SUNDAY SPECIAL: Paulina Porizkova: The Supermodel Who Dared To Grow Old On Instagram
Outlouders, do you remember Holly and Mia's obsession with the TV show In Vogue: The 90s? We have a little treat for you today... and it's a conversation that Mia had supermodel Paulina Porizkova on No Filter. For many years Paulina Porizkova was the most recognised face in fashion & beauty - from her iconic Sports Illustrated cover to being the face of Estee Lauder. When she married rock star Ric Ocastek from the iconic band, The Cars. From the outside looking in, it seemed like she was living the dream. To look at her, she really did seem like the woman who had it all. But while Paulina was as visible as you could be…she didn’t feel like she was being heard. Not by the photographers and fashion people, not by producers and directors, and not by her husband, Ric. But then, during COVID, she became known to a whole new generation of women for an unlikely reason…crying on Instagram. And as you’re about to hear - Paulina had a lot of really good reasons to cry. (But, she also gets the last laugh). When Paulina hit her low point, she shared her grief and pain - and tears - with Instagram. As you’ll hear, Paulina had a lot of reasons to cry (and a lot of new reasons to laugh).

CANCELLED: Zac "The Jaw Controversy" Efron
Outlouders, remember when we all watched A Family Affair? Well today, Jessie wants to share a little treat with you all.

Holly Recommends MID: From No Sex To Best Sex At 49
Is it getting hot in here... or is it just peri? We have a sexy little treat for you Outlouders and it's an episode all about sex. Overlooked, touched-out and too tired. That's how many MID women feel about sex. It's how Leslie Morgan felt, too. At 49, her marriage ended, and after not having sex for three years, she decided to change that. Over the next year, Leslie found five boyfriends and discovered her sexual self wasn't actually dead, she was just having a good lie down. In this MID interview, Holly Wainwright speaks to author and advocate Leslie Morgan, to discuss what women really mean when they say they no longer care about sex, why you should never cover your wrinkles to attract a younger man (if you want one) and how it feels to have the best sex of your life after 50.

Word Of The Year 2025
Happy New Year Outlouders! It’s the first day of 2025, and that means it's time for Word Of The Year. If you're new here... welcome to the group and to one of our most anticipated episodes of the year. New Year's resolutions can be a bit drab, so instead, every year we choose a word to that helps us set an intention for the 12 months ahead. Word of the Year is more of a vibe that helps create a focus or filter for every moment and decision, big or small, that's to come. But before Holly, Jessie and Mia (plus Amelia and Em) share their words for 2025, they reflect on their choices for 2024.

MID: Holly Wainwright — Grief Has No Time For Your Bullshit
Outlouders, grief has no time for fancy words and clever jokes. In fact, it hasn't a lot of time for words, full-stop. It's a full-body experience that can change you on every level. And at this time of year, loss, be it past or present, can feel all the more raw. That's why this episode of MID feels so important to share today. Interfaith minister, author and death-walker Dr Jackie Bailey has experienced a great deal of loss, and she spends her life walking others through it, helping people prepare for it, and acknowledging it when it happens. If you think that makes for a depressing interview, you'd be wrong. Jackie is insightful, wise and funny, full of both practical and emotional support for the grieving. She's the perfect person to help us through the hard parts.

Three years ago, she was in this sort of reflective mood; one which ultimately led to her and her partner's decision to make the momentous family move from city to country.

A Cancelled Girls' Guide To Christmas
Merry Christmas, Outlouders! If you need a break from family and festivities then this is the episode for you. In 2023, Jessie and Clare Stephens decided enough was enough. Someone needed to put Christmas on trial. Because while the festive season can be great, it's also stressful, overwhelming and quite frankly, a lot of pressure to be merry and bright. Today, Jessie invites you into the Cancelled courtroom to put Christmas through its paces. From over-committed schedules, to being too focused on kids and feeling kind of repetitive, there are plenty of reasons why this is a lazy gewls least favourite holiday.

Emergency Meeting: The Blake Lively Smear Campaign Unpacked
“We can bury anyone: Inside a Hollywood smear machine”. That’s the New York Times headline that meant, holiday or no holiday, we were definitely bringing you a show today. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni made headlines just a few months ago for their roles in one of the year’s most-watched films, It Ends With Us. But what was happening off-screen turned out to be an even bigger story. In this emergency meeting of Out Loud, Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack the facts behind Blake's legal complaint against her co-star and director Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and an orchestrated campaign to destroy her reputation. Plus, what this lawsuit means for Hollywood power dynamics, celebrity reputations, and the way narratives are shaped online. This story has implications far beyond a single movie.

SUNDAY SPECIAL: Mia Recommends The Seven Types of Rest
Outlouders the end of the year is almost upon us! Which is why we are sharing this particular Sunday Special with you. When you’re feeling exhausted - like so many of us are - what do you do? Most of us think we need more sleep. But, it turns out, sleep and rest are not the same thing. In fact, we can be tired in different ways, and each one of those ways requires a different kind of rest. In this episode of No Filter, Mia talks to Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith about the 7 different kinds of rest that will prevent you from burning out and help you show up to your life with all the energy you need. Take Saundra’s Free Rest Quiz here. Saundra’s book “Sacred Rest: is available here.

An Influencer, A Toilet Rule & What Men Think We Really Look Like
You either know everything about popular influencer Matilda Djerf or nothing but after allegations were made about her behaviour — and yes, they do include a toilet incident or two — and Djerf responded with an apology, we just had to ask, 'What's it all about?' Plus, this is why we can't have nice things. Every year during the festive season we watch our favourite classic Christmas movies and every year, another one is deemed 'problematic'. This year is no exception. And why 20 years on, Keira Knightley is still being asked in every interview about Love Actually. Aaaand yet again, a famous woman is being torn apart online for her looks. It must be a Wednesday. It's Sydney Sweeney's turn to be in the headlines, but it's her response to the body-shaming trolls that has us asking if men actually know what women look like?
