Who would try to hire a hitman to kill an innocent young girl? In early 2021, Riley ended a relationship with a man she had been in a year-long online relationship with after she alleges he assaulted her. Despite the breakup, he continued to message her relentlessly. Instead of backing down, Scott escalated his feelings of anger, turning to the dark web. He paid $19,000 AUD to hire a hitman to kill her. The reality of the plot became clear when police knocked on the door of Riley’s family home. It was her mother, Jamie Elder, who answered, learning that someone had tried to arrange her daughter’s murder. Jamie is now Riley’s advocate, fighting for justice while the man accused of orchestrating the hit walks free. You can follow Jamie on TikTok and support her advocacy here.

New year, new trends? It's New Years Eve and Lucinda and Chelsea are crystal ball-gazing into 2026 to predict the biggest fashion moments about to take over your wardrobe. We’re breaking down the return of "ugly" fashion (hello, mismatched prints and dad sneakers), why Gen Z is officially cancelling matching activewear sets, and the unexpected "funnel neck" silhouette that’s about to replace your blazer. Chelsea makes the case for the controversial return of fringe (yes, really) and Lucinda explains why "accessory addiction" is the new quiet luxury. Plus, we're getting into which trends have graduated from "emerging" to "commercial" – meaning they are actually worth your hard-earned cash.

What happens when you decide to take the leap with a dream you’ve been sitting on for years? For Lyndi Cohen, that dream meant pivoting into an industry she knew nothing about, long after she’d built her own successful empire. Lyndi’s first journey began after a decade-long battle with binge eating, leading her to build an anti-diet media brand from the ground up. She shortly evolved into who we now know as ‘The Nude Nutritionist’, becoming a renowned TV expert, author and app founder, helping thousands heal their relationships with food and body image. But one niggling idea wouldn’t go away...And now, Lyndi is making her most dramatic pivot of all. Leaping from the world of nutrition and landing herself straight into her very own fashion debut: launching a swimwear brand, Fearless. In this episode of Pivot Club, Sarah Davidson speaks with Lyndi about this massive industry leap. They unpack the "messy middle" of her entire career: graduating with no job prospects and using "SEO hacks to manifest a media career", to the $180,000 investment that was required to build a swimwear line from scratch. Lyndi shares her core belief that "the key to success is embarrassment" and why it's been essential for this new fashion venture. Join us for a raw and practical lesson in constant evolution, a deep dive into the strategy of scaling an idea and a powerful reminder that all the dots (even a high school fashion class) eventually connect, proving that you have to "do it terrified”.

Why are women less likely to receive CPR than men? Is your drinking a problem? And why can you sometimes feel which ovary you’re ovulating from? We've returned to usual programming and are bringing you fresh content to kick-start your new year.In this episode, Dr Mariam and Claire speak to Professor Kate Conigrave, an Addiction Medicine Specialist and Public Health Physician, to unpack the reality of Australia’s relationship with alcohol. They discuss how to identify if you have an alcohol dependency, the link between mental health and drinking, and the physical impact alcohol has on the brain and body. Plus, we look at the gender gap in cardiac arrest survival rates. We explain why bystanders are hesitant to perform CPR on women, the fear of "inappropriate touching" and why training mannequins need an update. And, in the quick consult, we drop into the Doctor's Office to answer Nadia’s question about why her ovaries feel like they are "kicking her in the guts". We explain 'Mittelschmerz' (ovulation pain), why it happens and when pain levels signal a need for further investigation into conditions like endometriosis.

From "clean beauty" fairy tales experts wish you’d forget to the marketing myths clogging your feed, today’s guest is stripping away the bullshit to reveal the cold, hard science of skin. On this week's episode of The Formula, content creator and evidence-based advocate Sam [By The Counter] breaks down why reading an ingredient list is like trying to guess a cake recipe without the measurements, the truth about who actually pays for "cruelty-free" research, and why your favourite luxury products might actually be worth the splurge. Plus, Sam explains why fragrance isn't the enemy, the "moral superiority" trap in sustainable packaging, and the indie products he swears by for a perfect barrier.

