We’re about to ruin some marriages

Hello!!! What are we oversharing today?

Laura has taken out the entire Steph & Laura team with gastro, so Michelle Andrews is stepping in for Steph today. But just how much of a Steph & Laura girl is she? We’re putting her to the test with the important questions, from sharing towels and supermarket aisles to what actually happened in the delivery room.

Then, we’re getting into a much bigger conversation. New research suggests Australia has the highest estimated prevalence of anorexia and bulimia in the world, with around one in 100 Australians affected. We’re unpacking what the findings tell us, sharing some of our own experiences with disordered eating and body image, and talking about the pressures that shape the way women feel about their bodies.

And finally, it’s time for divorce court. With the end of the year approaching, we’re looking at why relationship breakdowns tend to peak around this time before putting some listener-submitted husband behaviour on trial. From secretly changing the light bulbs to bringing home a dog without asking, we’re deciding what’s a genuine marriage dealbreaker and what’s just part of being married.
