Unleashed

Kylie Minogue Knows Something We Don't

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 19:30:00 +0000

Just when we thought we couldn't love Kylie Minogue any more, she gave a masterclass in how to handle your ex, and we're obsessed. Grace is handing out shower caps to strangers on public transport like it's her actual job. Meanwhile, Cath has been running her entire dating life through an AI chatbot for advice, then Dr. Ginni broke everyone's heart talking about her grandchildren, who are impossible to just cuddle on a Tuesday.

Also: in other people's problems, a listener accidentally flubbed her best friend's job reference. She missed out on the job. Should she confess?

In your ears today: Cath Mahoney, Dr. Ginni Mansberg, Grace Lam, and Bruna Papandrea

I Made A Woo Woo Deal With The Universe... And It Answered

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 19:30:00 +0000

Sally's gone woo woo and we're here for it. Cath went on a very promising date but the next step split the group chat. Should she she text him? Should she be a beautiful, elusive deer? Or is she simply a Labrador in need of love, reassurance and maybe a Spotify playlist?

Also this week: Grace gives a stranger on a plane a tissue, Mary reminds us why showing up for your friends’ good news is deeply underrated, Sally makes little deals with the universe, and everyone tries to process the horrifying news that smoking might be back.

In your ears today: Sally Hepworth, Grace Lam, Mary Coustas and Cath Mahoney.

My Husband Retired And I've Never Hated Anyone More

Mon, 25 May 2026 19:30:00 +0000

Janet works from home. Her husband just retired. He lurks. He breathes. He wants to eat lunch together every single day. She needs him to f**k off and she needs the girls to tell her she's not a monster for feeling that way.

Also this week: Cath has been stalking a stolen pair of AirPods around Sydney for three weeks like a one-woman Magnum PI. Bruna got on a plane to LA she knew she shouldn't, cried the entire flight, and turned around and came home. Sally is 45 and officially elderly (eye floaters, favourite supermarket trolley, dinner before 5:30) and Grace has been watching Meryl Streep negotiate her worth and has some very Grace Lam thoughts.

Grace Found An Intruder At 3am. She Did Not Wake Her Husband

Mon, 18 May 2026 19:30:00 +0000

Grace heard someone breaking into her apartment, grabbed a tennis racket, lowered her voice and screamed through the door in her mouth guard. It was not, in fact, a burglar. Mary has had it with people saying 'I Love You'. We disagree (and we love Mary, very much). Cath confesses that she dreads holidays since her divorce. Bruna lives with lupus and wakes up in pain every single day, and almost no one knows. And Grace had nits for four days and genuinely thought it was perimenopause.And the songs that changed us. Whether sitting on a school bus, lying in a delivery room, or chasing David Bowie down a street in New York, it's a lot. It's everything. It's Unleashed.

'Dating After Divorce, How Do You Get Back On The Horse?'

Mon, 11 May 2026 19:30:00 +0000

What's the most revealing question to ask someone when you're dating again? A newly single Unleasher needs advice, and Sally Hepworth swears she’s got the answer. Maybe don't take advice from Cath though; she asked a man for his exact time and place of birth so she could run his star chart. He blocked her.

Also in this episode, Mary got pulled over by the cops and tried to make them laugh to get out of it. Bruna sent a very direct email to a Hollywood exec who crossed a line, and Grace lent Kate Moss her knickers at a London fashion shoot, and then sniffed them afterwards. No regrets.

In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Mary Coustas, Grace Lam, Cath Mahoney and Sally Hepworth.

'I Turned Down Anna Wintour And I'd Do It Again'

Mon, 04 May 2026 19:30:00 +0000

Grace sent a vicious bitch session about her assistant… directly to the assistant. Then crawled out of the office on all fours. Cath sent a spicy message to an entire WhatsApp group of under-11 soccer parents and is still avoiding eye contact at training. Ginny proposed hardcore sex on the family chat, sandwiched between her mother-in-law's prayer messages. And Mary accidentally told a business meeting she loved them. Oops.

And what white goods give you a wide-on? Because Mary is evangelical about the power hose and Ginny has feelings about a colander with flaps. Plus a listener is having better sex with her bedside drawer than her husband of 25 years. Dr Ginny has thoughts.

'I Met Meghan Markle And I Looked Like A Tree'

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:30:00 +0000

Bruna met Meghan Markle straight off a long-haul flight and now the photos will never see the light of day. Cath nearly wore sneakers to the event and had to be stopped by an emergency Grace Lam FaceTime. Mary once met George Clooney, thankfully with zero boogers in her nose. And remember when stalking someone pre-Google was an act of creativity and persistence? Because Mia was calling Japanese restaurants every night, and Mary was in a nightclub carpark in her pyjamas to catch a man.

Also: a listener has been in love with her husband and her secret boyfriend for a decade. We have thoughts.

'I Wake Up At 3am And Spiral... Every Night'

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 19:30:00 +0000

Grace micromanaged her birthday and cancelled sex for a car race. Cath once masturbated on the freeway. Mary received a Valentine’s Day card with a pube in it, and Dr Ginni knows why you're awake and spiralling at 3am. And is there a mystery in your life you're yet to solve? Because Cath lined up a date who disappeared in suspicious medical circumstances. We have theories.

'The Bikini Wax That Did Not Go According To Plan'

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 19:30:00 +0000

Cath booked a wax...and it did not go to plan. Sally had a case of celebrity mistaken identity. Mary told a driver to get f**cked and it turned out to be her own mother, and Bruna accidentally did a little wee in a designer dress (and then had to buy it). And how was your first kiss? Because these women absolutely butchered theirs.

