To kick off Season 3 of MID we are bringing you a conversation that Holly says kind of changed her life. We think it will change yours, too.

Inspired by her book - and it’s really a very good book - We Are The Stars - we talk about all that loss, all those different seasons of life she’s lived through, from being a wild young girl with a baby bird in her pocket, mercilessly bullied at school, to being a starry-eyed raver at the peak of Sydney’s club scene, to being a survivalist who falls in love with a man from somewhere else, gets diagnosed with cancer at the very moment she’s about to become a mother, has three precious years with her baby girl before that sickness comes for her, too. And the woman who chose, in the aftermath of unimaginable loss, to change again, to live. And live big.

Gina Chick really does know how to look change right in the eye.

Looking Change Right In the Eye

It's the last conversation of MID, Season Two, with our guest Alison Brahe Daddo.

Ali was THE Australian model of the late 80s, on every magazine cover and on many a teenage girl’s wall. She had a huge career here and overseas, and then she married the equally famous and swoon-worthy Cameron Daddo, backed right away from the industry, settled in LA and raised a family. Now, as Alison Brahe Daddo, or Ali, as very many of us know her, she’s also become just the most honest, interesting voice about midlife and menopause and all the messy challenges it brings us.

But in this episode, we’re not actually talking about that. We’re getting deep about surface stuff. Beauty, whatever it means to us - and let’s be honest, there’s a sliding scale of how much any of us can ever claim to have felt beautiful, at any age - is a beast in midlife. Because how we wear our age on our face and our bodies can feel so important, so crucial to how the outside world sees us, even as we know it’s really the silliest of all our concerns. It often doesn’t feel that way.

Listen to Holly and Ali discuss how they’re feeling, what they’re doing about, and where they stand on the mistakes they’ve made in thinking and talking about our faces and our bodies as we move on through.

Welcome to Mid, Season 2, Episode 8. Beauty, with Ali Daddo.

But What Have You Done To Your Face

You've heard about the incredible invisible women of MID. One minute we're there, the next we're unseen by the naked eye, our voices only audible to dogs. Well, what if there was a way to reappear? Jane Tara is a writer whose brilliant novel Tilda Is Visible follows a woman who - literally - begins to disappear, and how she brings herself back into view. Not just the world's, but crucially, her own.

When it comes to disappearing, Jane’s lived it. In the year she turned 50, life was hammering her - she'd been hospitalised with a significant health issue, lost her business and been dumped via text by her partner of a decade. So how did she bring herself back to life, and back into view? That's the subject of this conversation, between Jane and host Holly Wainwright.

Welcome to MID, Season Two, Episode Six: Invisibility.
