No Filter Mamamia

You can hear the second half of Mia's conversation with Patric here. Subscribe to MamamiaPatric Gagne is not what most people picture when they hear the word ‘sociopath’. For example, she’s married and has two children. She’s a functioning member of society. She has friends.

Sociopaths tend to lie, break laws, act impulsively and they have little regard for their own safety because they simply don’t have fear or guilt. All these things are true for Patric.

In this conversation Patric talks to Mia Freedman about the emotions she doesn't feel, the signs that popped up when she was a child and what it's like being friends with a sociopath.

It’s believed just under 5% of the population are sociopaths, that’s one in 25 people. That’s why Patric wrote her memoir Sociopaths, to share what it’s really like.Patric's book Sociopaths is available here

Sociopaths aren’t associated with ordinary everyday activities of life like dating, marriage and parenting. Movies and TV shows depict them as loners or those who can’t form emotional attachments. That’s not quite right.

In part two of Mia Freedman’s interview with Patric Gagne, she's opened up about relationships as a sociopath and the times people have tried to bring out her dark side.

Subscribe to MamamiaIn the second episode of our 3-part No FIlter mini-series featuring interviews with Olympians before they head to Paris to compete, Matilda's star Katrina Gorry opens up to guest host Libby Trickett in a way that takes them both by surprise.

Gorry captured our hearts at the Women’s World Cup in 2023- as did her two-year-old daughter Harper. Coming back to work after having a baby is difficult for any parent, particularly when your job involves playing for your country. Still, Katrina had the highest number of tackles of any player and covered the most ground. Now Katrina and her partner Clara Markstedt are expecting another baby, just in time for the Paris Olympics.

Subscribe to MamamiaThe first time Keri Kitay’s mother Terry forgot where she parked her car, she was surprised and annoyed. But she wasn’t alarmed. It wasn’t until years later that she would realise it was one of the first signs of early onset Alzheimers which would slowly dismantle her mother’s life.There are around 15 Australians per 1,000 living with dementia and a tiny percentage of those are relatively young.

This is the story of one person and the way her family said their long goodbye.Keri's book The Long Goodbye is available here.
