Podcast appearances and mentions of jessie stephens

Picture this. You’re on a date or sitting in a job interview. Four minutes in, you know — this isn’t it. Do you cut your losses and walk, or sit there smiling politely for the next painful hour? Same with a conversation that's making you quietly die inside or reading a book that came highly recommended —do you carry on or quit? That, in essence, is the Lemon Law — and today, we’re breaking it down. Also on the docket: tween beauty. Why are 12-year-olds taking over Sephora, and is their influence driving up prices across the industry? And if that is the case, could they please stop? Like, now? Amelia, Jessie, and Mia unpack the tween takeover and what it means for the future of our beauty treats. And finally, our weekly recommendations: a book Amelia didn’t Lemon Law, an unhinged sheep story (from Mia, naturally), and the documentary Jessie couldn't stop watching. Support independent women's media Recommendations Amelia recommends Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Jessie recommends aka Charlie Sheen on Netflix. Mia recommends Kevin the Sheep on Instagram AND these gold hoops from the chemist.

Breast Pump Ban: It may sound like a headline from another era — but it happened to Dr Elise Turner this week in Melbourne when the mum of twins was told to leave an airport lounge for daring to express milk for her babies. But there’s one crucial detail that most of us missed and which Mia, Jessie and Amelia needed to dig deep into on today's show. And, an update on Bruce Willis’ condition from his wife in her confronting new memoir that hits home for anyone touched by dementia. Jessie shares her personal experience and unpacks the backlash Emma Heming Willis is getting online for the decisions she's making on behalf of her celebrity husband. Plus, Births, Deaths & Marriages. Mia’s got a new segment and a lot to say. From celebrity babies to red carpet chaos, she’s tying it all together… loosely, but entertainingly. Is it an excuse to (scurrilously) gossip about celebrities? Absolutely it is. Does she seamlessly segue into a controversial red carpet analysis? Of course she does. We also cover Trump: The Dibber Dobber and the 17 household habits that will clear mental clutter as much as they will your kitchen bench tops. Light and shade, friends. Light and shade.

Prince Harry’s return to the UK may have changed everything—and yes, it involves a specific cake with serious meaning. Plus, Jessie’s trend of the week: the 'mayor walk'.

Three Out Loud hosts, one tarot card reader, and our unfiltered reactions. What could go wrong? Outlouders, this is an episode we have been looking forward to. Also, we’re not just reading our futures — Holly unpacks the vulnerable and heartfelt revelations in Liz Gilbert’s new book, including her self-proclaimed 'love addiction'. So why does Jessie find some of her observations feel kind of familiar? The wild but true high school catfish doco that floored Jessie; Holly and her good friend Meghan enjoy a taste of Spain; plus some X-rated bread making. Our recommendations this week truly run the gamut. P.S. If you want to listen to our one-on-one tarot card readings with Jessie, Holly and Amelia, we have a subscriber episode dropping in your feed next week. We’ll see you there

There's a new species of male that's captured Amelia's attention. He's a literature loving, matcha drinking, standup guy that seems to capture the female gaze perfectly. Except: none of it's real. He's faking it. La Lester explains. Plus, we have to revisit the Coldplay kiss cam cheating scandal. The latest update changes EVERYTHING, and now? Well, now Jessie wants to renew her wedding vows. And, welcome to The Great Lock In. It's your chance to put the last remaining months before the New Year to good use. But a certain Stacey Hicks confesses she would much prefer to Lock Out instead. So, why do all our goals suddenly feel urgent, and what's a lazy gewl to do when everyone's obsessed with self-optimisation?

Outlouders, Holly has a mea culpa for your Monday. This one involves Princess Kate, her hair, and the internet theories we all wish we hadn't read. Plus, we unpack the other big royal news. This time it's about Prince Harry and yes, it's got everyone talking. And, are you scared of small talk? You're not alone. Amelia Lester’s bringing the actually useful tips to survive awkward 8am chats at work when you have zero to say. That noise you hear?

