How Often Do You Water To Your Friendship Garden?

This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter. 

In this episode of MID - we're talking Protein, weights, sleep, oh my.

Does it feel like you hit a certain birthday with a zero and everyone started yelling at you about chicken breast and dumbbells?

Louisa Nicola, is an Australian neurophysiologist and human performance coach based in the US - and she joins us to talk about what's important in the space of midlife health, and what's just noise.

And what she tells us about the three things to prioritise to live better longer is a surprise. Seriously. Important note: The information discussed in this episode is not intended to replace professional medical advice. Supplement availability, safety, and regulation vary between countries, including Australia. Always seek guidance from your GP or pharmacist, and ensure any therapeutic goods are listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).

SUMMER LISTENING: Eat More. Sleep Colder. Lift Heavier.

This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter. 

Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill had the kind of jobs most people only dream about. They were the women behind some of the world’s most glamorous magazines — InStyle, Harper’s Bazaar, WSJ. Magazine — sitting front row at fashion week, rubbing shoulders with celebs on covershoots, and setting the cultural agenda.

But then, both of them got fired.

In an industry built on power, prestige, and appearances, being shown the door at the very top should have been devastating. Instead, it sparked a friendship, a book, and a movement. Their manifesto All the Cool Girls Get Fired is about stripping away the shame of job loss and reframing it as a rite of passage.

In this No Filter conversation with Kate Langbroek, Laura and Kristina open up about what it’s really like to lose your dream job, the night out that led to their viral “all the cool girls get fired” post, and how even icons like Oprah and Lisa Kudrow have their own firing stories.

It’s about friendship, resilience, and reinvention — and why getting fired might just be the best thing that ever happens to you.

SUMMER LISTENING: Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill Had the Coolest Jobs in Magazines - Then They Got Fired

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/af525fd5-f4b0-42ad-b138-b3a100607fa1/transcript

This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter. 

In this episode of MID we're talking to Ione Skye.

In the 80s & 90s - they didn’t come any cooler than Ione. 

You remember her from Say Anything, the iconic 80s teen movie, or from River’s Edge or Gas Food Lodging or The Rachel Papers…But while Ione was busy making some of the most era-defining films, she was also living the most aspirational 90’s life imaginable - Teenage friends with River Phoenix, teenage girlfriend to The Red Hot Chilli Peppers Anthony Keidis. Young wife of Beastie Boy Adam 'Ad Rock' Horowitz. Welcomed into Madonna’s circle, until she started dating all her female exes. Now, she’s been married to Australian musician Ben Lee for well over a decade, and lives in Sydney.

But Ione isn’t defined by the men she’s married or the women she’s loved - she’s the main character of her own wild, beautiful, fearless story - and she’s written it all down in her book, Say Everything - which is a glorious, pent-up outpouring of story and gossip and validation of girlhood and womanhood and romance and sexuality and what was like to come of age in - literally - a different time.

You can find Ione’s book here: https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9780008661120/say-everything-a-memoir/

And follow her on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/ioneskyelee/
