Holly's hair is on fire after she fell into a rabbit hole regarding the new 'president' of the USA. And no, it's not Donald Trump.

Jessie explains the All or Nothing story about Anna Paul and Mikaela Testa that's gone absolutely viral. And, are you a feedback friend or the cheerleader friend?

SUNDAY SPECIAL: The Cure For Burn-Out Is Cooked
Outlouders, we've just ticked off January for 2025... and who else is already exhausted? Don't worry... us too! So today we are sharing with you an episode of MID that will help you avoid burning out. Burn-Out, says author Katherine May, is what happens when you repeatedly ignore your own needs. Sound familiar? The first signs are often that you can't focus. Can't read, maybe. Can't sleep, or sleep too much? Can't eat, or can't stop eating? You're Tired All The Time. You have that cold that just won't leave.The cure, everyone says, is simple: Slow down, Darl. But it's not so easy when everyone needs something from you. Author and advocate Katherine May - creator of the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling books Wintering and Enchantment - thinks that the way we're taught to deal with burn-out is unrealistic for most women, particularly midlife women with overflowing plates. Waking up to meditate is not so easy when you've got lunches to make, work to do, life to live. And let's face it, a world that prioritises productivity hacks isn't exactly championing meaningful rest. So how do you replenish, in 2025, when absolutely everyone's lost their charger?

Micropettiness & A Generation Of Try-Hards
Today on the pod, we're tackling everything from your wardrobe's existential crisis to if trying hard is ever enough (and yes, there's a connection... sort of). Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack: • The Gen Z fashion police strike again. Another beloved item has been sent to the cells. But we have a defence prepared and we're taking this to the Supreme (Fashion) Court 👩⚖️ • A+ For Effort? A viral essay has everyone asking if we should reward trying hard over actually succeeding. Spoiler: It's complicated, and we're all feeling very seen right now. Plus, our recommendations that will enhance your life (massive claim but we're sticking by it). 🌟 Mia's streaming: A show about... bitches? Trust us, it's not what you think. 🌟 Holly's eating: The perfect meal to enjoy while wearing your weighted vest (as one does). 🌟 Jessie's watching: A tear-jerker that requires a tissue warning (and possibly a support group). And we wrap with a Best & Worst so juicy that Mia had to make an announcement about it. Enjoy!

We’re In Act 2 Of Lively v. Baldoni And We Hate It Here
We're right in the middle of Act 2 of the rolling Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama and our goldfish tendencies are showing. Jessie connects all the dots and explains a peculiar internet theory. Plus, the neggy dating advice you should almost certainly ignore. And, we've cracked the code. As it turns out, there's a direct (but chaotic) line from "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" to "My wife isn't my type!" How MAFS became the spiritual successor to The Jerry Springer Show (and why we can't look away).
