Is Mia Freedman A Bad Mum?

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

This is not your ordinary No Filter. Today, the tables have been turned.

Mia Freedman has been a parent for 20-years and we invited her son Luca into the studio to grill her about their unique relationship.

Mia tells Luca about the time she dropped him as a baby, what her first thoughts were when she gave birth, and how she reacted when she first found out he was watching porn.

This interview will have you laughing, crying and a little bit in awe of how a mother and son can be so open and honest with each other.
