Today we are joined again by the phenomenal Elizabeth Gilbert. We recorded an episode with Liz last year titled ‘Being Single Needs A Rebrand’
In that episode we spoke about:
What Liz’s life was like before and after the success of Eat, Pray, Love,
If she were to name ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ again it would be ‘Not exactly what I had in mind’ and
How Liz used to drain herself by giving her everything to relationships but now feels being emotionally autonomous
Liz’s latest book “all the way to the river” is an incredibly honest recount of her own experiences of sex and love addiction alongside her wife’s journey through drug addiction and terminal cancer.
Today we speak about:
What sex and love addiction actually looks like (it might be more familiar to you than you expect)
What it feels like to be out of control of yourself
Coping with validation cravings, codependency and grief
Why Liz didn’t have a choice but to be honest in this book
Having a deep level of intimacy with your best friend
A revelation about trigger warnings
Being an olympic level people pleaser
Why Liz doesn’t read any reviews anymore and what that’s taught her about our sense of self
The parameters she’s had to put on herself to reach ‘emotional sobriety’

And on her Instagram

Hey Lifers!
We’re properly back after a few weeks off and we missed you all so much!
We also have a brand spanking new TV show that we are hosting to tell you about!
Our holidays were very different. Britt has been slothing her way into Italian life and objectively not looking her best. Laura has become particularly acquainted with the young pharmacist and is repetitively speaking about how they are not having a 4th child.

None of us took part in the ‘flashback to 2016’ trend because some of us allegedly look like entirely different human beings and those memories deserve to stay in the past!
We all interpreted the memo to create 2026 ins and outs differently. Laura is the only one who understood the assignment but we’ve found an unlikely soberish candidate for 2026.
You’ve likely heard of ‘admin night’ but would you try any of these?
Batch meal prep party
Photo cleanup and memory swap — sort phone photos together and share stories behind old pictures
Clothes edit and swap — declutter wardrobes and do a clothes swap with friends
Inbox detox session — delete, unsubscribe, and organise your email
Password reset party — spend an evening updating passwords and enabling security
Swipe party - where you all swipe the apps together

Hey Lifers!
Today's ask uncut features special guest and Laura's husband Matt (aka Matty J).
Our favourite mum and dad had some issues getting this episode recorded so it's 11pm and there's whispering in an attempt to keep the 3 kids asleep.
Also Matt would like a plug for Two Doting Dads and most certainly not to be live edited. It's bad for his flow and bad for his juju.
Matt and Laura firstly answer questions about themselves like what their qualifications are... this could be a genuine or a sassy question! They also speak about:
How they've managed going from 2 to 3 kids
How they keep the 'spark' alive
Being asked about gender disappointment
Vasectomy considerations
'Ageing' in the public eye
Plus we answer your dilemmas!
IS HE OVER REACTING TO A PAD?
I was in the bathroom this morning changing my pad and wrapped up the old one in the sleeve of the new one. My step son who is 10 years old came bursting in so I quickly placed it next to the hair dryer. It was just me and him. He likes to talk and ask strange questions so I answered his questions and I honestly just completely forgot about my wrapped up pad. A few hours later I realised that I might not have disposed it because I got distracted by my step son and I asked my partner if he could check. He didn't respond all day. When I got home he completely lost it at me. He raised his voice, snapped and kept going on and on and on calling me disgusting and telling me to clean up after myself. This was all over a little pad that was wrapped up and left on the side table in the bathroom. Now, I'm not embarrassed by this. I couldn't care less but his reaction feels totally over the top. Is this reasonable or is he out of line?
CAN I TELL MY SISTER SHE SELF SABOTAGES?
My sister is 23 which I know is young in the grand scheme of things. She's had about 4 boyfriends in the past 4 years and many situationships in between all of these guys. They have all been absolute flogs except for the most recent one. He is seriously just the best guy. He cares for her so much and he went above and beyond for not only her but our whole extended family. She ended things with him after they had a minor disagreement and is now straight back into a 'hoe' phase. Is there a nice way I can tell her that she has f*cked up and that this boy is a rarity that she will likely not come across again. She's quite defensive but she self sabotages every good thing that comes her way and I'd hate for her to lose a guy who was perfect for her. Please help from a worried sister.
MY PARTNER BAILED ON ME FOR A GAMES NIGHT WITH HIS MATES
My grandfather passed away this week at the age of 95. Today we had the viewing for him. I don't know if this is just a Catholic thing, but it happens a few days before the funeral. My partner told me he could not get off work in time to make the viewing at 4:30, which was fine. He had been there for my family and was taking the day off for the funeral anyway. The main annoying thing though, was that I didn't want our two year old daughter to attend. I was hoping that he could stay at home with her. Now, while I'm at the viewing he messages me to confess that he actually did leave work early today, and had gone to his mates place for a game tournament that they do every year. This had been planned for quite some time. I'd forgotten about it with my grandfather's death, and also the fact that I am three weeks postpartum. We have a three week old and a two year old together. Usually he is a great dad and never avoids looking after the kids, etc. but my main issue is the lie and that ultimately he chose his friends over me and the initial lie about having to work. Am I overreacting with postpartum hormones or is this a deal breaker?
