EXTRA: How Sally Hepworth Survived Her Divorce

Cath flew one-way across the country to meet a man she had already married in her head, and he cried instead of consummating. Bruna discovered she had been paying someones phone bill for two and a half years, to the tune of five grand. Mary's mum stormed a bank teller into a discount and came back with the hair to prove it. And Cath slid into a 24-year-old's DMs, purely, she swears, for the history content. Plus: the skin check Bruna avoided for years, the mentoring session that ended one woman's acting dreams, and the Unleasher wondering if 40 is too old to start again.

Grace went in for a friendly hello hug and came out with a handful she didn't ask for. Ginni got pulled up by immigration over a joke about cathedrals and thought her holiday was over. Grace also wants to outsource half her husband and most of her son, starting with his ears. And Cath got the best test results of her life and somehow felt worse than ever. Plus: the party guest who needed an ambulance, the neighbours whose sex life runs like clockwork, and the Unleasher who paid nearly a thousand dollars to be ghosted by a dating agency. And a HUGE thank you to everyone who attended The Spring Fling AKA Cath's formal. We share a little BTS audio as to what went down on the night.

Mary hired a nude dancer for a hen’s night, only for one very religious relative to become an extremely enthusiastic audience member. Bruna kept a cast fed, entertained and sane through COVID quarantine, right down to a request for a pet goanna. And Cath’s mum gave her one sentence when she was five that she’s lived by ever since. Plus, Zoë shares the travel rule she swears by, there's a girls trip thrown into chaos by one unexpected guest, and a group chat member who is about to get called out. It’s classic Unleashed full of life "advice" and the stories you can only tell your group chat. In your ears today: Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Cath Mahoney and guest Zoë Foster-Blake.

We're bringing you a special divorce episode because we know so many of you are either in the messy middle of it, or have come out the other side and found some unexpected freedom (aka the silver linings amongst the heartbreak). First up, the Unleashed hosts have done the research and found some of the wildest ex stories to prove that, whatever your ex has done, yours might not be the worst. There’s a tampon “found on the street”, a cheater who sent a Brené Brown video as an apology, and a man who took out an AVO against his own five-foot-five ex after she caught him cheating. Sally, Ginni and Cath are the divorcees of the group, and they’re joined by Mamamia host Annaliese Todd to share their hard-earned wisdom in a very non-advice advice episode. Ginni hired an actual dating coach and became a self-described dating maniac. Annaliese ditched her married name the second she saw it on a restaurant reservation card. And Cath wrote a memoir called Currently Between Husbands because, at the time, she didn’t know a single other divorced woman. Because sometimes the best divorce advice is simply hearing someone else say: yep, me too. This special episode is made possible by our friends at HBO Max. War is the hot new HBO original series on the divorce of the century streaming now only on HBO Max. In your ears today: Ginni Mansberg, Annaliese Todd, Cath Mahoney and a special voice note from Sally Hepworth. Buy tickets to The Spring Fling.
