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.

If you’re buying a gift for your partner’s sister, running through a relentless three-day menu in your head and stuffing stockings while crying - you’re not just carrying the Christmas mental load, you’re kin-keeping. We explain.

Plus, a young woman who slept with 100 men in one day is crying on the Internet and the general vibe is “I told you so.” But now Lilly Phillips is not following the script for what’s meant to happen next — she's going for 1000 men in a day in 2025. We unpack

The woman who wrote one of the best-selling books of all time about a search for romantic love has sworn off it entirely for her second act. Elizabeth Gilbert on why the LOVE has been dumped from Eat, Pray.

Outlouders, it's the season of socialising, parties and most likely, more fancy drinks than you can shake a cocktail stick at. Which is why today we wanted to share this episode of MID with you (hosted by our very own Holly Wainwright).

Holidays, celebrations, milestones. Wine o’clock, and the witching hour and the glass (or two) that marks the end of the work day. Alcohol is woven into our social lives in an almost invisible way. So what happens when you realise that the habit you thought of as your little helper is actually making everything worse?

In this episode, we're talking to Shanna Whan from Sober In The Country about why Generation X women drink so damn much. Shanna says that 90% of the people who seek support from her peer-to-peer organisation are women aged between 40 and 60. That's us, friends.

So why do Gen X women drink so damn much? How do you know if you’ve got a problem? And if it isn't you you're worried about, how do you talk to people in your life about their drinking?

If this episode raised anything for you, here are some incredible resources:

Hello Sunday Morning
Alcoholics Anonymous
Life Line
