58. PINK TAX - The cost of being a woman
Lifers, we were a little slow off the ranks today, but boy do we have a biggy for you! First up on todays episode we are talking about that Adele photo that is causing a stir, then we dive into a little bit of Bach Chat, followed by our favourite Accidentally Unfiltered stories for the week.... and then for the main course we have something a little different for you today. We are getting serious and talking about Pink Tax, and the hidden costs of being female. So what is pink tax? Glad you asked! It’s gender based price discrimination. Basically women are still paying more for certain items than men are, even if the items are identical, effectively shelling out a 'pink tax' simply for being female. Is it not bad enough that women on average are still earning less than our male counterparts!? Even though they often can’t even multitask!? (Ok that part is not fact per se but a it’s strong opinion) But now it costs us more to shop too!? HOW IS THIS HAPPENING! It’s time we all know about this and become smarter consumers. If you also didn’t know about this topic, or think that maybe a friend didn’t know about this, or just liked the episode, share the love, because, well, we love love x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ASK UNCUT - Help can I have sex with other people when I'm on a "break"?
Time for your free therapy session lifers! We really love making these short and sharp episodes and knowing that in some way we can: A. Make you all feel a little less alone B. Attempt to give you some advice and guidance on whatever it is that’s bothering you, no matter how trivial or serious you think it is. Today we actually have a few questions involving sleeping with someone else whilst on a break (think Ross and Rachel from friends) we talk manscaping and how to navigate friendships as they start to take different life paths. I’d like to also put it here permanently that Laura has NO IDEA about the Ross and Rachel break scene, and I’m not sure how we can get past that. Have a great weekend guys!

Talking Body dysmorphic disorder and social media
Hey Lifers happy Tuesday! You’ll never believe who Britt ran into this week and what Laura Learnt that really blew her mind. Then we chat all things BDD. That’s Body dysmorphic disorder. BDD is a mental health disorder in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance. These ‘defects or flaws’ usually appear small, are minor, are often non existent and aren’t noticed by others. But you may feel so embarrassed, ashamed and anxious that it impacts your life. You avoid mirrors, constantly compare yourself, feel depressed or anxious, dislike what you see and you may avoid social situations all together. It can affect so many aspects of our life. We delve into BDD and chat about how we feel media today perpetuates the idea that success equals beauty and in turn contributes to the rise of disorders like BDD.

Ok, so you’re cruising along, totally smitten. You’re like a loved up teen. Can’t get enough of each other, spend all your time together, text all day, spoon all night, can’t believe your lucky stars that you’re with this gorgeous human that you’re low key obsessed with. Or maybe you’re in a long term relationship with the love of your life. Your penguin. Your human. Then, BAM! Out of nowhere and when you least expect it it hits you with a run up, you’re repulsed. You’re Annoyed. The way they laugh makes you queasy. The way they speak gives you shivers, and not the good kind. And you can no longer stand the thought of being around them. Ladies and gentleman, you’re experiencing ‘The Ick’. We are going to break it down and discuss the different stages and the level of “Ick seriousness’, if it is salvageable, if you should jump ship, or if you’re just overreacting and have your own commitment issues that you need to address. Get it in your ears, join our Facebook discussion group, hit 5 starts, leave a review (gosh we are demanding today aren’t we) and shore the love, because, well, we love love!

How to survive a break up (without burning your ex's house down)
Todays episode is a break up bible to help soothe the fractured heart. Break ups suck, that's a fact. We all go through them, but that doesn't make the hurt any less raw or real and the truth is every single relationship you have before you find “your penguin” will inevitably end in a breakup, it's all part of the journey to your final love destination. Whether you are the dumper or dumpee, it's going to bloody hurt and there are going to be some rough times ahead. It's not just the loss that hurts, it’s the fear and insecurity that comes with being out on your own again. In the wild. Alone. The feeling of losing your identity and having to figure out who you are again without someone by your side! That can be some scary shit guys, but it can also be eye-opening, liberating and fun! We are here to help you get through your breakup, give you some ideas to help you move forward, which we promise you will, and get to that stage of contentment.
