    Ask Uncut - My Husband Cheated, Brought Home An STI & Wants Forgiveness
    Aug 17 2025
    Hey Lifers! Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your biggest (and sometimes smallest) life dilemmas!Do you have a nickname that only some people can call you? Is it weird if someone you’re close with all of a sudden tries on a new nickname?Britt has had a sleepover at Keeshia’s house and every sleep related recommendation she’s ever had has been completely validated. Vibes for the week:Laura - Back to Bilo Australian Story Keeshia -Steel Blue Cap Boots Britt - Amy Bradley Is Missing on Netflix Then we jump into your questionsMY BF APPLIED AND GOT A JOB WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE - WHAT TO DO?My partner is currently out of town and called me saying that he got this new amazing job, in a different city. It’s a 2 year contract. The application process took a few months and he did it all without telling me. He even flew to the city for an interview, telling me at the time it was a work trip. He expects me to come with him and thought I would be excited because the job is in my hometown and my parents and some friends still live there. However, I am not excited as I love my life in our current city. He promises that it’s only for 2 years and then we will move back. He told me he didn’t tell me not to “jinx” the process. Help. How do I navigate this upon his return? He is otherwise such a great guy but I am really hurt. He went behind my back and made this decision for us. MY HUSBAND CHEATED, BROUGHT HOME AND STI AND WANTS FORGIVENESSI have been with my partner for 5 years & we have a 1 year old. He is everything to me, I have never been happier in my life! I’m 38 years old but my partner just BLEW THINGS UP. He has told me that he has gonorrhoea and that I need to be tested. He went straight to asking forgiveness for what he was about to tell me. He said that I am his penguin but he is not fully satisfied in bed because he likes hard-core anal done to him and he never felt like he could ask me to do that as I have never expressed any of my tendencies. He paid to receive hard core anal multiple times during our relationship. He loves me and our family and assures me he is not homosexual and never wanted to hurt me. I am an open minded person, and think I could have "understood" his sexual tendencies and possibly would have even tried to pleasure him with toys and pegging had I known. I don't want to judge him for his sexual tendencies but I do not accept that he went to see someone and has put my health at risk! I am devastated and feel like I don't know if I could get over the fact that he had sex with someone else, let alone with a man. I love him dearly and feel completely lost! How can I get over this?? Can I forgive him ever? Will I ever want to pleasure him the way he likes? A middle ground would be great but I am not sure what middle ground is... HELP THINK MY SISTER’S HUSBAND HIT ON MEA few weeks ago I went to see a band. My sister was supposed to come but couldn’t, so her husband used the ticket instead. From the start, it felt like a “date”. He bought me a drink and was touching me on the back and shoulder throughout the night. When we got in the uber home he opened the door for me and was touching my knee/rubbing my thigh on the drive home. I froze and did nothing. It felt like he was ‘making the moves’. My sister and I are very close and they’ve been married for ages (decades). My sister has told me things have been rocky lately but from what I know their marriage is solid. Since then I’ve been avoiding them, but I can’t do that forever. I don’t want to carry this secret but I also don’t want to be responsible for ending their marriage. Do I confront him? Tell her? Also, I wonder if I’m making a big deal out of nothing since it wasn’t sexual touching but I obviously felt very uncomfortable. Help. I DON'T WANT HUSBAND TO TELL HIS MUM WHEN I GO INTO LABOURAm I being unreasonable that I don’t want my husband to tell his mother when I’m going into labour? For context I really don't like her. She has proven herself to be untrustworthy in many scenarios. (E.g. begged to see my wedding dress and then proceeded to show people in her family before we got married amongst other things) and she also lies. I find her to be a dishonest and very annoying person so I don’t see why I need to disclose this information when she can just wait for us to tell her when the baby is here. She also messages my husband every day and I know it will just cause me anxiety if she’s constantly asking for updates. My husband thinks I’m being silly and is hurt. He feels like he can’t tell his mum when the time comes. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Running 14000 Kms Around The Country But With Much Less Media Attention Than The Blokes! Uncut with Brooke McIntosh

    Running 14000 Kms Around The Country But With Much Less Media Attention Than The Blokes! Uncut with Brooke McIntosh
    Aug 14 2025

    If you don’t already know who Brooke McIntosh is, you absolutely should! Brooke is running 14,000 km - solo around Australia; that’s between 60 and 100km a day, every day for 200 days, all with the ambition of raising $1.4 million for the Blue Tree Project’s mental health initiative. Brooke is doing this run without corporate sponsorship or media hype, just grit, purpose, and a small caravan crew.

