Celebrity Diets And Other Truly Terrible Ideas

As we’re nearing the end of the year, a much-contested topic is making headlines yet again. The second draft of the religious discrimination bill has been released and it’s raising a very important question. What will this bill look like in the real world and what does it mean for non-religious people? And, is it really that sad to be spending Christmas alone? Rachel joins today’s show and asks why pity is the response she gets when she tells people she’ll be alone at Christmas. Plus, what’s better than hearing life advice from people who’ve been around a long time? We’re closing the last regular Mamamia Outloud show with some words of wisdom.

With Boris Johnson winning the UK general election, a washed-up reality TV star becoming the president of the US, and Scott Morrison winning against all poll predictions, it feels like we’re all living in a bubble at the moment. So, how is it that we still find ourselves shocked, and what can we learn moving forward? And an anonymous listener is fed up with her mother-in-law and wants to know what Jessie, Mia and Holly think. Should she be drawing some boundaries or accepting the relationship for what it is? Plus, what on earth is an Instagram face? Jia Tolentino wrote a feature for The New Yorker this week, and it’s all about the prevalence of one specific face. How has our relationship with beauty changed in a world where we’re photographed more than ever before? And haven’t women always had a complicated relationship to beauty standards?

Last Sunday, rapper, singer, and positive body movement championer Lizzo was snowed with positive and negative reactions after she rocked up to a sports game in an “assless” dress. Holly asks, had it been Taylor Swift in the same situation, would the reaction have been the same? And, now that party season is here, what is the best way to strike up a conversation with uncle Greg (we all have one, apparently)? For most of us, small talk can be so unbearable, so why do we do it and how do we do it better? Plus, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word ‘They’ is 2019’s Word Of The Year. Used as a pronoun for non-binary people, is this recognition that “They” has gone mainstream.

This week, Lem Zakharia fills in for Mia Freedman, and joins Holly and Jessie to discuss where on earth our Prime Minister has been lately. While Jacinda Ardern unites New Zealand in the wake of a devastating natural disaster, Australia’s response has been very different. And, would you consider yourself a giver, a matcher or a taker? It turns out we all fit into one of those categories, and one group excels at work far more than the others. Plus, we’re all very excited that there’s another female world leader. The Prime Minister of Finland, Sana Marin, is making headlines because she’s just 34. It got us thinking, what’s the perfect age to become a leader?

We’re not on our Summer holidays yet, but we know a bunch of people who are...Australian politicians. And it's no wonder they're pooped because it's been a massive couple of weeks in Canberra. If you want a quick wrap of what's been happening and why, Holly has you covered. And are you struggling to find time to factor self-care into your routine? Well, Jessie has some troubling news. Apparently self-care isn't all face masks and mani-pedi's, it also includes doing your taxes and putting together a household budget. Plus, as Christmas is approaching it's time to start thinking about what you're going to buy the men in your life. So why are blokes so hard to buy for and should you just implement Mia's 'let's not worry about a present' rule? And of course, it's Friday, which means it's recommendations time!

When Scott Morrison was elected in mid 2019, it was said to be a victory for the ‘Quiet Australians’. But this week, former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull encouraged us all to be ‘Loud Australians’. What does that actually mean? And what camp do we belong in? And Christmas is becoming increasingly problematic… at least according to Jessie. After a year that’s been all about cancel culture, sustainability, introversion and self care, is Christmas on the brink of cancellation? Plus, Kim Kardashian West is one of the world’s most powerful business moguls. A recent Vulture interview looked at her influence over the last decade, and now we’re all asking: Have we gone mad, or is Kim seriously profound?

Hey Outlouders! We wanted to introduce you to a new podcast we think you're going to love...Overshare. It's hosted by Kelly McCarren, Flex Mami & Lama Zakharia and its like an invite into a private, adults-only group chat. Since you're a fan of this show we know you love conversations that cut the BS and this show gets candid about everything from sex and relationships, career, mental health and of course, general "what the heck am I doing with my life?" questions. It’s smart, it's dumb, it's taboo. It's three women and too much information. If you love it you can subscribe in your favourite podcast app or listen at mamamia.com.au/podcasts.

This week, leggings were reportedly banned at a school in Melbourne, after a teacher suggested they were distracting to boys. So, does he have a point? Or are leggings just pants with a bad reputation? Also, this week Jessie had a near-death experience. And by that we mean she attended John Edward’s Sydney show. After seeing the psychic medium in the flesh she wants to know: Is this a man exploiting people’s grief? Or is he providing closure and peace? Plus, surprise surprise, a twitter fight has erupted and it’s all about friendship. A woman named Melissa Fabello shared a template that looks a lot like an ‘Out Of Office’ message… but for your friends. Is the whole concept a little narcissistic? Or do we all need to get better at drawing clear boundaries?
