Life Uncut

Hey Lifers, Today we kick off the episode by celebrating Laura's 37th birthday! She's got some feelings about turning 37 and they're not the feelings that you might expect. We talk about judging parents of young children for allowing them screen time and have a bit of a silly discussion about why we view women's sex toys as 'empowering' but men's sex toys as gross and creepy! Then we are joined by the wonderful Kellie Finlayson. Kellie Finlayson was 25 and had a beautiful 3 month old daughter with her partner Jeremy, when their world turned upside down.Kellie was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer.After spending a large part of her daughter's life in hospital and a horrific experience with chemo, Kellie beat her cancer. But then months later Kellie found out that her cancer had spread to her lungs. Kellie is now on a mission to spread awareness of bowel cancer, especially in young people. You can follow her journey here: https://www.instagram.com/kelliefinlayson_/ If you loved the episode, please share it with someone you care about, particularly if they've been dismissing a health concern that they've got. Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Ask Uncut, where we answer all of your deep, dark and dirty questions.First up today, we'd love to know, if you are single or if you were single, would you be open to wearing a particular ring to indicate that you were single and open to being approached IRL?We've got mixed feelings and wonder whether it may become as mainstream as online dating. Question 1: When I was on a night out with a friend, I met a guy. His friend invited my friend and I back to his apartment. Our physical intimacy progressed throughout the night and we got very close, only I didn’t sleep with him because of a weird gut feeling that something was off. I gave him my number and we said we couldn’t wait to go on a date to spend some time together. The next day, I found his Instagram. His tagged posts have a wedding video of him and his beautiful wife. I clicked on her profile and it shows they’re still married. I feel disgusted with him and myself. My question is, do you think the wife has a right to know and should I be the one to tell her?  Question 2: I'm 26 and have been with my boyfriend for 2 years.  I've decided I want to move to Australia for 1 year. He has said that he would be keen to come with me. He's great, kind etc, but I'm not sure he is the one! Should I allow him to move to the other side of the world with me if I'm not 100% sure about him or should I break it off for a fresh start even though I'm not sure if I want to break up? Question 3: If your partner has 'made' the decision that it is time to go to sleep, e.g. lights off, phones down, do both of you have to put the devices down, turn the lights off and go to sleep? If you have a question, send it over to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grace is now 25, and she's already been on the Forbes 30 under 30 list.She created a huge following on instagram by wanting to be held accountable with going to the gym. She has turned that into two incredibly successful businesses.In this chat we talk about:-Building a business from the ground up-How funding works-How much privilege comes into being a 'success'-Being taken seriously in the business worldWe also speak about the difference that a 2023 lens puts on the way we used to look at 'empowering' women in 2006 and how P!nk used Paris Hilton's sex tape as humiliation.You also gave us the most savage break up texts that you've ever received and your exes sound like garbage!If you haven't already, we'd love a cheeky review on apple pods or a star rating on spotify.

Welcome back Lifers and Lovers, Today we start by unpacking whether it's the responsibility of the interviewee to hold up the conversation if the interviewer isn't doing a great job. Hugh Grant is being slammed for his interview with Ashley Graham, and we might be in the minority on this one. The vibes of the week are: Britt: Omnilux LED mask https://bit.ly/3YPN69k Laura: Kath Koschel's book 'Kindness' https://bit.ly/3YMsrTt Kath's episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/life-uncut/id1472126503?i=1000590088293 The questions we tackle today are: -When is it okay to be someone’s second choice?Context- I met this guy 5 years ago and we followed each other on instagram. Fast forward and we went on a nice date a few weeks ago. The following week I got a message saying that he had such a great time and really liked me, but his ex had been in contact and he felt as though things weren’t finished between them.Fast forward again, it’s been two months and he’s messaged saying that things are well and truly finished and that he’d like to go out again. Would you go? -I had a sex dream about my boss and now I can’t stop seeing him in a sexual way. He is single but there would be what I guess you’d say a power in balance between us. Should I put out some feelers and see if he maybe sees me in the same way or am I asking for trouble?I’m not sure if it’s just a bit of a hot fantasy or if maybe we actually could work in a relationship. We have a lot in common and I know that a lot of people meet their long term partners at work-How can I distance our relationship without ruining it?I have a half-sister & we did not grow up together. Initially I loved the idea of having a sister, but she wants the type of relationship where we text all day, call a few times a week, and basically give a play by play of our day and our lives. It's exhausting and not who I am.

