Ask Uncut- Shooting your shot, rebuildin...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Hey Lifers!

First up today, we unpack all of the terms that you hate, and, ahhh we might need to amend our vocabulary! There's also a woman who fell in love with the man who robbed her (yep, we checked. The article isn't satire).

Vibes for this week:
Laura: The Deepest Breath on Netflix

Britt: We the Wild Plant Care

Keeshia: To end all war: Oppenheimer & the atomic bomb on Binge

Joining the podcast for a special edition of Ask Uncut is sex and relationships educator, social worker, Agony Aunt, author and podcaster Lalala Let Me Explain! Lala is a top secret squirrel and remains completely anonymous online, but unpacking dilemmas and giving top shelf advice is what she does best!

Today we jump into these questions:

  • How do you gain confidence with men in public and approach them if you wanna shoot a shot?
  • My boyfriend who I lived with for a year just ended things. I’m currently sharing a bed with my mum, all my belongings are in my car while I wait for my childhood bedroom to be cleared out for me to move back in. I'm also having to find a new job. I genuinely feel so dependent on him like I don’t know who I am anymore without him. How do I get back on track? 
  • How important is it for your partner to get along with your friends? Everything else in our relationship is great, my problem is that he doesn't like my friends and becomes closed off and quiet around them. He says they're 'weird' and he is quite judgemental of them.  How big of a red flag is this when everything else is so great?

She has a killer pod that you can listen to here!
