Sometimes you just need an impromptu therapy session with absolutely no professionals present. From the adult who calls their parents by their first names to the person who orders a salad at a pub, Clare, Amelia and Em are unpacking the exact types of people we just don’t trust.

Australia’s fertility rate has sunk to a record low, but researchers swear they’ve found the one simple trick to get women to have more babies. It does involve your home office’s proximity to the bedroom, but not quite in the way you might think.

Plus, how are powerful women like Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan still being target with 300 year old Salem tropes like ‘Ditch The Witch’? Julia Gillard, like us, has thoughts.

Also, Madonna just dropped a star-studded 10-minute musical short film called Confessions II.  We’re breaking down every single celebrity cameo you might have missed.

And, we explain the reason why Taylor Swift, Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller are in orange and blue all over your social media feed.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Emily Vernem & Amelia Lester on our subscribers only episode.  You can listen to the full conversation: 3 (Celebrity) Weddings And A Guest Drama 

Two big weddings happened over the weekend. One celebrity, one Royal. Plus there’s speculation about a third involving pop royalty, and Mia, Amelia and Em need to unpack all of them.

SUBSCRIBE to Mamamia and get every single episode of Mamamia Out Loud & access to every story on Mamamia plus our exercise app, MOVE.

First up, Dua Lipa married Callum Turner in a glorious three-day extravaganza in Palermo, Sicily.  So why – like Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez before them –  were the locals not altogether happy

While, deep in the Cotswolds, King Charles’ nephew Peter Phillips got married to Harriet Sperling in a tiny church, and some very notable family members didn't make the cut.

And then there’s Taylor Swift. There are reports she’s about to marry Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden on the 4th of July weekend and the guest list is stressing us out. From Blake Lively, to avoiding an awkward Harry Styles run-in, how exactly do you choose who's on the list? And, what about the ‘no ring, no bring’ theory?

Oh, and Mia is back from Tokyo and we need to debrief.

Outlouders, we’ve unlocked an exclusive subscriber episode for your long weekend listening pleasure. You're welcome.

Remember when oversharing on the internet was a thing?

The era of the ‘personal essay’ was a time when people poured their messy insides out for the world to read. Except now those stories are frozen in time. Forever. And the oversharing hangover is real.

Mia, Holly and Em are unpacking the sometimes brutal backlash of ‘going viral’ over a deeply personal moment and the slightly awkward nightmare of your family and friends reading about your business online. 

So, is the personal essay dead – or have we all just moved to Substack? And, should some of those literal journal entries actually just stay in the drafts? Mia has thoughts.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Holly Wainwright, Clare Stephens and special guest host Laura Brodnik from The Spill on our subscribers-only episode.  You can listen to the full conversation: The One Big Lie Blown Up By The Kylie Doco

The Netflix doco Kylie has officially dropped, and the nostalgia we are feeling is quite real. Today, Holly, Clare and Laura are unpacking the three-part series.

From the ‘singing budgie’ era to two-time Grammy Award winner, it's the ultimate masterclass in career longevity. So why does our collective obsession with the ‘Princess of Pop’ run so deep, and what does Kylie’s story tell us about the grit and resilience behind the fame?

What do you mean, you're not a subscriber yet? Solve that problem HERE.

We discuss her first cancer diagnosis at age 36, her decision to postpone chemotherapy to try IVF and the revelation of her second, very private battle with breast cancer.

Also, the slightly awkward raw honesty of Jason Donovan, her relationship with INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and the lure of your first true love. Plus, the touching way her friend Nick Cave articulates her magic might just be our absolute favourite part of the entire thing.
