LIVING WITH ENDO. Talking endometriosis with Bridget Hustwaite

Hey Lifers! Whether you suffer from it yourself or you’ve got a friend or family member who does, we’re sure you’ve heard that living with endometriosis can be super challenging. We thought we knew what endometriosis was, but as it turns out, there’s a lot of misinformation and misunderstandings about endo. Endometriosis currently affects 1 in 9 Australians assigned female at birth (and 176 million people worldwide) but diagnosis takes on average 7 - 12 years. After years of dismissive doctors a...

The night my sister was killed. Talking domestic violence with Bianca Unwin

Lifers, today we have one of the toughest but most moving interviews that we have ever aired. Meet Bianca, the sister of a beautiful woman named Katie who was murdered by her partner 3 years ago. This type of harrowing story seems to be all too common in Australia at the moment, and we feel as though the only way to change the domestic violence landscape is to speak about it. What started as “the happiest” Katie’s family had ever seen her, led to what they described as ‘childish jealousy’ and ev...

MAFS Uncut - The low down with Booka Nile

Happy Tuesday Lifers, boy do we have an eye opening doozy for you! We reckon we've spent long enough dissecting, discussing and speculating about the lava filled toxic "experiment" that is Married at first sight. So we thought it was about time we heard it straight from the horse's mouth, we wanted to chat with someone on the inside, so we booked in a chat with Booka Nile (see what we did there?) We chat production, behind the scenes, if the guys on the inside think Bryce had a secret girlfriend...

Stop right now, thank you very much. Talking Boundaries and Self worth.

If you've been watching the absolutely toxic shit storm that is Married at first sight, you'd be correct in saying the "experiment" and the people in it know no boundaries. And whilst the show has produced (a very small number) of success stories, it is basically a show dedicated to teaching us what not to do and how not to act. It led us to this weeks discussion, Boundaries and self worth. What is a boundary? What are healthy and unhealthy boundaries? How do we set them and maintain them and wh...

Happy Thursday Lifers! It's the quick down and dirty episode where we answer your deep and burning questions. Well, we try anyway. Laura takes us down memory lane with a hilarious dating story. Then: -He wants to hang but wont commit to me. But everyone else bores the hell out of me. Do I suck it up and just stay with him to avoid the wet cardboard personalities of all my other online dates? Or do I keep looking for my penguin? -My boyfriend and I are long distance and he always ignores me and l...

HUSTLE CULTURE - The too busy trap

It's Thursday guys but this week due to Britt's loss of voice we had to switch things around so this is our big juicy episode! First up, Britt receives an insta DM that wasn't meant for her. Should cosmetic clinics be telling us all the things that are 'wrong' with us!? We think not. Ahhhh the hustle. The grind. The never ending list of things to do. Sound familiar?

He loves ME... He loves me NOT. TALKING UNREQUITED LOVE

Ever loved someone that didn't love you back?! Samesies. It sucks. It's called unrequited love and if you answered no chances are you're telling a fib, or you may still have that heartbreak ahead of you, lucky you! I say this because research says roughly 98% of the population has been on either one or both sides of an unrequited love. Hey, at least you're not alone! The fact is, there will be times when we have strong feelings toward someone, when we imagine a life with them, when we only think...

Lifers! We literally couldn’t be more excited about today’s episode! We have an incredible guest and we had so much fun with this interview! Also it’s our first male guest (besides Matty J but he doesn’t count) so we wanted to make it a good one!
