Bring Back the Middle Finger, Fake Smiles and Gen Z are Glowing Down

Brodie is still away on her 40th sabbatical this week, having left her Croatian island life to travel to Bali for her birthday on Saturday. While Gracie and Tegan hold down the fort, the incredible Ella Monnery joins us! Gracie opens up a deeply important conversation for Birth Trauma Awareness week, getting vulnerable about her own experiences navigating an emergency C-section, mastitis, post-natal depression, anxiety, and more. We unpack the latest news that Gen Z is reportedly "glowing down," and debate which beauty treatments we’d drop first to save a few pennies. Plus, we break down how faking smiles at work can lead to drinking, Pitbull’s new world record, and seeking validation from social media. Also, Gracie explains why we need to bring back the middle finger, Tegan shares how she’s been preparing for her big 30th birthday next week, and Ella reveals how she’s navigating her Saturn Return.
