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

Hey lifers!Today we take a deep dive into the controversy surrounding the latest campaign from Balenciaga.When a brand so consistently flirts with provocative content, are we surprised that they cross the line into child exploitation?When towing the line where fashion meets political/social issues and pushes the boundaries of what is and isn't acceptable, when does a brand go too so far that they risk being entirely 'cancelled?'We unpack whether it's plausible for a brand as big as Balenciaga to have not been across these campaign decisions and how they've benefited so much from similar decisions in the past.Then we are joined by the wonderful Logan Ury!Logan is an author and the behavioural scientist at hinge! She joins Britt and producer Keeshia today to talk all things f*ckboys/f*ckgirls and explain how the concept of the sunk cost fallacy can be applied to relationships.You can find everything from Logan (including the newsletter that producer Keeshia raves about) here: https://www.loganury.com/This episode was brought to you by our wonderful sponsor Dr Lewinn's marine collagen peptide + inner beauty range.We know you guys love a discount code so if you jump on to https://www.drlewinns.com.au/ you can use the code UNCUT20 for 20% off all products!T&CS:To participate apply the qualifying coupon code during checkout to receive the 20% discount off order total (including GST).All orders placed with a qualifying coupon code and qualifying Dr. LeWinn's products during the promotional period will be eligible to receive discount.

Hey Lifers!Welcome to your weekly fake therapy session where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions.First up, we want your thoughts on whether it's 'ick' worthy for your date to order a plain glass of milk on a date?We share some of the weirdest things you guys have had people order on dates and *once again* whhhhhere do you guys find these people??Today we are jumping into these questions:-I was married previously for 12 months when I found out that my husband had been cheating on me. I've moved on and have found my penguin, and he keeps on saying things like "this would make a good wedding song" and "that would be a good spot to propose." The problem is I want to spend my life with him but I don't know if I want to get married again.-I tend to get the 'ick' on about 50% of first dates. I message them saying "thank you but I don't see it going anywhere." My friends believe in the 2 date rule and think I should always give it a second chance. Do you believe in the second date rule?-I'm in a long term, committed relationship and I found out that my partner has a saved message on snapchat with a girl that read "I wish I didn't have a girlfriend so that I could see your onlyfans. I don't have a problem with him wanting to see that, but when I brought it up with him he completely denied it and said it didn't exist and he didn't send the message. Except I know that he did. It was at 5:30pm on a Monday. What should I do?We'd really love to do a wrap up of the year with an ask uncut aftermath so if we've ever answered one of your questions, we'd LOVE to know what happened next. Please send them in to our instagram at @lifeuncutpodcast!You know the drill, 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!Welcome to your therapy Thursday - today we've got some questions that not only do we disagree on, but they're also beyond the norm!Producer Keeshia is filling in as Laura enjoys her week in newlywed bliss.Your questions that we are jumping into today are:-I was made redundant from my dream job, my partner left me and I'm living back at my parent's house. How do I pull myself together when I feel like I'm at rock bottom and have no motivation to do anything?-Should I tell my cousin that he is actually my half brother? My mum donated her eggs but the family drifted apart and they never told him. I've recently learned that we are genetically siblings and I don't know whether to keep the secret or to tell him.-My love language is physical touch & my boyfriend is religious and does not want to have sex before marriage, which I respect. But I feel rejected and question whether he's attracted to me. He feels guilty touching me and doesn't sleep well next to me. What can I do?If you are one of the little scallywags that love listening to the pod and haven't left us a review yet, you can leave us a review on apple or a star rating on spotify!Keep sending your ask uncut questions into our DMs at 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,Producer Keeshia is filling in today because Laura is a bit busy doing something kind of important… just getting married!! Britt might be hesitant about sharing a bed with Keeshia after the last encounter at Laura’s hens.Today we jump in by unpacking the return of the ‘heroin chic’ trend. We talk about how society’s ideals of what constitutes the ‘perfect’ figure have shifted so much over the course of time and how it’s been left undissected and not called out until now.It’s really only now that more nuanced conversation is happening about our body shapes and how we need to unsubscribe from this deeply problematic narrative. Then we jump into your questions!1.    Can you date your ex’s acquaintance?2.    I constantly check up on my partner’s ex on social media. I feel like a loser but I can’t seem to stop looking at her and comparing myself3.    Can I ask everyone to chip in $40 to come to my 30th birthday? There will be some food and a bar tab If you’d like to vote for us at the Australian podcast awards, we’d love you forever!!You can do that here: https://australianpodcastawards.com/vote You know the drill, 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.
