How to Start A Brilliant Conversation
Last Sunday, rapper, singer, and positive body movement championer Lizzo was snowed with positive and negative reactions after she rocked up to a sports game in an “assless” dress. Holly asks, had it been Taylor Swift in the same situation, would the reaction have been the same? And, now that party season is here, what is the best way to strike up a conversation with uncle Greg (we all have one, apparently)? For most of us, small talk can be so unbearable, so why do we do it and how do we do it better? Plus, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word ‘They’ is 2019’s Word Of The Year. Used as a pronoun for non-binary people, is this recognition that “They” has gone mainstream.

What Is The Perfect Age To Become A Leader?
This week, Lem Zakharia fills in for Mia Freedman, and joins Holly and Jessie to discuss where on earth our Prime Minister has been lately. While Jacinda Ardern unites New Zealand in the wake of a devastating natural disaster, Australia’s response has been very different. And, would you consider yourself a giver, a matcher or a taker? It turns out we all fit into one of those categories, and one group excels at work far more than the others. Plus, we’re all very excited that there’s another female world leader. The Prime Minister of Finland, Sana Marin, is making headlines because she’s just 34. It got us thinking, what’s the perfect age to become a leader?

The Self Care You Won’t See On Instagram
We’re not on our Summer holidays yet, but we know a bunch of people who are...Australian politicians. And it's no wonder they're pooped because it's been a massive couple of weeks in Canberra. If you want a quick wrap of what's been happening and why, Holly has you covered. And are you struggling to find time to factor self-care into your routine? Well, Jessie has some troubling news. Apparently self-care isn't all face masks and mani-pedi's, it also includes doing your taxes and putting together a household budget. Plus, as Christmas is approaching it's time to start thinking about what you're going to buy the men in your life. So why are blokes so hard to buy for and should you just implement Mia's 'let's not worry about a present' rule? And of course, it's Friday, which means it's recommendations time!

Should Christmas Be Cancelled?
When Scott Morrison was elected in mid 2019, it was said to be a victory for the ‘Quiet Australians’. But this week, former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull encouraged us all to be ‘Loud Australians’. What does that actually mean? And what camp do we belong in? And Christmas is becoming increasingly problematic… at least according to Jessie. After a year that’s been all about cancel culture, sustainability, introversion and self care, is Christmas on the brink of cancellation? Plus, Kim Kardashian West is one of the world’s most powerful business moguls. A recent Vulture interview looked at her influence over the last decade, and now we’re all asking: Have we gone mad, or is Kim seriously profound?

Leggings ARE Pants. Discuss.
This week, leggings were reportedly banned at a school in Melbourne, after a teacher suggested they were distracting to boys. So, does he have a point? Or are leggings just pants with a bad reputation? Also, this week Jessie had a near-death experience. And by that we mean she attended John Edward’s Sydney show. After seeing the psychic medium in the flesh she wants to know: Is this a man exploiting people’s grief? Or is he providing closure and peace? Plus, surprise surprise, a twitter fight has erupted and it’s all about friendship. A woman named Melissa Fabello shared a template that looks a lot like an ‘Out Of Office’ message… but for your friends. Is the whole concept a little narcissistic? Or do we all need to get better at drawing clear boundaries?

There Are More Than 12 Ways To Be Sexy
Is Trump going to win in 2020? Between the complicated impeachment proceedings to the flood of candidates hoping to win the presidential race, things are getting quite confusing. Mia gives us a tidy little synopsis and throws in who she thinks is likely to win. Plus, Rachel Corbett is filling in for Jessie today and she is absolutely sick of people throwing pity parties for single women like herself. Why are married women who are in unhealthy relationships feeling sorry for all the single ladies? Also, the Victoria’s Secret show has been cancelled. Is this the end of the brand as we know it? And what, ultimately, led to its collapse?

The Mental Load of Daughtering
We’re seeing them pop up everywhere on our instagram feed. Posts that reel you in by assuming that you’re unhappy, that something is missing, and that your 9 to 5 job is a burden you’d like to avoid. Our question is: When did everyone on Instagram become a life coach? Also, researchers at Baylor University have published their findings on the mental load of ‘daughter-ing’. Apparently, there are four things daughters tend to do, that sons don’t. Sound familiar? Plus, Holly is obsessed with Apple+’s new TV series “The Morning Wars” featuring a very angry Jen Aniston. Are we seeing the rise of The Angry Woman?
