Show Notes
For years, the most damning thing anyone could say about Meghan Markle was that she doesn’t speak to her dad. This week, that story took a very dark turn. Holly, Jessie and Amelia unpack the allegations against Thomas Markle (which he denies), Meghan’s response and the role the tabloids have played in all of this. Plus, if you’re having a rubbish start to the week, it could be because Mercury is now in retrograde in Scorpio! If that sentence gave you the maths-lady meme face, Amelia explains why the next ten days could change the world. Also, Leigh Campbell, host of You Beauty, posted a very serious Instagram carousel over the weekend announcing a big life decision. We break down our thoughts. And, Margot Robbie is back on Ramsay Street. Sort of. Yes even though Neighbours has vanished from our screens, it seems it could be coming back in a very different way. Plus, if you’re in our wonderful Mamamia Outlouders Facebook group, Holly wants to have a chat… If you or anyone you know needs expert help, please contact 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) — the National Sexual Assault, Domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service. If you are in immediate danger, call 000.

More from Mamamia Out Loud
Somewhere on Lily Allen’s tour schedule, between soundcheck and emails, was “test butt plug”. Holly unpacks the new merch and asks whether celebrity sex toys are still smart business, or just the new perfume.
“Thank you, you lovely people. I appreciate your help.” Those were reportedly Helen Haines’s first words to the strangers who ran to her aid outside her Wangaratta office on Monday. Jessie, Mia and Holly reflect on the woman, described by all sides of politics as the best of us, on the strangers who ran to help her, and on what female politicians are now saying about their safety. Our love goes to Helen and her family.
What happens when you announce your divorce with an FAQ and forget your Instagram is public? A man named Michael found out, five million views later, and now Em needs answers. Who initiated it? Who gets custody of the pet social account? And are Millie and Bug even dogs?
Andy Lee and Bec Harding were together 12 years before they married in New York on the weekend, and Holly Wainwright isn’t mad, she’s just disappointed. Plus, a man online says it’s rude NOT to ask to stay at a friend’s place when you’re in their city. Holly, Jessie and Amelia draw up the houseguest rules, right down to who strips the bed. Also, Amelia unpacks what’s really happening on the streets of France, and how Pope Leo handled a phone call from Vladimir Putin three days after surgery. And, three cookbooks made the list of Australia’s top 100 books. Jessie wants to know if a cookbook even counts, and what to make of the influencers who say they've never read a book.

What actually is perimenopause, and how would you know if you’re in it? Outlouders, we’re popping into your feed on a Sunday for a very important conversation: a special Out Loud episode, where we're talking perimenopause and menopause. Amelia Lester, Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Leigh Campbell are five women at three life stages, from 35 and seven months postpartum to 55 and on the other side of menopause. One of us forgot what year it was this morning. Another questioned whether 'rage' could be added to a list of possible symptoms or whether people actually were being a lot more irritating! You’ll hear why perimenopause can look like a pile of unrelated symptoms, right up until it doesn’t, and why so many women blame themselves for not recognising symptoms they didn’t know were connected. Plus, what the “Wonder Woman era” really means, the sleep that vanished overnight, the skincare that stopped loving them back and the brain fog that sent Leigh downstairs chanting “yoghurt”. And, the upside nobody mentions, what the women who’ve been through it wish they’d known sooner and the one step everyone at the table says made the difference. For evidence-based health information about perimenopause and menopause, head to health.gov.au/perimenopause This episode has been created in partnership with the Australian Government. We want to hear from you! Take our quick 3-minute survey for your chance to win a $1,000 gift card. You can now watch our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app or on Youtube.