Hey Lifers! You might have noticed a sneaky little bonus episode drop into your feeds on Friday! We released the meaty, juicy part of today's episode on Friday to line up with Adam's media schedule! So today's episode is a bit of a laugh!First up, Laura was recognised at potentially the worst place imaginable...enter the gastroenterologist. We unpack a study that found that women have one of three types of orgasms: -The ocean wave, -The volcano or -The avalanche. We also asked you what 'thing' you got into because the person you were into liked it and our advice is steer clear of any sports that go for more than 2 hours... We got to sit down with Adam Lambert and have a big ol' chat that you can find here: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-king-of-queen-uncut-with-adam-lambert/id1472126503?i=1000603487506Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fancy seeing you here on a Friday!  Today we have a special bonus episode for you with someone we could talk to all week! Boy did we covered some ground in this chat. Everything from childhood theatre school, to the new drag show laws enforced in some states of the US, from anxiety, being a Queer icon, to filling the shoes of Freddie Mercury as the front man of Queen.  Adam is exceptional. He is so warm. He is so humble considering all of his achievements. We were so lucky to have sat down in his hotel room and had this chat in person. His brand new album is called 'High Drama' and you can listen to it now!Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey lifers! Welcome back to your weekly therapy.First up, f*ck the casting of SAS Australia. We're so completely over these really problematic people being given the chance at 'the redemption arc.Throw it in the bin!Today the questions we are unpacking are:-My ex and I have mutual friends that are coming down to visit for a weekend coming up, so it is likely that we will all hang out at some stage and I will have to see my ex. I haven’t seen/spoken to him in months and things didn’t end on very good terms as he cheated on me. I don’t want to miss out on hanging out with my friends and feel like I can’t expect him to either. It would probably be in a group of about 5-7 people. Should I still hang out with my friends when I know my ex will be there?-How do you overcome loneliness? My entire friendship group has a partner/is in a relationship. I am so happy for them that they have all found their penguins, however I am the only single person in my core friendship group and in my life. None of my friends want to go out for drinks or to party because they would rather be at home with their partner, which I totally get. I am an introvert and find it very hard to make new friends. I also find it difficult to do things on my own to ‘fill my own cup’. I love being single but when I look at my friends and see how happy they are in their relationships it makes me feel so lonely as I have not found my penguin yet. I tried online dating and absolutely hated it as all the people I matched with gave me the biggest ick. How do I overcome this feeling of loneliness, and how do I keep the belief that I will find my penguin one day?-How do you know if you've squirted?Is it a different sensation? What's the volume like?I'm not sure if I have or not, or if maybe I'm just wet. If you have an ask uncut question, send it in to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

Today we've got a lot to unpack. First up is how we feel that international women's day doesn't stand for what it used to and how now the day can be tokenistic. We’ve got a huge problem with the sex shaming that a nursing advisory board has put on NSW nurses and their OnlyFans profiles and we share the weirdest ways you found out your partner was cheating on you. Where on this planet do you find these people? But today's deep dive is a little different for us. You might remember a few weeks ago, Britt recommended a podcast called 'The Lady Vanishes.' It is a podcast investigating the disappearance of Marion Barter 26 years ago. On today's episode we are joined by Marion's daughter Sally Leydon. We talk about where they are at with finding out what happened to Marion, how she is being helped by a group of internet sleuths and what they have collectively uncovered.

Welcome to therapy where we answer your questions, completely unqualified but enthusiastically! First up, Lola is being a sleep terror and it's got Laura praying to the sleep gods.We've also found a 'new' way to see if your partner is cheating on you, and Lady Gaga is getting sued for the most ludicrous reason. Today the questions we are jumping into are:-I slept with my coworker about 4 years ago. He has a new girlfriend now who I have become friends with. We really click! Should I tell her that we slept together years ago or should I pretend like it never happened? She has started asking questions about his past.-My ex and I had a list of baby names with one that he really liked. My new partner and I are now talking about baby names and he likes the exact same name. Can I name my child the same name that my ex picked?-I accidentally saw that my partner had ordered my engagement ring. He left it open by accident on his safari when I went to search for something. I saw the ring, the receipt and everything. Should I tell him I've seen it or act shocked when he proposes?-How early is 'too' early to bring up stuff like mental health issues in the early stages of dating someone?Vibes and unsubscribes today are:Laura- the app Dext https://app.dext.com/loginBritt - unsubscribing from photo widgets that show photos of your exes If you haven't hit subscribe or follow, tap the little plus and the episodes will download directly when they're available so you won't have to worry about reception or internet connection!

