No Filter

This week on No Filter, we’re proud to welcome back Narelda Jacobs as our guest host. In October 2022, hundreds of people were gathering across the country to attend vigils for Cassius Turvey, the 15-year-old Noongar Yamatji boy who was tragically murdered last year. Along with Cassius’ mother, the woman who organised those vigils across the country was Megan Krakouer. Megan is the director of the National Suicide Prevention & Trauma Recovery Project. She is also the first person to answer the phone and show up in her community when a First Nations individual needs help or support, 24 hours a day. On this episode of No Filter, Megan and Narelda have a frank conversation about how Australia is experiencing another stolen generation. Please note that this conversation contains mentions of suicide. Please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 if you need support. THE END BITS: With thanks to Megan Krakouer.

Subscribe to Mamamia You might have heard the phrase ‘black out drunk’ before, which might evoke images of someone asleep or passed out. But that’s not what it is. Blacking out is when you’re conscious and walking around, but can’t remember anything afterwards. And that’s what has happened to journalist Sarah Hepola, dozens of times. Drinking became a normal part of her life, like a lot of people; a social lubricant, a way to meet new people, and a party starter. But as the nights got more and more hazy, she realised she needed to make a change... THE END BITS: With thanks to Sarah Hepola. Buy Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget Feedback?

You can watch Mia and Trinny's interview in full here. When Trinny Woodall stepped into the Mamamia office for this special live No Filter interview, the atmosphere was electric. Because Trinny has an energy about her that is exciting, unafraid, and very fun. She joined Mia on the show a few years ago to speak about her life and career up to that point, but this time delved into the nitty gritty of owning her incredibly successful lady start-up, Trinny London. They chat about what it’s like launching a beauty brand, how she manages her time and staff, and why her 50s were her most interesting decade yet.

Listen to the rest of Mia's conversation with Emma Carey here.  When Emma Carey was in Switzerland on a once in a lifetime holiday, she decided to go skydiving.

But Emma’s story is about so much more than this moment. And her insights on disability, dating, and why she doesn’t want to be called an inspiration, are riveting. This is Emma Carey’s story, the girl who fell from the sky. THE END BITS: With thanks to Emma Carey. Buy her book The Girl Who Fell From The Sky. Feedback? We’re listening!

She spent 804 days incarcerated in Tehran’s Evin and Qarchak prison for espionage, a crime she never committed. She was an innocent Australian stuck in a foreign prison...with no way of getting home.
