The Best Of The Pick Up - This Group Chat Mishap Is The Stuff Of Your Nightmares

Lifers, today we have one of the most serious and most harrowing episodes we have ever done, but it is something we feel is so important to speak about.One in four will experience violence at the hands of an intimate partner and the most dangerous place for a women is in the house. This statistic unfortunately rang true for Dr Angela Jay when she was attacked in her own home by an ex partner. It was 2016 when Angela decided to download tinder and start dating again after ending things with her husband. That is where she met a funny, intelligent, tall dark and handsome man by the name of Paul Lambert. Things started off well, but went downhill rapidly, so Angela ended things. It wasn't long before he would try and kill her.Angela bravely talks us through what happened to her and discusses the signs she missed, life after the attack and where you can go for help if you are experiencing any form of domestic violence or if you need to exit a toxic relationship.If you haven't already join us on insta and our facebook discussion group @lifeuncutdiscussionPlease, hit 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, we love love xIf this conversation brings up any issues for you, or if you just feel like you need to speak to someone, please call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732).

Hey Lifers!Yes it's Thursday but we are delivering you our big, juicy, meaty Tuesday episode today! (blame this weeks episode switcheroo on the fact we thought Laura was going in to labour - valid excuse 😂) but boy do we have a positively good one for you!After Laura's pregnancy scare we talk a bit about... well..... pregnancy and touch on the really wonderful news Dan Andrews recently shared around miscarriage and the solace this change in legislation will bring to grieving women and families.Britt is sharing her egg freezing journey with us all, then it's time for some accidentally unfiltered stories.On the menu today - TOXIC POSITIVITY!What is that you say? Well we are glad you asked!The phrase “toxic positivity” refers to the concept that keeping positive, happy and upbeat are the only feeling you should have and is the right way to live your life. It means only focusing on positive things and rejecting anything that may trigger negative emotions. We are currently seeing this everywhere in life. Sounds great right!?The fact is, when you deny or avoid unpleasant and negative emotions, you actually make them bigger .We unpack that and more so strap in folks.Find us on Facebook at Life Uncut Podcast and on Instagram @LifeuncutpodcastIf you loved todays episode please hit 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, we love love.And also that is what helps us grow so please and thank you we love you. xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Therapy Thursday is here!!  Even though it’s only Tuesday!We very occasionally mix up our weeks programming when life throws us a curve ball annnnnd that’s exactly what happened. Laura’s needed a bit of R & R with this pregnancy, so Britt searched high and low for a special replacement but time was of the essence... sooooo we got Matt. Lolz.Naaa we love having Matt on to give his very wise male perspective on things! This week Britt and Matt chat about picking up in a bar, that is, how to do it and how to give the impression you’re open to it. One poor lass has already been through hell when her fiancé cheated and left her for her cousin (jerk) but now she’s expected to go to their wedding... sorry WHAT!?Talking about your exes on a first date. Is the first date etiquette!? Should it be avoided? Should you be offended if they choose not to talk about it?Christmas is just around the corner and we should be excited to be with loved ones! Unless of course your partner hasn’t invited you... is this as bad as it sounds or can couples do their own thing over the holidays? If you loved the episode please hit 5 starts, leave a review if you’re feeling extra generous and share the love, because, well, we love love xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Then the scene that divided the nation, the boxing match between Sabrina and Nick "honey badger' Cummins, we find out what really went down, along with some other SAS goss of course! Like who she would take into battle if she could only choose one person, and it may not be who you think!Sabrina opens up and talks about her experiences and her thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement and some of the issues she faced growing up. All in all this was such a beautiful conversation and we can all learn a lot from the inspiration that is Sabrina Frederick. You can follow Sabrina @sabzizzleIf you loved the episode you know the drill!

It's that time of the week guys! Where you hit us with your deepest and most troubling problems and we give you our deepest and sometimes troubling answers. JOKES our answers are always very heartfelt, considered and come from a place of love and experience. Today we have an international student whose boyfriend just pulled the pin on their partnership visa, meaning she wouldn't easily be able to stay, but he still wants to be with her. Is this cool? Should she stay? Should she give up? Should she go and marry someone else for a visa!? (Of course not don't be silly that is very illegal) Then a relatively simple yet wildly common question, "How soon is too soon to move on? Should you get under someone to get over someone?" (if the man in question has a last name Hemsworth than yes, the answer is always yes, get under)Then we have a woman that found something in her husband's email that you never want to see. When and how can she confront him, especially when she was searching through his email to start with!We absolutely LOVE ask uncut so please keep your questions rolling in! (literally any topic is welcome) And if you love the episode please share the love, because, well, we love love xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
