Marian Keyes, one of the most successful authors in the world, has forgotten how to read three times.
Once when she fell into a pit of depression that lasted four years and nearly cost her her marriage and her life. Once at the start of Covid. And last year, after her father died. 

Marian joins Mia Freedman to reveal how she got through it, as well as how she let go of bitterness and grief that came with not being able to have children with her husband.

And despite thinking alcohol was the love of her life she’s managed to stay sober for 30 years. Why does she still call herself an alcoholic? 

Marian's new book My Favourite Mistake is available here.

Marian's many other novels and her cook book are available on her website here.

Marian is on Instagram here.

What Happened When Marian Keyes Couldn’t Write

Subscribe to Mamamia

On September 10, 2023,  17-year-old Fletcher Crowley’s life changed in an instant when an ordinary day out with his mates went bad. In that moment, his whole family was impacted in ways they’re only just starting to understand. So six months later, how are they doing? Fletcher and his parents, Nicky and Pat join Mia Freedman to talk about that day and the unexpected aftermath.

You can help the Crowley family and many others by signing this petition to get PBS approval for a life-saving drug for those with the rare form of cancer called VHL like Levi.

Fletcher's foundation Get Silly is here, if you want to buy a jumper or shirt and support spinal cord research and rehab.

17-Year-Old Fletcher Crowley Became Paraplegic Six Months Ago

You can hear the second half of Mia's conversation with Tammy here.

Tammy Hembrow is rich, famous and entirely self-made. At just 29, she has two thriving businesses worth an estimated $50m, three kids, two ex fiancés, she’s getting married in a few months to a man she insists is the love of her life.

Yes, back in 2018 she had an unfortunate incident at Kylie Jenner’s 21st that was a low point in her life. It was made far worse by the fact it was captured by paparazzi whose photos went viral. 

But in a way, it was a good thing because it changed the direction of her career for the better.

Tammy joins Mia Freedman in the No Filter studio to talk about her big life and why she’s barely done any interviews until now.

Tammy's new book Show Up is available here.
