Outlouders, you might remember a couple of weeks ago Holly shared some really interesting insights about Hollywood and why we're seeing so many MID women dominating it in film and television - insights she gleaned from a recent MID interview. Well today, we thought we'd share the full chat with you because it's a cracker.

Rachel Griffiths says she just got through her "peak mid-hell years" and she's here to tell us how.

The actor, producer, and director has had many eras - from the "fast start" of Muriel's Wedding to being a Hollywood awards darling, a big-deal US TV star, the director of the Australian classic movie Ride Like A Girl, the co-creator of Total Control and now, the star of the TV show Madam. Through all that, she was also wrestling with the relatable MID dramas - parenting teens and young adults, a diagnosis that made sense of so much, caring for ageing relatives and trying to keep a long-term marriage going. No wonder, as she tells host Holly Wainwright, she and her husband needed a sabbatical.

This conversation also veers off into ageing, the Hollywood stars Rachel used to envy but no longer does, how to stay optimistic in a tumultuous world and the relief of finding out she's "ADHD AF".

You can follow Rachel Griffiths here.

There’s a celebrity family with seven children, some dubious accent choices and a wrongful death suit hanging over their heads. So why have Alec and Hilaria Baldwin opened their front door and invited us inside their home? That's right, we're diving into Mia's Roman Empire and the chaotic dynamic of TV reality show, The Baldwins.

Plus, are your friends’ 'tweakments' making you feel bad about your face? Competitive ageing is ruining friendships with women starting anti-ageing treatments younger than ever. We ask why and reveal the exact age most women start worrying about ageing.

And, have you lost your gut instinct? In a world of constant feedback loops and overthinking, many of us struggle to be Hell Yes/Fuck No people. We'll share the simple trick to reconnecting with your intuition.

It was International Women's Day over the weekend and Robbie Katter had some interesting thoughts about the celebration. We unpack his feedback as well as discuss some new research about the split of domestic chores. Plus, we ask the question: what are the unusual things your partner does to 'help' when you're expecting guests? 

Also, why after a weekend of digesting With Love, Meghan — and some quickles sprinkled with flowers — it’s clear that the royal family made a big mistake. We explain why.

And, can someone please explain what SNARF is? We hate to break it to you, but it’s all over your phone and might be the reason you're utterly exhausted.

Hoarding, throwing, selling and Swedish death cleaning—we’re talking about 'stuff' and why what to do with it (or what we don't) goes far deeper than just clearing clutter. In this episode, we discuss why you either love having lots of things around you or not and the reasons why many people (particularly parents) hold onto random objects. We unpack the psychology behind our attachment to certain things and explore how your relationship with stuff can reflect your upbringing. Plus, why has minimalism suddenly become so popular?

There's also our recommendations including Oscar movies, prize-winning books and a new makeup hack. 

Plus, we wrap up the week with out Best & Worst including fashion disasters and a flat phone battery in human form.

Candle-making, flower sprinkles, bee voices and that damned jam we've been waiting for. With Love, Meghan is officially out (and no, Holly can't contain her excitement. We share our honest thoughts on Meghan Markle's (or should we say Meghan Sussex's?) brand-new Netflix home. 

Plus, a high school has banned mirrors in the kids’ bathrooms. We discuss whether or not that ban should be extended... to the world. 

And, there’s a cloud hanging over the latest season of Married At First Sight and it’s in the shape of domestic violence. We discuss the ethics of what's going down in front of the camera as well as what's happening behind the scenes of Australia's most watched show.

If you haven’t watched it, you’ve heard about it, if you haven’t heard about it, you felt it in the force on Saturday morning. Yes, we’re sitting down to unpack the viral moments from THAT oval office press conference, with US president Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Plus, why everyone, from reality TV stars to beleaguered celebrities are “speaking their truth” right now. We're asking them to please... stop. 

And, it’s Oscars' Day. From the drama around the film Emilia Pérez, and why it's lead actress Karla Sofía Gascón ditched the red carpet, to whether or not The Brutalist deserves to win an Oscar... when they admit to using AI. We're unpacking the controversies that led us to this year's red carpet.

Outlouders, have you ever wondered what people who don't swear say during sex? Clean dirty talk, if you will. Wonder no more, friends, for we have a list of the most popular phrases to utter mid sexy time if you're not a potty mouth.They're... interesting. 

And, remember when AI was just a plot device in sci-fi movies with questionable fashion choices? Surprise. Now, the robots have infiltrated every corner of our existence – from grading kids' homework to diagnosing that weird rash you definitely didn't Google at 3am.

But as our digital assistants get chattier than our actual colleagues, Jessie's been pondering: are we trading meaningful human connections for the convenience of having a cyber servant handle our admin? And what happens to our relationships when we'd rather text a chatbot than our actual friends? Brace yourselves for Jessie's hot take that might have you side-eyeing your smart speaker.

Plus, Mia's new shoes, a beauty product you need to hear about, and the holy grail for picky eaters. 

And finally, our Best & Worsts of the week include: talking politicians, a boyfriend emergency, and one of us behaving so poorly she's claiming the official title of a "right cow". Moo.

Plus, Season 3 of The White Lotus has given us a new iconic female friendship group. Why Laurie, Jaclyn and Kate’s glossy toxic dynamic is cringingly familiar. 

And, with the end of awards season in sight, what do we really mean when we say we’re “worried” about the size of the women on the Hollywood red carpet?

Ruby Franke, the family vlogger mum, is behind bars for child abuse -- but what about her husband Kevin? We dive into the forgotten family member in this disturbing story and ask whether this case should make us rethink how we share our children's lives online.

Plus, from Meghan Markle's vision board to the surge in The White Lotus hotel bookings, why is everyone suddenly feeling aspirational?

And, everyone’s lonely, but no-one wants to make plans. Why we’re in the Year of the Flake - unless you’re Mia Freedman who's top of the leaderboard for mastering the pre-flake.

A very public sibling feud sent Mia down a rabbit hole — and we needed to unpack it. From empire control to public fallouts, we dive into the dramatic Murdoch family saga that's playing out in public. Plus, we explore a growing trend — sibling therapy. With family relationships becoming increasingly complex, should more siblings be heading to the therapist's couch together?

Also, we have our recommendations for your weekend. Something a bit sexy, something a bit controversial and the book Amelia Lester can’t stop talking about. 

And... our best and worst of the week. From an embarrassing moment, one of us thinks she’s beautiful and the jeans that transformed a wardrobe.
