The Weight Went To A Completely New Place And I Have Questions

Show notes
On today’s show, one Unleasher’s weight has moved somewhere completely new, and she no longer recognises her own body.
Cath and Dr Ginni take on the myth that won’t die: can your underwire bra give you breast cancer? Then Cath brings a burning question about her own body: two skin tags, one very honest teenage son and whether she can just snip them off herself. Spoiler, no she can't.
Plus quick ones on thinning hair, why two glasses of wine now feels like a hangover and stiff joints in the morning. And the Dr’s orders, exactly what to say to your GP about weight, skin tags and thinning hair.

What Would Make You Walk Out Of A Date In The First 10 Seconds?

Show notes
Sally has a stack of new boundaries she hasn’t said out loud yet, and she wants a second opinion on whether they make her the villain. Annaliese filmed a date for TikTok, and the man showed up in toe shoes. The twist: he’d also arranged to meet her friend at the same bar, at the same time.
Ginni weighs in on whether expired makeup will actually hurt you (with a very unscientific lipstick hack) and admits she has no boundaries when it comes to her dog’s tongue. And a listener who quit as class parent rep and now has parents begging her back. The hosts’ solution involves retirees.
In your ears today: Ginni Mansberg, Sally Hepworth and Annaliese Todd, filling in for Cath Mahoney.

Show notes
Welcome to Burning Questions.
If you grew up with Dolly Doctor, this show is for you. No question is too embarrassing, too niche or too weird. On this brand new show, Cath Mahoney asks the health questions you’ve sent us and Dr Ginni Mansberg answers them.
On today's show, one Unleasher is surviving on three or four broken hours a night and is desperate for answers.
Cath puts TikTok’s favourite peri fix, turmeric, to the test. She also asks the question we’re all asking with a glass in hand: is the nightly red helping you nod off, or is it the reason you’re awake at 3am?
Plus quick ones on metabolism in your 50s, your pelvic floor and vaginal dryness. And the Dr’s orders, exactly what to say to your GP about your sleep.

Show notes
Bruna tried very hard to be zen about being stuck in Hawaii even though it took 55 hours and two cancelled flights to get home. Cath walked out of a Pilates class halfway through, in front of everyone, in a t-shirt that looked like she’d dressed out of a bin. Ginni swapped the hardest day of an Italian hike for a ferry packed with 500,000 of her closest friends, and we all learned what a crampon is. (Not a hiking tampon.)
Plus, the Substack that told Gen X women they were sold a myth. And a listener whose daughter came home to find her bed replaced with a Pilates reformer.
In your ears today: Ginni Mansberg, Bruna Papandrea and Cath Mahoney.

Show notes
Sally was unprepared for an overseas mishap as a single parent. Annaliese steps in for Cath and shares how she’s entered the era of “having a fall” rather than simply falling over. Mary gave a friend some tough love, and it paid off, but it’s a risky move to pull.
Plus, the extremely unscientific reasons we’re all getting injured in our sleep after 40 (Ginni was sorely needed for this one… or perhaps Dr Bruna Papandrea). And a listener whose sister left her out of the bridal party. The hosts’ advice? It involves a white dress.
In your ears today: Mary Coustas, Sally Hepworth and Annaliese Todd, filling in for Cath Mahoney.

Are You An Energy Vampire Or A Joy Attractor?

Show notes
Cath flew one-way across the country to meet a man she had already married in her head, and he cried instead of consummating. Bruna discovered she had been paying someones phone bill for two and a half years, to the tune of five grand. Mary's mum stormed a bank teller into a discount and came back with the hair to prove it. And Cath slid into a 24-year-old's DMs, purely, she swears, for the history content. Plus: the skin check Bruna avoided for years, the mentoring session that ended one woman's acting dreams, and the Unleasher wondering if 40 is too old to start again.
Medical and pre-operative advice varies by individual; always follow the fasting and medication instructions given by your treating medical practitioner or anaesthetist.
In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Mary Coustas and Cath Mahoney.

