Life Uncut

Hey Lifers! Welcome back to therapy Thursday. Producer Keeshia is filling in for Laura today because she has a big announcement coming! She's been training really hard at ninja school. We kick off this episode with asking whether you still have the exclusivity conversation with someone that you've been seeing. Is it implied or do we still need to actually chat this out?Britt gives us an update and some more details about her pre cancerous skin treatment and ask you what the silliest reason you've  Our vibes for the week are:Keeshia: wire free bralettes that go up to big cup sizes here Britt: Firefly lane on Netflix Then we jump into your questions: I have a bit of a troubled relationship with my mum. Nothing she has done has been actually problematic but we just simply don’t get along. I find her to be excessively passive aggressive, she belittles how I parent and whenever I think about going to family events or talking to her it causes me a lot of anxiety. With mother’s day coming up this weekend, I’m feeling super uncomfortable about having to be all lovey dovey and get her a gift and tell her she’s a good mum. I feel really guilty for feeling like this because I know a lot of people have it much worse. I’m meant to be taking my two kids to see her on Sunday for mother’s day and I just feel so uncomfortable. Does anyone else feel like this? What should I do? I've been in a committed relationship with my partner for just over a year now. But... My question is about knowing about his past relationships. At the start, in our dating phase, I never really asked him questions about his ex's (how long they were together, how serious it was, if they met his parents/family, why they broke up, how they met, etc). Now we're deep into our relationship and I feel nothing but secure with him, so it feels odd to bring it up ... But I still catch myself being curious about his past relationships and I just want to know. Maybe it comes from an insecurity deep down in me cos I really don't like the thought of him being with other girls in the past. I don't know? Is it normal to want to know or does wanting to know only stem from insecurity? Do I need to know? Should I ask & if so, how? I have been talking to a guy for months now and we just recently went on 2 dates. He seemed genuine and in my eyes we seemed to get along really well. Although then one day he just stopped replying. Is it reasonable to ask them why they stopped replying or just forget about it and move on?If you have a question, send it in to our InstagramYou can join the facebook group here and follow us on tiktokTell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because we love love! xx  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Lifers, Welcome back to your weekly therapy session! This week we're kicking things off with a bit of an in house debate and it's farshun honey! Look it up!Speaking of fashion, we're unpacking whether you can separate someone's legacy and the art that they've created from who they are as a person. Can you celebrate someone who has made a huge impact on the world despite not agreeing with their controversial views?   Vibes this week:Laura: L'Oreal Paris Paradise Mascara Intense Black here Britt: Great lengths hair extensions here Keeshia: Podcast episode of The Daily - The ballad of deepfake Drake here Then we jump into your questions: -Have a question for all your dog owners out there. How many of you let your dog sleep on your bed? If so, how do you have sex (solo or with a partner)? Is it a bit of a mood killer having to stop, lock your dog outside, listen to it cry for being locked out, do your thing then let it back in the bed? -Would you date someone with the same name as your sibling or dad? I previously dated a guy with the same name as my brother. I met a guy out on the weekend and we had the most amazing time together but I don’t think I can take it further simply because he has the same name as my dad... Is this robbing myself of my time with someone who could be a potential partner or is it too weird?  -I am 19 years of age and I currently work in childcare full time. My workplace is all females, who are majority mums. I work in the same room as this 37 year old who acts like she’s in high school. She gossips, bags and talks shit about other workers and loves to be overly overpowering in the workplace. Me being the overthinking person I am, I’m constantly worried she’s talking shit and it’s affecting my confidence in my ability at work. I feel so much toxicity in my workplace but I can't financially take the risk and leave. What should I do?

Hey lifers! Welcome to your little therapy session where we unpack some dilemmas going on in your life. First up, there's a woman who has cheated her way to the podium and it's just so funny, we must discuss!Vibes for the week:Laura: Matty J's new podcast that you can listen to hereBritt: Netflix mini series "American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon BombingThen we jump into your questions: At what point does thinking about an ex go from curious, where you look at their social media etc to see what they've been up to, to unhealthy? Is it weird to cut your toenails in the shower? My partner and I argue about this all the time! He likes to cut his toenails in the shower so the clippings go down the drain. I get a massive 'ick' from this and would much rather he cut them straight into the bin! One-on-one dinners with my long-term boyfriend are awkward. We spend a lot of our time together, so when it comes to a sit down, across from each other, I find that at times we have nothing to talk about! Does anyone else feel this way?

Hey Lifers! First up today, it's Laura's weekend from hell, and to top it all off she's been deeply offended by her own offspring.  We then asked you what's the most awkward thing you've said during sex and it turns out we all need a class in 'sexy-talk'. Then we are joined by the hilarious Joanne McNally! Joanne is an Irish stand up comedian and the host of podcast juggernaut 'My Therapist Ghosted me.' In this episode we have a very unfiltered chat (Joanne wouldn't have it any other way) about what led her to comedy, being adopted, her non-existent pelvic floor and wild dating past. We also take a bit of a deep dive behind the scenes of how our personal lives shifted after starting podcasts and everything becoming public content. If you'd like to check out Joanne's touring schedule, see more here! https://www.joannemcnally.com/ Are you a Lifer?

Hey lifers,Ever wanted to be frightened to death to a proposal? Neither! But this guy thought it was the perfect, romantic plan!Vibes and unsubscribes for this week:Laura vibe- Country Road bike shortsBritt Unsubscribe - CoachellaThen we jump into your deep, dark and dirty questions:1. My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. However, I often think about the time I slept with his younger brother one drunken night, only 2 weeks before my boyfriend and I started seeing each other. I don’t know if my boyfriend knows this happened, I certainly haven’t told him and I’m unsure if his younger brother has either. Do I tell my boyfriend about the one time we slept together? I’m not sure how he’d react and if he finds out later down the track… but given he may already know, is the fact neither of us have ever brought it up weird?2. I’ve been with my partner for 6 years and we have a 12-month-old. Today he had a serious talk with me about being present and my phone usage. He works full time and I’m the primary caregiver. When he gets home, I get to have a break, so I enjoy my time going on tik tok and Instagram. I feel all the mum guilt right now. Am I being a shit mum? How do I approach this?3. There is a girl that I used to be quite good friends with. Not best friends, but close. Her and I had a falling out about a year ago. It resulted in me blocking her on social media because of some really nasty things I found out she had said about me. I’ve been trying to get pregnant for about a year and a half now. I’m having blood tests and trying to work out why my partner and I can’t seem to fall pregnant. Over the weekend, I saw some mutual friends post that this girl I used to be friends with was pregnant. They were at what looked like an early baby shower for her.I am livid. To the point where I understand it’s possibly irrational but I can’t help how I feel. It is the only thing I have been able to think about. I’m so angry that this person who was horrible to me seems to get to have the one thing I want most in the world. Do you have any advice on how I get over this jealousy? I’m a mess and I don’t feel like I can say this to any of my friends because I understand how horrible it is that I am reacting this way.
