No one tell John Laws, but in this workplace, women actually wear pants. This week, we take a look at some other casual sexism from the week. But don't get your frilly knickers in a knot; because it's alllll just a joke. Earlier this year it was Bernard Salt who said Millenials can’t afford houses because they spend too much on smashed avo. Now a millionaire property tycoon says it's our addiction to lattes and the finer things in life that is stopping us stepping onto the property ladder. Does he have a point? There's a new slow-dating app but not everyone is convinced. Bill Gates has answered the all-important question; What's the best age to give your child a smartphone? Plus, we need to talk about the post-baby selfie. You know the one; a bikini shot just days after your placenta plopped out. Is it empowering, or a punch in the guts to other women? Show notes Your host and producer is Monique Bowley with Jessie Stephens and Mia Freedman Jessie does not recommend the movie Snatched Monz feels strange about Big Ballet on Netflix. Is she crazy? Mia recommends new winter PJ's from Cotton On. Thanks to Marie and Aaron, our live studio audience of two.

There are many, many books written by many successful women who talk about how wildly successful they are. Mia Freedman's book is not one of them. In typical Mia style, it's her life laid bare: the mistakes, setbacks, and slip ups. The kind of life lessons you won't see in an Instagram quote. It's helpful, honest, a tome for women who thinks 'am I the only one who feels like this'? Join Mia in conversation with Mamamia's Monique Bowley, Jessie Stephens, and Holly Wainwright. Three women in their 20's, 30's and 40's, who each took something entirely different from the book.Show notes: You can order the book here The Facebook page for the book is here Contact the show: 02 8999 9386 Or send an email or a voice message recorded on your phone to podcast@mamamia.com.au Become a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
