SUNDAY SPECIAL: Mia, Holly & The Attack On Teenage Girls

What’s it like giving birth in the middle of a pandemic in a city that’s locked down? We’re joined by our former host and new mum, Monique Bowley to tell us exactly what happened. Plus, Jessie has a suggestion for how we get better at handling this great big moment of collective grief. And, in case you missed it, Brad Pitt has a new girlfriend who is 27. And married. And Holly isn’t happy. THE END BITS Mia wants you to watch I Am Woman on Stan. Holly wants you to watch Black Panther.

Actress, writer and kickass woman Magda Szubanski has been featured in a Victorian ad campaign aiming to encourage Victorians to stay strong and focused during lockdown alongside AFL star Tayla Harris, and The Project’s host Waleed Aly. But some people are describing it as “the most offensive and disgraceful ads ever seen on TV” - so why is that? Plus, have you ever been criticised by a mate unnecessarily? There’s a term for that now, it’s called “constructive bullying,” and we are here to explain it. And, an Instagram post about ashtrays and open beer cans has many people reminiscing about 80s’ childhoods and 80s’ parenting… and it’s giving Mia some feeling.

Holly Wainwright has written a book. Her third book. It’s called I Give My Marriage A Year, and on this very special episode of Mamamia Out Loud we take you inside the pages of it. You’ll hear the first chapter, read by Holly. And then Mia and Jessie will ask Hol everything there is to know about the book. But don’t worry, there aren’t any spoilers. ‘I Give My Marriage a Year’ is about a couple in a relationship that’s on edge. Lou and Josh who have been together for 14 years. They share two kids, a mortgage, careers and plenty of history. Now, after a particularly fraught Christmas, Lou is ready to ask herself: is this marriage worth hanging on to?
