Christie Whelan Browne - Unbreakable
Jul 23, 2023 1h 32m<p>Christie Whelan Browne is one of the funniest (and most talented) people in Australia. If you know, you know. She’s won multiple awards and done everything from stage and musical theatre, to TV drama and comedy… and most recently Dancing with the Stars.</p> <p>But it’s her journey, before the #MeToo movement (and continues today) that’s making the biggest impact. Christie has rarely spoken so openly about her very public and tumultuous experience through the courts, in the media and even within her own family, as she became the face of a high-profile criminal trial and subsequent defamation trial that turned her life upside down.</p> <p>Historically, making the world a better, safer and more equal place for women has never been easy. Far from it. And in this episode Christie tells Hugh, Ryan and Josh what it was like for her, as she landed in the firing line while trying to protect other women like her. To us, Christie is an inspiration and we couldn’t be more grateful to her for sharing her imperfect story with us.<br><br>To watch the True Stories episode with Christie, please follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/3BV2x6Y">https://bit.ly/3BV2x6Y</a></p> <p>To view The Blessed One on Instagram, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/3NYEiu7">https://bit.ly/3NYEiu7</a><br><br>This episode discusses allegations of indecent assault, if this brings up anything for you, you can contact 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732. 1800 RESPECT is a national 24/7 counselling line for anyone who has experienced, or is at risk of, family and domestic violence and/or sexual assault.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Hugh & Penny - The Elephant in the Relationship
Jun 25, 2023 1h 8m<p>You might remember Penny Moodie from her first appearance on The Imperfects when she talked about her own experience with OCD. Link below if you don’t! Well, Penny is back to talk about something else; her marriage with Hugh. Or, more specifically, and far less click-baity, the mental load in her marriage with Hugh. <br><br>“The mental load” is the cognitive effort that’s required to juggle the often invisible labour of running a household. Something that Penny noticed was becoming too much for her to handle. <br><br>In this unique episode, Hugh and Penny talk about how they dealt with this, and in doing so give us the rare opportunity to hear a real married couple talk about their real issues. All while Ryan and Josh pretend to not be on Team Penny. If you or your partner is struggling with the very real issue of mental overload, this episode is probably for you.<br><br>To learn more about Fair Play, the book, the cards and Eve Rodsky's work, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/45uLCFS">https://bit.ly/45uLCFS</a></p> <p>To watch Bluey episode The Pool, mentioned in this episode, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/3MSORzF">https://bit.ly/3MSORzF</a></p> <p>To read more about how breast feeding equates to a full time work load, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/45sLkPR">https://bit.ly/45sLkPR</a></p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
