What Every Woman Needs To Hear From Her Ex

There’s never been more in life to distract us, but we’re more bored than ever before. We unpack why we’re all so damn bored… and whether or not it’s a good thing. Plus, our recommendations, including some funny women talking about Holly’s favourite subject, a new podcast baby in our family and a TV show to watch this weekend. And a formal apology from Holly, Mia’s new nana name (with a sprinkle of surprise beef) and Jessie’s juicy Saturday night encounter - it’s best and worst.

SUBSCRIBER: "We Can See You... Could You Not?"

Uh-oh. Your neighbours go to the loo and thanks to some dodgy not-so-frosted windows, you can see them EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Yeah, they're nice enough people but not so nice that you want to share their private bathroom business. So, what do you do? Keep quiet or tell them? And if you do decide to have a word, HOW? Fortunately, Holly, Mia and Jessie clean up with advice for the Outlouder who's faced with... way too much. Plus, what happens when after 28 years of marriage you wake up one day and decide "I love you... but yeah, nah to sex now, thanks"? We help one woman with her bedroom conundrum.

The Influencer Family We Can’t Talk About

Medi Mums #medicalmoms are on the rise on social media. Don't know what we're talking about? Listen in as we discuss why parents share their children's moments when they're at their most vulnerable --- and why. Plus, is the era of the celebrity endorsement over? Eva Longoria made her thoughts about the new US president clear but after the election, no-one seems to want to hear what she, or any other celebrity, think. And are you in your Protective Hag era? Let's just say that one of the hosts is and one... not so much. Buckle up for the discussion.

SUBSCRIBER: Dopamine Diets, Glimmers & Pockets of Joy

Hasn't 2024 been a huge year? Some might say mahoosive. That's why it's important to take a moment and appreciate the 'glimmers' around us --- the little moments that spark happiness in the everyday. It's the Dopamine Diet which never disappoints. Mia, Jessie and guest host Amelia Lester, share their particular pockets of joy from the year so far. From serendipitous moments and quality time to... Copenhagen fashion. No prizes for guessing who came up with that particular nugget of joy. Enjoy!

Horny Midlife Women & The Sexiest Man Alive

Surely the tallest of poppies is the man who declares himself the Sexiest Man Alive? John Kransinski is the latest to take the title and yes, there's a strategy. Pull up a chair while we unpack exactly how something old turned into something new. Plus, bullying, phones and a teenage girl’s legacy. What actually needs to change to fulfil what’s being called Charlotte’s Wish. We discuss. And, has it been the year of the thirsty midlife woman? Bridget Jones is back, she’s dating a younger man, and at least one millennial columnist thinks "that's enough now".

EXTRA: Mia Interviews Jackie O About The Addiction That Almost Ended Her

Jackie O was deep into a years-long addiction to pills and alcohol until one phone call changed her life. There’s a reason Jackie O kept her addiction to pain medication and alcohol a secret for so long: shame. But now, she wants to share her story of recovery and healing with the world and to help other people get the help they need - and so she’s sharing the hard truths of the years she spent struggling. Jackie and her best friend Gemma sit down for a searingly honest conversation with Mia Freedman about how Jackie found herself at her low point and finally had to admit her addiction to Gemma - and how Gemma got Jackie to rehab without the press finding out. This is a story about addiction and recovery, but it’s also a story of the life-saving quality of friendship. You can hear part two of Mia's conversation here. Jackie is donating the proceeds from the sale of her memoir to Odyssey House - you can learn more about them here. You can find Jackie O’s memoir, The Whole Truth, here. You can learn more about Besties - Jackie & Gemma’s project - here. And if this episode triggered anything for you and you need someone to talk to, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

SUBSCRIBER: Stevie Nicks And The Hard Truth About Rivalry

Jealousy, rivalry, envy and competitiveness. They've always existed but can any of them ever be a good thing? Stevie Nicks doesn't seem to think so telling Katy Perry to "get off the internet" believing it to be poison for relationships between artists. So, is there anything wrong with wanting to be number one or is it better to share success? And what's the difference between rivals and competitors anyway? Grab the popcorn, because we are NOT on the same page for this one.
