Orlando, Meg Ryan's face and the modern digital dilemma
When tragedy strikes where do you find the rainbow? Is lighting our buildings a mark of solidarity with the gay community, or a useless display? It's the modern dilemma of our time: When you hate social media, but you can’t stop looking. Here's how to take control of your scroll. We need to talk about Meg Ryans face...or should we ignore it in the hope that impossible beauty standards just disappear? And in a world of minimalism, where we are all konmaring the crap out of our lives and trying to de-clutter, what are the superflous items that can make your life better? Plus, Ask Bossy on why you should follow your gut instinct, and our 30th party planner responds to last week's question. Show notes Your host is Monique Bowley with Mia Freedman and Kate De Brito Mia recommends Lust and Wonder by Augusten Burroughs Monique recommends Sammy J's playground politics on iview Kate recommends Lucy Clarke's book; My Beautiful Failure.

Confessions, Crocs and Election Day Sausages
Sydney's beachside mansions fell into the water and we are a tiny-bit-not-sad-about it. The unfortunate side effect of yoga and pilates that no one is talking about.

The election is nearing and vegetarians are feeling underrepresented in the sausage sizzles. We explain the Stanford rape and how the ripple effects of this sexual assault case have reveberated across the world. And do you have a good group of friends?
