456 Club Mamamia

Introducing our brand new podcast MID, the grown-up conversations women deserve.

This season brings you compelling conversations full of fun, frank wisdom from an impressive line up of well loved names, in the second act of life who share it all.

MID goes deep on self-care with zero shame and rich experiences you can cherry-pick for wisdom to share, changes to make and attitude we can borrow.

This episode we're speaking to a familiar voice for 456 Club listeners Cathrine Mahoney all about mid life dating. 

She's been post-divorce dating for almost a decade and has the stories to match. Like the time the man she'd been walking past at the park for months finally matched with her on Bumble, the time the guy asked if he could bring his "bull", and what happened when she slid into celebrity dating app Raya and everyone was famous.

If you're dating, thinking about dating or just keen to peer into the world of your single friends...

This is MID, and if you want more - click here.

This week on the 456 Club we are talking about the complexities of parenting children who aren’t children.

How do you maintain healthy boundaries? Can you be friends with your kid? And what do you do when you profoundly disagree with choices your adult child is making?

This episode we speak with Mia Freedman, about her relationship with her adult son, becoming a grandmother, and what the experience is like transitioning from ‘ your child’s manager to their consultant’.

Plus, we’re joined by Family Clinical Psychologist Jo Lamble to help us navigate ways forward when things don’t go as planned.

SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR GUESTS: Mia Freedman, co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of MamamiaJo Lamble, clinical family psychologist and co-host of Help I Have A Teenager.