Happy Mardi Gras lifers!  We spent the last 4 days attached at the hip on a trip to the Northern Territory together! Are we sick of each other? Absolutely not. Do we have a lot to unpack about our new found closeness, yes. Yes we do. On today's episode we unpack just how good of a dad Matty J is, according to the media and why are the standards so different for mothers and fathers?!Then we are joined by the wonderful Ellie Cole! Ellie is Australia's most decorated female paralympian. She's also a laugh and a half. Ellie had her leg amputated when she was 3 after battling a rare form of cancer. With just one leg she has (literally) been making waves and has played a huge part in shifting the public’s awareness of what living with a disability is like.In this chat we talk about our expectations of success and whether it brings true happiness, the toll her cancer and then living with a disability took on her family and Ellie not wanting to have to define her sexuality.You can find Ellie here: https://www.instagram.com/elliecoleswim/?hl=en Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers! Today we are kicking things off with a question of our own. What's the etiquette when a friend or acquaintance asks you for a reference check on one of your exes? Do you completely divulge what you truly think of them, or would you be doing that out of spite?Then we jump into your questions! One of my close friends voted 'no' during the gay marriage plebiscite. My wedding is coming up and I'm in a same sex relationship. Should I invite my friend to our wedding given that she made her opinions of our union known at the time?My boyfriend of 4 years says he wants to wait another 6-8 years before getting married. I want to be married in the next 3 years. How do we 'meet in the middle' when we have different timelines?Can you wear open toed shoes in a workplace? My colleague has gross feet and I hate looking at them If you have a question you'd like answered on Ask Uncut, send it over to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!

Hey Lifers, Today we jump in by discussing whether it's justified to be annoyed when people post about their wealth. Is it super cringey or should we check our hesitation towards it? Laura also got her wedding video back from the editors and it had a beautiful song all about falling in love...It just so happened to have lyrics about falling in love with a woman by the name of Matt's ex! Then we are joined by the wonderful Olivia Rogers!Olivia got married. Olivia decided that she wanted to separate from her husband after 8 months of marriage and the Australian media coined the term 'the micro marriage' in response. Here, Olivia talks about her shift in identity of being a wife to being single and how she faced the horrible backlash.She shares how she wished for the problems in their relationship to dissolve once they had made the commitment to be married. She also addresses her deep desire for wanting a baby and how in hindsight it had more to do with filling a void.Olivia was so vulnerable and honest in this chat.You can find her on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/oliviamollyrogers/?hl=en Subscribe/follow the pod incase Laura accidentally publishes the episodes early again! For more follow us on TikTok and insta @lifeuncutpodcast and join the Facebook discussion group! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers,Welcome to your weekly unpacking of dilemmas.Today we kick things off by unpacking whether the whole 'speaking your truth' and being brutally honest can actually be cruel. "No offence but" doesn't always translate. Vibe or unsubscribe this week:Laura - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery on NetflixBritt - Hands free dog leash https://notyourregularpet.com/collections/handsfreeThen we jump into your questions!I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and I am trying to decide on baby names. There is one name that I have loved for years (literally), I had it written down in my notes from 2017 - because I mean, who doesn’t have a list of baby names they love? My best friend’s sister had a baby 18 months ago and named the baby the name I have loved since 2017. I see my best friend’s sister and her baby often… is it bad if I still go ahead and use this name even though I’ll see her and her baby often? … the spelling would be different but it would be the same name. Should I ask her if she’s okay with it?I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and my husband and I have not had sex in weeks. Prior to this we had a very healthy sex life. I’ve brought it up multiple times with him and he’s said that’s it’s difficult to have sex with me when I have such a big tummy. He tries to reassure me by saying I’m beautiful but it’s hard to be sexually attracted to me. I’ve suggested we try other positions where my belly isn’t visible to him which he says “yeah we can try” but still nothing. I also know he often masturbates. It’s already hard to see my body going through all these changes but to also feel undesired by my husband hits even harder. Is it normal for your partner to not want to be intimate with you at this stage in pregnancy? I worry that if we don’t have sex until after the 6 weeks baby is born that there’s going to be an immense pressure on it. I don’t know what else I can do to encourage him - it also is a massive hit to my confidence every time I get shut down for sex.As businesswomen who work incredibly hard, how do you deal with the haters trying to bring you down? I have a business that is pretty successful. I work hard 7 days a week and put my heart and soul into it. Yet one negative review, or people trying to slander our name, and I can’t get it out of my head. How do you cope?If you have a question that you'd like us to unpack, send it in to @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram!Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
