"I have a much more stronger sense of Lucy and I than I do more than me”

Gloria Steinem, one of the most recognisable voices of modern feminism, has died at 92. In tribute, we're re-sharing this 2016 conversation between Gloria and Mia Freedman, recorded during Gloria's visit to Australia.

Gloria talks openly about the illegal abortion she had in London in 1957, her decision not to have children, her marriage later in life to "the friend I married," and the mother whose own ambitions were given up for family. She reflects on ageing in public, the pressure on women to stay young, celebrity feminism, and her friendships with a younger generation of feminists including Lena Dunham.

It's a candid, wide-ranging conversation with a woman who shaped the modern women's movement — full of the warmth, wit and clarity she was known for.

Gloria Steinem Has Died. This Is The Conversation We Keep Coming Back To

Jessie Stephens, co-host of Mamamia Out Loud and bestselling author, sits down with Kate Langbroek for a completely candid conversation about the last six months of her life. Ten weeks early, on the day she finished up for maternity leave, Jessie gave birth to twins Margot and Harry, while at home raising her toddler daughter, Luna.

Jessie opens up about something she's never spoken about publicly before, a moment in NICU when she found herself in what she describes as "a really dark place." She also talks about growing up an identical twin, falling for her now husband Luca while they worked together, and building a marriage and family and a career when it's all intertwined.

Jessie will be back on Mamamia Out Loud in September.

"I Went to a Really Dark Place": Jessie Stephens on the Six Months Nobody Saw

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/fff0563a-a31b-4dba-9f68-b4b2004c1697/transcript

Most Australians met Sophie Delezio when she was two years old, after a car crashed into her childcare centre and left her fighting for her life. She survived — and then, extraordinarily, survived a second catastrophic accident just a few years later. She grew up in hospitals, in the headlines, and in the hearts of a country that has been quietly following her ever since.

But the woman sitting across from Kate today isn't the little girl from those front pages. She's 25, married to her childhood sweetheart, and a new mum working out — like every new mum — how to hold onto herself in the middle of it all.

Sophie and Kate talk about what actually happened the day of her first accident, and the impossible decision her parents faced over keeping her on life support. They talk about growing up with her disability treated as simply normal, and the moments at school where other people tried to decide what she could and couldn't do. Sophie shares what it was like moving to London at eighteen to study and live completely independently for the first time, and how a high school friendship with her now-husband Joseph blossomed years later into a marriage.

She opens up about giving birth to their son Frankie, and the particular fear a caesarean brought up for someone who has spent a lifetime in operating theatres. And she explains why she deleted social media completely for a year, what brought her back, and why her new podcast, Kids' Health Explained, made with the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, has become one of the most meaningful projects of her career.

Through all of it, Sophie is clear about one thing: she considers herself lucky, not unlucky, and wouldn't change a single part of her story.

Sophie's podcast, Kids' Health Explained, from the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, is out now wherever you get your podcasts.
