What's the worst question your boss has ever asked you? Because Mia Freedman just went next level.

Three women walk into a studio. And it’s Fifty Shades of Grey and one very, very bright shade of pink.

What’s the worst question your boss has ever asked you?

Because it cannot be as bad as what Mia cornered me into admitting today. Mum, do not listen.  Nanna. Do not listen.  Dad? Well, my dad is deaf and this is possibly the only time in my life I’m thankful for that.

This week’s episode of Mamamia Outloud has dropped, and as usual, it’s all the things we’re talking about, and a few things we probably shouldn’t.

With Fifty Shades of Grey coming to a cinema near you this weekend,  not everyone is eagerly anticipating seeing the steamy book on the big screen. There are growing calls to boycott the film, with many saying it glamorises violence, stalking, manipulation and rape.  Is this an over-reaction to a fictional story? Shouldn’t it be harmless escapism? Or does it point to something more sinister? Note: we have not seen the movie.  But all three of us have read the book.

Sia is one of Australia’s most successful musicians.  The mega songstress has a social phobia that sees her shun the limelight. It’s an approach that raises some interesting and uncomfortable questions; namely, could mental illness be used as a marketing tool?

What’s Jacqui Lambie done now? She’s won one of us over, that’s what.  But how long will it last?

And in obsessions this week, the mindfulness app that will change your whole life in just 10 minutes a day, and the TV show that is so good, it made Mia Freedman want to be African American.

All that in less than 40 minutes. The perfect companion to your commute/ride/walk/gardening/cooking/crafting/bedroom time.