    There’s a bit of a gender discrepancy here because it’s likely you might not have heard of Brooke, despite her surpassing some other guys who did similar running challenges that got a lot of media attention.

    Today we wanted to get a bit of an understanding of what Brooke is actually experiencing on the road: running through PMS cramps, worrying about creeps and safety, and dealing with online trolls all while staying committed every kilometre of the way.

    We spoke about:

    • Brooke’s mental health battle with drugs and alcohol before a bad car accident
    • Why she got into running
    • Why the woman running the country isn’t getting as much media attention compared to the blokes
    • Pants off Friday
    • The safety precautions Brooke has had to take
    • The Blue Tree Project
    • The physical impact on Brooke’s body and whether it’s more of a mental challenge

    If you’re able to donate, you can do so here!

    You can find everything from Brooke at her website

    You can follow Brooke’s instagram

    Brooke will soon become the first and fastest female to run the lap of Australia—14,000km in the same calendar year—while choosing conversations over kilometres, stopping in schools and workplaces to spark JUST ONE MORE conversation.

  • Britt's Big Life Announcement And Our Most Unhinged Ep To Date

    Britt's Big Life Announcement And Our Most Unhinged Ep To Date
    Aug 12 2025

    Hey lifers,

    Today was utterly unhinged and if you’re in the need of a giggle, press play.
    Britt has a huge life update that she was forced into sharing. We aren’t in the business of gaslighting you so here is the official notice that it is not in fact a huge announcement at all. Maybe unless you’re Marie Kondo.

    Have you or your partner had a vasectomy? Laura has asked Matt to get the snip and the chat didn’t go as well as she expected it to!

    Today’s episode includes a very, very BTS look into what happens ‘off’ record because we decided to make it ‘on’ record after Laura laughed so hard she had a coughing fit and simultaneously wet herself. We love each other like sisters (who can be honest).

    What’s something people do in public that absolutely grosses you out? How would you feel about people popping pimples in public?

  • Ask Uncut - “I Have A Crush On My Husband’s Brother”

