Life Uncut

Hey Lifers! First up we've got some life updates: apparently we are doing a live show tour (was news to producer Keeshia), Britt is making us all move to Adelaide and Laura's lady part is going to cross fit. On a more serious note, Britt is having a skin treatment to help prevent skin cancer and this is our reminder to please book your skin check.   Today we're taking a big deep dive into immediacy culture how the expectation of instant gratification has changed our expectations of our relationships. We are joined by psychologist Sandy Rea to explore strategies for developing self-control and delayed gratification, as well as ways to help our kids navigate the world of tech & being handed everything with the click of a button.

Hey lifers! Welcome to your little therapy session where we unpack some dilemmas going on in your life. First up, there's a woman who has cheated her way to the podium and it's just so funny, we must discuss! Vibes for the week: Laura: Matty J's new podcast that you can listen to here Britt: Netflix mini series "American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing Then we jump into your questions: At what point does thinking about an ex go from curious, where you look at their social media etc to see what they've been up to, to unhealthy? Is it weird to cut your toenails in the shower? My partner and I argue about this all the time! He likes to cut his toenails in the shower so the clippings go down the drain. I get a massive 'ick' from this and would much rather he cut them straight into the bin! One-on-one dinners with my long-term boyfriend are awkward. We spend a lot of our time together, so when it comes to a sit down, across from each other, I find that at times we have nothing to talk about! Does anyone else feel this way? If you have a question you'd like us to unpack, send it to us on Instagram Join the Facebook group Follow us on Tiktok And tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers! First up today, it's Laura's weekend from hell, and to top it all off she's been deeply offended by her own offspring.  We then asked you what's the most awkward thing you've said during sex and it turns out we all need a class in 'sexy-talk'. Then we are joined by the hilarious Joanne McNally! Joanne is an Irish stand up comedian and the host of podcast juggernaut 'My Therapist Ghosted me.' In this episode we have a very unfiltered chat (Joanne wouldn't have it any other way) about what led her to comedy, being adopted, her non-existent pelvic floor and wild dating past. We also take a bit of a deep dive behind the scenes of how our personal lives shifted after starting podcasts and everything becoming public content.  If you'd like to check out Joanne's touring schedule, see more here! https://www.joannemcnally.com/ Are you a Lifer?

Hey lifers, Ever wanted to be frightened to death to a proposal? Neither! But this guy thought it was the perfect, romantic plan! Vibes and unsubscribes for this week: Laura vibe- Country Road bike shorts Britt Unsubscribe - Coachella Then we jump into your deep, dark and dirty questions: 1. My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. However, I often think about the time I slept with his younger brother one drunken night, only 2 weeks before my boyfriend and I started seeing each other. I don’t know if my boyfriend knows this happened, I certainly haven’t told him and I’m unsure if his younger brother has either. Do I tell my boyfriend about the one time we slept together? I’m not sure how he’d react and if he finds out later down the track… but given he may already know, is the fact neither of us have ever brought it up weird? 2. I’ve been with my partner for 6 years and we have a 12-month-old. Today he had a serious talk with me about being present and my phone usage. He works full time and I’m the primary caregiver. When he gets home, I get to have a break, so I enjoy my time going on tik tok and Instagram. I feel all the mum guilt right now. Am I being a shit mum? How do I approach this? 3. There is a girl that I used to be quite good friends with. Not best friends, but close. Her and I had a falling out about a year ago. It resulted in me blocking her on social media because of some really nasty things I found out she had said about me. I’ve been trying to get pregnant for about a year and a half now. I’m having blood tests and trying to work out why my partner and I can’t seem to fall pregnant. Over the weekend, I saw some mutual friends post that this girl I used to be friends with was pregnant. They were at what looked like an early baby shower for her. I am livid. To the point where I understand it’s possibly irrational but I can’t help how I feel. It is the only thing I have been able to think about. I’m so angry that this person who was horrible to me seems to get to have the one thing I want most in the world. Do you have any advice on how I get over this jealousy? I’m a mess and I don’t feel like I can say this to any of my friends because I understand how horrible it is that I am reacting this way.

Hey Lifers, First up, Britt's back from Scotland and has an update on the psychic reading she received. Laura needs to teach Matt a thing or two about tampons and we asked you the sneakiest way they did the dirty on you! On today’s podcast we have the wonderful Hugh Van Cuylenburg. Hugh has joined the podcast before. He is the founder of the resilience project. In this episode Hugh speaks about why he has stopped telling the story of the resilience project, mental fatigue and who owns vulnerable stories.We speak about shame, seasons of our lives and thinking we want things other than what we actually have.  Hugh’s mission is to help people understand that being vulnerable is a strength, not a weakness. He believes that by embracing vulnerability and building resilience, we can navigate life's challenges with greater ease and positivity.

