About this episode

Hey lifers!
Did you ever compete in the school talent competition? Britt and Laura share the talents that they were proud enough to share with their friends and family. They were subsequently mocked for them! 
Have you ever accidentally posted something to social media that was meant for close friends or a group chat?
British actress Betsy Blue English 'called out' Tammy Hembrow for copying her wedding cake; except she didn't mean to call her out, she meant to share it on her close friends story! We read out some of the funniest accidents that you have caused yourself.

A few days ago, Tones and I shared a heartbreaking post with a caption explaining that she had suffered a miscarriage during the rehearsal of her recent Melbourne show.
Tones went on to perform the following night, with very few people knowing the pain and the loss that she was experiencing.
Today we have a chat about miscarriage and discuss:

  • The pressure women may feel to 'get back to it' and act as though nothing has happened.
  • Laura's experiences of having multiple miscarriages.
  • The feelings of loneliness that miscarriage can force you into feeling.
  • Tones bravely sharing this to reduce the shame, guilt and stigma women feel around pregnancy loss.
  • Whether we should re think 'not telling anyone' until 12 weeks of pregnancy.
