Seasonal colour analysis has made a big comeback since the 80s, with the trend going viral on tiktok and it's no secret that Holly, Mia and Jessie are all officially obsessed. In this special episode of Mamamia Out Loud, we invited fashion designer and colour analysis expert, Kim Crowley, to unpack everything you need to know about colour.

Is it getting hot in here... or is it just peri? We have a sexy little treat for you Outlouders and it's an episode all about sex. Overlooked, touched-out and too tired. That's how many MID women feel about sex. It's how Leslie Morgan felt, too. At 49, her marriage ended, and after not having sex for three years, she decided to change that. Over the next year, Leslie found five boyfriends and discovered her sexual self wasn't actually dead, she was just having a good lie down. In this MID interview, Holly Wainwright speaks to author and advocate Leslie Morgan, to discuss what women really mean when they say they no longer care about sex, why you should never cover your wrinkles to attract a younger man (if you want one) and how it feels to have the best sex of your life after 50.

Happy New Year Outlouders! It’s the first day of 2025, and that means it's time for Word Of The Year. If you're new here... welcome to the group and to one of our most anticipated episodes of the year. New Year's resolutions can be a bit drab, so instead, every year we choose a word to that helps us set an intention for the 12 months ahead of us. Word of the year is more of a vibe that helps create a focus or filter for every moment and decision, big or small, that is to come. But before Holly, Jessie and Mia share their words for 2025... they reflect on 2024. They give themselves a performance review on their word for last year and see if they lived up to them... or better yet remembered what it was!

What a wild year 2024 has been filled with highs and lows. One thing we are grateful for is having YOU the Outlouders with us every episode of this year. In this episode, Holly, Mia and Jessie are reflecting on the year that was. From health concerns, seasons ending, best friends, life transitions.. and so much more. There is lots of deep and meaningful in this episode. Plus, Mia breaks the rules (the very rules she is so strict about) and does her best before her worst.

Did you know that this time of year is when couples therapists are booked out? Can't think why... But it's for this reason that we have today's little treat — an episode which Mia Freedman wanted to share with you all from No Filter. David Finch is a lot of things: he’s an Autism and Neurodiversity consultant, the author of The Journal of Best Practices; A Memoir of Marriage, Asperger Syndrome, and One Man’s Quest to Be a Better Husband, an essayist for the New York Times Modern Love column…and he’s also UNmarried. In this two-part special episode of No Filter, David Finch opens up to Mia about his life before and after his Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis, his quest to be the best husband and father he could be — and how he ended up UNmarried (and what that even means). You can hear the second half of Mia's conversation with David here. Support independent women's media You can find David’s books and essays here. Learn more about neurodivergent relationships here.

Outlouders, grief has no time for fancy words and clever jokes. In fact, it hasn't a lot of time for words, full-stop. It's a full-body experience that can change you on every level. And at this time of year, loss, be it past or present, can feel all the more raw. That's why this episode of MID feels so important to share today. Interfaith minister, author and death-walker Dr Jackie Bailey has experienced a great deal of loss, and she spends her life walking others through it, helping people prepare for it, and acknowledging it when it happens. If you think that makes for a depressing interview, you'd be wrong. Jackie is insightful, wise and funny, full of both practical and emotional support for the grieving. She's the perfect person to help us through the hard parts.

We often get a little reflective at this time of year. What we want more, or less, of in life. Where we're going. What it all means. And when you start thinking like this, it can lead to big life decisions. That's exactly what happened to Holly Wainwright. Three years ago, she was in this sort of reflective mood; one which ultimately led to her and her partner's decision to make the momentous family move from city to country. In this episode, Mia sits down with Holly to ask all the questions both she and the Outlouders have been wanting to know about Holly's move. Enjoy this intimate conversation about the highs and lows of making a major life choice.

Merry Christmas, Outlouders! If you need a break from family and festivities then this is the episode for you. In 2023, Jessie and Clare Stephens decided enough was enough. Someone needed to put Christmas on trial. Because while the festive season can be great, it's also stressful, overwhelming and quite frankly, a lot of pressure to be merry and bright. Today, Jessie invites you into the Cancelled courtroom to put Christmas through its paces. From over-committed schedules, to being too focused on kids and feeling kind of repetitive, there are plenty of reasons why this is a lazy gewls least favourite holiday.

“We can bury anyone: Inside a Hollywood smear machine”. That’s the New York Times headline that meant, holiday or no holiday, we were definitely bringing you a show today. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni made headlines just a few months ago for their roles in one of the year’s most-watched films, It Ends With Us. But what was happening off-screen turned out to be an even bigger story. In this emergency meeting of Out Loud, Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack the facts behind Blake's legal complaint against her co-star and director Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and an orchestrated campaign to destroy her reputation. Plus, what this lawsuit means for Hollywood power dynamics, celebrity reputations, and the way narratives are shaped online. This story has implications far beyond a single movie. It’s about the intersection of art, accountability, and the manipulation of public perception in the digital age. Join us as we break it all down.

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.

You either know everything about popular influencer Matilda Djerf or nothing but after allegations were made about her behaviour — and yes, they do include a toilet incident or two — and Djerf responded with an apology, we just had to ask, 'What's it all about?'

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?
