Hey lifers!
We are coming to you cross continental! Britt is in Romania and has met her brand new niece! We get some updates on how her reunion has been and whether meeting her dream, unicorn niece has shifted the needle on her decision around having a baby herself.
Laura confesses to rage baiting us all and she's high on the power. Will her house end up looking like Dr Seuss? Most likely!

Vibes for the week:

Laura: All in the mind. The design tricks brands use to get you to buy
Keeshia: Search Engine - What if ayahuasca made you stop podcasting?
Britt: Just Married. The Anthea Bradshaw Mystery

Then we jump into your questions!

HUSBAND DOESN'T LIKE ME WEARING G STRINGS
Been together 12 years (since I was 17), married with 3 young kids. When I was younger, I never wore g-strings and thought they were uncomfortable. Fast forward to my late 20s, and in the past year I've started wearing them to the gym for comfort and more of a seamless style. My husband does not like this. He thinks I'm disrespecting his boundaries and that I'm not being a good wife because I'm 'parading' myself by wearing that kind of underwear with shorts/leggings running or to gym, while he is working hard to provide for our family. I think the request to control the type of underwear I wear is over the top, and it was a decision I made for my own comfort and not to parade to others. I don't want to disrespect him or his boundaries though. What should I do?

SHOULD I BE OFFENDED THAT I WASN’T ASKED TO GO TO THE CHRISTMAS PARTY?
My partner works in a professional job and is employed by the government. I’ve met only a few of his colleagues. For their work Christmas party, they were just going out for dinner to a restaurant that is about an hour away from where we actually live (it’s 20 minutes from their workplace). He initially said that he wasn’t sure if he was going to go but his colleague had said that he should. I asked if partners were also invited and his response was ‘yes’.
I was a bit taken back because he did not ask me if I wanted to go. When I mentioned this he responded “well you wouldn’t want to go to that surely?” It’s true; it’s not my idea of a good time but I’m feeling upset that I wasn’t actually asked. Is it normal to not ask your partner to go to a Christmas party when there is the option for partners to be included?

HUSBAND ISN'T HELPING WITH HOSTING CHRISTMAS FUNCTION

Each year, my cousin, her husband and my husband do Christmas dinner. We plan it in January as December is hectic and we plant it a year out. This year my husband and I are hosting. The problem is that my husband has just been invited to a work mate’s bucks party and it falls on the same day as our Christmas tradition night. He has said yes to going to the bucks for bottomless lunch, but here I am having to clean, prepare the food, decorate and get everything sorted all on my own. On top of this, the day before is my husband’s work Christmas function. So I’m fully on my own riding this beast. I’m annoyed that I’ve been lumped with all of the responsibilities. What can I actually do about this? Do I just ‘suck it up’ and try to not allow the dates for next time to clash so much or do I cancel our Christmas dinner?

We’re all aware of the societal pressures and expectations put on us to have achieved certain things by the time we reach certain ages, but what about the questions we ask ourselves when a new decade looms? Whether you have or haven’t ticked off the traditional expectations of buying a house, getting married and starting a family, it seems as though we are all collectively asking ourselves more questions about who we are and what we want to be as we reach our 30s.

Joining the podcast today is Bridget Hustwaite. Bridget is a presenter, an author, a podcaster and a content creator. Going into 30, Bridget looked as though she had it all figured out: she was well established in her career, she was in a 5 year long relationship with aspirations to settle down, she was financially independent and had found purpose in her advocacy for endometriosis. And then shit hit the fan and the expectations of what Bridget thought her future would look like crumbled.

Bridget has a brand new book coming out called “figuring out 30” and chats with us about all of the unexpected lessons we learn when we question who we really are and what we are led to believe we ‘should’ want.

We speak about:

• The strange internal feelings we can get around milestones

• Going through a significant break up just before reaching 30

• We all fear ‘starting over’. Is this the best it’s going to get?

• Family dynamics and estrangement and how it shaped her understanding of herself

• The way people react when they find out that you aren’t in contact with your own family members vs how common it actually is

• Maternal desire. Figuring out the kid equation in your 30s

• How Bridget’s endometriosis affects fertility

• Can you be a feminist and support marriage?

• What modern marriage means

• What it’s like reentering the dating world in your 30s

Hey Lifers!

It's Laura and Keeshia today for the last Tuesday episode of the year (or maybe ever...)!
Britt is over in Romania visiting Ben but she'll be back on Thursday for Ask Uncut.

Christmas is really freaking soon and Laura is banking on the local RSL meat raffle to make up for her disorganised state! Laura and the family had a blast at the carols and met her new girl crush Emma Memma.
If you’re an iPhone person, do you stick to even or odd numbered iPhones or are you just updating it whenever you feel you need?

We have some big changes coming to next year! We speak through the results of our last survey and how we are mixing things up next year!

There's a documentary that is going viral on youtube at the moment titled "I Slept With 100 Men In One Day". It follows Onlyfans star Lily Phillips and the aftermath of Lily's challenge where she is quite distraught after completing the challenge.
We speak about the complexity of these types of conversations when so much has been done to shift the narrative of sex work and highlight how platforms like onlyfans can be empowering, when the reality of this situation blurs those lines.
We ask:

• Why is it that this documentary made us feel uncomfortable?
• Whether the stunts continue to become more and more outrageous to keep attention and subscribers?
• If the concern for her wellbeing is faux care/ shame dressed up in a different costume?
