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!

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?
