So Dramatic! with Megan Pustetto

Hey Drama Army! Just popping into your feeds with a little taste of a brand new show we recently launched on the Kind Regards Network: 'The Big Sister Hotline' - hosted by acclaimed writer, broadcaster and absolute feminist powerhouse Clementine Ford. Each week, Clem dishes out the kind of sisterly advice you may not want to hear but definitely need to, answering the messy, urgent questions you’re too scared to ask your mates: from love, boundaries, body image, workplace bullshit, sex, politics and everything else in between. Expect brutal clarity, warm tough love, and the kind of truth bombs that make you rethink what you’ve been taught. Her latest episode - “How Do You Find the Energy to Smash the Patriarchy When the Patriarchy Smashes You?” is an absolute must-listen. A listener writes in about being burned out and betrayed by patriarchal bullshit in the workplace, and Clem digs into the moral injury of doing everything “right” inside a system rigged to protect men and bearing the impossible weight of fighting the patriarchy from within its walls. She talks about the grief of being punished for resistance, rage, resilience, and the stubborn little fire that keeps us rising even when we’re exhausted. It's like a f*ck you, a pep talk and a hug all in one!If you enjoyed this episode, make sure you subscribe to 'Clementine Ford's Big Sister Hotline' wherever you get your podcasts, including Apple and Spotify. This podcast is part of the Kind Regards Network.

I've got even more receipts to spill, and I'll be clapping back at Awhina (again!) with some shade of my own!Following Episode 610, where several of her co-stars exposed her clout-chasing antics and revealed she'd been dropped by her manager, Awhina wasted no time hitting back - literally. Attacking me, the Drama Army, Sierah, and of course, Jacqui, in the comments section on our Instagram... and yes, it got heated. Even Ryan and Adrian weighed in!Plus, exclusive source intel that completely debunks her attempts to dunk on our original claims! Plus, the "abusive" phone call she made to a co-star for "leaking information" to us following our episode, which Awhina ironically claimed was "all lies"...PLUS Our 'High Vibe Hero of the Week Award' powered by The Collagen Co's Beautiful Energy!PLUS LOTS MORE!Hosted by Megan PustettoGot a tip?
