The Week That Was: Katie Price’s Missing Husband, Burning Man Orgies & Celebrity Home Tour Conspiracies

Another week, another influencer controversy. But when does an apology actually mean something? This week on The Week That Was, Kate and Tansy unpack racism, influencer scandals and the art of the public apology (or lack thereof). They also get into the darker side of social media, from the growing hostility towards politicians to political violence, societal division and the real-world consequences of online hate. Are we holding people accountable or just fuelling the outrage machine? And why are marginalised communities still expected to educate everyone else? Big conversations, uncomfortable questions and plenty to unpack. It's The Blunt and the Beautiful.

Why do we constantly feel like we're not thin enough, rich enough, successful enough or simply GOOD enough?This week on The Blunt & The Beautiful, Kate Forster and Tansy Gorman unpack the scarcity mindset and why so many of us spend our lives chasing more, yet never feel satisfied.From emotional spending and shopping addiction to social media comparison, hustle culture and the pressure to keep up, Kate and Tansy explore how our relationship with money, success and self-worth shapes the way we live.Kate reveals how feeling unworthy led her to give away money to strangers and take out a credit card for cellulite cream that did absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, Tansy confesses to her Afterpay habits, questionable university purchases and the expensive little treats that were supposed to make everything better.They also tackle the psychology behind impulse buying, limited-edition products, influencer marketing, designer dupes and why we're so terrified of missing out.You cannot buy, earn or achieve your way into feeling worthy.Subscribe for more honest, funny and occasionally filthy conversations about life, relationships, money, mental health and everything in between.The Blunt & The Beautiful with Kate Forster and Tansy Gorman.#ScarcityMindset #TheBluntAndTheBeautiful #SelfWorth

Astro Talk: 18–24 October | Before You Send That Message If you’re investigating a full stop in someone’s text, this week’s Astro Talk is for you, as Mercury prepares to join Venus retrograde in Scorpio and the Sun–Venus conjunction offers a fresh perspective on what matters to you. Kate explores the difference between intuition and assumption, and why wanting reassurance can sometimes turn into testing the people we love. With Scorpio season beginning, we also look at what happens when you finally admit that something you worked hard to achieve no longer feels worth the effort.

A $15,000 mechanical bird, a comedian who can't stop offending women and Tyra Banks doing 20 different voices. What a fucking week. This week on The Week That Was, Kate and Tansy unpack Shane Gillis's controversial SNL monologue, Kelly Clarkson's very public stoush with a Brooklyn antique shop and the internet's obsession with a singing bird nobody's allowed to buy. Then there's Tyra Banks narrating her completely unhinged fantasy novel Modelland, celebrity baby names that sound like Victorian orphans, and Julia Stiles bringing Save the Last Dance back to the dance floor. Plus, seven-year-old Tansy terrorising the family nanny, Kate appointing herself the arsehole police and a very important birthday announcement. Bad jokes, big egos and absolutely no bird for you. #TheWeekThatWas #TheBluntAndTheBeautiful #ShaneGillis #KellyClarkson #TyraBanks #SNL #CelebrityNews #PopCulture

Apparently we're now qualified to solve everyone's problems.Questionable? Absolutely.So this week, we handed the podcast over to you and invited you to ask us anything. Careers. Parents. Partners. Empty nests. Work friends. Narcissists. Grief. LinkedIn (which, as you know, remains my natural enemy). Nothing was off limits.We talk about why women are still terrified of backing themselves, why your work bestie might actually just be a trauma bond with a shared lunch break, and why if someone tells you you're "too much", they can politely go and find less.We tackle narcissistic parents, the complicated grief of missing someone who's still alive, whether it's ever okay to stop rescuing your family, and why becoming an empty nester isn't the end of your story... it might actually be the beginning of the best bit.There's also a healthy amount of swearing, unsolicited relationship advice, Tansy comparing LinkedIn to a soggy biscuit, and at least one reminder that you're dead a long time - so wear the sneakers, cut your hair, paint with your boobs if that's what makes you happy.This episode is funny. It's honest. It's a little bit feral. And if you've ever found yourself asking, "Am I the problem?"... well, come sit with us before you decide.We unpack:Why confidence gets labelled as arrogance (especially if you're a woman)The truth about work friends"My partner says I'm too much..."Narcissistic parents and family estrangementEmpty nest syndrome without losing yourselfSupporting adult children without enabling themWhether 50 is too late to reinvent your life (spoiler: absolutely not)Grief, boundaries and why sometimes love means saying no.Pull up a chair. Put the kettle on.Or pour the wine.We're not judging.#TheBluntAndTheBeautiful #AdvicePodcast #WomenSupportingWomen #Relationships #Dating #FamilyDrama #MotherDaughter #Boundaries #CareerAdvice #Confidence #WomenInBusiness #EmptyNest #NarcissisticParents #MentalHealth #SelfWorth #PersonalGrowth #LifeAdvice #AustralianPodcast #PodcastRecommendations #ComedyPodcast
