Anne Tonner didn’t know much about eating disorders. As a human rights lawyer and mother of four, she knew they existed but she didn’t know how they could take someone to the brink of self-destruction and sometimes beyond. But then one day her 13-year-old daughter Chloe told her she wouldn’t drink water because she thought it would make her fat and suddenly she was faced with a frightening reality. Anne has written a book about that time, called Cold Vein, in the hopes she can educate people about what anorexia is really like.

When Your Child Has Anorexia. A Mother's Survival Story

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.

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.

The Business Of Tammy Hembrow’s Body

Subscribe to Mamamia

James Foley’s death was unimaginable. He was a journalist held hostage by ISIS for two years in Syria and killed in 2014 as a threat to America. Footage of him wearing an orange jumpsuit, forcibly reading a message before being beheaded was posted to Twitter. The media coverage of the event had the second most recognition in recent American history after 9/11.

His mother Diane Foley’s determination to understand her son’s fate led her to meeting with one of the men responsible.

This episode is about the profound impact of James’ life, he saw light in everything and everyone. His mother has been through the complexities of grace and empathy in the face of an unthinkable loss.

American Mother by Colum McCan with Diane Foley is available here. 

Watch the documentary Jim: The James Foley Story on Amazon Prime or Apple TV. 

You can donate to the James Foley Legacy Foundation here.
