UPDATE FROM ABBIE: "Please note I've gotten two new pieces of information since publishing this episode; The first is that I had seen screenshots of Nara Smith using #tradwife, but I have since been told they were not real thanks to a follower! Any references to this have now been edited out of the episode. I have also found out that she has previously posted videos of herself drinking raw milk while pregnant." (It is illegal to sell raw/unpasteurised milk for human consumption in Australia) Nara Smith's appearance on Call Her Daddy caused some arguments online about what she does or doesn't stand for. Abbie unpacks why Nara never was a trad-wife, why some women are rejecting the title, and talks about the real dangers that these videos cause. Abbie also introduces us to a new woman in the tradwife space she's obsessed with, but first, Abbie has had some epiphs about the weirdo men in the comments of Adam's videos...

CW: This episode contains discussions of mental ill-health, chronic illness, and suicidality. If this raises any issues for you help is available 24/7 via Lifeline at https://www.lifeline.org.au/ or by calling 13 11 14, as well as Beyond Blue at 1300 224 636 or https://www.beyondblue.org.au . At just 16 years old Lily Schubert got sick, eventually receiving a diagnosis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. She was forced to drop out of school and was bedbound for six years. Her condition worsened to the point that even small exposures to light, sound, or touch would cause severe crashes. As her symptoms started to improve, she started documenting her life on TikTok, with videos of her 'firsts' reaching millions of people around the world. Lily sits down with Abbie to talk about the reality of living with ME, what helped her get through her darkest days, and why she doesn't subscribe to the 'gratitude' narrative.

If any of the topics discussed is triggering for you, please seek help by visiting Lifeline's website at https://www.lifeline.org.au/ or by calling 13 11 14. Since we last had Harrison James on the podcast, he's achieved sweeping legislative change with his #YourReferenceAintRelevant campaign. But it wasn't smooth sailing for Harri to go from living in survival mode to advocate and change-maker. In his new book Transform Your Pain Into Purpose , he gives you the guide he wish he had for handling trauma. He and Abbie discuss burnout, the double-edged sword of social media in advocacy, his 'second chance' at fatherhood, and why you don't need to do anything public with your trauma.
