Life Uncut

Happy Tuesday Lifers! We’ve done some big episodes of late regarding egg freezing, fertility and IVF, so we decided it was the perfect time to get someone in that can talk about it first hand. So this week we are chatting to Fiona Falkiner and her fiancé Hayley Willis!Australia first fell in love with Fiona when she graced our screens many moons ago as a contestant on the biggest loser. She then went in to host the show and to forge a very successful career as a model both locally and internationally.Fiona is now in her third trimester after undergoing IVF (but not before they had a few attempts at home on their own ;) ) Hayley is a very well respected sports journalist working in a male dominated industry. We chat all things life before they met, career highlights and lowlights, how body image has changed in the industry, the moment Fiona realised she in fact was more interested in women than men, navigating coming out to their friends, family and Australia, dating in the public eye and of course their fertility journey.You can find the girls @fionafalkiner @hayley__willisIf you loved the episode please hit subscribe, 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, be love love xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This podcast episode discusses sexual assault, coercive control and living in a cult, This may be triggering to victim survivors. If you need help or someone to talk to, you can call 1800 RESPECT or visit respect.gov.au.“My name is India Oxenberg. I was in a cult for seven years. I didn't want to be saved,"This is the harrowing opening line to Stan's four-part docuseries that explores the NXIVM cult. The cult started as a US-based self-improvement group, led by Keith Raniere, but in the end the group was exposed for the dark and disturbing cult that it was.For 20 years from 1998 and 2018, Raniere recruited thousands of people under the guise of personal development seminars and self improvement sessions even luring in several celebrities and socialites with the most prolific being Smallville star Allison Mack.Over a long period of time, NXIVM faced a multitude of accusations of systemic sexual abuse of female members by Raniere and members of his inner circle. India was a part of this cult, without knowledge that it was a cult, for 7 years.The last two of which she was a part of a secret sub group within the cult called DOS, which is a Latin phrase that translates to "Master over Slave Women," It was at this point India was expected to engage in sex acts with Keith Raniere, to act as a slave to Smallville star Allison Mack and to be a master to her own two slaves. It was also here that she was held down naked and branded with Keiths initials on her stomach without anaesthetic and while being filmed. We are so grateful to have India join us today to personally tell us her story. How she got involved with the group, what life was life inside, the perpetual yet slow grooming, the coercive control, the manipulation and brain washing, the things she was made to do, the collateral she was forced to put down to ensure her silence. She speaks candidly about when things turned sexual, her inhumane branding and eventually how she found her way out and her life after the cult.You can follow India @indiaoxenbergFollow us @lifeuncutpodcast @brittany_hockley @ladyandacatIf you're one of our scallywags that loves the podcast but hasn't left 5 stars or a review yet, well, we wont hold it against you but also, like, why you do us dirty.Please, subscribe and tell your friends, tell your mum, your cousin and your dog and share the love, because, well, we love love. xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So we decided to chat with a very highly recommended psychic medium - aptly named David the Medium - and see what the future holds for us and well, basically if Brittany will ever find love. Lolz.As a medium David connects with people that have passed over to the other side, meaning he can deliver messages and communicate on our behalf with those that have passed. You’ll have to tune in to see if we had any luck connecting with and loved ones.He also predicts the sex of Laura’s baby and well, we can’t wait to see how that one plays out!!This chat is full of tears, laughter, predictions and inappropriate jokes, all in all it was an eye opening experience so strap on in.If you want to check out David on Instagram and book in a reading for yourself you can find him @davidthemediumDon’t forget to join our Facebook discussion group and follow us on Instagram @lifeuncutpodcastIf you love listening to us you can hit 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, we love love x--See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wandering down Memory lane day 2!Today on "Britt and Laura are taking a mini Christmas break but didn't want to leave you hanging so rehashed some of our older and favourite episodes" we are rolling alllll the way back to Season 1, episode 3. Back when we were brand new little podcast virgins and still working out what buttons did what, but we were determined to share stories and content that would in some way help and change peoples life, even if it was just one person. As this was one of the more popular episodes and was aired so long ago we thought it was time to re share it with all our new listeners!This episode is called "So I dated a sociopath" and it's an episode we often refer back to in our current episodes as it had such a huge impact on Britts life. It also had such an amazing response at the time from listeners saying it helped them through their own tough and toxic times and made them realise that;A) They are not alone and there is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of andB) That this is no way is a reflection on them and there is light at the end of the tunnel,It shaped Britt into who she is today and knowing it is shedding light on situations that aren't often spoken about makes sharing it all the more important.See you soon you big bunch of legends!Remember, If you loved the episode please hit subscribe, 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, we love love. xIf you haven't joined our facebook group, well what on earth have you been doing!?
