When Vanessa Low was 15, she accidentally stumbled off an overcrowded platform and was hit by a train. She lost both her legs around the knee, broke multiple other bones and was placed in a coma. A couple years later she was competing internationally.
She’s now a Paralympic gold and silver medallist, six-time World Championship medallist and is the reigning world record holder in the women’s long jump T61.
Vanessa Low's preparation for the Paris Paralympics is a little different as she's now the mother to an almost-two-year-old, Matteo. Vanessa doesn't fight change, she embraces it.
In the lead-up to the Paris Olympics and Paralympics, guest host Libby Trickett is jumping into the No Filter seat to talk to some of Australia's most inspiring athletes.

Throuple Life: Rowan Mangan And Her Two Wives May 05, 2024

Show notes

Subscribe to Mamamia
Rowan Mangan never expected to be part of a throuple. Neither did her two partners, Martha Beck and Karen Gerdes who had been together for several decades before Rowan came into their lives.

Today, the three women are in a monogamous relationship with one another and are raising a toddler after Rowan gave birth to their daughter during the pandemic.
In this No Filter episode Mia Freedman asks Rowan how it all works. How did they decide they wanted to be together? How did their families react? How do they deal with jealousy? And who has to sleep in the middle because that seems like it would be uncomfortable.

Marian Keyes, one of the most successful authors in the world, has forgotten how to read three times.
Once when she fell into a pit of depression that lasted four years and nearly cost her her marriage and her life. Once at the start of Covid. And last year, after her father died.
Marian joins Mia Freedman to reveal how she got through it, as well as how she let go of bitterness and grief that came with not being able to have children with her husband.
And despite thinking alcohol was the love of her life she’s managed to stay sober for 30 years. Why does she still call herself an alcoholic?

Yes, back in 2018 she had an unfortunate incident at Kylie Jenner’s 21st that was a low point in her life. It was made far worse by the fact it was captured by paparazzi whose photos went viral.

'Australia’s Most Sexually Active Woman' On Positions, Pleasure & Money Mar 24, 2024

Show notes

You can hear the second half of Mia's conversation with Annie here.
Subscribe to Mamamia

At the intersection of sex, marketing and the gig economy, you will find Annie Knight, who has been branded ‘Australia’s Most Sexually Active Woman’.
Annie is a 27-year-old Brisbane woman who makes her own sex content and sells it to subscribers via Only Fans where she is in the top 0.02% of creators on the platform.

Only Fans became wildly popular during the pandemic, with thousands of Australians creating accounts in the hope of converting home made content - usually sexually explicit photos and videos - into cash.

But OnlyFans isn’t the golden goose of the gig economy. The vast majority of creators make very little money. And then there’s Annie. So how much does she make? And what exactly does she have to do for it?

Show notes

Subscribe to Mamamia

When Kayla Itsines’ fitness empire was at its peak, she’d just had her first baby. Behind the scenes she was feeling her absolute worst and was internally screaming “when is this gonna get better?”

She ended her relationship with her business partner and fiance Tobi Pearce and they later sold their company for hundreds of millions of dollars.
They’ve just bought it back. They’re now co-owners and co-parents, while Kayla is now married to someone else and has had her second child.
In this conversation Kayla tells guest host Kate Langbroek about how she decided her relationship wasn’t right, how she ended up with her best friend and why she bought back her business: “It’s my baby and I want it back”.

Mia Freedman: Why can’t we go for a f***ing run? Mar 12, 2024

Show notes

Support Mamamia

With the news that a man has been charged with the murder of Samantha Murphy after she disappeared in Ballarat when she went for a Sunday morning run near her home six weeks ago, women are feeling heartsick and despairing and furious and so very tired at what seems like the impossible task of staying safe while trying to live our lives.

In this special episode, Mia Freedman has a message for our brothers, our fathers, our partners, our lovers, our friends, our sons and our workmates… here’s something the women in your lives would like you to know.

THE END BITS:

While it appears Samantha was killed by a stranger, a woman reports domestic or family violence every 2 minutes in Australia. Help her start again with RizeUp.

Mamamia has partnered with community-driven charity RizeUp to help women escape these situations and start their lives again. We’re asking Australians to donate $2 per week to help reduce the number of women being killed and support them to start their lives again free from family violence.