    Ask Uncut - “I Have A Crush On My Husband’s Brother”
    Aug 10 2025
    Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your dilemmas and give our enthusiastic advice! Laura has a dilemma of her own; she’s feeling unsure about the name she picked for her baby that will be born in 8 weeks. Did you have doubts about the name you’d chosen for your baby or did you even change it after the baby was born?Vibes for the week:Laura - Baby Name App and Hask Argan Oil Serum Keeshia - No Filter Podcast - How Sally Hepworth Survived Her Divorce Britt - Liberty Lost podcast Then we jump into your questions! I HAVE A CRUSH ON MY HUSBAND'S BROTHERFor context, my husband & I live in Australia, both of our immediate families are overseas. We’ve been together for 13 years, married for 8 and share a 2 year old daughter. I love him! We have ups & downs like any normal couple. Right now, my brother in law is visiting from overseas with his 7 year old daughter and is currently staying with us for 2 weeks. His wife will be joining him at a later part of the holiday in another city so we won't be seeing her at all. Ever since dating my husband, every time I see his brother, I do feel like I want to impress his brother. This is the first time he has come to Australia. I feel like this crush is getting more intense. I even have this sexual fantasy with him in my head, I feel horny and try to put out the fire by banging my husband instead (good for him I guess). I can’t explain it. Not that it’ll ever lead to anything, but the fact I constantly want to impress him drives me crazy. What should I do? NO GREETING IN WORK EMAIL- RUDE? I work in a professional field and on the daily, I receive emails from people who address me at the start of an email with JUST my first name. For example, the email writes - Sally Body of email* - No, “Good Morning,” no “Dear,” not even a damned “Hi” !! I want to know what people's thoughts are on this? I know it’s something small and probably insignificant but I find it incredibly rude and also condescending! It’s not hard to put a tiny greeting to ensure the rest of the correspondence is pleasant. It actually happens so much these days I find myself responding to them in the same way, or sometimes not even addressing them at all, which is crazy considering I don’t know these people and whatever we’re talking about shouldn’t warrant a rude interaction. I guess I’d like to know if people realise this is something that does come across rude or if I am being overly dramatic and it shouldn’t bother me at all? FRIEND ASKED ME NOT TO BE PREGNANT FOR HER WEDDINGI am just wondering if I could get ANY advice on this situation I’ve been put in recently, I really don’t know how I should be feeling. A bit of a backstory, I am a mum to a beautiful one year old boy. At the start of the year my best friend got engaged and I’ve been asked to be a bridesmaid (which I obviously said yes to). Recently, the bride to be (late next year) has asked me to make sure I’m not pregnant again as the dresses she’s picked for the bridal party won’t ‘go’ with pregnancy. I am so conflicted as we had a conversation at the start of the year about my hopes to have a second baby next year! WHAT DO I DO?! Is this an acceptable thing to ask someone? PARTNER AND I HAVE DIFFERENT MONEY VALUESMy partner and I are both nearing 30. We’ve been together for 4 years and currently living together for 2 years. I’ve always known a rough figure of his savings and vice versa however have recently just discovered that those savings have significantly reduced. We grew up very differently surrounding finances and savings. He has lived out of home for 10 years, has lived the whole uni/party life, grew up with a single mum and a bit of travel. I have lived out of home for 5 years, lived with both my parents prior to that and have always been taught about savings and I have travelled a lot. I have always had a “do not touch” account and have stuck to it to put towards my future (house/travel/ kids etc) as that’s really important to me. I proudly have 6 figures of savings.He has had a similar account however he withdraws from it. I only recently re-discovered his total savings is a 4 figure number which is a lot lower than expected. This obviously shocked me. I feel like I’m making more of an effort to plan for our future. Can this work? Will I resent this and his inability to save even for our future together? Is this something I can even have a say about?

  • The Lesser Known Side Of Ovarian Cancer - Uncut with Carly Findlay

    The Lesser Known Side Of Ovarian Cancer - Uncut with Carly Findlay
    Aug 7 2025

    Today we’re joined by Carly Findlay — she’s an award winning writer, speaker, and an appearance and disability advocate. Carly was born with a rare skin condition called ichthyosis which is a rare genetic condition where the skin over produces dry, scaly, thickened skin and can be incredibly painful. Carly has spent much of her life navigating a world that hasn’t always made room for her differences.

    Carly has spoken widely about what it was like growing up, how she came to embrace the term “disabled” later in life, and the pressure to constantly explain or justify your body to other people and she has published two wonderful books titles ‘say hello’ and ‘Growing up disabled in Australia’

    We also wanted to speak to Carly about a more recent challenge that she faced with her ovarian cancer diagnosis and what that has meant for her body now after going through early menopause and having a hysterectomy.

    We spoke about:

    • What is was like growing up and having to face a lot of judgement and comments from strangers
    • Why Carly decided to become an advocate for disabled people
    • Laura being complacent with her ovarian cyst until Carly reached out and encouraged her to advocate for herself
    • The early signs Carly experienced of ovarian cancer
    • The confusing diagnosis
    • Being faced with having to have either a half or full hysterectomy
    • Having the choice of children taken away
    • The additional things Carly had to navigate throughout treatment like chemo
    • The ridiculous trolling Carly received like saying that she was ‘faking’ a cancer diagnosis
    • The really practical ways you can support a loved one through a cancer diagnosis