What happens when your entire identity is built on being the best in the world? For Jana Pittman, one of Australia's most famous athletes, the singular goal of Olympic gold was repeatedly torn away by devastating injuries and gut-wrenching losses. You might think her biggest pivot was swapping the running track for the bobsled, becoming one of the very few athletes in history to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. But that wasn't it. Her real pivot was walking away entirely from being an elite athlete to become a doctor - all while raising six children. In this episode of Pivot Club, Sarah Davidson speaks with Jana about this massive career change. They unpack how you cope with failure when your mindset is "silver is the first loser", and how you go from being one of the best in the world to a complete beginner back at the bottom of the ladder, surrounded by people half your age. Jana shares the unfiltered story about how this profound pivot emerged from a period of intense personal and professional struggle - through divorce, miscarriages, failed exams and the financial lows of moving back into her own garage to make ends meet. Join us for a raw lesson in resilience, a look into the unseen "messy middle," and a powerful reminder that your lowest moments can be the fuel for your greatest chapter yet.

In a world of New Year, New Me promises, Celeste Barber has built a career on doing the opposite. She keeps it real—big knickers, unflattering angles, and a refusal to pretend life is anything other than messy. Celeste built a global following by parodying celebrity perfection and making millions of people laugh on Instagram. But in this episode of No Filter, she steps away from the selfies and punchlines to talk about the parts of her life the internet rarely sees. In this candid conversation with Kate Langbroek, Celeste opens up about the chaos of her childhood, her ADHD diagnosis, the burnout that nearly broke her, and the pressure of being the internet’s favourite funny woman. She talks honestly about her marriage to ‘Hot Husband’ Api, what it’s like raising kids under public scrutiny, and the work she’s done to decide which parts of her life stay private. She reflects on what fame has given her, what it’s taken, and why resisting the urge to constantly “fix” herself has become an act of self-preservation. Yes, she’s hilarious. But she’s also thoughtful, vulnerable, and still figuring it out—one small, imperfect win at a time. This is the real Celeste Barber, beyond the selfies, the knickers, and the punchlines.

On September 7, 1971, at a remote farmhouse 40 kilometres south of Adelaide, Clifford Bartholomew killed 10 people. His wife, his seven children, his sister-in-law and her 19-month-old son. He shot them all dead. He was sentenced to death, but because of changes to the law, he wasn’t killed. Instead, he was re-sentenced to life in prison and managed to serve just eight years before being released on parole. He changed his name, his identity and created an entirely new family who knew nothing about his previous life or his crimes… until now.

On a summer evening in January 1983, 10-year-old Louise Bell went missing from her bedroom in Adelaide's Hackham West. It was a case that horrified Australia, as every parent's worst nightmare became reality for the Bell family. How could a young girl tucked up in her bed in a safe, suburban neighbourhood just go missing in the middle of the night? It would take 30 years, and advances in DNA technology, to find out who was responsible for the disappearance of Louise Bell. Supporting audio supplied by ABC South Australia.

It started with clumsiness at high jump. Then, midway through Year 12, Deanna Renee woke up partially blind in one eye. At just 17, she was diagnosed with *Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Her classmates shunned her, convinced MS was a contagious STI. The internet told her she’d be in a wheelchair by 25. Today, she is a viral content creator, proving them all wrong. In this raw and often hilarious episode of the Well Summer Series, Claire Murphy sits down with Deanna to discuss the reality of growing up with a chronic neurological condition. They cover the isolation of high school, the darkness of her early 20s and the "bohemian doctor" who finally gave her hope. Deanna also opens up about the unique challenges of living with an invisible disability - from being "uninvited" to Schoolies to battling "Karens" in car parks who don't believe she's sick enough to park in disabled spots. Plus, we learn how she turned her MRI scans into art and became a viral advocate on TikTok. Get ready to have your perceptions challenged by a woman who refuses to let a diagnosis define her future. *MS is the most common acquired chronic neurological disease affecting young adults, often diagnosed between the ages of 20 to 40 and, in Australia, affects three times more women than men. As yet, there is no cure. There is no known single cause of MS, but many genetic and environmental factors have been shown to contribute to its development. In MS, the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the fatty material – called myelin – around the nerves. This results in a range of symptoms, but no two people experience MS in the same way.**Content Warning: This episode discusses suicide and mental health struggles.

Could you go an entire year without buying a single piece of clothing, shoes, or accessories? For radio host Jess Farchione, the answer was yes – but it all started with a $550 dress she bought on impulse and then regretted. After realising her spending habits were driven by boredom and dopamine hits rather than genuine need, Jess embarked on a strict "No Spend" challenge for all of 2025. In today's episode Leigh is finding out how that really went for her.

