What happens when you start believing everyone around you is doing their best? Does it change the way you think? And the President of the United States has been accused of rape, but no one is talking about it...so what’s going on? Oh, and we have a special announcement… 

This week one story is dominating all our media and that's the saga of Israel Folau.  The rugby player, whose job, money, and now wife, is filling every news report across the country. So why are we so captivated by this issue? 

Plus, Donald Trump has been accused of rape and no one is talking about it.  

And Brene Brown wants us to think that all people are doing their best. But is that really true? And why can it be hard to do? 

Oh! And in case you missed it - we are going on tour!

You can buy tickets on Friday at mamamia.com.au/events and it's all thanks to our partners, Toyota Kluger….
