About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of motherhood on friendships, featuring insights from Jesinta Franklin and various cultural topics.

We are BACK from the MOST exciting weekend of our lives, opening the Sydney leg of the Know Thyself tour! We’re sharing all the goss from the weekend that was, plus we’re desperate to watch Sharon Horgan’s new show, Youth , and we reveal all the 2027 Coachella headliner rumours. Also, Nicole Kidman’s divorce glow-up is such a vibe and her surprise weekend in Sydney proves it. We watched the Raygun docco over the weekend so you don’t have to. Did it help or hinder the reputation of the 39-year-old academic-slash-university lecturer-slash-B-girl-slash-internet meme? And what it can teach us about imposter syndrome. We have notes. And, does being a mum turn you into a bad friend? Model and mother-of-three Jesinta Franklin thinks it does, and we have THOUGHTS. Finally, our beloved ins and outs include the single parent tax, the shoes of spring and the ultimate period saviour.
