LIVING WITH ENDO. Talking endometriosis with Bridget Hustwaite
Hey Lifers! Whether you suffer from it yourself or you’ve got a friend or family member who does, we’re sure you’ve heard that living with endometriosis can be super challenging. We thought we knew what endometriosis was, but as it turns out, there’s a lot of misinformation and misunderstandings about endo. Endometriosis currently affects 1 in 9 Australians assigned female at birth (and 176 million people worldwide) but diagnosis takes on average 7 - 12 years. After years of dismissive doctors and misinformation, Bridget Hustwaite, who you might know from her ‘Good Nights’ show on Triple J, finally received a diagnosis for her intensely heavy periods, pulsing headaches and excruciating abdominal pain in 2018. In this episode Bridget gets real with the truths and myths about endo and how to navigate the inconsistent answers from health professionals, how living with endometriosis can affect your dating and sex life and what it actually costs to have a chronic illness in Australia. Bridget recently released her first book titled “How to Endo” which is a definitive guide to surviving and thriving with endometriosis. She also hosts an Instagram account, @endogram, where a community of women share their experiences of living with endometriosis. You can find Bridget on Instagram @bridgethustwaite.

The night my sister was killed. Talking domestic violence with Bianca Unwin
Lifers, today we have one of the toughest but most moving interviews that we have ever aired. Meet Bianca, the sister of a beautiful woman named Katie who was murdered by her partner 3 years ago. This type of harrowing story seems to be all too common in Australia at the moment, and we feel as though the only way to change the domestic violence landscape is to speak about it. What started as “the happiest” Katie’s family had ever seen her, led to what they described as ‘childish jealousy’ and eventually her brutal murder. In this episode we learn about the warning signs that Katie’s partner displayed of troubling behaviour, coercive control and stalking. Bianca also speaks about how domestic violence has affected her entire family. In this ep is some great information about how to actively help someone experiencing family violence and organisations that can help.

Stop right now, thank you very much. Talking Boundaries and Self worth.
If you've been watching the absolutely toxic shit storm that is Married at first sight, you'd be correct in saying the "experiment" and the people in it know no boundaries. And whilst the show has produced (a very small number) of success stories, it is basically a show dedicated to teaching us what not to do and how not to act. It led us to this weeks discussion, Boundaries and self worth. What is a boundary? What are healthy and unhealthy boundaries? How do we set them and maintain them and what is their connection to our self worth? But before that we jump head first into some very interesting American Bachelor chat and discuss Colton Underwood coming out, but also the toxic behaviour that went down in his relationship with his Bachelor winner Cassie Randolph and why it's been swept under the rug. If you love the ep and you haven't already please head on over and leave us a review on Apple podcasts, we will love you for it! And please, tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your friends and share the love, because, well, we love love x follow us @lifeuncutpodcast on instagram See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Or do I keep looking for my penguin? -My boyfriend and I are long distance and he always ignores me and leaves me on read, even though I see him online all the time. What do I do? When is enough enough? -Help! I came out of a toxic relationship. Now I am dating a great guy.... but... I am bored.

Foster Girlfriend, Dickmatized and Kittenfishing - Talking modern day dating terminologies
Lifers, it's Tuesday and we are back with a hot little episode to get in your ear holes. In case you haven't noticed navigating the modern dating world is bloody hard... not rocket science hard, more like rubic's cube hard - but we are here to make it that little bit easier for you. On todays episode we are unpacking all the obscure dating terminologies that explain all the messed up behaviour you might experience, hey maybe you're guilty of doing some of it yourself. But before we dissect what the hell things like 'flashpanning' and 'eclipsing' are, we both have recommendations for you and we also have a more serious conversation around consent. The VIC government has recently passed legislation making consent a mandatory part of school sexual education curriculum and we discuss why a former school students petition was the catalyst for change and why consent is an inextricable part of sexual education. If you would like to read the ABC article for yourself click here This episode discusses themes of sexual assault and consent, if this is triggering for you and you need to reach out for help you can get support here If you have loved this episode please leave a review and join the conversation on Instagram @lifeuncutpodcast.

