The Performative Friendship Group

Does anyone want to see Serena Williams Vs John McEnroe on centre court? We'd pay to see that. After the former tennis tantrum-thrower said Williams would get beaten by men, we ask; is it even fair to compare women and men's sport? Ed Sheeran put his girlfriend to the test and we’re not sure how to feel. Female Tradies have been slammed by people saying their service is sexist, and we have the perfect response. And is putting rich CEO's in "homeless" situations poverty porn? Plus, if you missed the Census, good news about those pesky census fines, and this tax time, claim what's rightfully yours, including a new handbag. (And if you're a footballer, rest easy, your on-field altercations are all tax-deductible). Plus - we are living in the age of anxiety. What the hell is going on? And what can you do if someone you love is in crisis?

It's the middle of the year which means two things; your social media feed is about to be taken over with shots of friends on holidays, and to rub salt into the wound, it's time for your yearly performance review. Don't worry, we got you. Jessie has a solution for the non-holiday blues, and if you're sniffing around for a pay rise we speak to Shark Tank's Janine Allis about what bosses really want to hear. Plus, mothers who regret becoming mothers. The unspoken reality for some women has this week bubbled to the surface. Is it a necessary conversation, or should it remain unsaid? The 16 year old who will remind you of that time when you felt invincible. And dogs in public. Dogs in shops, in hairdressers, in cafes, at the gym, and in the workplace. When did dogs become equal to humans in public spaces? Show notes Your host is Monique Bowley with Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens Mia Freedman is away this week.

What are women talking about this week? Us. Mia Freedman addresses her podcast interview with Roxane Gay. Meanwhile, controversy abounds over charity beanies and Gwyneth Paltrow is running a $1500-a-ticket wellness seminar where we can drink bone broth and talk about our churning guts. Melania Trump has moved into the White House, where she's about to find out that the reno restrictions are tougher than The Block. We have a fascinating listener question from a woman who, when she sold something on Gumtree, accidentally made a new friend, but she isn't sure she really wanted to. Jessie Stephens has an airport purchase that you'll actually want, and grab your shower pouffe and take a deep breath, Monz has the essential Spotify playlist for crappy times.

Regular listeners to Mamamia Out Loud will know that our glorious host and Executive Producer, Monique Bowley, has been away from her usual seat. On this episode update ahead of tomorrow's "normal" show, she talks about where she has been. Monz, Mia and Jessie discuss the reality of going through such an "ordinary" tragedy, one that thousands of women can relate to, but no-one wants to discuss. Monz talks about the guilt she can't shake, what has helped her through the last few weeks and what really hasn't. And please, just join us in giving Monz the biggest audio hug you can muster.

If you light your scented candles with a regulation 'man match', you're doing it all wrong...a company has invented a female only lighter, and Mia needs one right now. In the wake of the terror attacks in London, Sydney, and Paris, we're all asking ourselves: are we suffering from terror fatigue? And the outrageous image of Kathy Griffin holding Donald Trump's severed head has been littered across our news feeds all week long, but did the US comedian really cross a line?

Have you heard? Schapelle Corby is home. She’s even on Instagram. And possibly has more followers than you. While the media go into a frenzy to find her, it begs the question - should we leave Schapelle alone? Plus, there’s a Baywatch movie, (yes, we know - Baywatch) starring Zac Efron but all anyone can talk about are his ginormous muscles. Are men subjected to the same ridiculous body standards as women? And should Margaret Court’s name be taken off the arena in Melbourne?