'The Post-Divorce Ick'

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 19:30:00 +0000

Cath is back on the dating scene and the icks are immediate. From men with necklaces, to gym selfies, and those who won't ask a single question, she's compiled a list of what makes a man instantly undateable.

Meanwhile, Sally wants to talk about the towel system in your house. Are you a towel dictator, or is it a free-for-all? And why are all the midlife women putting vaginal oestrogen on their faces? Dr Ginni is here to debunk the Tik Tok trend. Finally, the bush is back and Mary has questions.

'I Think I’ve Outgrown My Husband... Now What?'

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 18:30:00 +0000

What happens when your life - and marriage - looks fine on paper....but you feel like you've outgrown it? That's the very real problem we're Unleashing on this week.

Meanwhile, the 90's nearly killed us. Bruna used be a full-blown party girl (including near-death experiences), but now she’s in bed by 9pm. Mary dreams of long, late European dinners but even she's leaving the children's New Years Eve fireworks before they've finished. And Cath once flashed her whole bush to a rave.... but now she just raves about getting into bed early. What happened?

Then, Ginny suspects a friend has committed the ultimate betrayal: recipe sabotage. With missing ingredients and possibly fake instructions, we launch a full investigation into whether some women just… don’t share.

Plus, the medical chat that has taken over the group chat — are we all walking around with a “sausage of poo”… and what exactly are we meant to do about it?

'Mum's Discovered Sex And I Cannot Un-Know The Things'

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 18:30:00 +0000

Camping? Meditation? Marathons?! Absolutely not.

Mary Coustas is calling for the Unleashed anti-bucket list - the things we are officially opting out of for life. Meanwhile, Sally ticks off a major life milestone… and with it comes a deeply unsettling realisation: she is the adult now. Plus, the time Bruna got fired as a bridesmaid, and Mary got sacked for standing her Greek ground.

And in very sad news, Sally shares the loss of her family dog Hannah, and why losing a pet unlocks a very deep and unique kind of grief.

Bruna Went To The Oscars and She's Got Gossip

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 19:00:00 +0000

She's just got off a plane from the Oscars so yeah, we have questions.

What’s it actually like inside the Academy Awards? In this special bonus episode, Bruna Papandrea tells us everything: from the red carpet to the toilets, the snack boxes, and some deeply weird behaviour during "In Memoriam."

We revel in the glamour! The showbiz! The stars!

And then Bruna reveals the devastating truth: she didn't tell a single Hollywood soul about this podcast.

'Be Honest - What Do You Do To Your Face, Grace?'

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 18:30:00 +0000

At some point you look in the mirror and realise gravity has come for your face. Bruna's pretty miffed no one warned her. Meanwhile, should you be with one person for the rest of your life? Because Grace has some ground rules - like if her husband replaces her, she'll come back as a ghost and haunt his d*ck.

And what did you get up to to when your parents weren't looking? Sally stole a library book from the nuns and still feels guilty, and Grace spat in her mums face washer.

And finally, Producer Mia needs some advice after a designer jacket situation at work goes horribly wrong. Lets just say the office "free table" is involved.

'I'm Going To The Oscars And I Might Even Shower'

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 18:30:00 +0000

A ticket to the Oscars, a real estate agent gone wrong, and an emotional cup of tea.

Bruna casually prepares to go to the Oscars. Meanwhile at home, Ginni has beef with people that take their shoes off in houses. Grace has some feedback for a real-estate agent, and Cath pays $140 to drink a cup of tea, sit in a circle and cry with strangers. Then we remember the first concert we went to - with a surprising result.

'Friendship Is The Affair Your Husband Knows You're Having'

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:30:00 +0000

How many psychics is too many psychics? Cath has reached the point where she needs a Chat GPT spreadsheet to track them all.

Mary confirms - with evidence - that her mother has never given a blowjob.

Bruna joins a wellness cult called 75 Hard, but she still can’t find time for a shower.

Grace’s clairvoyant spat water all over her to exorcise a ghost. Sadly, it didn't work for Bruna when the ghost of Princess Diana turned up in her bedroom.

Plus, a miracle church, and the lengths we go to for love, for family, and for the sisterhood.

So, What’s This Show All About?

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 05:25:00 +0000

The antidote to the bin-fire of right now.

Forget inspirational life coach energy. Forget toxic positivity. This is the show for the woman who is tired of being a human doormat, sick of being told to get in the bin, and currently eating her body weight in Greek yogurt because someone on Instagram said protein is the answer and honestly...to what?

From the brain (and slightly unhinged vision board) of Mia Freedman comes a podcast that’s not inspirational even in the slightest. You don’t need to learn anything or remember anything either. Just turn up.

Join your smartest, most brilliant friends; Sally Hepworth, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam, Cathrine Mahoney, and Dr Ginni Mansberg for a bit of distraction, some helpful things, and a laugh. Produced by Mia Freedman, who now owns a hat with PRODUCER written on it in very large font. Launching Feb 3. New eps every Tuesday. Tell your group chat. Send it to your sister. Recommend it aggressively to the friend who says “I don’t really listen to podcasts”. She's an idiot.

Follow the chaos on Instagram: @unleashed.showFollow on Apple Podcasts and SpotifyAnd if you are ready to get unhinged with us, leave a review.
