How Often Do You Water To Your Friendship Garden?

Cath Mahoney is back in your ears with a very special episode from Mamamia Gen X podcast, Unleashed.

To all those in the 456 Club, you'll know that life in your 40s, 50s and 60s can bring some of our most complicated challenges, particularly when it comes to ageing parents and caring for the people we love.

In this three-part special, Unleashed co-host Dr Ginni Mansberg shares the deeply personal story of her mum Sylvia's decision to access voluntary assisted dying.

It's an intimate and honest conversation about family, love, anticipatory grief and the complexities of saying goodbye.

This is part one of a three-part series, beginning one month before Ginni’s mum’s death. Listen to part two and part three here.

Please take care while listening. This episode discusses voluntary assisted dying, death and grief. If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

In your ears today is Cath Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea and Ginni Mansberg

I Know The Day My Mum Is Going To Die: Dr Ginni's Story Part 1

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/48a32a7b-3692-4a2c-97ed-b4ce000ef624/transcript

Welcome to the rogue, unfiltered and slightly unhinged podcast for Gen X women who need a laugh. Forget inspirational life coach energy. Forget toxic positivity. This is the show for the woman who is looking for an antidote to the bin-fire of right now.

From the brain of Mia Freedman comes a podcast that’s not inspirational in the slightest. You don’t need to learn anything or remember anything either. Just turn up.

Join your smartest, most brilliant friends; Sally Hepworth, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam, Cathrine Mahoney, and Dr Ginni Mansberg for a bit of distraction, some helpful things, and a lot of laughs.

In today's episode: Cath booked a wax...and it did not go to plan. Sally had a case of celebrity mistaken identity. Mary told a driver to get f**cked and it turned out to be her own mother, and Bruna accidentally did a little wee in a designer dress (and then had to buy it). And how was your first kiss? Because these women absolutely butchered theirs.
