Horny Midlife Women & The Sexiest Man Alive

EXTRA: Mia Interviews Jackie O About The Addiction That Almost Ended Her

Jackie O was deep into a years-long addiction to pills and alcohol until one phone call changed her life. There’s a reason Jackie O kept her addiction to pain medication and alcohol a secret for so long: shame. But now, she wants to share her story of recovery and healing with the world and to help other people get the help they need - and so she’s sharing the hard truths of the years she spent struggling. Jackie and her best friend Gemma sit down for a searingly honest conversation with Mia Freedman about how Jackie found herself at her low point and finally had to admit her addiction to Gemma - and how Gemma got Jackie to rehab without the press finding out. This is a story about addiction and recovery, but it’s also a story of the life-saving quality of friendship. You can hear part two of Mia's conversation here.  Jackie is donating the proceeds from the sale of her memoir to Odyssey House - you can learn more about them here. You can find Jackie O’s memoir, The Whole Truth, here. You can learn more about Besties - Jackie & Gemma’s project - here. And if this episode triggered anything for you and you need someone to talk to, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14.  THE END BITS: Join the Month of MOVEGet $30 off a Mamamia subscription and get unlimited access to our feel-good exercise app. Head here to get a yearly subscription for just $39.

Kate Middleton's Face & Martha Stewart's Fortune

From Mia: Why Africa Brooke Left The Cult Of Wokeness

The Jackie O Story We All Got Wrong

Subscribe to Mamamia One of the most successful women in Australian media has surprised everyone by opening up about her serious addiction issues and a stint in rehab. And it reminds us of something we repeatedly choose to forget. We discuss Jackie O's viral and very vulnerable moment as the star confirms that proceeds from her memoir The Whole Truth will be donated to addiction treatment centre Odyssey House.  Plus, you’ve probably seen the clip of the Irish movie star Saoirse Ronan sitting on The Graham Norton Show couch, shutting everyone up with a truth bomb that resonated with women everywhere. But what wasn’t said?  And, screw getting a mentor, don’t dream big and really, really don’t trust your gut. The best career advice that’s exactly the opposite of all the stuff you’ve ever been told.            What To Listen To Next:  Listen to our latest episode: The Friends Who Don’t Make The Grid Listen: Polls, Vibes & Trump's Work Experience Day Listen: Raygun And Some Very Big Feelings Listen to No Filter: Jackie O On What She Wishes She'd Known About Divorce Listen to True Crime Conversations  Connect your subscription to Apple Podcasts  Sign up to the Mamamia Out Loud Newsletter for all our recommendations and behind-the-scenes content in one place.  Join the Month of MOVE Get $30 off a Mamamia subscription and get unlimited access to our feel-good exercise app. Head here to get a yearly subscription for just $39.  What to Read:  Read: With just 10 words, Saoirse Ronan silenced all the men on The Graham Norton Show.

From Mia: The Trad Wife Life Of Ballerina Farm’s Hannah Neeleman

Outlouders, Mia has a little treat for you today about one of our Roman Empires... Trad Wives.  Trad Wives like Hannah Neeleman and her Ballerina Farm empire have captured our imagination - and divided our opinions. They're an Instagram phenomenon using highly-produced content to promote traditional family values - specifically, the idea that women would be happier if they stayed home and served their husbands and children, trading in a life of career-focused grind for a life of content domesticity - and nobody sells this idea better than Hannah. Megan Agnew is a journalist for UK newspaper The Times. She managed to spend a day with Hannah, her husband Daniel and their eight children on the notoriously hard-to-penetrate Ballerina Farm. Megan saw behind the scenes but what she witnessed is very different to what we see on Instagram. Her article went viral and sparked a million think pieces and spurred some very strong reactions… including from the Neelemans themselves. So, what is behind the Trad Wife movement? Is it just harmless entrepreneurship, or is there a darker, more serious ideology beneath the surface? You can follow Megan Agnew here. You can listen to our episode with Tia Levings who barely escaped her Trad Wife life, here.

Follow up to Clare's problem with her delivery... I've been a postie for 14 years, so hopefully I can sooth your delivery distress. For access to your blanket after work hours, you can apply for the delivery to be made to Australia Post parcel lockers. They're usually located at shopping centres. You're allocated a code, you punch it in, and one of the lockers will open and behold your beloved blanket. I really love Mammia Outloud and everyone's varied options and experiences. I especially love Clare's insite and passions, and humour. Please never stop podcasting x I'm enjoying this parasocial relationship 🥰 #MammaMiaOutloud #AustraliaPost #parasocialrelationship

hard to listen to them talking about the NSW Birth Trauma enquiry when they don't know much about it, and actually their words are a bit harmful.
