Unleashed

An expensive wellness retreat was booked. A quiet, nourishing reset was planned. But no TV and no phone? Bruna said..no thanks. Speaking of wellness, Mary claims she cured her warts with witchcraft, and Dr Ginni has some...scientific questions. Creatine is the midlife supplement we hear about more than any, so what does the good Doctor have to say? And how far would you go for your bestie? Because Mary went pretty far to get Bruna a filming permit. Plus a dilemma: our Unleashers husband has discovered Facebook Marketplace and is convinced he can flip a commercial deep fryer by Tuesday. So entrepreneurial. Our advice is savage.  In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Mary Coustas, Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney. Check out our Unleashed music playlist for some feel good throwbacks!

Sally called in from Melbourne to formally lodge a complaint against Cath's new dating coach. Mary invented a ball bra and pitched it to a Bonds designer. Cath saw Stirrup Pants are back and needs a fashion assessment from Grace. Meanwhile, Grace turned up to Parliament House in polka dot socks and briefly out-styled the entire Australian Government. Dr. Ginni invented a brilliant new business idea; shame it's already been done. Also: what was the first R-rated film you snuck into? And what kind of psychological damage did it leave behind? Cath also has a TV recco for your winter nights; Rivals is a Gen X viewing paradise. In your ears today: Mary Coustas, Cath Mahoney, Grace Lamb and Dr. Ginni Mansberg.

Cath is back on the dating scene and the icks are immediate. From men with necklaces, to gym selfies, and those who won't ask a single question, she's compiled a list of what makes a man instantly undateable. Meanwhile, Sally wants to talk about the towel system in your house. Are you a towel dictator, or is it a free-for-all? And why are all the midlife women putting vaginal oestrogen on their faces? Dr Ginni is here to debunk the Tik Tok trend. Finally, the bush is back and Mary has questions.

Camping? Meditation? Marathons?! Absolutely not. Mary Coustas is calling for the Unleashed anti-bucket list - the things we are officially opting out of for life. Meanwhile, Sally ticks off a major life milestone… and with it comes a deeply unsettling realisation: she is the adult now. Plus, the time Bruna got fired as a bridesmaid, and Mary got sacked for standing her Greek ground. And in very sad news, Sally shares the loss of her family dog Hannah, and why losing a pet unlocks a very deep and unique kind of grief.

At some point you look in the mirror and realise gravity has come for your face. Bruna's pretty miffed no one warned her. Meanwhile, should you be with one person for the rest of your life? Because Grace has some ground rules - like if her husband replaces her, she'll come back as a ghost and haunt his d*ck. And what did you get up to to when your parents weren't looking? Sally stole a library book from the nuns and still feels guilty, and Grace spat in her mums face washer. And finally, Producer Mia needs some advice after a designer jacket situation at work goes horribly wrong. Lets just say the office "free table" is involved.In your ears today: Grace Lam, Bruna Papandrea, Sally Hepworth and Cath MahoneyThe End Bits:Follow us on Instagram, DM us thoughts, feelings and questions @unleashed.showLove the show?

How many psychics is too many psychics? Cath has reached the point where she needs a Chat GPT spreadsheet to track them all. Mary confirms - with evidence - that her mother has never given a blowjob. Bruna joins a wellness cult called 75 Hard, but she still can’t find time for a shower. Grace’s clairvoyant spat water all over her to exorcise a ghost. Sadly, it didn't work for Bruna when the ghost of Princess Diana turned up in her bedroom. Plus, a miracle church, and the lengths we go to for love, for family, and for the sisterhood.In your ears today: Cathrine Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam and Mary Coustas.The End Bits:Follow us on Instagram: @unleashed.showLove the show?
