    Sam Wood: Bachelor "Never Told Before" Secrets, Building 28 and Why Strength Training Will Change Your Life in Menopause

    Ten years is a long time. The last time Sam Wood sat down with Jules on Tea with Jules, he was fresh off The Bachelor, newly in love with Snezana, and just beginning to figure out what came next. A lot has happened since then. In this episode, Jules reunites with one of Australia's most trusted voices in health and fitness, Sam Wood, founder of 28 by Sam Wood but before we get to dumbbells and discipline, Sam takes Jules behind the scenes of The Bachelor in a way he admits he has never quite done before. The story of how a gym client wouldn't take no for an answer. The moment he knew it was Snezana, weeks before the show would let him say so. The uncomfortable reality of dating other women on camera when your heart had already decided and what it was really like to go from a kids fitness trainer nobody knew to the most talked-about man in Australia, almost overnight. Then the conversation turns to where Sam is most passionate: your health. He delivers some of the most direct, useful fitness advice Jules has had on the podcast. Why strength training is non-negotiable for women over 40. Why you will not get bulky. Why the goal of how you look eventually gives way to something far more powerful. And why, if you are going through perimenopause or menopause and you are not strength training, you are doing yourself the biggest disservice of your life, his words.

    "It's Not a Broken Family" - What a Divorce Lawyer Who's Been Through It Wants You to Know | Gabriella Pomare

    Disclaimer: This episode is for general information only and is not intended as legal advice. Please seek independent legal advice for your individual circumstances. Separation and divorce are topics most of us only talk about in hushed tones, or not at all. But what if the conversation could actually help? Whether you're happily married, quietly struggling, or somewhere in the middle of the hardest decision of your life, this episode is for you. Jules sits down with Gabriella Pomare, a Sydney-based family lawyer, author, and founder of The Collaborative Co-Parent, a platform dedicated to helping separated families move through co-parenting with more compassion, clarity and grace. What makes Gabriella different from most lawyers? She's been through it herself. With a one-year-old at home and a career built on guiding others through divorce, she navigated her own separation and came out the other side with a perspective that is equal parts honest, practical and deeply human. In this conversation, Jules and Gabriella talk about why marriages quietly unravel long before anyone says a word, the dangerous idea of staying for the kids, how to protect your children through the hardest kind of change, what to do when your ex simply won't cooperate, and why in Gabriella's words, it's not a broken family. This is not a conversation about failure. It's a conversation about rebuilding.

  3. From "Hard No" to Standing Ovation: Archie Sebastian's Journey to the Stage with Guy

    From "Hard No" to Standing Ovation: Archie Sebastian's Journey to the Stage with Guy

    Jules Sebastian is back! A new room, new era, and the story she's been waiting to tell. In this first episode of a brand new chapter of Tea with Jules, Jules sits down with her manager and friend Lisa Johnson to finally speak openly and honestly about one of the biggest moments of her family's year: her son Archie joining his father Guy Sebastian on tour and the extraordinary journey that led to a standing ovation in a packed arena. Jules shares what it felt like to watch Archie's talent quietly develop over years. The emotional weight of playing that unfinished song to her father in hospital. The conversations that convinced Archie to say yes. The moment she came outside herself, watching him on the big screen. And the pride in Archie, in Hudson, in Guy, and in this season of life as a family. This is also an episode about what tour life really looks like from the inside: the unseen stamina of an artist like Guy, the joy of bringing kids to the Brisbane Children's Hospital. Jules also reflects on what this podcast means to her personally, why she made it, what it's given her, and where it's going next. Pour yourself some tea, let's begin!

    Jules & Lisa Couch Catch-Up: Just Getting on With It! Trying to Keep Up Habits & Resetting After Routine Disruption

    This week’s episode is a real-time life update. School term is back, routines are out the window, the gym schedule has collapsed, the Coke Zero is flowing and the lawyer in Jules head has taken up permanent residence. If you’ve ever gone from “I am thriving” to “I am unravelling” in the space of two weeks - this one’s for you.  Lisa and I talk honestly about what happens when your carefully built habits get disrupted, how hormonal weeks can make everything feel heavier than it actually is, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is surrender instead of spiral. There’s crying. There’s chips. There’s Beyoncé. There’s a saxophone wedding story that will wreck you in the best way. If you’ve been feeling off-kilter, emotional, stretched or like you’ve let yourself down you haven’t. You’re human. And you’re not alone. Hit follow if you’re loving Tea with Jules - your support means the world. Let’s keep trying to life together.