HUSTLE CULTURE - The too busy trap
It's Thursday guys but this week due to Britt's loss of voice we had to switch things around so this is our big juicy episode! First up, Britt receives an insta DM that wasn't meant for her. Should cosmetic clinics be telling us all the things that are 'wrong' with us!? We think not. Ahhhh the hustle. The grind. The never ending list of things to do. Sound familiar? Why do we feel like to be successful we have to be running around like a chicken with it's head cut off? Always a million miles an hour, always hustling. In fact, as a society, we tend to glorify the hustle, as if if is something we should aspire to! But should we? Does busyness equate to success? Does busyness equate to productivity? Let's unpack that hustlers.

He loves ME... He loves me NOT. TALKING UNREQUITED LOVE
Ever loved someone that didn't love you back?! Samesies. It sucks. It's called unrequited love and if you answered no chances are you're telling a fib, or you may still have that heartbreak ahead of you, lucky you! I say this because research says roughly 98% of the population has been on either one or both sides of an unrequited love. Hey, at least you're not alone! The fact is, there will be times when we have strong feelings toward someone, when we imagine a life with them, when we only think about them, obsess over them and are completely preoccupied by them, only to find out that they do not feel the same way about us. This one-sided experience that can leave us feeling really shitty and feeling a lot of pain, grief, embarrassment, rejection and shame. It's shitty and confusing and it sucks. So let's unpack it. Oh, and have you guys seen all this stuff about Celeb spell check? It's juicy and controversial and if you don't know what we are talking about come and get amongst it. If you love the ep you know the drill! Tell your friends and well, anyone else that will listen. Hit subscribe, 5 stars and leave a review if you're feeling extra fancy.

WE ARE BACK BABY!
Believe it or not we’ve only had a 5 week break and in that time Laura pushed out a baby, Britt fell in love and everything is right in the world!! Well, besides corona virus, Kim and Kanye divorcing and Meghan Markle outing the royals with explosive bombshells of course! But hey, let’s save those for another day. But gosh we missed you guys! Today we are getting the goss on the man that has finally been able to tame Britt after nearly a decade of her being on the loose. What are the odds he wears turtlenecks and doesn’t know how hot he is? 🤣 Laura brought another beautiful baby girl into the world and named her Lola. We are diving deep into her birth story, leaving no unfiltered, painful, hilarious stone unturned. We are so happy to be back and have a big year ahead planned and we can’t wait to take you all along with us!

LOVE AIN'T ENOUGH PEOPLE
Happy Tuesday Lifers! This is our last episode for a few weeks because it is time for Laura to go and birth a small human! And we can't wait to see the little cherub once it is earth side!! (We will also see if our recent psychic medium David was correct in his prediction of boy or girl) But we will be back before you know it talking all about Laura's birth story! Ok, so let's talk love! We are brought up being told that "Love is all you need", but the older we get we have to wonder, is it? Now don't get us wrong, you're looking at two of the biggest lovers this side of the border (no, literally, we went on a dating show to find love (successful for one, always too soon for the other) and started a relationships and love podcast because, well, we love love. But we are firm believers that love just isn't enough on its own. In our society and culture, most of us idealise and romanticise relationships and love. We see it as the be all and end all. We are raised with the idea that life involves growing up, getting a job and falling in love. Full stop. It is portrayed in fairytales, books and movies as part of achieving success. The thing that makes everything better. That heals the pain and makes life easy. In the words of John Lennon, “Love is all we need” But is it!? If we do walk around with our head in the clouds like Lennon did, we’re more likely to ignore the fundamental values that are crucial to the success and health of a relationship, things such as honesty, trust, respect, humility, support and commitment towards the person we love. Jump on in as we deep dive into why we think relationships needs more than just those four little letters. If you're still one of those slippery little suckers that have been with us for a long time and haven't left a review, well, why you do us dirty like that!? Please hit subscribe, 5 stars, and share the love, because, well, we love love x Keep your questions rolling in for Ask Uncut and keep delivering those Accidentally Unfiltered's!
