  • It's Your Clothes Though
    Do you need a fashion overhaul? Some grown-up clothes. Grown-up attitude. Grown-up advice? Holly Wainwright did, and she knew exactly who to call for a gentle roasting and some no-bullshit advice: Grace Lam. You might remember Grace because she’s our first-ever repeat guest on MID. The fashion stylist, former Senior Fashion Editor of VOGUE China for a decade, was on MID Season Two talking about hormones, because as well as being a style guru, she’s an incredible advocate for women going through Peri and menopause. And if you heard that episode, you know she’s sweary, forthright and funny as hell. Grace has recently relocated from Perth to Melbourne to continue her bespoke styling & shopping consultancy, and so we thought it might be the moment to call her up for some no bullshit advice for all of us: about grown-up style, shopping and spending and definitely, definitely NOT “dressing your age”. Enjoy this conversation with the exceptionally stylish Grace Lam about clothes, fashion, fun, and not giving an F about what you SHOULD wear. Want to see the pics of Holly that Grace critiqued?

  • Sex, Drugs & Radical Honesty: Confessions Of An Iconic 90s Cool Girl
    In the 80s & 90s - they didn’t come any cooler than Ione Skye. You remember her from Say Anything, the iconic 80s teen movie, or from River’s Edge or Gas Food Lodging or The Rachel Papers…But while Ione was busy making some of the most era-defining films, she was also living the most aspirational 90’s life imaginable - Teenage friends with River Phoenix, teenage girlfriend to The Red Hot Chilli Peppers Anthony Keidis. Young wife of Beastie Boy Adam 'Ad Rock' Horowitz. Welcomed into Madonna’s circle, until she started dating all her female exes. Now, she’s been married to Australian musician Ben Lee for well over a decade, and lives in Sydney. But Ione isn’t defined by the men she’s married or the women she’s loved - she’s the main character of her own wild, beautiful, fearless story - and she’s written it all down in her book, Say Everything - which is a glorious, pent-up outpouring of story and gossip and validation of girlhood and womanhood and romance and sexuality and what was like to come of age in - literally - a different time. You can find Ione’s book here: https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9780008661120/say-everything-a-memoir/ And follow her on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/ioneskyelee/ CREDITS: Host: Holly Wainwright Guest: Ione Skye Executive Producer: Naima Brown Senior Producer: Grace Rouvray Producer: Tahli Blackman Audio Producer: Jacob Round Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

  • What Did You Pay For Your Face
    From Foundation to Filler, Leigh Campbell on beauty "hell yesses" and "f*ck no's". Whether you have a 12-step skincare routine and a "derm" on speed-dial, or whether you still use the same one pot of moisturiser you’ve used since you were 20, chances are, your face has changed. And however you feel about that, the beauty world, and its messages around ageing are confusing. Enter, our no-BS beauty guru, Leigh Campbell, to tell us what works and what's nonsense when it comes to our faces. A Beauty Editor, Beauty Director and Lifestyle Director in magazines and online publications for decades, Leigh is now the host of Mamamia's You Beauty and Nothing To Wear. And even more than that, she’s a guru who now has her own brand, Brillo Beauty. In this conversation, Leigh, yes/no's, what works and what matters when it comes to our faces. AND she gets honest about all the wild things she has tried, and still tries, for her own face.

  • Melinda Gates’ Divorce Started With A Whisper
    Melinda French Gates knows everyone wants to talk about her divorce. She gets it, and she's covered it her new book, Next Day, about handling life's transitions. But also, what she wants to talk about is change. How we pick ourselves up after those big moments that knock us off course, whether it's the end of a relationship, losing a job, becoming a parent, kids leaving home, losing someone or a a big career shift. Transitions, she knows, are moments of both struggle and opportunity. French-Gates is the computer scientist, philanthropist and advocate who, along with her former husband, Bill Gates, founded the Gates Foundation, raising and donating billions of dollars to improve health outcomes for some of the most vulnerable communities in the world. After her separation, French-Gates established her own philanthropic organisation, Pivotal, to advance issues that affect women and girls. In this episode of MID she talks about how to tap into that inner whisper that becomes a roar, what her life looks like post-divorce and what she wants everyone to know about moving on 'The Next Day'. You can buy Melinda French Gates' book here.

  • EXTRA: But Could You Really Move To A Farm?
    Rachel Ward always sensed she would need to find her purpose outside of acting - for reasons she will explain in this conversation. But she never would have guessed that she’d find that purpose on a working cattle farm in rural Australia… At MID, we like to call this time in our life the “third age” - it’s that post-work era where we’re redefining the shape of our days, our contributions, our passions and our purpose. And Rachel Ward has a LOT to say about this. Rachel Ward is an iconic Australian actress who met Brian Brown on the set of the The Thorn Birds in 1982 and followed him to Australia, where they have lived together ever since, raising a family and working. More recently Rachel has directed films like Beautiful Kate and Palm Beach, and now, a documentary about her rural pivot. As you’ll hear, in her third act Rachel Ward has became a farmer at 60. And not a hobby farmer, but a farmer-farmer - the real deal, inspecting her soil for dung beetles and worms. You can follow Rachel Ward here. And you can find out more about her documentary, Rachel’s Farm, here. THE END BITS: Share your feedback!