Hey Lifers! First up today we are sharing a beautiful story that happened within our facebook discussion group community. The kindness of Julia during a time where a family felt so vulnerable is something that ought to have you smile. You can join the facebook discussion group here - Join the Facebook group! Then we are unpacking whether the OnlyFans billboard ad is 'a bit much' or whether it's all power to ya! At the very least, this has got to be one of the most successful marketing tactics we've seen because every news site (and cmmm us) are talking about it! Interested to hear your thoughts on this one. Vibes for the week!Britt- Netflix's Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling NowLaura- App 'Timetree'.  Then we unpack your questions. Is it rude to tell someone in person at the end of a first date that you aren't interested in seeing them again? Even if you know that you're not interested, should you wait until later to send a message or ghost? My husband (who I truly love) makes a weird breathy sound when he sleeps. It wakes me up. I have said that I want to sleep in the spare room and he seemed really offended. What do you think? My partner has a piece of jewellery that his ex bought for him. He still wears it. Firstly, is it silly that I care about this? Secondly, can I buy him a piece of jewellery to replace it or is that weird? Follow our Instagram and our Tiktok!

Joining us today is Dr Ali Walker. Ali is  a Human Connection Scientist with a PhD in group dynamics. She has spent a large part of her adult life wanting to understand more deeply why we seem to 'click' with certain people and 'clash' with others. It's likely you've heard of introversion and extraversion, but Ali's research goes a step further and helps us understand how we connect with certain people; it's through two frameworks she labels 'frequency' and 'intensity.' We were so interested in how this can be applied to our romantic relationships. friendships and even our workplace relationships. Do 'opposites' actually attract? Turns out no, and that would likely lead to a bad relationship. Ali unpacks exactly how alike we should be with our romantic partners! We also unpack the three different types of loneliness and how you can be surrounded by people but still feel lonely. You can get more of Dr Ali Walker's research and her new book "Click or Clash' here https://awalker.co/ We also unpack the new doco by Brooke Shields called 'Pretty Baby' (on Disney plus) and the hypersexualisation of children in pop culture.  Maybe things haven't changed as much as we think they should have.

Hey lifers! Welcome to ask uncut where we unpack your dirty (and clean) dilemmas!Britt is calling it in from Scotland and Laura would like to know if there is anything you are passionate enough about to forgo the use of a bathroom. The questions we dive into today are: -When does 'public' photography cross the line of privacy? Do people have the right to be taking photos of other people without their consent to build a profile under the guise of lifestyle photography? -I've been with my partner for 1.5 years. He is very attractive, however, when it comes to sex I'm not attracted to him. The whole experience does not turn me on. It's a classic jackhammer. What's worse is that he thinks our sex is good. Everything else is great but I don't know how to speak about this with him. -I've been with my partner for 11 years. We have a 1 year old. I've been on maternity leave since our baby was born. I absolutely loved my job and was getting further in my career. I'm unable to return to work because of child care. Some days he says it's 'his responsibility to be the worker and I'm lucky to be at home with our baby.' If we were to switch, we would earn similar money but he's closed off to the idea. How do I navigate this? If you've got a question you'd like us to unpack, send it over to our DMs Join the Facebook group! Follow our Instagram and our Tiktok!

Welcome to therapy. We're here to unpack your deep, dark and burning questions. First up today, Mitch Churi and Britt didn't get married on the weekend. They've been working on a project together! We unpack a horrible new dating term/trend called chadfishing. Have you ever been chadfished before? We want to know! Today the questions we are diving into are: My best friend is about to have her first child. I am very much childfree by choice. I think she's naive in thinking that nothing will change when the baby comes. When we organise to hang out, how can I ask her not to bring the kid? I've just found out that my mum cheated on my dad years ago while they were still married. They divorced a while ago and my dad now has a new partner. I am closer with my dad than my mum. Should I tell him about my mum's affair even though it was a long time ago and they're already divorced? I was a bridesmaid at a wedding over the weekend and got pretty drunk. At the afterparty I fell into a threesome with the MC (who is the groom's brother) and his girlfriend. Somehow everyone knows. Do I need to apologise to the bride and groom? I don't regret the threesome but I do regret it happening after their wedding Can you ghost your hairdresser? I have changed hair salons but I follow my old one on instagram and she follows me. I want to post from my new salon because it's really nice and I love my new hair so I want to share it, but I'm worried I will hurt my old hair dresser's feelings.  If you have a question for ask uncut, or anything you'd like to send us, please send it over to us @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

Hey Lifers, Today we kick off the episode by celebrating Laura's 37th birthday! She's got some feelings about turning 37 and they're not the feelings that you might expect. We talk about judging parents of young children for allowing them screen time and have a bit of a silly discussion about why we view women's sex toys as 'empowering' but men's sex toys as gross and creepy! Then we are joined by the wonderful Kellie Finlayson. Kellie Finlayson was 25 and had a beautiful 3 month old daughter with her partner Jeremy, when their world turned upside down. Kellie was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer.After spending a large part of her daughter's life in hospital and a horrific experience with chemo, Kellie beat her cancer. But then months later Kellie found out that her cancer had spread to her lungs. Kellie is now on a mission to spread awareness of bowel cancer, especially in young people.  You can follow her journey here: https://www.instagram.com/kelliefinlayson_/ If you loved the episode, please share it with someone you care about, particularly if they've been dismissing a health concern that they've got.

