Mamamia Out Loud

LISTEN: Last week was World Menopause Day, and no one noticed.

Also, the new micro-compatibility test for prospective partners. Lead question: How long before a flight do you like to get to the airport? 

Plus, all our recommendations. One of which is for the stellar Out Loud gift guide, coming into your inbox from the Holly Out Loud newsletter tomorrow — but only if you're subscribed:

The Seven Year Friendship Rule

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/b16def2a-29e4-4c4b-98e6-b3a3000c7c61/transcript

Can you change a child's birthday because it's a bit... inconvenient for you? Content creator Indy Clinton wants us to believe she's doing just that with her "Christmas baby" and Sagittarians everywhere have thoughts.

Plus, Sienna Miller is pregnant and in a negligee on the British Fashion Awards this week. At 43, Holly wants to know, is this the quintessential representation of the new era of agelessness? 

Also, Pilates is dead, strength training is on its way out and a mobility obsession is on its way in - but, Amelia asks, is scolding people with the "correct" exercise trends really the way to make women move?

And an essay about motherhood ambivalence has Jessie pufferfishing. So, if you're not sure if you want kids, should you do it?

The Thing You Can’t Say About Having Kids

Beer cans with the bride and groom's faces on them, a dress that just HAD to be Aussie, and a dog in a dress... Yes, we're talking about Albo's wedding, and the problem with marrying the Prime Minister. 

Also, what does the winner of the TikTok Awards — a dad of four who posts pranks and skits with his kids online — tell us about the different standards for the way men and woman 'sharent'?

And everyone's talking about an Oprah Winfrey show episode, which is extremely 2011, about family estrangement, and the 'contagion' of going 'No Contact' with your family. Only problem is... Are all these boundaries kind of Oprah's fault?

Plus, why Robert Irwin has achieved world domination by being... nice.
