  • LITTLE TREAT: What We Wish We'd Never Written On The Internet

    LITTLE TREAT: What We Wish We'd Never Written On The Internet
    Jun 7 2026
    Outlouders, we’ve unlocked an exclusive subscriber episode for your long weekend listening pleasure. You're welcome. Remember when oversharing on the internet was a thing? The era of the ‘personal essay’ was a time when people poured their messy insides out for the world to read. Except now those stories are frozen in time. Forever. And the oversharing hangover is real. SUBSCRIBE to Mamamia and never miss a word of Out Loud. Plus get access to every story and our exercise app, MOVE. Mia, Holly and Em are unpacking the sometimes brutal backlash of ‘going viral’ over a deeply personal moment and the slightly awkward nightmare of your family and friends reading about your business online. So, is the personal essay dead – or have we all just moved to Substack? And, should some of those literal journal entries actually just stay in the drafts? Mia has thoughts.