Welcome to Ask Uncut, where we answer all of your deep, dark and dirty questions. First up today, we'd love to know, if you are single or if you were single, would you be open to wearing a particular ring to indicate that you were single and open to being approached IRL?We've got mixed feelings and wonder whether it may become as mainstream as online dating. Question 1: When I was on a night out with a friend, I met a guy. His friend invited my friend and I back to his apartment. Our physical intimacy progressed throughout the night and we got very close, only I didn’t sleep with him because of a weird gut feeling that something was off. I gave him my number and we said we couldn’t wait to go on a date to spend some time together. The next day, I found his Instagram. His tagged posts have a wedding video of him and his beautiful wife. I clicked on her profile and it shows they’re still married. I feel disgusted with him and myself. My question is, do you think the wife has a right to know and should I be the one to tell her?  Question 2: I'm 26 and have been with my boyfriend for 2 years.   I've decided I want to move to Australia for 1 year. He has said that he would be keen to come with me. He's great, kind etc, but I'm not sure he is the one! Should I allow him to move to the other side of the world with me if I'm not 100% sure about him or should I break it off for a fresh start even though I'm not sure if I want to break up? Question 3: If your partner has 'made' the decision that it is time to go to sleep, e.g. lights off, phones down, do both of you have to put the devices down, turn the lights off and go to sleep? If you have a question, send it over to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joining us on the podcast today is Grace Beverley. Grace is now 25, and she's already been on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. She created a huge following on instagram by wanting to be held accountable with going to the gym. She has turned that into two incredibly successful businesses. In this chat we talk about: -Building a business from the ground up Pivoting an audience into customers -How funding works -How much privilege comes into being a 'success' -Being taken seriously in the business world We also speak about the difference that a 2023 lens puts on the way we used to look at 'empowering' women in 2006 and how P!nk used Paris Hilton's sex tape as humiliation. You also gave us the most savage break up texts that you've ever received and your exes sound like garbage! If you haven't already, we'd love a cheeky review on apple pods or a star rating on spotify. Hit follow and all of the other stuff.

Welcome back Lifers and Lovers, Today we start by unpacking whether it's the responsibility of the interviewee to hold up the conversation if the interviewer isn't doing a great job. Hugh Grant is being slammed for his interview with Ashley Graham, and we might be in the minority on this one. The vibes of the week are: Britt: Omnilux LED mask https://bit.ly/3YPN69k Laura: Kath Koschel's book 'Kindness' https://bit.ly/3YMsrTt Kath's episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/life-uncut/id1472126503?i=1000590088293 The questions we tackle today are: -When is it okay to be someone’s second choice? Context- I met this guy 5 years ago and we followed each other on instagram. Fast forward and we went on a nice date a few weeks ago. The following week I got a message saying that he had such a great time and really liked me, but his ex had been in contact and he felt as though things weren’t finished between them. Fast forward again, it’s been two months and he’s messaged saying that things are well and truly finished and that he’d like to go out again. Would you go? -I had a sex dream about my boss and now I can’t stop seeing him in a sexual way. He is single but there would be what I guess you’d say a power in balance between us. Should I put out some feelers and see if he maybe sees me in the same way or am I asking for trouble? I’m not sure if it’s just a bit of a hot fantasy or if maybe we actually could work in a relationship. We have a lot in common and I know that a lot of people meet their long term partners at work -How can I distance our relationship without ruining it? I have a half-sister & we did not grow up together. Initially I loved the idea of having a sister, but she wants the type of relationship where we text all day, call a few times a week, and basically give a play by play of our day and our lives. It's exhausting and not who I am.

Hey Lifers! You might have noticed a sneaky little bonus episode drop into your feeds on Friday! We released the meaty, juicy part of today's episode on Friday to line up with Adam's media schedule! So today's episode is a bit of a laugh!First up, Laura was recognised at potentially the worst place imaginable...enter the gastroenterologist. We unpack a study that found that women have one of three types of orgasms: -The ocean wave,  -The volcano or  -The avalanche. We also asked you what 'thing' you got into because the person you were into liked it and our advice is steer clear of any sports that go for more than 2 hours... We got to sit down with Adam Lambert and have a big ol' chat that you can find here: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-king-of-queen-uncut-with-adam-lambert/id1472126503?i=1000603487506 Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
