EMERGENCY SUBS EXTRA: Blake Lively, Taylor Swift, Revealing Texts & A Masterclass In Awkward Conversations

🚨 Outlouders, it's another code red. We woke up to the news that private text messages between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have been made public as part of the ongoing legal case between Lively and Justin Baldoni. Mia has a lot of thoughts about them — and female friendship, in particular — which she needs to work through. This is where you come in, Outlouders. Welcome.

Because female friendship is where we do our best emotional work — and sometimes our messiest. It’s the place where conflict isn’t a dealbreaker, it’s a test of how much you care. Where you have the awkward conversation, say the uncomfortable thing, and stay in the room because walking away would be easier but wrong. Today, Mia's talking about what it actually takes to hold onto the women you love, even when it’s tense, complicated... and a little bit cringe.

Our regular subscriber episode Jessie's Twins Update & What We Really Did Over The Holidays with Mia, Jessie and Holly drops this afternoon at 5pm but for now, get a little bit of extra Mia goodness in your ears.

We’re giving away a Your Reformer Pilates bed (worth $3,400). And the good news is — as a subscriber, you're already in the running to win. 🎉
