Andrrea didn't want to be a psychic. She didn't even really believe in them. Yet one day, something happened that caused a shift in her life that has led her to become a leading figure in the world of psychics, and beyond.

Whether you (or we) believe in psychics is NOT the point of this wonderful, funny, and highly enjoyable episode. And while Andrrea does offer some really down to earth advice and insights ... the real story is about how she went from being an Opera Singer, to following her passion and what she believe's is her life purpose.

In a nutshell, Andrrea got herself a freakin' life alright ... so take a listen just to find out what happened.

This is the raw story of the ups, downs, and ups of Mia Freedman, as told by Mia Freedman. Arguably one of Australia's most consistently influential people through her work in the media, you will discover the person behind the persona in this episode of Get a Freakin' Life.

Mia started working in the women's magazine industry at age 19, and in 2003, after seven years of hard work including editing 100 issues of Cosmopolitan magazine, Mia became the Editor-In-Chief of Cosmopolitan, Cleo and Dolly. Mia then moved the channel 9 network in Australia and in 2009 was appointed Chair of the Federal Government's National Body Image Advisory Group.

Perhaps her most personal project to date is the mamamia blog, which Mia started in 2007 and now has an editorial team of 14 women of all ages and backgrounds, plus over 300 contributors from ordinary women in the community, and including Hollywood star Toni Collette and former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
