OutLouders, last week Mia shared the news that after 10 incredible years, she's passing the No Filter baton to Kate Langbroek. Today, we're flipping the script - Mia's in the guest seat, and Kate's asking the questions. When these two powerhouses tried to record this conversation last year, the timing wasn't right. Now, they're diving deep into why — a raw discussion about burnout, grief, and what happens when you finally listen to yourself. This isn't just a story about endings. It's about courage, new beginnings, and the unexpected paths that lead us there. Plus, Kate shares her vision for No Filter's next chapter. Consider this your all-access pass to a conversation between two broadcasting legends. THE END BITS: Listen to more No Filter interviews here and follow us on Instagram here.

"Sorry, can't come. I've got too much work on." We're diving deep into the glorification of hustle culture, examining what a 'balanced' life actually looks like in 2025, and exploring why some of us genuinely love living for the work (no judgement, just questions). 🍿 Your weekend sorted: We've got the new Aussie show everyone's talking about, the American comedy that's giving us joy, and the Oscar contender that's worth every minute of its runtime. Trust us. ✨ And in Best & Worst: Mia has some thoughts about her boobs (spoiler: it's a journey), an icon's empire crumbles, and a TV cancellation has us questioning everything.

Holly's hair is on fire after she fell into a rabbit hole regarding the new 'president' of the USA. And no, it's not Donald Trump. We put a spotlight on Elon Musk and try to answer the question the whole world is asking: WTF?  Plus, Australia's most successful online women are in a huge public feud.

Outlouders, we've just ticked off January for 2025... and who else is already exhausted? Don't worry... us too! So today we are sharing with you an episode of MID that will help you avoid burning out.  Burn-Out, says author Katherine May, is what happens when you repeatedly ignore your own needs. Sound familiar? The first signs are often that you can't focus. Can't read, maybe. Can't sleep, or sleep too much? Can't eat, or can't stop eating? You're Tired All The Time. You have that cold that just won't leave.The cure, everyone says, is simple: Slow down, Darl. But it's not so easy when everyone needs something from you. Author and advocate Katherine May -  creator of the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling books Wintering and Enchantment - thinks that the way we're taught to deal with burn-out is unrealistic for most women, particularly midlife women with overflowing plates. Waking up to meditate is not so easy when you've got lunches to make, work to do, life to live. And let's face it, a world that prioritises productivity hacks isn't exactly championing meaningful rest. So how do you replenish, in 2025, when absolutely everyone's lost their charger?

Today on the pod, we're tackling everything from your wardrobe's existential crisis to if trying hard is ever enough (and yes, there's a connection... sort of). Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack: • The Gen Z fashion police strike again. Another beloved item has been sent to the cells. But we have a defence prepared and we're taking this to the Supreme (Fashion) Court 👩‍⚖️ • A+ For Effort? A viral essay has everyone asking if we should reward trying hard over actually succeeding. Spoiler: It's complicated, and we're all feeling very seen right now. Plus, our recommendations that will enhance your life (massive claim but we're sticking by it). 🌟 Mia's streaming: A show about... bitches? Trust us, it's not what you think. 🌟 Holly's eating: The perfect meal to enjoy while wearing your weighted vest (as one does). 🌟 Jessie's watching: A tear-jerker that requires a tissue warning (and possibly a support group). And we wrap with a Best & Worst so juicy that Mia had to make an announcement about it. Enjoy!

Plus, the neggy dating advice you should almost certainly ignore.  And, we've cracked the code. As it turns out, there's a direct (but chaotic) line from "Jerry! Jerry!

The holiday season can put a lot of strain on relationships. In fact, did you know that January is considered "divorce month"? Relationships break down for so many reasons during this time.  Today we have a special episode for the Outlouder (or a person in your life) who might be going through some relationship things right now, because you're not alone.. even the celebrities are going through it!  In this episode, we unpack a celebrity divorce dilemma about the labor imbalance that can occur for women in their households. Whether or not a couple or both parents can both have "big" careers, the concept of the lead parent and how that role often falls on women. Plus, how does a relationship change when a baby enters the equation? It's a conversation that you will definitely want to hear.  The End Bits:   Listen: The Breakup Text We Got This Week Listen: Listener Dilemma: Escort On A Bucks Night Read: January is 'divorce month'.

Outlouders, in 2025 many people are celebrating the new and making changes for themselves. We've spoken on the show at lengths about the pressures of beauty standards on women in society. To look younger is a conversation that isn't going anywhere.  Which is why today, we are sharing with you a fascinating episode of MID that Holly did last year... because even supermodels have the same thoughts that we do.  Alison Brahe Daddo was THE Australian model of the late 80s, on every magazine cover and on many a teenage girl’s wall. She had a huge career here and overseas. In recent years she became the most honest, interesting voice about midlife and menopause and all the messy challenges it brings us. But in this episode, Holly and Ali get deep about surface stuff. Beauty, whatever it means to us - and let’s be honest, there’s a sliding scale of how much any of us can ever claim to have felt beautiful, at any age - is a beast in midlife. Because how we wear our age on our face and our bodies can feel so important, so crucial to how the outside world sees us, even as we know it’s really the silliest of all our concerns. It often doesn’t feel that way. LINKS:  You can follow Ali on Instagram here. Find her books and other projects here. THE END BITS:  Share your feedback!

While Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term as President of the United States yesterday, it’s Elon Musk who's stealing the show—and the headlines—with a viral clip. So, did he, didn’t he, and should we just pretend we didn’t see it? Meanwhile, in Australia, some women camped outside a bookstore this week for their smut fix, while others are sweet-talking AI in search of digital dirty talk. Welcome to safe sex in 2025—it’s a vibe.

We all know Jessie Stephens has a soft spot for a good thrift find (and by "soft spot," we mean her entire wardrobe probably costs less than your last latte). So today, we’ve got a treat that’ll make her – and you – very happy. Leigh Campbell, host of Nothing To Wear and certified queen of the op shop, sits down with Mia Freedman to spill all the thrifty tea. From uncovering the coolest hidden stores to mastering what some are calling the 'ancient art of thrifting', Leigh shares her best hacks for snagging treasures without breaking the bank. Plus, she reveals the mindset you need to dodge buyer’s remorse (and possibly that sequined jumpsuit you thought you’d wear). If you want to upgrade your style for a fraction of the price, this episode is basically your golden ticket to fashion thrifting heaven. THE END BITS Want to shop the pod?
