How Are You Doing? A Check In With Amelia Lester Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

Today I’m calling up one of my best friends, Amelia Lester who some of you may know if you listened to the podcast we used to host together about Trump’s America called Tell Me It’s Going To Be Ok.

Amelia and I met when she was the editor of the Good Weekend magazine and living in Sydney - it’s her hometown but she’s lived most of her adult life in America ever since she moved there to go to Harvard on a scholarship in 2001.

She came home to Australia a few years ago for that big job but left again soon after to marry her partner who is a military doctor based in the US which is where she lives now.

So what's it like living in the country that is now the #1 Corona country in the world? And what's it like being married to a doctor who is treating covid patients? We had a lot of laughs in this conversation. Enjoy. Mia xxxx

Sara-Marie Fedele: The Original Reality Star Mar 27, 2020

Show notes

It's been nearly twenty years since Sara-Marie Fedele bum danced her way into the heart of any Australian who had a TV, during the first season of Big Brother.

Shortly after that, being one of the millions of Australians who fell in love with her, Mia put her on the cover of Cosmopolitan and nearly lost her job for it.

Sara-Marie paved the way, unintentionally, in so many ways: in the body positivity movement, in reality television and negotiating a life after her three months of enormous fame.

She's walked an unexpectedly fine line between public and private life over the last two decades - and Mia thought it was time to catch up.

There's just no way you'll be listening to this conversation without smiling from ear to ear, pretty much the whole time.

It's time to fall in love with Sara-Marie again.

The Power of Female Friendship: Mandy & Kate's Story Mar 15, 2020

Show notes

Before they met one another, Kate Jones and Mandy Hose were both pregnant with twins at the same time. They each gave birth prematurely and after white-knuckling their way through the terrifying world of the newborn intensive care unit, eventually got to bring their babies home.

In time, both Mandy and Kate's twins would be diagnosed with additional needs and so began a new life for their two families; lives that neither was prepared for and which would take them both to some really unexpected places. The similarities in their situations are almost unbelievable.

Somehow, Kate and Mandy found each other and forged a friendship in fire. But oh, how they make each other laugh.

Now they're on No Filter, talking about how they met, and how their friendship has become an unlikely national phenomenon.

Megan Gale Has Found Her Voice Mar 01, 2020

Show notes

Megan Gale was a superstar in Italy before Australians knew who she was.

She'd been ready to give up modelling when she landed a life-changing gig in Italy in the nineties. Her sudden fame overseas meant Australia finally learned her name and she spent a few years juggling careers in different countries. She was the face of David Jones for nearly two decades.

When the time came to start thinking about life outside modelling, she had a crack at acting and found herself cast as Wonderwoman years before the 2017 film made Gal Gadot a star.

Megan's now a Lady Startup and a mother of two, married to AFL/Survivor star Shaun Hampson. In this episode of No Filter, Megan talks Mia through her life as a model, becoming a Lady Startup and having a miscarriage... all in the public eye.

Gabbie Stroud Has A Few Things She Wants School Parents To Know Feb 23, 2020

Show notes

Here are some things worth knowing about school life:
Teachers aren't on call for parents 24/7... and under no circumstances should a parent ever follow a teacher home from school to talk about their child. Seriously. That happens.
Gabbie left teaching a few years ago and did odd jobs like cleaning while she wrote her first book, the best-selling 'Teacher'.
She's back now with a new book, 'Dear Parents', a sometimes uncomfortable look at how easy it is for parents to cross boundaries with teachers.
In this episode, she joins Mia Freedman to talk about how parents can negotiate that relationship with the other adult in their children's lives... the teacher.

It's Gabbie's second time on No Filter, check out her first visit here: https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/no-filter/gabbie-stroud-broke-up-with-teaching/
