It's no secret that one of our roman empires for 2024 was getting your colours done.
So with that in mind we are sharing one of our most talked about conversations with you.

Have you had your colours done? Are you a warm autumn? A cool spring? Confused? Don't worry we are here to help!

Seasonal colour analysis has made a big comeback since the 80s, with the trend going viral on tiktok and it's no secret that Holly, Mia and Jessie are all officially obsessed.

In this special episode of Mamamia Out Loud, we invited fashion designer and colour analysis expert, Kim Crowley, to unpack everything you need to know about colour. From how to identify exactly what season you are, to the benefits of knowing what your colour season is, and the one colour that suits every single person.

Is it getting hot in here... or is it just peri? We have a sexy little treat for you Outlouders and it's an episode all about sex.

Overlooked, touched-out and too tired. That's how many MID women feel about sex. It's how Leslie Morgan felt, too. At 49, her marriage ended, and after not having sex for three years, she decided to change that. Over the next year, Leslie found five boyfriends and discovered her sexual self wasn't actually dead, she was just having a good lie down.

In this MID interview, Holly Wainwright speaks to author and advocate Leslie Morgan, to discuss what women really mean when they say they no longer care about sex, why you should never cover your wrinkles to attract a younger man (if you want one) and how it feels to have the best sex of your life after 50.

Happy New Year Outlouders! It’s the first day of 2025, and that means it's time for Word Of The Year.

If you're new here... welcome to the group and to one of our most anticipated episodes of the year.

New Year's resolutions can be a bit drab, so instead, every year we choose a word to that helps us set an intention for the 12 months ahead of us. Word of the year is more of a vibe that helps create a focus or filter for every moment and decision, big or small, that is to come.

But before Holly, Jessie and Mia share their words for 2025... they reflect on 2024. They give themselves a performance review on their word for last year and see if they lived up to them... or better yet remembered what it was!

What a wild year 2024 has been filled with highs and lows. One thing we are grateful for is having YOU the Outlouders with us every episode of this year.

In this episode, Holly, Mia and Jessie are reflecting on the year that was. From health concerns, seasons ending, best friends, life transitions.. and so much more. There is lots of deep and meaningful in this episode. Plus, Mia breaks the rules (the very rules she is so strict about) and does her best before her worst.

Did you know that this time of year is when couples therapists are booked out? Can't think why...

But it's for this reason that we have today's little treat — an episode which Mia Freedman wanted to share with you all from No Filter.

David Finch is a lot of things: he’s an Autism and Neurodiversity consultant, the author of The Journal of Best Practices; A Memoir of Marriage, Asperger Syndrome, and One Man’s Quest to Be a Better Husband, an essayist for the New York Times Modern Love column…and he’s also UNmarried.

In this two-part special episode of No Filter, David Finch opens up to Mia about his life before and after his Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis, his quest to be the best husband and father he could be — and how he ended up UNmarried (and what that even means).

You can hear the second half of Mia's conversation with David here.

Outlouders, grief has no time for fancy words and clever jokes. In fact, it hasn't a lot of time for words, full-stop. It's a full-body experience that can change you on every level.

And at this time of year, loss, be it past or present, can feel all the more raw. That's why this episode of MID feels so important to share today. Interfaith minister, author and death-walker Dr Jackie Bailey has experienced a great deal of loss, and she spends her life walking others through it, helping people prepare for it, and acknowledging it when it happens.

If you think that makes for a depressing interview, you'd be wrong. Jackie is insightful, wise and funny, full of both practical and emotional support for the grieving. She's the perfect person to help us through the hard parts.