Welcome to another episode of your Well Summer Series! We know that "relaxing" over the holidays is not always the reality, and that your calendar is probably bursting at the seams. So, we've condensed the show into bite-sized episodes - perfect for a quick drive to the shops or a 20-minute breather from the chaos. In this episode, Claire Murphy and Dr Mariam are back at Med School to investigate why one drink may sometimes send you over the edge while other times you can drink all night without feeling it. (Hint, it could be to do with where you are in your cycle...) And in the Quick Consult, Mariam answers a listener's question about a rarely discussed issue: The "never-ending" wipe and suggests simple bowel habits to fix this. If you find yourself wiping a dozen times or discovering "skid marks" later in the day, this episode is for you!

In 1992, career criminal Peter Gibb met prison guard Heather Parker while serving a 12-year sentence at the Melbourne Remand Centre. Heather claimed she didn’t notice Peter at first, but she quickly became smitten, and their relationship developed from flirtatious to physical. When their affair was exposed, Heather was immediately transferred, with communication between the two forbidden. But they couldn’t be stopped, and with the help of another inmate acting as their middleman, the pair hatched a plan to break Peter out of prison. Their escape sparked one of Australia's largest criminal pursuits and saw Heather and Peter dubbed Australia’s Bonnie and Clyde.

Sometimes, a pivot isn’t triggered by a failure.Sometimes, it happens because you keep looking for a way to make the world a little bit fairer. Anne Aly was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and moved to Australia when she was just two years old. Her parents worked hard in factory jobs to give their family a foothold here - and those early experiences of displacement, resilience and possibility stayed with her. By her late twenties, Anne was a single working mother raising two young boys in Perth on the minimum wage. She knew what it meant to juggle life’s demands with no safety net - and she used that as fuel to keep pushing forward. She went back to study - and then studied some more, earning a Master’s and a PhD focused on countering violent extremism. From there, Anne became a globally recognised expert in her field - advising the United Nations, publishing hundreds of academic works, and even being the only Australian invited to speak at President Obama’s White House summit on countering violent extremism. But academia was never where her story stopped. In 2016, Anne took another monumental pivot - into politics. She was elected as the Federal Member for Cowan, becoming the first Muslim woman in the Australian Parliament, and then a minister in federal government, shaping policy on multicultural affairs, small business and international development. Along the way, she has championed issues close to her heart - from community safety to meaningful support for domestic and family violence survivors, turning her own life experience into public purpose. In this episode, Anne talks about how she navigated seismic life shifts with grit, compassion, and that same drive to make space for voices too often overlooked - and how she keeps pivoting even when the stakes are high.

This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter. Rosie O’Donnell has lived almost every version of life in the spotlight. From her breakout in Hollywood alongside Tom Hanks and Madonna, to her groundbreaking daytime talk show that redefined television, Rosie was one of the most famous women in America. But with fame came ridicule, public feuds, and moments that cut deeply. She’s been celebrated, mocked, and at times turned into the punchline of her own story. And one of the most painful moments came when Ellen DeGeneres told the world they weren’t friends. In this conversation, Rosie is raw, funny and reflective. She speaks about growing up in the shadow of losing her mother, her shy first attempts at romance, the highs and lows of talk show success, and the very public feuds that made headlines. She shares what it was like to be blindsided by Ellen’s rejection, and why that moment stayed with her. And yes, she even talks about her recent return to our screens in And Just Like That. Rosie O’Donnell has lived a big, messy, fascinating life — and in this episode, she tells it all. You can follow Rosie O'Donnell here.

Brenden Abbott, known as The Postcard Bandit, is one of Australia’s most notorious bank robbers and prison escapees. He's the guy who developed the “drop-in heist,” hiding in a bank’s ceiling overnight and dropping down as staff opened the vault. Abbott continued a crime spree across Western Australia, South Australia, and Queensland, robbing banks and avoiding police. Reports claimed he sent postcards to authorities while on the run, earning his infamous nickname. Today, he remains in Casuarina Prison, having spent more time in solitary confinement than most inmates and serving longer than many murderers. In this episode, we spoke to his son, James, and retired officer, Glen Porter, about whether it’s time for Abbott to finally be released.

