Never Look At At Married Man's Google Search

Mary accidentally glimpsed a married man's Google search and now she has to pretend to be blind for the rest of her life. Bruna has discovered boxing, and has the Rocky song in her head and a very specific enemy face on the bag. Sally admits she may have cheated at Wordle for family reasons. Cath's driving instructor kept a wooden ruler on his lap, which feels less like a lesson and more like a minor crime. And after Bruna admits to escaping a wellness retreat, Sally rings ones to ask the thing no one else was brave enough to: how often do people run for their lives? Also, why tiny joys are the ones we hold onto, and one adult son who moved back home and started treating the place like a hotel. In your ears today: Sally Hepworth, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea and Cath Mahoney. Check out our Unleashed music playlist for some feel good throwbacks!

EXTRA: Grace Lam Has An Idiot Allergy

For over 25 years Grace Lam lived inside the glossy world of fashion, including as a Vogue editor. Then hormones kicked down the door and blew up her life. In this MID conversation with Holly Wainwright, Grace gets incredibly real about what that identity crisis actually felt like, and how she went from the fashion front row to the Western Australian Senate, fighting for institutions to finally catch up to women's health needs. Grace is sharp, funny, no-BS, and gloriously sweary. It’s honest, a little bit raw, and a masterclass in turning perimenopause misery into a loud, important movement.

I Escaped a Wellness Retreat Before Breakfast

An expensive wellness retreat was booked. A quiet, nourishing reset was planned. But no TV and no phone? Bruna said..no thanks. Speaking of wellness, Mary claims she cured her warts with witchcraft, and Dr Ginni has some...scientific questions. Creatine is the midlife supplement we hear about more than any, so what does the good Doctor have to say? And how far would you go for your bestie? Because Mary went pretty far to get Bruna a filming permit. Plus a dilemma: our Unleashers husband has discovered Facebook Marketplace and is convinced he can flip a commercial deep fryer by Tuesday. So entrepreneurial. Our advice is savage. In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Mary Coustas, Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney. Check out our Unleashed music playlist for some feel good throwbacks!

EXTRA: How Sally Hepworth Survived Her Divorce

We love Sally Hepworth on the Unleashed couch for her razor-sharp wit and her hilarious, no-BS take on modern motherhood. Sally is one of Australia’s most successful, best-loved authors and her novels are regularly on top bestseller lists around the world. But in this No Filter conversation with Kate Langbroek, she strips back the bestseller glamour to share her most personal story yet - and it’s as layered and compelling as one of her books. Sally gets incredibly real about ending her 20-year marriage, why she no longer believes marriage is a good deal for women and her new golden rule: never living with a man again. And why, despite the heartbreak, this next chapter might just be her happiest yet. It’s honest, a little bit raw, and a chance to get to know this powerhouse author a whole lot better. This episode originally aired on No Filter.

The Unexpected Dating Coach for Divorced Women. Seriously?

Sally called in from Melbourne to formally lodge a complaint against Cath's new dating coach. Mary invented a ball bra and pitched it to a Bonds designer. Cath saw Stirrup Pants are back and needs a fashion assessment from Grace. Meanwhile, Grace turned up to Parliament House in polka dot socks and briefly out-styled the entire Australian Government. Dr. Ginni invented a brilliant new business idea; shame it's already been done. Also: what was the first R-rated film you snuck into? And what kind of psychological damage did it leave behind? Cath also has a TV recco for your winter nights; Rivals is a Gen X viewing paradise. In your ears today: Mary Coustas, Cath Mahoney, Grace Lamb and Dr. Ginni Mansberg.

That 6:37am Text & Lam’s Tram Takeover

Just when we thought we couldn't love Kylie Minogue any more, she gave a masterclass in how to handle your ex, and we're obsessed. Grace is handing out shower caps to strangers on public transport like it's her actual job. Meanwhile, Cath has been running her entire dating life through an AI chatbot for advice, then Dr. Ginni broke everyone's heart talking about her grandchildren, who are impossible to just cuddle on a Tuesday. Also: in other people's problems, a listener accidentally flubbed her best friend's job reference. She missed out on the job. Should she confess?

I Made A Woo Woo Deal With The Universe... And It Answered

Sally's gone woo woo and we're here for it. Cath went on a very promising date but the next step split the group chat. Should she she text him? Should she be a beautiful, elusive deer? Or is she simply a Labrador in need of love, reassurance and maybe a Spotify playlist? Also this week: Grace gives a stranger on a plane a tissue, Mary reminds us why showing up for your friends’ good news is deeply underrated, Sally makes little deals with the universe, and everyone tries to process the horrifying news that smoking might be back.

So, What’s This Show All About?

The antidote to the bin-fire of right now. Forget inspirational life coach energy. Forget toxic positivity. This is the show for the woman who is tired of being a human doormat, sick of being told to get in the bin, and currently eating her body weight in Greek yogurt because someone on Instagram said protein is the answer and honestly...to what? From the brain (and slightly unhinged vision board) of Mia Freedman comes a podcast that’s not inspirational even in the slightest. You don’t need to learn anything or remember anything either. Just turn up. Join your smartest, most brilliant friends; Sally Hepworth, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam, Cathrine Mahoney, and Dr Ginni Mansberg for a bit of distraction, some helpful things, and a laugh. Produced by Mia Freedman, who now owns a hat with PRODUCER written on it in very large font. Launching Feb 3. New eps every Tuesday. Tell your group chat. Send it to your sister. Recommend it aggressively to the friend who says “I don’t really listen to podcasts”. She's an idiot. Follow the chaos on Instagram: @unleashed.show Follow on Apple Podcasts and Spotify And if you are ready to get unhinged with us, leave a review. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
