US Election Emergency Meeting: Not Again

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/691ef2a4-6c2d-4909-80ab-b220004886d0/transcript

Medi Mums #medicalmoms are on the rise on social media. Don't know what we're talking about? Listen in as we discuss why parents share their children's moments when they're at their most vulnerable --- and why.  

Plus, is the era of the celebrity endorsement over? Eva Longoria made her thoughts about the new US president clear but after the election, no-one seems to want to hear what she, or any other celebrity, think. 

And are you in your Protective Hag era? Let's just say that one of the hosts is and one... not so much. Buckle up for the discussion.

The Influencer Family We Can’t Talk About

Surely the tallest of poppies is the man who declares himself the Sexiest Man Alive? John Kransinski is the latest to take the title and yes, there's a strategy. Pull up a chair while we unpack exactly how something old turned into something new.

Plus, bullying, phones and a teenage girl’s legacy. What actually needs to change to fulfil what’s being called Charlotte’s Wish. We discuss. 

And, has it been the year of the thirsty midlife woman? Bridget Jones is back, she’s dating a younger man, and at least one millennial columnist thinks "that's enough now".

Horny Midlife Women & The Sexiest Man Alive

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/570ace3f-23eb-45c9-b214-b22b01884efe/transcript

Jackie O was deep into a years-long addiction to pills and alcohol until one phone call changed her life.

There’s a reason Jackie O kept her addiction to pain medication and alcohol a secret for so long: shame. But now, she wants to share her story of recovery and healing with the world and to help other people get the help they need - and so she’s sharing the hard truths of the years she spent struggling.

Jackie and her best friend Gemma sit down for a searingly honest conversation with Mia Freedman about how Jackie found herself at her low point and finally had to admit her addiction to Gemma - and how Gemma got Jackie to rehab without the press finding out.

This is a story about addiction and recovery, but it’s also a story of the life-saving quality of friendship.

You can hear part two of Mia's conversation here.

Jackie is donating the proceeds from the sale of her memoir to Odyssey House - you can learn more about them here.

You can find Jackie O’s memoir, The Whole Truth, here.

You can learn more about Besties - Jackie & Gemma’s project - here.

And if this episode triggered anything for you and you need someone to talk to, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
