  • ICYMI: We were obsessed with tradwives this year.

    From The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives, to Nara Smith and everything to do with Ballerina Farm, we couldn’t look away from the uprising of the modern tradwife.

    What we discovered though is it’s not all churning butter and dirty sodas; for some of these women the story they tell online isn’t always the same behind closed doors…Follow No Filter

  • We’ve all had that conversation. The one where you wax lyrical about how great it would be to buy a big house with your mates and live the good life.

    With the cost of living still in chaos and unpredictable interest rates, now more than ever people are seriously considering purchasing property with their friends.

    But what risks are involved with going in with the girls on a paradise pad?

  • “We can bury anyone: Inside a Hollywood smear machine”.

    That’s the New York Times headline that meant we had to bring you this episode of Mamamia Out Loud today. 

    Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni made headlines just a few months ago for their roles in one of the year’s most-watched films, It Ends With Us. But what was happening off-screen turned out to be an even bigger story.

    In this special episode, Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright unpack the facts behind Blake's legal complaint against her co-star and director Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and an orchestrated campaign to destroy her reputation.

    Plus, what this lawsuit means for Hollywood power dynamics, celebrity reputations, and the way narratives and the manipulation of public perception are shaped in the digital age.

  • End of year celebrations come with… lots. Lots of eating, lots of socialising, and lots of chances to drink alcohol.

    For a lot of us, social drinks to tie a ribbon around the end of the year is par for the course. But for some people end of year drinks can be a nightmare, a chance to slip into risk drinking behaviours. 

    Today we meet three women who actually gave up drinking, all in very different ways and learn what advice they have to share as we charge ahead through the festive period. 

    If you’re facing a sober Christmas and think you’ll be struggling, know you’re not alone. You can always reach out for help amongst your own community or speak with an expert. Contact Lifeline on 13 11 14, or visit Mind The Sip and Sober In The Country for more info.

  • When Louisa Hope walked into Sydney’s Lindt Cafe 5 years ago she didn't expect her life would change forever.

    Louisa is one of the Sydney Siege survivors. She and her mother were held at gunpoint and trapped for 17 hours before the gunman executed cafe manager Tori Johnston on his knees in front of her. Another hostage, Katrina Dawson was killed moments later in gunfire when police stormed the cafe.

    Louisa joins Mia Freedman to talk through what happened that day and how she feels five years on.

    Towards the end of the siege, Louisa was shot in the foot and went to The Prince of Wales Hospital where she spent 3 months as a patient.