It all started with a Google Doc. Half of you—like Holly—are going to love it. The other half? Yeah, maybe not so much. But stick with us, because this isn’t just admin—it’s a document your loved ones will thank you for one day. We've made it easy for you by including a link to it below. Download or... ignore. And, Amelia’s latest internet obsession takes us deep into the world of weddings of the super rich. Think: Croesus, filthy rich, LOADED. Yes, we're saying hello to Becca Bloom and discussing the rise of Rich-Tok. What does a 'status wedding' actually cost—and why can’t we look away? Plus, your weekly reccos:

For 48 hours, the internet swore Donald Trump was dead. He’s not—but the rumours about the President's health aren’t going anywhere. Amelia’s got three clues to explain why this is one conspiracy that just won't die. Then, why are we all so bloody rude? A new report shows retail workers are copping it worse than ever, and we’ve got a theory. And, the Balmoral Test: the royals’ bizarre initiation ritual for new family members.

Donald Trump, the world’s “greatest dealmaker” (his words), has somehow managed to walk away from Vladimir Putin with... not a lot so far in his bid to end the war in Ukraine. And that's despite Melania's handwritten 'letter of peace' to the Russian leader. Then there's a red carpet cameo and a secret backseat meeting. Amelia Lester is here to explain all. Plus, comedian Matt Rife has been cancelled… again. This time, it’s thanks to an e.l.f. cosmetics ad campaign that proves there is such a thing as bad publicity. And Taylor and Travis: he plays the role of the goofy himbo, she’s the sensible mastermind. Their New Heights interview has us asking—should you always be the smarter one in your relationship?

Romance is having a huge moment and let's be honest, sometimes we all need a dose of a little happy ending. In this spicy bonus episode of Mamamia Out Loud, Jessie, Holly and Em V are diving deep into why we're all completely obsessed with love stories right now.

Yesterday, you may have felt a shift in the air around 2:12pm. The squealing. The frantic maths. Whispers of 'TS12', New Heights, showgirls - that's certainly what it was like in the Mamamia office.

Plus, we can't agree on a viral tennis match moment. Who decides what public spaces children are allowed to be in? We unpack what happens when society becomes less and less tolerant of children.

Bradley John Murdoch was convicted of Falconio’s murder in December 2005 and sentenced to life in prison. Now, there’s been a significant development. Murdoch died of throat cancer on July 15, 2025, at the age of 67. He had been diagnosed with the terminal illness in 2019 and was released from Alice Springs Correctional Centre last month to receive palliative care at Alice Springs Hospital. Chillingly, his death came just one day after the 24th anniversary of Falconio’s murder. Despite years of investigation and repeated appeals from police, Murdoch never disclosed the location of Peter Falconio’s remains. His body has never been found. In this episode, originally published in 2021, Jessie Stephens speaks with former Detective Superintendent Colleen Gwynne — the lead investigator into Peter Falconio’s disappearance and murder, about the details of this case. This episode first aired in 2019 and marked one of the earliest major cases on True Crime Conversations. We're re-releasing it today for listeners old and new.

Nobody has a personality anymore. At least, that's what Em Vernem thinks, and she's not alone. In writer Freya India's Substack Girls, India critiques the diagnostic lense through which we see the world, and it's seriously blown our minds. The Salt Path, a heartbreaking 2018 memoir adapted into a hugely successful movie and marketed as 'unflinchingly true', is making headlines this week. Because the truth seems to have been stretched. So what's with memoirs where 'recollections may vary'? And does it really matter? Plus, Jessie has some heartbreaking news she wants to share. And our recommendations, including the show that held Mia's attention for 10 hours, a stunning novel by a NYT bestseller, and an action movie Em thinks everyone should watch.

