The antidote to the bin-fire of right now.

Forget inspirational life coach energy. Forget toxic positivity. This is the show for the woman who is tired of being a human doormat, sick of being told to get in the bin, and currently eating her body weight in Greek yogurt because someone on Instagram said protein is the answer and honestly...to what? 

From the brain (and slightly unhinged vision board) of Mia Freedman comes a podcast that’s not inspirational even in the slightest. You don’t need to learn anything or remember anything either. Just turn up.

Join your smartest, most brilliant friends; Sally Hepworth, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam, Cathrine Mahoney, and Dr Ginni Mansberg for a bit of distraction, some helpful things, and a laugh. Produced by Mia Freedman, who now owns a hat with PRODUCER written on it in very large font. Launching Feb 3. New eps every Tuesday. Tell your group chat. Send it to your sister. Recommend it aggressively to the friend who says “I don’t really listen to podcasts”. She's an idiot.

Cath swears by a new life philosophy: The Four M’s. Metamucil, Magnesium, Meditation and Masturbation. And yes, apparently you can multitask.

Bruna confesses she loves going under general anaesthetic because it’s the only proper rest she gets.

Grace torches an article that says French tucks and cross body bags are cancelled, and Sally invests in a prosperity spell and a lotto ticket with very modest returns.

In your ears today: Cathrine Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam and Sally Hepworth.

In your ears today: Cathrine Mahoney, Grace Lam, Sally Hepworth and Dr Ginni Mansberg.

Wigs, alopecia and sex: what actually happens when someone grabs your hair mid-hookup?

How many psychics is too many psychics? Cath has reached the point where she needs a Chat GPT spreadsheet to track them all.

Mary confirms - with evidence - that her mother has never given a blowjob.

Bruna joins a wellness cult called 75 Hard, but she still can’t find time for a shower.

Grace’s clairvoyant spat water all over her to exorcise a ghost. Sadly, it didn't work for Bruna when the ghost of Princess Diana turned up in her bedroom.

Plus, a miracle church, and the lengths we go to for love, for family, and for the sisterhood.

In your ears today: Cathrine Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam and Mary Coustas.
