    2020: The Year Of Little Griefs & How To Process Them

    Christmas. It’s often talked about as the most wonderful time of the year. But at the end of an unspeakable year, it feels like we are all crawling to the finish line that is Christmas in 2020. And for a lot of us, it’s filled with a feeling of grief. Grief for a year we didn’t have. Grief for family we can’t see. And grief for those we lost. Two years ago I sat down with grief counselor Petrea King to talk about how to face Christmas when life is not as you know it. She’s counselled over 120,000 people who are living with cancer and other life-challenging illnesses, or dealing with grief, loss, trauma and tragedy through her foundation, Quest For Life. And because this year has really been life as we don’t know it, I thought it was time to talk to Petrea again. About grief. And about lowering the bar this Christmas. Because it’s okay not to be okay. Here’s Petrea.

    What Happened To Stan Walker

    When you think of Stan Walker, you probably think of Australian Idol, and that catchy song ‘Black Box’ he released straight after he won it in 2009. Stan was 18 when he started on Idol, and 19 by the time he won it. And to most of us, he was just Stan Walker from Australian Idol; the boy who made it big. But what we didn’t know, and what we wouldn’t know until years later was that there was so much more to Stan’s story. Now, at 30, he's a survivor in more ways than one. Just a heads up, this conversation deals with family violence. If you or someone you know needs help, please call 1800RESPECT now.

    We're dropping into your feed to share an awesome episode of our new podcast, What I Eat When, with you: https://omny.fm/shows/what-i-eat-when/playlists/what-i-eat-when What do you eat when... you're alone? You're homesick? You're celebrating? What you eat when says a lot about you, about your culture, your taste, your family, and what matters to you.

And on our first episode host Silvia Colloca is joined by self-confessed 'Crap Housewife' Jessica Rowe. So what does Jess eat when she's on holiday? Or when she's pregnant? And why does she match her hats with the dinner she's making? Although she doesn't like cooking, as she explains to Silvia, she still likes eating. And food holds a lot of memories for her. As you're about to find out...

    Inside The Life Of A Secret Alcoholic

    For the past 5 years, today's guest has kept a secret. She’d wake up and start drinking to get through the day. She’d leave work for a coffee break and buy a bottle of white wine. She’d consume roughly around 80 standard drinks, within one week. Heidi first sought help in 2018 for her alcohol addiction but she didn’t tell anyone. Then last year she came across a call out on social media looking for people to participate in a free six month program if they were struggling with addiction. So she applied. That program would go on to be filmed for SBS’s documentary series Addicted Australia. And all of a sudden, Heidi’s very private addiction became very very public. This is her story.

    The Day Shanna Realised She Was An Alcoholic

    What's the difference between a party girl and an alcoholic? For today's guest, it was about 20 years, a series of traumas, and a large dose of denial. Shanna Whan finally realised she was in serious trouble when she 'came to' in the Emergency Department after being found crumpled and bleeding at the bottom of a flight of stairs. You see for a long time, like many ''high-functioning'' alcoholics, Shan convinced herself it wasn't a serious problem because she was a successful business woman by day, and didn't drink until ''after five'' .... Growing up in rural Australia, heavy drinking was a culturally ingrained and glorified rite of passage she embraced wholeheartedly .. to try and fit in. But it wasn’t until her rock bottom in early 2015 that she knew she had to reach out and ask for help and take action, or die young. Fast forward six years, 15,000 volunteer hours, starting over from scratch, endless failures, knockbacks, and opposition - and now Shanna is the founder and CEO of a national charity called Sober In The Country. This is her story... THE END BITS: Check out Sober In The Country here - https://www.soberinthecountry.org/.

    Magazine Queens: The Editors Who Influenced A Generation

    From the 1980s to the 2000s, before the Internet arrived, magazines were tops. Cosmopolitan, Cleo, Dolly, Harper's Bazaar... there were so many. They were filled with information on how to be a girl, or a woman, alongside glossy shots of models like Elle Macpherson, Sonia Klein and Claudia Schiffer. But sadly, all these magazines and the brands behind them are now gone. Deborah Thomas and Paula Joye have, between them, worked at, launched or edited pretty much every major magazine in Australia. Deborah was Mia's first boss when she started at Cleo and Paula and Mia shared an office there for years. In this episode of No Filter, Mia, Deborah and Paula take a trip down memory lane and talk about everything from photoshoots with famous 90's models to working for the infamous Packer family to life after magazines.

    Loneliness: The Silent Epidemic

    Loneliness. In Australia, it impacts one in four people. But since COVID, there’s been a lot more people across the country and the world feeling alone. Even though they might be connected to friends on group chat or living with their partners or families… that feeling? It’s still there. And it’s not often talked about. But that’s something that today’s guest is trying to change. Dr. Vivek Murthy served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States from 2014-2017. Essentially, he was America’s doctor. He dealt with the country’s most urgent public health issues. In 2017, he turned his attention to chronic stress and isolation, and earlier this year, he released a book called Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World, which is all about the silent epidemic of loneliness. On this episode of No Filter, Dr. Murthy and Mia discuss the three types of loneliness and the actions we can take to make sure we’re living a connected life.

    What Happened To Sophie Delezio

    In 2003, a two-year-old girl captured the hearts of Australians when she was involved in an accident at her NSW childcare centre. Her name was Sophie Delezio. A vehicle crashed into the centre and caught alight, trapping Sophie and burning 85% of her body. After that accident, she lost both her legs below the knee, her right hand and ear. Three years later, in May 2006, Sophie was hit by a car as her nanny pushed her wheelchair across the road. The car threw her 18 metres from her wheelchair and resulted in a broken jaw, broken ribs, fractured collarbone and a punctured lung as well as bleeding on her brain and a heart attack. But after all of that, she lived. Oh boy did she live. And this is her story. --- To find out more about Sophie's charity, Day of Difference, head to https://dayofdifference.org.au/.

    RBG, Hillary & Trump

    As if 2020 hasn't already been enough, over the weekend we learnt that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, feminist icon and Associate Justice of the American Supreme Court, had passed away. With the US election only 40 days away, stakes have never been higher. Curtis Sittenfeld is an American novelist best known for her fictional retellings of the lives of First Ladies such as Hillary Clinton in Rodham and Laura Bush in American Wife. She's also one of Mia Freedman's favourite authors, which is why Mia was so excited to sit down with Curtis to discuss what the heck is going on in America right now...
