What Happened To Sophie Delezio [re-release]

In this conversation from the archives we go back to 2003, when a two-year-old girl captured the hearts of Australians after she was involved in an accident at her NSW childcare centre. Her name was Sophie Delezio. A vehicle crashed into the centre and caught alight, trapping Sophie and burning 85% of her body. After that accident, she lost both her legs below the knee, her right hand and ear. Three years later, in May 2006, Sophie was hit by a car as her nanny pushed her wheelchair across the road. The car threw her 18 metres from her wheelchair and resulted in a broken jaw, broken ribs, fractured collarbone and a punctured lung as well as bleeding on her brain and a heart attack. But after all of that, she lived. Oh boy did she live. And this is her story. --- To find out more about Sophie's charity, Day of Difference, head to https://dayofdifference.org.au/.

What Is ‘Grey Area Drinking’... And Are You Doing It?

Happy New Year - No Filter listeners - how are you going so far in 2025? Did you survive the silly season? Did you make any “new year, new me” resolutions? Maybe you’re one of the many people who chose to get through the holidays sober…or maybe you enjoyed some Christmas tipple but now you’re feeling sober-curious. Wherever you might be on the mocktail to cocktail spectrum - this conversation is for you because our guest, author and health & wellbeing coach, Sarah Rusbatch, has lived it all. She has written a book called Beyond Booze, How to Create A Life You Love Alcohol Free’ - Sarah lived through what she describes as her own “dysfunctional relationship with alcohol” but - as you’ll hear - she’s not at all preachy, she just happens to know a lot about how hard it can be to be sober, but how good it can be on the other side. You can follow Sarah on Instagram here. And to join Sarah’s free Facebook community please click here. The Facebook community encourages women who want support, a safe space where women are talking about booze and sobriety and how to step into their best lives. Everything you need to know about Sarah’s book and work is here. THE END BITS: Listen to more No Filter interviews here and follow us on Instagram here. Discover more Mamamia podcasts here.

I thoroughly enjoy this podcast for the variety of interviewees. Mia has a wonderful interview style which seems to place her guests at ease and really relax into the chat. I normally only listen to podcast interviews if I am aware of who the guest is, not in this case! I will happily listen to the latest episode knowing I will learn something and expand my world view! Thanks Mia for all that you do, really awesome work!
