    SUBSCRIBER: The Shameful Sh*t That Keeps Us Up At Night

    Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night all you can think about is a cringey and embarrassing moment that happened to you 15 years ago? It happens to Jessie Stephens a lot... and today she needed to find out whether or not she is alone.

    In this episode, Holly Mia and Jessie share their most shameful moments that replay in their heads. From Jessie's super embarrassing babysitting nightmare (we can't actually believe she said it out loud...) to a moment from Mia's career she deeply regrets.

    BONUS: Rob Mills On Feeling His Lowest While Under The Spotlight

    Picture this: you're standing on stage, about to perform in front of thousands of people, feeling your absolute lowest then... the stage lights come up. It’s the nightmare we’ve all had, but Rob Mills has actually lived it. Welcome to: But Are You Happy?
    Rob Mills is a singer, actor, writer, and — Australia’s boyfriend. He’s a big advocate for mental health, having had moments in life where he’s suffered in silence.
    In this chat, Rob opens up about his once all-consuming relationship with alcohol, the mental health crisis facing men, the magic of falling in love, and how getting “the thing” isn’t always a recipe for happiness.

Honest and often hilarious insight into women’s lives

I absolutely love this podcast. He is so honest and often raw. I like the fact that they don’t gloss ever when they have made a mistake and will give a good deep dive into the current topics. I also really get the feeling that they do have every day struggles that we all have, and that the host can relate to women in our areas of life. They have been my constant companion for many years now when I walk one of my six dogs and I’m so grateful that this podcast has been made.

Mia, is everything ok?

This podcast is turning into difficult to listen. There is too much explaining of personal stuff through “stories and interesting conversations” that is to steer their own narrative. I am sorry to say this, but Mia, are you ok? It is so evident the team is struggling with managing some manic behaviour behind the scenes and it feels a bit scary as an outside listener and observer. Maybe the ADHD diagnosis is not quite right and should be reviewed?

Toutou28 ,

A little annoying.

The advertising dressed up as content is ick. Please don’t say “right” after voicing your opinion. It sounds like a bossy school ma’m. I’m beginning to wonder if your sponsors are dictating the content. It’s seems fishy.