There’s a distinct true crime spin on MMOL today. The Outback Killer Bradley Murdoch has died, and after 24 years, he’s taking his secrets to the grave with him. Plus, are we normalising meanness? With shows that scratch our hate-watch itch, Mia, Amelia and Jessie talk about why we're clocking up so much time in front of something we actively dislike. And Jeffrey Epstein’s name is back in the news and being said in the same breath as Donald Trump, missing files, and the unanswered questions that are turning us into conspiracy theorists. It’s all going on, Outlouders. You know what to do

She was the voice of a generation, then she vanished. Now Lena Dunham is back with a Netflix romcom—but where has she been? The creator of Girls disappeared from the spotlight for years, and the story behind her absence is almost more compelling than her comeback. So why did the woman who defined millennial womanhood step away? Mia, Jessie and Amelia Lester discuss on today's show. And if you've been posting less and scrolling more, you're not alone. Women everywhere are retreating from social media, choosing to lurk rather than share. We're exploring why we're all heading towards posting zero—and what it means for how we connect. Plus, scurrilous (royal) gossip: King Charles and Prince Harry's aides held a secret meeting, and everyone's speculating about what went down. Are the palace walls finally cracking?

The world is not made for me. The very melodramatic Substack that describes every short girl’s problems. So today, shorties Mia and Jessie are joined by taller girl Amelia Lester and Mamamia's even taller Deputy Editor Stacey Hicks, to figure out who’s got it worse. Also, why do we need to be so efficient all the darn time? Micro-efficiencies are the new craze and with their increase, it’s our chance to rest our decision-making brains. Plus, in this auditory medium, we present an optical illusion. Blame Jessie. If you'd like to see how high you are on the vision leaderboard, the illusions will be on our Instagram.

Welcome to Parenting Out Loud where if parents are thinking about it, we're talking about it. On the show today, Jessie Stephens, Amelia Lester and Stacey Hicks sit down to tackle; Glam retreats: a cultural necessity for post-partum mums? Why bedtime stories are being put to bed themselves. How some dads forget their kids names, refuse to change a nappy or fail to RSVP — and why some women let them. And, sleep divorces. Is this where intimacy gets put to rest, or a secret hack that's been misjudged? Plus, in this week’s reccos:

Sexuopharmaceuticals. Yes, we had to sound it out too. But behind the tongue-twister is a study that confirms what many couples already know: vaginal dryness + erectile dysfunction = not exactly a recipe for romance. But is that pill really the answer? We unpack the not-so-sexy science that says that sexuopharmaceuticals like Viagra are putting some men out of sync with their female partners. And, C-sections are on the rise—and Amelia, Jessie and Mia have thoughts. Is it a medical trend, a feminist power move, or just the new default setting for birth? Plus, gossip alert: Jennifer Aniston’s rumoured new boyfriend has people talking, Bec Judd’s spilling the tea on her cosmetic tweaks, and Mia throws a surprise question at Jessie and Amelia that stops them in their tracks. And finally, are we witnessing the slow death of university? Parents are being told to stop pushing uni on their kids but what does that mean for jobs, knowledge, expertise? We discuss.

In case you missed it, the US passed One Big Beautiful Bill on Friday. But what does it all mean — for Australia and the world? We need all the explanations. Fortunately, our US correspondent Amelia Lester joins Mia, Jessie and Em V to unpack Trump's latest 'feat'. And, our favourite astronaut Katy Perry has announced a new way to separate.

Aidan's throwing rocks at windows (literally), Miranda's found love again, and Charlotte's trying to keep it together — we're halfway through And Just Like That Season 3 and we have SO many feelings. In this bonus episode, we're serving up all our thoughts on the season so far. What's the deal with Carrie and Aidan's messy situationship? Is LTW about to cross a line with her hot editor? And why is everything suddenly going wrong for Seema? Mia, Holly and Jessie are making predictions, dissecting character arcs, and getting way too invested in antique glass that casts rainbows. Friends, we've got theories. So many theories.

When 24-year-old Belgian backpacker Davine Arckens reached out to a man on Gumtree about working on his farm, she was excited. The 88 days of labour would mean she could stay in Australia on a tourist visa for an extra year. She couldn’t wait to spend more time in a country she thought was safe and full of nice people. When Davine met the man, it didn’t take long for her to realise she’d made a terrible mistake. What followed was two harrowing days where she was held against her will and an escape that made national headlines. Walkley award-winning journalist Richard Guilliatt reported on the story, and he joins Jessie Stephens to walk us through it. This episode first aired in 2019 and marked one of the earliest major cases on True Crime Conversations. We're re-releasing it today for listeners old and new.

