456 Club

Cath Mahoney is back in your ears with a very special episode from Mamamia Gen X podcast, Unleashed.

To all those in the 456 Club, you'll know that life in your 40s, 50s and 60s can bring some of our most complicated challenges, particularly when it comes to ageing parents and caring for the people we love.

In this three-part special, Unleashed co-host Dr Ginni Mansberg shares the deeply personal story of her mum Sylvia's decision to access voluntary assisted dying.

It's an intimate and honest conversation about family, love, anticipatory grief and the complexities of saying goodbye.

This is part one of a three-part series, beginning one month before Ginni’s mum’s death. Listen to part two and part three here.

Please take care while listening. This episode discusses voluntary assisted dying, death and grief. If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

In your ears today is Cath Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea and Ginni Mansberg

Welcome to the rogue, unfiltered and slightly unhinged podcast for Gen X women who need a laugh. Forget inspirational life coach energy. Forget toxic positivity. This is the show for the woman who is looking for an antidote to the bin-fire of right now.

From the brain of Mia Freedman comes a podcast that’s not inspirational in the slightest. You don’t need to learn anything or remember anything either. Just turn up.

Join your smartest, most brilliant friends; Sally Hepworth, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam, Cathrine Mahoney, and Dr Ginni Mansberg for a bit of distraction, some helpful things, and a lot of laughs.

In today's episode: Cath booked a wax...and it did not go to plan. Sally had a case of celebrity mistaken identity. Mary told a driver to get f**cked and it turned out to be her own mother, and Bruna accidentally did a little wee in a designer dress (and then had to buy it). And how was your first kiss? Because these women absolutely butchered theirs.

In your ears today: Sally Hepworth, Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea and Cath Mahoney

Welcome to a special episode from Mamamia's podcast for Gen X women, MID. 

This episode is all about all. Specifically, it’s about finding it in your MID years. Maybe for the second, fourth, first time.

This is a story about Dr Amantha Imber, an organisational psychologist who got divorced a few years ago. When Amantha knew she wanted to re-partner, she went about it with a typical approach to efficiency - going on more than 50 first dates in her first stint of online dating.

Those dates had strict rules and boundaries, time limits and schedules and… they didn’t work. So then, Amantha drew up a brief and cold-called a long list of people in her circle who might know the person she was looking for…. But… well, that didn’t work either.

You can learn more about Amantha and follow her work here.

You can purchase Amantha's book The Health Habit here.

You can also listen to her podcast, How I Work, here.

THE END BITS: 

You can listen to our second ever episode was called the Mid Life Dating Pool Has Wee In it, and it was about Catherine Mahoney’s chaotic app-dating world and it was very very funny here.

You can listen to our episode with Divorce & Separation coach, Nikki Parkinson, here.
