I Pashed Robbie Williams But I Have No Proof

In a time before social media, before camera phones and before anyone could prove anything, one of us had a toilet-line kiss with Robbie Williams. And somehow, that is not even the funniest celebrity story in this episode. Sally says there is a childhood trend directly linked to her declining mental health. Mary once thought she was pregnant at eight years old. Bruna takes aim at the myth that women vanish after 40. And a very spicy problem involving an affair, a soulmate and one dinner table nobody wants to sit at. Plus... Cath never went to a formal, so should we throw her one?

But in this episode from the archives, we're bringing you a different side of Mary.

EXTRA: Bruna Papandrea on Hollywood, Lupus, and The Body Saying No

Does ambition die in midlife, or are we just getting started? And what happens when your drive is as strong as ever, but your body is screaming stop? You know Bruna Papandrea as an absolute powerhouse: a Hollywood super-producer who went from working-class Adelaide to becoming one of the most successful forces in Hollywood, bringing us massive hits like Big Little Lies and Gone Girl. But in this episode from the archives of MID, we're bringing you a different side of Bruna. In this conversation with Holly Wainwright, Bruna strips back the Hollywood glamour to talk about the complex reality of ambition, what it’s like to manage the invisible reality of Lupus, and the brutal hormonal flares that can happen when midlife hits. It’s honest, fast-paced, a little bit raw, and a chance to get to know this industry icon a whole lot better. This episode originally aired on MID.

The Flat Tyre Test And The Appointment Nobody Wants

One missing blazer has triggered a full time whatsapp group situation and Sally is over it. Bruna once went The Godfather on the kindergarten parents and has no regrets. Cath Mahoney never got a formal, never got a corsage, and is still a little bit heartbroken about the taffeta dress she never wore. Sally got a flat tyre and handed the whole mess to her men and felt great about it. Plus the eulogy that broke us.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: Ginni Mansberg Says You're Not Going Mad

If you're a midlife woman - or live with someone who is - this episode is an absolute must-listen. We love Dr. Ginni Mansberg for her no-BS medical wisdom and her completely unfiltered take on women’s health. In this No Filter conversation with Mia Freedman, she strips back the clinical talk to get incredibly real about the chaotic reality of perimenopause and menopause - and the wild things that start happening to your body as early as your late thirties.Ginni's own story is also lean-in interesting: she’s a mum of six to a blended family, is a resident doctor on TV shows like Sunrise and Embarrassing Bodies and is the author of The M Word - a guide to surviving and thriving through menopause and its chaotic little sister, perimenopause.Dr Ginni shares her ultimate survival guide for a phase of life that is either happening right now or coming for you next. This chat is honest, fast-paced and a chance to get the straight-talking advice we all desperately need. This episode originally aired on No Filter.

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.