You're a bitch and that's why we lack community. A brutal essay has exposed how we've all become selfish in the name of self-care, and some of us are feeling a little bit attacked. Mia, Jessie and Em Vernem discuss the idea of the small favour economy and why asking your friend for a rise to the airport is more valuable than you realise. Plus, is anyone else feeling increasingly tricked by artificial intelligence? You're not alone. We tell you the sneaky ways even real estate agents are using AI for marketing tactics.

Between 27 dresses, 'something borrowed' from the Blue Origin space flight and Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's 200+ closest friends, there's a BIG post wedding debrief needed. They weren't invited but that didn't stop Mia, Jessie and Em V giving full wedding guest vibes on the three-day Venetian extravaganza. And, the Liberal Party is in a world of pain with plenty of suggestions on how to fix it. We weigh into the quota debate that's been raging for more than 30 years. Plus, dating apps are having a tough 2025, and no, people aren't more in love than they were in the past. So, where are the hopeful lovebirds placing their efforts?

Jameela Jamil is breaking up with women journalists via Substack. After too many burnouts and betrayals, the actress and activist is done. But is this really the group chat exit we think it is? Mia, Jessie and Holly have thoughts. Plus, there's a mahoosive marriage taking place in Venice this week and friends, people are protesting. It's Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez whose nuptials are getting flack and their wedding extravaganza is everything you’d expect: 27 dresses, three days of events, multiple protests, and a juicy affair that started it all. We've got the full rundown — from the super yacht to the guest list. Also on today’s show: you've heard of 'Let Them' and if you came to our live show, you might have heard our blunt alternative.

Sarah Jessica Parker has spent decades as Carrie Bradshaw, but here’s the twist: she’s never actually watched herself do any of it. Not the sex, not the shopping, not even the typing. So is it the ultimate act of self-care, or just a lil bit lazy? Plus, everyone’s talking about texting less—until they’re the ones left on read. We unpack the modern crisis of communication overload, from parenting to work to friendships, and why it’s never as simple as just putting your phone down. If you thought podcasts were just for your ears, think again. Vodcasts are taking over and we feel… conflicted about it. Are you sick of our faces yet? We certainly are. And our recommendations, including a documentary on Jessie’s roman empire, Holly’s 1923 binge, and Mia’s new comfort TV show.

Saturday treat time, Outlouders. A brand new episode of Parenting Out Loud just landed, and we’re dropping it here for you to enjoy too. In this episode, Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester dive into:

There's a standout star on Duchess Meghan’s latest long-form interview, but surprise... it's not Megs. Enter one Emma Grede: Skims co-founder, Shark Tank guest judge, and the new archetype of the modern girl boss. While Meghan’s business advice is a little on the fluffy side, Emma’s empire—from shapewear to podcasts to philanthropic pledges—has Mia exhausted. Meanwhile, Holly is bringing Etsy witches back with a dark update. What happens when your Etsy witch dies mid-spell? It happened and the buyer of this magical intervention isn't happy. Plus, someone returns from therapy with two anxiety hacks that might just change your life... or at least put your performance anxiety on hiatus for a while. And the debate about a debate: Why are South Australian high schools debating the legitimacy of 'Tradwives'? Jessie's extensive debate career (ages 13-16), has prepared her for this moment.

Meghan Markle's new era screams 'tradwife'. The truth is very different. The A-list actress who called out Meghan Markle has quietly deleted the evidence. HOLLY WAINWRIGHT: 'How you feel about Meghan's new "shop" tells me one thing about you.' Meghan Markle writes a letter every night. They won't be opened for years. After visiting Ballerina Farm, Megan knows what we don't understand about Hannah Neeleman. THE END BITS: Mamamia studios are styled with furniture from Fenton and Fenton GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?
