Up & Away: Mia Freedman

Career woman, mother, wife and curator-creator of opinions on all things women, Mia Freedman talks to Jodie McLeod about her journey of building and growing women’s lifestyle website, Mamamia.

Mia Freedman has carved a unique path in the world of business. Starting out in womenโ€™s magazines she was editor ofย Cosmopolitanย at age 24, had her first of three children soon after, and โ€“ by way of a not-so-successful stint in television spent three years as a soloist writing a blog. This blog went on to become the formidable womenโ€™s lifestyle website Mamamia, which Mia now runs with her husband Jason Lavigne.

But it doesnโ€™t end there. Mamamia is continually expanding, now with a sister website iVillage, and a presence in radio, print and soon โ€“ online retail. Along the way Mia has certainly learnt a thing or two about running a business โ€“ and especially about the juggling act of being a mother, wife and career woman. Listen to the interview now.