Happy New Year! We are kicking off 2026 with a story that will squeeze your heart in more ways than one. Imagine welcoming a perfectly healthy baby boy, only to be told ten days later that he has suffered heart failure after catching a common virus. That was the reality for Catie. Her son, Tom, was just a precious little newborn when an infection left him fighting for his life.The trauma that this caused to his heart meant he had to be kept alive for months by a huge 160kg machine known as a Berlin Heart while they waited for the impossible: A donor match. But waiting for a heart transplant is a unique kind of limbo. You are waiting for a miracle for your own child, while knowing another family has to face tragedy for it to happen. In an emotional episode of our Well Summer Series, Catie joins us to share the harrowing harrowing yet incredibly hopeful journey of the boy that they call Tiger Tom, the life-saving reality of organ donation, and what life looks like now for this precocious nine year old boy. And if you’re looking for more to listen to - every Mamamia podcast is curating your summer listening right across our network from pop culture to beauty to powerful interviews there’s something for everyone, explore here.

This summer we've curated your Help I Have A Teenager playlist with a healthy dose of culture-savvy conversation parents actually want - Parenting Out Loud. Welcome to Parenting Out Loud where you can be sure you're kicking off your weekend right. Monz, Amelia and Stacey are here to unpack the week once more — through the wild, wonderful lens of parenthood. On the show this week: KPop Demon Hunters is smashing records. Kids love it, parents ADORE it so, what’s behind all the hype? Tracking apps: a non-negotiable today, or are we just spying on the ones we love? The evidence that says having kids young is a good idea. We’re not completely sold, but we are talking about it. And Anne Hathaway: the quiet queen of gentle parenting who put the paps in their place. Settle in — it’s the group chat you won’t want to mute. Plus, it’s our recommendations:
How do I shop online without getting scammed? And is shape wear actually comfortable now? This week, celebrity stylist Donny Galella joins Leigh Campbell to answer the questions we’re all too afraid to ask. He explains why you should ignore "colour analysis" charts, the one item every busy mum needs for instant polish (it’s not activewear), and why you need to treat fashion brands like Taylor Swift and embrace their "new eras." If you’re stuck in a style rut, Donny’s "blind shopping" challenge might be exactly what you need to break free.

New year, new trends? It's New Years Eve and Lucinda and Chelsea are crystal ball-gazing into 2026 to predict the biggest fashion moments about to take over your wardrobe. We’re breaking down the return of "ugly" fashion (hello, mismatched prints and dad sneakers), why Gen Z is officially cancelling matching activewear sets, and the unexpected "funnel neck" silhouette that’s about to replace your blazer. Chelsea makes the case for the controversial return of fringe (yes, really) and Lucinda explains why "accessory addiction" is the new quiet luxury. Plus, we're getting into which trends have graduated from "emerging" to "commercial" – meaning they are actually worth your hard-earned cash.

What happens when your entire identity is built on being the best in the world? For Jana Pittman, one of Australia's most famous athletes, the singular goal of Olympic gold was repeatedly torn away by devastating injuries and gut-wrenching losses. You might think her biggest pivot was swapping the running track for the bobsled, becoming one of the very few athletes in history to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. But that wasn't it. Her real pivot was walking away entirely from being an elite athlete to become a doctor - all while raising six children. In this episode of Pivot Club, Sarah Davidson speaks with Jana about this massive career change. They unpack how you cope with failure when your mindset is "silver is the first loser", and how you go from being one of the best in the world to a complete beginner back at the bottom of the ladder, surrounded by people half your age. Jana shares the unfiltered story about how this profound pivot emerged from a period of intense personal and professional struggle - through divorce, miscarriages, failed exams and the financial lows of moving back into her own garage to make ends meet. Join us for a raw lesson in resilience, a look into the unseen "messy middle," and a powerful reminder that your lowest moments can be the fuel for your greatest chapter yet.

Imagine breaking a world record at the Commonwealth Games. It should be the single greatest moment of your life. But instead of wearing your gold medal, celebrating with your teammates, you are curled up in a hotel bed, alone and unable to move. That was the reality for Katja Dedekind, an Australian Paralympic Swimmer. Katja is visually impaired, but for her, that disability pales in comparison to the chronic condition she has been battling behind the scenes for years: Endometriosis. In this awakening episode of the Well Summer Series, Katja (and her emotional support dog, Duke), joins Claire Murphy to share her story of sheer resilience. From getting her period at age nine, to bleeding through her race suit during a gold-medal swim, Katja reveals the physical toll of elite sport when your body is fighting against you.They discuss the long wait times many Australian women face for a diagnosis, and Katja opens up about the life-altering decision she made to undergo a hysterectomy at 2. Join us for a story in pain, resilience and the tough choices female athletes have to make when their health is on the line.
