    Horny women

    Horny women

    What if your appetite for sex was insatiable? Would you love to be boning every day, multiple times a day?  

    There's this idea that it's men that are always lusting after sex. But guess what? Women can be horn dogs too! But that horniness often comes with the label "slutty". 

    Yumi Stynes chats to women who are relishing their pleasure and enjoying plenty of orgasms while they’re at it.

    Hey Yumi! Am I a bad mum?

    Hey Yumi! Am I a bad mum?

    When you’re stuck in the daily grind of working-mum life, sometimes it can be hard not to feel like a shitty mum.  

    School lunches, getting them dressed (FFS), raising good humans, endless meetings – it's exhausting and soul-destroying. 

    Yumi has some advice to ease the mum-guilt, when your heart is being yanked in opposite directions and backing away from work isn’t an option.  

    If you’ve got a problem that not even your girl gang can help you solve, let us take on the burden! Send an audio note to ladies@abc.net.au

    BEST OF — Burnout

    BEST OF — Burnout

    Yumi has been cheeky and stolen the keys to the ABC archive to bring out one of our favourite episodes. Life is tiring. The cozzi livs, the constant merry-go-round of caring and work and chronic stress can be overwhelming. For some, this relentless pace can lead to burnout.

    Have you ever been the "other woman"? Email us!

    The "other woman" has been demonised in pop culture, but is it time we learnt to understand her choices rather than judge her for them? 

    Hey Yumi! My prolapse is a problem

    Hey Yumi! My prolapse is a problem

    If you’ve carried a baby, you may have had to deal with the fall out (literally) of pelvic prolapse. But having your organs pop out of your vagina isn’t limited to mammas, getting older is also a big factor.

    Rosie’s mum died. She’s kind of relieved

    Rosie’s mum died. She’s kind of relieved

    Rosie Waterland’s mum was, to put it mildly, chaos personified. Charming and caring one minute, abusive and cruel the next.  

    This year, she died. A moment Rosie was strangely prepared for. But her mum’s death left her to contend with the conflicting emotions of grief and relief. 

    Yumi Stynes sat down with Rosie for a heart to heart about growing up with an abusive parent, grieving and coming out of the other side of childhood trauma.