Show notes
Grace went in for a friendly hello hug and came out with a handful she didn't ask for. Ginni got pulled up by immigration over a joke about cathedrals and thought her holiday was over. Grace also wants to outsource half her husband and most of her son, starting with his ears. And Cath got the best test results of her life and somehow felt worse than ever.
Plus: the party guest who needed an ambulance, the neighbours whose sex life runs like clockwork, and the Unleasher who paid nearly a thousand dollars to be ghosted by a dating agency.
And a HUGE thank you to everyone who attended The Spring Fling AKA Cath's formal. We share a little BTS audio as to what went down on the night.
In your ears today: Mary Coustas, Grace Lam, Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney.

Buy tickets to The Spring Fling.
Author and skincare founder Zoë Foster Blake joins this week’s Unleashed and she’s bringing her new book, Group Chat, to the couch.
Mary hired a nude dancer for a hen’s night, only for one very religious relative to become an extremely enthusiastic audience member. Bruna kept a cast fed, entertained and sane through COVID quarantine, right down to a request for a pet goanna. And Cath’s mum gave her one sentence when she was five that she’s lived by ever since.
Plus, Zoë shares the travel rule she swears by, there's a girls trip thrown into chaos by one unexpected guest, and a group chat member who is about to get called out.
It’s classic Unleashed full of life "advice" and the stories you can only tell your group chat.
In your ears today: Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Cath Mahoney and guest Zoë Foster-Blake.
You can buy Zoe's book Group Chat here.

The One Thing That Got Me Through My Divorce

Show notes
We're bringing you a special divorce episode because we know so many of you are either in the messy middle of it, or have come out the other side and found some unexpected freedom (aka the silver linings amongst the heartbreak).
First up, the Unleashed hosts have done the research and found some of the wildest ex stories to prove that, whatever your ex has done, yours might not be the worst. There’s a tampon “found on the street”, a cheater who sent a Brené Brown video as an apology, and a man who took out an AVO against his own five-foot-five ex after she caught him cheating.
Sally, Ginni and Cath are the divorcees of the group, and they’re joined by Mamamia host Annaliese Todd to share their hard-earned wisdom in a very non-advice advice episode.
Ginni hired an actual dating coach and became a self-described dating maniac. Annaliese ditched her married name the second she saw it on a restaurant reservation card. And Cath wrote a memoir called Currently Between Husbands because, at the time, she didn’t know a single other divorced woman.
Because sometimes the best divorce advice is simply hearing someone else say: yep, me too.
This special episode is made possible by our friends at HBO Max. War is the hot new HBO original series on the divorce of the century streaming now only on HBO Max.
In your ears today: Ginni Mansberg, Annaliese Todd, Cath Mahoney and a special voice note from Sally Hepworth.

Cath went to the gynaecologist and came out with a story that involves stirrups, a giant screen, and a confession about waxing she did not mean to make. Sally used her own best friend as a human shield during a school egg fight. Also up for discussion is why nobody throws you a party for the last time you push a pram, and whether Gen Z has just figured out boundaries before the rest of us caught on. Plus, could Bruna win Survivor, Love Island or Australia's Next Top Model.

Show notes
Over the past two episodes, our co-host Ginni has shared the deeply personal story of her mum's decision to access voluntary assisted dying.
In this final episode, Ginni takes us through the day her mum died and what came next.
Because when all the planning is done and you've left the hospital for the last time, nobody can really prepare you for waking up the next morning and knowing the person who has been part of your life since the day you were born, is suddenly gone.
We're meeting Ginni one week later, in the messy middle of grief.
This is Part 3 of Ginni's special series. You can also listen to Part 1 and Part 2.
If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

Sally's dad had chest pains, so she drove him across town... to the wrong hospital, because he wanted the nicer one. Then she ended up with actual poop on her hands walking the family dogs. Cath did a full CSI-style deep clean before a friend came to stay, and Ginni confessed she is, unsettlingly, guest-ready at all times, no cleaning frenzy required. Oh, and Bruna has given herself a new job title. Plus: the exact age science says is the unhappiest of your whole life, and why one of them is only one year off it.

