  2. One in four

    One in four

    How often do you hear honest stories about abortion in the mainstream media? How often do people talk openly about abortions they’ve had? Today, we’re talking about abortions. Terminating a pregnancy is, still, a lasting taboo. And yet, despite the hushed tones and whispers that we use to discuss it with, between one in three and one in four Australian women have aborted a pregnancy. In this episode, we speak to one such woman - Pip - who is sharing her story in the hopes that it makes you feel a little less alone. Then, we hear from the experts at Marie Stopes Australia about why abortion access is crucial in helping women determine their own future. A trigger warning for this one: this episode deals with issues surrounding abortion and may be triggering for some listeners.

    SOS: My friend's partner is the worst

    Is your friend in a kind-of-shitty relationship and you don’t know what to do about it? Or, have you told a friend before that their relationship isn’t what they deserve? Today, we’re talking about your friend’s crappy relationship. You know, the kind that may not be completely toxic, but a kind that makes them unhappy, that makes you feel like they’re settling, that makes you wonder if you should ever say something to them about it. After all, is it your place to tell someone their relationship isn’t what it should be? Keep up to date with Bumble Australia via their Instagram, @bumble_australia.

  4. The in-laws from hell

    The in-laws from hell

    What the hell do you do if your partner’s parents are - well - kind of the worst? How do you progress with your relationship and the person you love if their family feels like something out of a bad movie? Today, we’re talking about monster in-laws. Yep, the kind you hear about in bad movies and TV shows: in-laws that don’t like you and let you know about it every chance they get. To do that, we’re hearing the stories of two different women - women who probably deserve to be in some sort of monster in-law support group after what they’ve endured.

  5. Body love

    31/12/2020

    Body love

    Do you believe the age-old idea that before you fall in love with anyone else, you first must love yourself? And do you believe that you need to actually love your body, rather than just accept it? Today, we’re talking about a different kind of love… body love. It was Caroline Caldwel who once said: “In a society that profits off your self-doubt, liking yourself is a rebellious act.” Today, we speak to three women - Jess, April, and Olivia - who have three very different experiences with their bodies. And, through these conversations, we asked them: When was the moment the world them their body was wrong? Is loving your body possible, let alone necessary? And how do the women listening enter a new year where their body is something to appreciate, not admonish? Keep up to date with Bumble Australia via their Instagram, @bumble_australia.

    You and your toxic friend

    Have you ever had a friendship turn not just sour… but toxic? Or a friend gradually become something of an enemy - someone you dread seeing, but feel indebted to simultaneously? Today, we’re talking about toxic friends. How do you spot one? And once you know they’re toxic, how the hell do you… well… break up with them? If high school didn’t force you to prune the friendship weeds from your life, your twenties are bound to. Keep up to date with Bumble Australia via their Instagram, @bumble_australia.

    Reclaiming power after sexual assault

    How do you recover from an experience that completely changes your perspective on the world? How do you pick yourself up and heal when someone has tried to steal your agency, your freedom and your sense of self too? Today, we’re talking about reclaiming your power after sexual assault. It’s a heavy one, but a story that is so important to tell. We know that almost 2 million Australian adults have experienced at least one sexual assault since the age of 15. Today, we’re talking to two women - Tegan and Gabby - who have both decided they want to tell their story of assault in order to reclaim power over their own story. A trigger warning for this one: This episode details experiences of sexual assault and trauma and may be triggering for some listeners.

    Ghost busting

    Have you ever been ghosted? Have you ever wondered why the heartbreak feels so much worse when you never have any closure? Or - plot twist - have you DONE the ghosting? Today, we’re talking about ghosting. Yep, the experience of spending all your time, energy and hey - maybe love - with someone only for them to… out of nowhere… completely disappear from your life. Did they die? You ask yourself. Maybe their phone broke? Maybe they just haven’t seen my messages? Or maybe, you begin to wonder… maybe they really don’t want anything to do with me. Today we delve into it all: how ghosting became a phenomenon, how the lack of closure can drive you crazy and mainly, we ask ourselves: What the fuck is with our generation’s inability to send a quick message saying 'HEY! I’m not really that interested anymore'? Keep up to date with Bumble Australia via their Instagram, @bumble_australia.
