  • The 'Dark Forest' Vibe Shift & Announcing Meghan

    The 'Dark Forest' Vibe Shift & Announcing Meghan
    Nov 24 2025

    So, the man who invented "vibe shifts" has announced another one. We're all living through it and it's why you're doing way more lurking and way less posting these days.

    And, a new profile of Meghan Duchess (or Duchess Meghan, if you insist) has attracted a whole lot of attention for a very specific social moment. But can the woman just do no right?

    Also, leggings are over but are we really exercising in wide-leg pants now? And where does that leave the camel toe? Asking for a friend (Jessie).

    Plus, Holly, Jessie and Amelia on the new pregnancy test that might just put an end to weeing-on-a-stick, what to wear on planes and what has Jessie got against tote bags?

  • ‘I Was An Ugly Child’ & The 5-Second Underthinking Rule

    ‘I Was An Ugly Child’ & The 5-Second Underthinking Rule
    Nov 20 2025
    She's had her childhood photo used in an "ugly" meme that's all over the Internet. So why isn't host Clare Stephens upset about this dissing of her younger self? Also: "You called me, you speak first". Does Gen Z really answer the phone with... nothing? And, just literally do things. That's the message here to challenge the recent cultural domination of the 'overthinking introvert'. In all kinds of areas of your life, is it always better to underthink, jump fast and have a bias to action, like our self-help overlord Mel Robbins? And why is it easier for some people than others? Plus, Holly's midlife tattoo. Crisis or confidence? And why LinkedIn is cutting Tinder's grass on the matchmaking front. All this unpacked and shaken upside down by Clare, Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright on today's Mamamia Out Loud. Outlouders - we want to know your Word of the Year for 2026!

  • So That's The Reason I Feel Bad About… My Eyelids?

    So That's The Reason I Feel Bad About… My Eyelids?
    Nov 19 2025
    Outlouders, is it true? Have Millennials officially killed the affair? And, are they actually more conservative than Gen X or are they just reimagining a more modern picture of what marriage looks like? Amelia and Jessie present a Millennial defence. Plus, apparently eyelids are... over. So, what other silly things are people saying about women’s faces this week? We unpack the anti-cosmetic surgery essay every woman should read. And, there's a state funeral going on today that made us wonder — what makes someone qualify for one and should taxpayers be footing the bill? Also, we have a new skincare trend that's not for the faint of heart and we surprise Jessie for her 10-year work anniversary with Mamamia. And yes, Mia does invade the studio again with a little treat to celebrate. Happy anniversary, Jessie!
