The Woman Who's Never Met A Happy Parent

What did you do before 9am today and did it involve dunking your face in ice at least three times and rubbing the inside of a banana on your skin? If not, join us as we discuss the man with the five-hour morning routine. It's a vibe.

Plus, Chappell Roan has another unpopular opinion: She’s never met a happy parent. Does she have a point?

And, did you know that worrying takes as much energy as climbing a set of stairs while carrying something heavy? We now know exactly why you’re always tired.

    Name One Thing You're Good At

    Name One Thing You're Good At

    Social media is rife with #humblebrags, so why are women crap at talking themselves up in real life? Do you forget things easily? We can now blame "Google brain" for that. We talk paternity leave, dating at the gym, breakfast raves, mouthguards in bed, and who Taylor Swift should choose as her Australian #girlsquad representative.

    Shopping, Masturbating and Candle Making

    Well, they're all hobbies, right? Mia Freedman, Jamila Rizvi and Monique Bowley compare leisure activities and ask: has the internet eaten them all? And shared hobbies with your partner are great but what if you don't want to do their boring things? Would you ban phones at your wedding? A photographer is calling on guests to unplug, but turns out there's a big upside to nuptial screen time. And why university students are desperate to get their hands on baby formula.
