Unleashed

Sally has a stack of new boundaries she hasn’t said out loud yet, and she wants a second opinion on whether they make her the villain. Annaliese filmed a date for TikTok, and the man showed up in toe shoes. The twist: he’d also arranged to meet her friend at the same bar, at the same time.
Ginni weighs in on whether expired makeup will actually hurt you (with a very unscientific lipstick hack) and admits she has no boundaries when it comes to her dog’s tongue. And a listener who quit as class parent rep and now has parents begging her back. The hosts’ solution involves retirees.
In your ears today: Ginni Mansberg, Sally Hepworth and Annaliese Todd, filling in for Cath Mahoney.

Welcome to Burning Questions.
If you grew up with Dolly Doctor, this show is for you. No question is too embarrassing, too niche or too weird. On this brand new show, Cath Mahoney asks the health questions you’ve sent us and Dr Ginni Mansberg answers them.
On today's show, one Unleasher is surviving on three or four broken hours a night and is desperate for answers.
Cath puts TikTok’s favourite peri fix, turmeric, to the test. She also asks the question we’re all asking with a glass in hand: is the nightly red helping you nod off, or is it the reason you’re awake at 3am?
Plus quick ones on metabolism in your 50s, your pelvic floor and vaginal dryness. And the Dr’s orders, exactly what to say to your GP about your sleep.
Got a burning question? Email us at podcast@mamamia.com.au or leave us a voice note here and let us know if you'd like us to re-voice. We take your anonymity seriously! You can also DM us on instagram @unleashed.show

Bruna tried very hard to be zen about being stuck in Hawaii even though it took 55 hours and two cancelled flights to get home. Cath walked out of a Pilates class halfway through, in front of everyone, in a t-shirt that looked like she’d dressed out of a bin. Ginni swapped the hardest day of an Italian hike for a ferry packed with 500,000 of her closest friends, and we all learned what a crampon is. (Not a hiking tampon.)
Plus, the Substack that told Gen X women they were sold a myth. And a listener whose daughter came home to find her bed replaced with a Pilates reformer.
In your ears today: Ginni Mansberg, Bruna Papandrea and Cath Mahoney.

Sally was unprepared for an overseas mishap as a single parent. Annaliese steps in for Cath and shares how she’s entered the era of “having a fall” rather than simply falling over. Mary gave a friend some tough love, and it paid off, but it’s a risky move to pull.
Plus, the extremely unscientific reasons we’re all getting injured in our sleep after 40 (Ginni was sorely needed for this one… or perhaps Dr Bruna Papandrea). And a listener whose sister left her out of the bridal party. The hosts’ advice? It involves a white dress.
In your ears today: Mary Coustas, Sally Hepworth and Annaliese Todd, filling in for Cath Mahoney.

Cath flew one-way across the country to meet a man she had already married in her head, and he cried instead of consummating. Bruna discovered she had been paying someones phone bill for two and a half years, to the tune of five grand. Mary's mum stormed a bank teller into a discount and came back with the hair to prove it. And Cath slid into a 24-year-old's DMs, purely, she swears, for the history content. Plus: the skin check Bruna avoided for years, the mentoring session that ended one woman's acting dreams, and the Unleasher wondering if 40 is too old to start again.
