Sally's dad had chest pains, so she drove him across town... to the wrong hospital, because he wanted the nicer one. Then she ended up with actual poop on her hands walking the family dogs. Cath did a full CSI-style deep clean before a friend came to stay, and Ginni confessed she is, unsettlingly, guest-ready at all times, no cleaning frenzy required. Oh, and Bruna has given herself a new job title. Plus: the exact age science says is the unhappiest of your whole life, and why one of them is only one year off it.

In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Ginni Mansberg, Sally Hepworth and Cath Mahoney.

Why Age 47 Is The Rock Bottom Year On The Happiness Curve. Gulp.

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/ff7b18b2-3007-41b3-88f3-b4be000fee92/transcript

Dr Ginni has six days left with her mum before she passes away.

As Unleashers would know, Ginni’s mum is very ill and has been for a long time. She has made the decision to choose voluntary assisted dying.

This is Part 2 of Ginni and her mum’s story, if you missed Part 1, you can listen here. 

In this episode, Ginni opens up about life with a countdown on her mum’s life. From doctors' visits and the stark reality of someone’s final days, to the complicated family dynamics that don't simply disappear when the end is near.

Because losing a parent isn't always simple. Sometimes, the person you love and admire most is also the person whose approval you've spent your whole life chasing.

If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

I Have 6 Days Left With My Mum. Our Relationship Is Complicated: Ginni’s Story Part 2

The Unleashed hosts have a movie pitch for Bruna and she is extremely underwhelmed. Georgie can't open a bottle of milk anymore without her wrist giving out. Ginni explains the real reason your jaw can seize up over something as small as a yawn. Bruna reveals her plan for the ultimate girls' commune, right down to the house rules.

Plus, the noise that apparently ends your husband's chances tonight, a retirement plan built entirely around gossip, and a listener whose almost-moment in the kitchen got a lot more attention than she wanted.

In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Ginni Mansberg, Georgie Page and Cath Mahoney.

Apparently You Can Injure Yourself By Yawning. This Is Getting Ridiculous

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/c0c826d8-ba3a-4e07-8c68-b4a9005e32f6/transcript

We talk a lot about getting older. Usually, we’re here for a laugh, because God knows we need one. But sometimes, at this stage of life, we also need to have a cry.

For Gen X, that can mean watching our parents age and facing the realities of serious illness.

Our co-host Ginni is living this right now. Her mum has been very ill for a long time and has made the decision to choose voluntary assisted dying.

It’s been a long and complicated road for Ginni and her family, and she’s decided to share this deeply personal experience with us in the hope it might help another family.

This is a three-part series taking us through the before, the moment itself and the after.

If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.