Dr Ginni has six days left with her mum before she passes away.
As Unleashers would know, Ginni’s mum is very ill and has been for a long time. She has made the decision to choose voluntary assisted dying.
This is Part 2 of Ginni and her mum’s story, if you missed Part 1, you can listen here.
In this episode, Ginni opens up about life with a countdown on her mum’s life. From doctors' visits and the stark reality of someone’s final days, to the complicated family dynamics that don't simply disappear when the end is near.
Because losing a parent isn't always simple. Sometimes, the person you love and admire most is also the person whose approval you've spent your whole life chasing.
If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

Ginni explains the real reason your jaw can seize up over something as small as a yawn. Bruna reveals her plan for the ultimate girls' commune, right down to the house rules.
Plus, the noise that apparently ends your husband's chances tonight, a retirement plan built entirely around gossip, and a listener whose almost-moment in the kitchen got a lot more attention than she wanted.
In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Ginni Mansberg, Georgie Page and Cath Mahoney.

I Know The Day My Mum Is Going To Die: Ginni’s Story Part 1

Show notes
We talk a lot about getting older. Usually, we’re here for a laugh, because God knows we need one. But sometimes, at this stage of life, we also need to have a cry.
For Gen X, that can mean watching our parents age and facing the realities of serious illness.
Our co-host Ginni is living this right now. Her mum has been very ill for a long time and has made the decision to choose voluntary assisted dying.
It’s been a long and complicated road for Ginni and her family, and she’s decided to share this deeply personal experience with us in the hope it might help another family.
This is a three-part series taking us through the before, the moment itself and the after.
If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

The Spring Fling Committee is officially meeting. Buy tickets to The Spring Fling.
Cath accidentally gave Dannii Minogue a full Basic Instinct moment. Georgie will defend her sleep bra collection to her grave. Bruna's mum has a Google Alert set up and reports back whether she likes her work or not.
And somehow, everyone's first job scarred them for life... burns, tips, tiny wrists, and one very large tray. Plus: the four-month house guest nobody knows how to evict, and the world's most detailed dummy's guide to solo parenting.

Show notes
Cath is getting her formal!! Democracy has won.
Buy tickets to The Spring Fling.
The Unleashed family is growing, with a new voice joining the couch: Georgie Page. And she’s joining with some cracking stories, including the time she sent her actual wedding invite to actual royalty… and then made the fatal mistake of reading the comments. Mary got run over as a kid, sort of, and her reaction still haunts her. Grace heard one podcast episode and nearly torched her marriage over a park ban.
And Cath blanked so hard at the mechanic she just started announcing her hormones to strangers.
Plus: the pub comeback Cath still high-fives herself for, the neighbour note that ended Georgie's singing career, and the cafe comment about Mary's "granddaughter" that we will never, ever let go.

Sally's ex sent an accidental message that has us all cringing, and now she has to decide if bailing him out of humiliation is still her job. Ginni puts the whole midlife supplement stack under the microscope, plus the "Enhanced Games" scam nobody saw coming. There's also a proper gut-punch listener dilemma this week: what do you do when your dead mum's estranged family wants a separate goodbye? Grace has some very personal advice to share on that one. And Cath may finally be getting the school formal she never had (decades late, taffeta mandatory).

Or keep your mouth shut and wait for the whole thing to implode? Mary learned that telling the truth can come back to bite you. Meanwhile, Cath went heavy petting in a 12th-century graveyard and Grace got caught mid-pash with her knickers around her ankles and a pack of wild dogs closing in. Bruna makes adult dramas but can’t stop watching teenage ones, and Mary's worried we've lost the art of small talk.
Plus, can two sisters grow up in the same house and remember completely different childhoods?

