The family business of Mamamia: in conversation with Mia Freedman & Jessie Stephens

Description:

When Mamamia co-founder Mia Freedman first hired Jessie Stephens to write for her, she had no idea she had also just hired her eldest son's future wife, and the mother of her first grandchild.

That was 10 years ago. Since then, Mia and Jessie have gone on to sit opposite each other as two of the co-hosts of the Mamamia Out Loud podcast and have recently wrapped production on the second season of Strife, the TV drama loosely based on Mia’s memoir, on which Jessie worked as a co-producer and writer and Mia as an executive producer. 

The mother and daughter-in-law duo sat down with Sarrah in the Something To Talk About studio for their first-ever interview together to talk all things work and family - and whether truth really is stranger than fiction. 

Strife season two will premiere on BINGE May 8.
