The Shift In Identity After Having A Baby. Uncut with Holly Nicholson

Hey Lifers! Today we are kicking things off with a question of our own. What's the etiquette when a friend or acquaintance asks you for a reference check on one of your exes? Do you completely divulge what you truly think of them, or would you be doing that out of spite?Then we jump into your questions! One of my close friends voted 'no' during the gay marriage plebiscite. My wedding is coming up and I'm in a same sex relationship. Should I invite my friend to our wedding given that she made her opinions of our union known at the time? My boyfriend of 4 years says he wants to wait another 6-8 years before getting married. I want to be married in the next 3 years. How do we 'meet in the middle' when we have different timelines? Can you wear open toed shoes in a workplace? My colleague has gross feet and I hate looking at them If you have a question you'd like answered on Ask Uncut, send it over to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram! Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers, Today we jump in by discussing whether it's justified to be annoyed when people post about their wealth. Is it super cringey or should we check our hesitation towards it? Laura also got her wedding video back from the editors and it had a beautiful song all about falling in love...It just so happened to have lyrics about falling in love with a woman by the name of Matt's ex! Then we are joined by the wonderful Olivia Rogers!Olivia got married. Olivia decided that she wanted to separate from her husband after 8 months of marriage and the Australian media coined the term 'the micro marriage' in response. Here, Olivia talks about her shift in identity of being a wife to being single and how she faced the horrible backlash.She shares how she wished for the problems in their relationship to dissolve once they had made the commitment to be married. She also addresses her deep desire for wanting a baby and how in hindsight it had more to do with filling a void.Olivia was so vulnerable and honest in this chat.You can find her on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/oliviamollyrogers/?hl=en Subscribe/follow the pod incase Laura accidentally publishes the episodes early again! For more follow us on TikTok and insta @lifeuncutpodcast and join the Facebook discussion group! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers,Welcome to your weekly unpacking of dilemmas.Today we kick things off by unpacking whether the whole 'speaking your truth' and being brutally honest can actually be cruel. "No offence but" doesn't always translate. Vibe or unsubscribe this week:Laura - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery on NetflixBritt - Hands free dog leash https://notyourregularpet.com/collections/handsfreeThen we jump into your questions!I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and I am trying to decide on baby names. There is one name that I have loved for years (literally), I had it written down in my notes from 2017 - because I mean, who doesn’t have a list of baby names they love? My best friend’s sister had a baby 18 months ago and named the baby the name I have loved since 2017. I see my best friend’s sister and her baby often… is it bad if I still go ahead and use this name even though I’ll see her and her baby often? … the spelling would be different but it would be the same name. Should I ask her if she’s okay with it?I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and my husband and I have not had sex in weeks. Prior to this we had a very healthy sex life. I’ve brought it up multiple times with him and he’s said that’s it’s difficult to have sex with me when I have such a big tummy. He tries to reassure me by saying I’m beautiful but it’s hard to be sexually attracted to me. I’ve suggested we try other positions where my belly isn’t visible to him which he says “yeah we can try” but still nothing. I also know he often masturbates. It’s already hard to see my body going through all these changes but to also feel undesired by my husband hits even harder. Is it normal for your partner to not want to be intimate with you at this stage in pregnancy? I worry that if we don’t have sex until after the 6 weeks baby is born that there’s going to be an immense pressure on it. I don’t know what else I can do to encourage him - it also is a massive hit to my confidence every time I get shut down for sex.As businesswomen who work incredibly hard, how do you deal with the haters trying to bring you down? I have a business that is pretty successful. I work hard 7 days a week and put my heart and soul into it. Yet one negative review, or people trying to slander our name, and I can’t get it out of my head. How do you cope?If you have a question that you'd like us to unpack, send it in to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to your therapy Thursday where we unpack your questions and concerns, but first we need to get to the important stuff.We asked for you to describe the worst sex you've had in 6 words.A galvanising experience! We've all had one bad one but these take the cake.What the girls are vibing or unsubscribing from this week:Britt: Vibe = new season of BumpUnsubscribing = people not letting you use their binsLaura: Vibe = Big Miracles on channel 9 Today we're unpacking these questions: -I have been seeing someone that I really, really like. Problem is, he's moving back home in a few months and I have no desire at all to move overseas. My question is, should I keep spending my time with him even though I know it's not going to go anywhere?-My fiance and I want to book our wedding date (in 16 months time) on the date that his friend's fiance wants to have her bridal shower... They are planning on getting married 2 weeks after. She is telling me that I am being selfish by trying to book that day when she 'already has plans for that day,' but I think she is being unreasonable so who is in the wrong?-My husband is obsessed with gaming and I feel like it’s becoming an addiction. We’ve discussed it, but he just laughs it off or denies that it’s an issue. He will get home from work and be on his games till well after I’m asleep. I feel like it’s really starting to irritate me and he’s not listening to any of my concerns. What should I do? How can I get through to him to spend less hours playing video games?If you have a question you'd like us to answer send it to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love!! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers! It's our favourite day of the week and boy do we have a big one for you.  First up today, Laura lost her shit at a family on a boat over the weekend but you might agree with her reasons. We unpack why some of y'all are dating people who look like they could be your siblings #siblingsordating and why it may not be as weird as it sounds. Then we are joined by Kelsey Waghorn. Kelsey was a tour guide on Whakaari/White Island - the volcano that erupted in 2019 and claimed the lives of 22 people. Kelsey suffered severe burns to her body, and has had to relearn to walk and become comfortable in her new skin. Kelsey speaks incredibly vulnerably about how it's not the physical recovery, despite that being incredibly challenging, but rather the mental recovery from such a traumatic event that she has found difficult. Kelsey's resilience is inspiring and we feel very fortunate to have spoken with her. You can follow Kelsey's journey here: https://www.instagram.com/kezzelsify/?hl=enJust a little reminder to hit subscribe so that the podcast is in your libraries as soon as we drop an episode. This will avoid bad reception or wifi issues!Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
