The Quicky

ICYMI: We were obsessed with tradwives this year.

From The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives, to Nara Smith and everything to do with Ballerina Farm, we couldn’t look away from the uprising of the modern tradwife.

We’ve all had that conversation. The one where you wax lyrical about how great it would be to buy a big house with your mates and live the good life.

With the cost of living still in chaos and unpredictable interest rates, now more than ever people are seriously considering purchasing property with their friends.

But what risks are involved with going in with the girls on a paradise pad? 

THE END BITS

“We can bury anyone: Inside a Hollywood smear machine”.

That’s the New York Times headline that meant we had to bring you this episode of Mamamia Out Loud today. 

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni made headlines just a few months ago for their roles in one of the year’s most-watched films, It Ends With Us. But what was happening off-screen turned out to be an even bigger story.

In this special episode, Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright unpack the facts behind Blake's legal complaint against her co-star and director Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and an orchestrated campaign to destroy her reputation.

Plus, what this lawsuit means for Hollywood power dynamics, celebrity reputations, and the way narratives and the manipulation of public perception are shaped in the digital age.

End of year celebrations come with… lots. Lots of eating, lots of socialising, and lots of chances to drink alcohol.

For a lot of us, social drinks to tie a ribbon around the end of the year is par for the course. But for some people end of year drinks can be a nightmare, a chance to slip into risk drinking behaviours. 

Today we meet three women who actually gave up drinking, all in very different ways and learn what advice they have to share as we charge ahead through the festive period. 

Summer is officially heating up and Mamamia is bringing you some of the best content to celebrate so you can escape your kids, your family, even your mother in law.
