I thought I'd read all there was to know about Strife and what you did in the background and what was factvor fiction but no! I just learnt a whole lot more. Thanks for a great article and congratulations on TV show,  it was brilliant (and sorry for the compliments,  I know they bore you!)

Awesome piece Mia, thanks for writing this and giving me insight to the whole journey.  I was an avid reader of your news articles and started following your blog site. It's been wonderful to watch you go from strength to strength and witnessing some of your ups and downs. I was so disappointed when you pulled out of Australian story (I understand why, absolutely fair enough) so this article feels like a fine replacement,  thank you! X

I saw this headline and thought it was going to be about " Molly" from a country practice!!! That was 35 years ago and I can still cry if I see the scene on you tube!

So glad you are on the mend! We were worried when we heard you were poorly. Miss you on the podcast, looking forward to hearing you again.  X

That really, really doesn't look like Halle Berry? Are you sure that's her?

Brilliantly articulated Mia. Thanks for putting into words the same complex feelings and different relationships that I have with my sons and daughter ❤️

So wonderful to see and hear you talk about your special day. After hearing about all the speeches I would have loved to hear them too.....but that's just being greedy - I understand that's just for you. X

Oh Mia, reading this just made me want to give you a hug. 

I find it gobsmacking that you'd feel hopeless and not good at anything when you built a media empire!!!!! The proof of your success and capabilities are all around you for you to see.
Please be kind to yourself. 
As usual,  thank you for your raw honesty  - you really,  really help so many women with your authentic self.
I admire and appreciate you.
Thank you.  X

I  am so sorry to hear that you are sick! It's so crap. Thank you for sharing your symptoms and situation,  I think its really helpful for our community.  You must find a way to let go of the fear and guilt, for one it changes NOTHING and another is that it's not correct thinking.  Imagine if Mia shared with you that she was anxious about who she may have given it to? What would wise Holly say? Certainly not what you've been telling yourself.  Rest up, get better soon. X
