesn’t necessarily make it safe.
