Squirting, Dawn Culture & The Most Motivating Word

Happy New Year Outlouders! It’s the first day of 2025, and that means it's time for Word Of The Year. If you're new here... welcome to the group and to one of our most anticipated episodes of the year. New Year's resolutions can be a bit drab, so instead, every year we choose a word to that helps us set an intention for the 12 months ahead of us. Word of the year is more of a vibe that helps create a focus or filter for every moment and decision, big or small, that is to come. But before Holly, Jessie and Mia share their words for 2025... they reflect on 2024. They give themselves a performance review on their word for last year and see if they lived up to them... or better yet remembered what it was!

What a wild year 2024 has been filled with highs and lows. One thing we are grateful for is having YOU the Outlouders with us every episode of this year. In this episode, Holly, Mia and Jessie are reflecting on the year that was. From health concerns, seasons ending, best friends, life transitions.. and so much more. There is lots of deep and meaningful in this episode. Plus, Mia breaks the rules (the very rules she is so strict about) and does her best before her worst.

Outlouders, grief has no time for fancy words and clever jokes. In fact, it hasn't a lot of time for words, full-stop. It's a full-body experience that can change you on every level. And at this time of year, loss, be it past or present, can feel all the more raw. That's why this episode of MID feels so important to share today. Interfaith minister, author and death-walker Dr Jackie Bailey has experienced a great deal of loss, and she spends her life walking others through it, helping people prepare for it, and acknowledging it when it happens. If you think that makes for a depressing interview, you'd be wrong. Jackie is insightful, wise and funny, full of both practical and emotional support for the grieving. She's the perfect person to help us through the hard parts.

We often get a little reflective at this time of year. What we want more, or less, of in life. Where we're going. What it all means. And when you start thinking like this, it can lead to big life decisions. That's exactly what happened to Holly Wainwright. Three years ago, she was in this sort of reflective mood; one which ultimately led to her and her partner's decision to make the momentous family move from city to country. In this episode, Mia sits down with Holly to ask all the questions both she and the Outlouders have been wanting to know about Holly's move. Enjoy this intimate conversation about the highs and lows of making a major life choice.

Merry Christmas, Outlouders! If you need a break from family and festivities then this is the episode for you. In 2023, Jessie and Clare Stephens decided enough was enough. Someone needed to put Christmas on trial. Because while the festive season can be great, it's also stressful, overwhelming and quite frankly, a lot of pressure to be merry and bright.Today, Jessie invites you into the Cancelled courtroom to put Christmas through its paces. From over-committed schedules, to being too focused on kids and feeling kind of repetitive, there are plenty of reasons why this is a lazy gewls least favourite holiday.

“We can bury anyone: Inside a Hollywood smear machine”. That’s the New York Times headline that meant, holiday or no holiday, we were definitely bringing you a show today. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni made headlines just a few months ago for their roles in one of the year’s most-watched films, It Ends With Us. But what was happening off-screen turned out to be an even bigger story. In this emergency meeting of Out Loud, Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack the facts behind Blake's legal complaint against her co-star and director Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and an orchestrated campaign to destroy her reputation. Plus, what this lawsuit means for Hollywood power dynamics, celebrity reputations, and the way narratives are shaped online. This story has implications far beyond a single movie. It’s about the intersection of art, accountability, and the manipulation of public perception in the digital age. Join us as we break it all down.

In this episode of No Filter, Mia talks to Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith about the 7 different kinds of rest that will prevent you from burning out and help you show up to your life with all the energy you need.Take Saundra’s Free Rest Quiz here.
