    The Family Ritual That Has Us Divided

    It’s a public holiday Monday for some, but because we love you, we’re not leaving you high and dry.  We’ve picked a conversation straight from the Outlouders Facebook group that had everyone unpacking their own family dynamics: the dreaded – or in some cases beloved – family group chat. Holly, Clare and Em are diving into a dilemma from an Outlouder who has implemented a ‘new regime’ called The Sunday Roast. The rules? Every Sunday, every family member must text their weekly highs and lows along with three photos. No explanations needed, but follow-up questions are mandatory. So, is this a beautiful way to keep the family connected, or an administrative nightmare that makes you want to tap out?  Plus, we have some bonus reccos and things we can't stop thinking about including micro-holidays, ‘Monthly 10s’ by Julianna Salguero and Nagi’s Miso Eggplant recipe.

  7. The Most Brutally Honest Questionnaire We've Ever Seen

    24 APR ·  VIDEO

    The Most Brutally Honest Questionnaire We've Ever Seen

    It took the deliciously unhinged creative genius of Miranda July to invent a dating questionnaire that asks the questions no one else is brave enough to ask. Forget your height or if you like 'long walks on the beach'; Em is looking at the prompts that actually reveal your soul, like a photo of your bookshelves, your messy bed, or a screenshot of your ex describing you via text. So, what would you ask, to really get to know someone? And is the secret to finding love just showing someone the inside of your fridge? There’s a name for that 'meh' feeling you have after a day at work: Office air. Thanks to a smart TikTok creator, Clare has finally figured out why we all look like 'sick Victorian children' by the time the clock strikes five.  Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman is currently on a promo circuit, but she isn't talking about her latest film. Instead, she’s opening up about her desire to become a death doula after the devastating loss of her mother. So Holly’s asking: What is a death doula? Why don’t work and caring and basically, life, stop for you to deal with losing a loved one? And how do we get better at understanding that the loss of a parent - even at an age deemed ‘appropriate’ - is often completely unmooring.  And finally, according to Vogue, nobody’s getting their nails done any more. 🔷 DID YOU KNOW?

    SUBS: Is WFH Bad For Women?

    Is working from home actually a ‘career killer’ for women? In this subscriber episode, Mia, Holly and Em are diving into the comments made by Skims co-founder Emma Grede which have sparked a massive debate. The Kardashian whisperer and multi-millionaire businesswoman reckons being physically present in the office is non-negotiable if you want to climb the ladder. So, what is the ‘proximity bias’  and does it still matter in the modern workplace in 2026? Plus, we unpack whether we’re losing our in-person skills by communicating through screens instead of face-to-face. Also, we get real about the structural issues that make traditional office hours so hard for parents. (Hello, 3pm school pickups) And, from laundry to sick kids, why does working from home often mean women take on more of the invisible household labour? We discuss.
