MID: Holly Wainwright — Grief Has No Time For Your Bullshit

Outlouders, grief has no time for fancy words and clever jokes. In fact, it hasn't a lot of time for words, full-stop. It's a full-body experience that can change you on every level. And at this time of year, loss, be it past or present, can feel all the more raw. That's why this episode of MID feels so important to share today. Interfaith minister, author and death-walker Dr Jackie Bailey has experienced a great deal of loss, and she spends her life walking others through it, helping people prepare for it, and acknowledging it when it happens. If you think that makes for a depressing interview, you'd be wrong. Jackie is insightful, wise and funny, full of both practical and emotional support for the grieving. She's the perfect person to help us through the hard parts.

From City To The Regions: Holly Wainwright's Big Move 3 Years On

We often get a little reflective at this time of year. What we want more, or less, of in life. Where we're going. What it all means. And when you start thinking like this, it can lead to big life decisions. That's exactly what happened to Holly Wainwright. Three years ago, she was in this sort of reflective mood; one which ultimately led to her and her partner's decision to make the momentous family move from city to country. In this episode, Mia sits down with Holly to ask all the questions both she and the Outlouders have been wanting to know about Holly's move. Enjoy this intimate conversation about the highs and lows of making a major life choice.

SUBSCRIBER: Festive Family Estrangement & The Tricky Part Of The Holidays

The festive season isn't always joyful. For many it can be an uncomfortable time when family tension and drama are next level. In this episode, Holly, Mia and Jessie help an Outlouder whose greedy sibling took money that never belonged to them. Should our Outlouder keep the peace, confront their family member or cancel spending any time with them at Christmas? We discuss a very difficult family dynamic. Plus, navigating blended families with little kids at Christmas. It's a common dillema which calls for some very honest advice.

Emergency Meeting: The Blake Lively Smear Campaign Unpacked

“We can bury anyone: Inside a Hollywood smear machine”. That’s the New York Times headline that meant, holiday or no holiday, we were definitely bringing you a show today. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni made headlines just a few months ago for their roles in one of the year’s most-watched films, It Ends With Us. But what was happening off-screen turned out to be an even bigger story. In this emergency meeting of Out Loud, Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack the facts behind Blake's legal complaint against her co-star and director Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and an orchestrated campaign to destroy her reputation. Plus, what this lawsuit means for Hollywood power dynamics, celebrity reputations, and the way narratives are shaped online. This story has implications far beyond a single movie. It’s about the intersection of art, accountability, and the manipulation of public perception in the digital age. Join us as we break it all down.
