‘I Was An Ugly Child’ & The 5-Second Underthinking Rule

‘I Was An Ugly Child’ & The 5-Second Underthinking Rule

She's had her childhood photo used in an "ugly" meme that's all over the Internet. So why isn't host Clare Stephens upset about this dissing of her younger self?

Also: "You called me, you speak first". Does Gen Z really answer the phone with... nothing?

And, just literally do things. That's the message here to challenge the recent cultural domination of the 'overthinking introvert'. In all kinds of areas of your life, is it always better to underthink, jump fast and have a bias to action, like our self-help overlord Mel Robbins? And why is it easier for some people than others?

Plus, Holly's midlife tattoo. Crisis or confidence? And why LinkedIn is cutting Tinder's grass on the matchmaking front.

All this unpacked and shaken upside down by Clare, Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright on today's Mamamia Out Loud.

27 Minutes Of Awesome

27 Minutes Of Awesome

The Bachelor used a woman’s sexuality as clickbait. Fair game, or too far? We speak to Moana Hope to find out what she thinks, and why she’s such a mad Bach fan. Plus, it’s time we talk about what Germaine Greer said to Jessie Stephens last week. And according to science, there’s a 27 minute morning routine that says it will change your life, but we call bullshit.

Scrambled Jade Eggs And Serena

Scrambled Jade Eggs And Serena

Everyone is wondering what happened to Serena Williams over the weekend. The 36-year-old was in the grand final of the US open when she received a warning for allegedly taking instructions from her coach. What happened next has been described as a tantrum, an outburst, even a moment of hysteria. But was Serena right or wrong? Plus, Gwyneth Paltrow is in trouble for telling women to stick jade eggs in their hoo-ha, and wedding dresses now have pockets. What a time to be alive.

Mean Girls Come In Threes

Mean Girls Come In Threes

Has The Bachelor just glorified bullying or done the opposite and highlighted some shocking behaviour? Romy and Cat might have left the Mansion, but they're still all anyone can talk about. Jessie thinks she knows why. Plus, is it ever acceptable to add your boss on Facebook? And, are a whole generation of women being led to believe parenting and having a career is doable?

When Jessie Stephens Met Germaine Greer

When Jessie Stephens Met Germaine Greer

This podcast will deal extensively with the subject of rape and won't be appropriate for all listeners. If this podcast does bring anything up for you then please call 1800 RESPECT. When people think of feminism, they think of Germaine Greer. Her manifesto The Female Eunuch was released in 1970 and is still shaping conversations 48 years later. But what happens when an icon - whose job it is to be provocative - exists in a culture of outrage? Most recently, the release of her Melbourne University press book On Rape has led to an onslaught of headlines condemning her brand of feminism and questioning her relevance in 2018. And she joins Mamamia Out Loud co-host Jessie Stephens to talk about it in this very special episode...

Dead Fish Before Breakfast

Dead Fish Before Breakfast

Holly had a rough morning. One of her kids fish died and things got ugly. But that aside, we’ve got a lot to talk about. Like how many outfits do you need for your own funeral? Aretha Franklin HAD FOUR. Plus, with the last grand slam tournament taking place for the year, we need to talk about female tennis players outfits. It seems a lot of people have opinions on what women wear on the court, but is it really that big of a deal? And what happens when dads and daughters disconnect?

Crazy Brides And Bad Bosses

Crazy Brides And Bad Bosses

Have you ever wondered why some of your colleagues aren’t that good at their jobs? There’s a reason and it’s called the Peter Principle. Plus, to quote Annabel Crabb, this time last year Julie Bishop was the most powerful woman in Australian politics. Now she’s a backbencher who may duck out of politics first chance she gets.
