Welcome to a brand new podcast from Mamamia's parenting podcast This Glorious Mess called Little Love Stories.

Little Love Stories is an open-hearted conversation with someone who has love and gratitude to share, whether it's about a person, an object, or an event.

In this first episode, This Glorious Mess co-host Annaliese Todd shares the love story she wrote to herself. No one plans on becoming a single parent, but through this journey of self-discovery, Annaliese is breaking down stigmas and finding love for herself as she navigates the dark days.

Little Love Stories explores gratitude through written form and heartfelt conversation. The world is full of little moments of love and magic—it's time we started to notice them.

The Jimmy & Nath show is the biggest weeknight radio programs in Australia. Hosted by best mates, Jimmy Smith and Nathan Roye.

Jimmy and Nath joined Mia Freedman in the Mamamia studios for a candid conversation about their careers, their successes, their friendship, as well as the ways that they're using their platform and their audience to discuss some really important things - from mental health to domestic violence. We also hear about what it’s like when your best mate gets married, how to fight back against the influence of Andrew Tate, and why Jimmy didn’t like Nath when they first met. This is a must-listen episode of No Filter with Mia Freedman.

If you or anyone you know needs to speak with an expert, please contact your GP or in Australia, contact Lifeline (13 11 14), Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800) or Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), all of which provide trained counsellors you can talk with 24/7.

If you're a girl or a woman who doesn't think she wants to have kids - where are your role models for what your life could look like?

Portrayals of happy mums are everywhere, but rarely do we see women who choose not to have children shown in a positive light.

Ten years ago, journalist and editor Farrah Storr decided to be a non-parent. In the years since that decision, she has learned so much about the many ways a woman can live a rich, connected and fulfilling life without having children. And lucky for us, she’s turned her observations into a list of aha moments and beautiful surprises that we can all learn from, whether we are parents or non-parents, and she shares them with Mia Freedman in this episode of No Filter.

You can read Farrah’s substack “Things Worth Knowing” here.

And you can follow her on Instagram here.