In a time before social media, before camera phones and before anyone could prove anything, one of us had a toilet-line kiss with Robbie Williams. And somehow, that is not even the funniest celebrity story in this episode.
Sally says there is a childhood trend directly linked to her declining mental health. Mary once thought she was pregnant at eight years old. Bruna takes aim at the myth that women vanish after 40. And a very spicy problem involving an affair, a soulmate and one dinner table nobody wants to sit at.

You know Mary Coustas as one of Australia's funniest women: the brilliant mind behind the big-haired, iconic character Effie who has graced our screens and stage for over 30 years. But in this episode from the archives, we're bringing you a different side of Mary.
In this No Filter conversation with Mia Freedman, Mary talks about her unfaltering desire to become a mother, the unimaginable loss of enduring 23 IVF attempts, and the absolute joy of finally welcoming her daughter at 49. It’s honest, unflinchingly raw, deeply moving, and a chance to get to know this beloved icon a whole lot better.

Show notes
Have you heard the one about the wife who cares for everyone else.... but when she's sick she gets the four hour husband? Mary reckons it's all about love languages. Could Cath Mahoney be Australia's next Golden Bachelorette? Hollywood Producer Bruna Papandrea is on the case. Bruna opens the HR file on office romances, and the things we got up to in a time before relationship policies came in. What happens when a friendship fades? Bruna lets one slip and gets called out on it. And Grace Lam harbors a dream to be an Italian Mafia boss. Obviously.

Show notes
Does ambition die in midlife, or are we just getting started? And what happens when your drive is as strong as ever, but your body is screaming stop? You know Bruna Papandrea as an absolute powerhouse: a Hollywood super-producer who went from working-class Adelaide to becoming one of the most successful forces in Hollywood, bringing us massive hits like Big Little Lies and Gone Girl.
But in this episode from the archives of MID, we're bringing you a different side of Bruna. In this conversation with Holly Wainwright, Bruna strips back the Hollywood glamour to talk about the complex reality of ambition, what it’s like to manage the invisible reality of Lupus, and the brutal hormonal flares that can happen when midlife hits. It’s honest, fast-paced, a little bit raw, and a chance to get to know this industry icon a whole lot better.

One missing blazer has triggered a full time whatsapp group situation and Sally is over it. Bruna once went The Godfather on the kindergarten parents and has no regrets. Cath Mahoney never got a formal, never got a corsage, and is still a little bit heartbroken about the taffeta dress she never wore. Sally got a flat tyre and handed the whole mess to her men and felt great about it. Plus the eulogy that broke us.

Show notes
If you're a midlife woman - or live with someone who is - this episode is an absolute must-listen.
We love Dr. Ginni Mansberg for her no-BS medical wisdom and her completely unfiltered take on women’s health. In this No Filter conversation with Mia Freedman, she strips back the clinical talk to get incredibly real about the chaotic reality of perimenopause and menopause - and the wild things that start happening to your body as early as your late thirties.
Ginni's own story is also lean-in interesting: she’s a mum of six to a blended family, is a resident doctor on TV shows like Sunrise and Embarrassing Bodies and is the author of The M Word - a guide to surviving and thriving through menopause and its chaotic little sister, perimenopause.
Dr Ginni shares her ultimate survival guide for a phase of life that is either happening right now or coming for you next. This chat is honest, fast-paced and a chance to get the straight-talking advice we all desperately need.This episode originally aired on No Filter.

Show notes
Mary accidentally glimpsed a married man's Google search and now she has to pretend to be blind for the rest of her life. Bruna has discovered boxing, and has the Rocky song in her head and a very specific enemy face on the bag. Sally admits she may have cheated at Wordle for family reasons. Cath's driving instructor kept a wooden ruler on his lap, which feels less like a lesson and more like a minor crime. And after Bruna admits to escaping a wellness retreat, Sally rings ones to ask the thing no one else was brave enough to: how often do people run for their lives?
Also, why tiny joys are the ones we hold onto, and one adult son who moved back home and started treating the place like a hotel.
