Learning that her spouse was transgender was just the beginning of a journey that included difficult conversations with family, being outed by the tabloid press at Prince William's wedding and ultimately strengthening their bond and cementing their commitment to one another.

Wren and Ayla's Story: When Your Wife Is Trans

The last few years of Abi Morgan’s life would make an incredible TV show, although you might not believe it because of the plot twists. One of those twists is that Abi herself is an Emmy-award-winning screenwriter of movies like Iron Lady, with Meryl Streep, and TV dramas like The Split.

But nothing could have prepared her for the cascading series of events that began on a very ordinary day. The crescendo of this story is that, after waking up from a coma, Abi's partner of 20 years didn't recognise her. And only her...

Listen to the second half of Mia's conversation with Abi here.

When Louisa Hope walked into Sydney’s Lindt Cafe 10 years ago she didn't expect her life would change forever.

Louisa is one of the survivors of the Sydney Siege. She and her mother were held at gunpoint and trapped for 17 hours before the gunman executed cafe manager Tori Johnston on his knees in front of her. Another hostage, Katrina Dawson was killed moments later in gunfire when police stormed the cafe.

Louisa joined Mia Freedman for a conversation in 2019 to talk through what happened that day and how she felt five years on.

The Lindt Cafe Siege: Louisa Hope's Survival Story [re-release]

Have you ever been love-bombed by a romantic partner only to have them go cold as soon as they’ve snagged you?

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who made you feel crazy because of their ability to seem SO great in front of the neighbours but be SO different behind closed doors?

What about a boss who steals your ideas, your thunder and your inspiration…Or a parent who always made your life about them? According to our guest today, chances are you’ve been tussling with a Narcissist.

Narcissism is a word that has well and truly entered the zeitgeist but how well do we really understand it? What are the red flags? What do we DO if we realise we’re in a relationship with one?

Margi Bowden is a counsellor and coach and, importantly, a Narcissism expert and she has ALL the answers for you.
