Emillee, Amy & Tammy Hembrow Open Up About Love, Breakups & Dating in the Social Media Era

In this episode of Let’s Be Real, I’m joined again by my sisters Amy and Tammy Hembrow for a very honest conversation about love, relationships, dating, and how social media has completely changed the way we connect with each other. We chat about everything from meeting people online versus in real life, the pressure of sharing relationships online, and whether social media has made it harder to trust in modern relationships. Tammy opens up about lessons she’s learned from past relationships, rebuilding trust, recognising red flags, and understanding the difference between love, lust, and being love-bombed. Plus, we share our biggest relationship red flags and green flags, what we look for in a partner, and the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve grown older. This one is a real sister chat — honest, uncensored, and full of conversations about love, heartbreak, growth, and what makes a relationship truly work. This episode also wraps up Season One of Let's Be Real. We'll take a quick break but return with Season Two!

The Heartbreaking Reason Kayla Itsines Blocked Emilee Online

On this episode of Let's Be Real, I'm sitting down with one of Australia's OG fitness queens - the one and only Kayla Itsines. Kayla talks about her journey from training women in a small gym to building one of the world’s biggest fitness communities, creating the iconic BBG program and navigating the highs and lows of building a global business. She also shares the lessons she learned from selling her company, how success is more than just money, and realising that 'having it all' looks different for everyone. Kayla also opens up about her experience with endometriosis, pregnancy loss, anxiety during pregnancy, and the emotional journey of becoming a mum. She also speaks openly about the pressure women feel around pregnancy, their bodies and to 'bounce back' after giving birth. In a truly emotional moment, Kayla also reveals why she blocked me online - and I have to say, I can't blame her. This episode is a rollercoaster, but I hope you enjoy it.

Moana Founder Karina Irby On The Truth About Body Confidence & Staying Authentic

What does real confidence actually look like? In this honest and refreshing conversation, I sit down with content creator and Moana founder Karina Irby to talk about body image, business challenges, social media pressure and choosing a life that feels right for you, even when it doesn't fit society's expectations. Karina opens up about one of the toughest periods in her business journey, including the backlash surrounding her recent rebrand and the lessons she's learned about people-pleasing, staying true to yourself and trusting your instincts. She also shares how a vulnerable post about her eczema unexpectedly changed her life, sparked a movement of body acceptance and helped thousands of women feel less alone. Karina also speaks candidly about her decision not to have children, the criticism that often comes with that choice, and what happiness looks like when you stop living by other people's expectations. It's an episode packed with powerful reminders about self-acceptance, learning from your mistakes and living unapologetically LINKS Follow Emilee on Instagram (@emileehembrow) and TikTok (@emileehembrowofficial) Follow Karina (@karinairby) on Instagram and TikTok Watch full episodes of Let's Be Real on YouTube Follow Nova Podcasts on Instagram for videos from the podcast and behind the scenes content – @novapodcastsofficial.

Balancing Breakfast Radio, Social Media And Motherhood with Emily Jade O'Keefe

In this episode, I sit down with 102.9 Hot Tomato radio host, podcaster and mum-of-two, Emily Jade O'Keefe, for a raw and honest chat about parenting in the age of social media. Emily opens up about why she believes devices are the bigger issue (not necessarily social media itself), and the strict rules she has in place around phones, bedrooms and monitoring apps. We also chat about how she juggled her early morning duties hosting the Gold Coast's #1 breakfast show while raising a family, handling multiple ADHD diagnoses in her family, and how she's instilling a solid work ethic in her daughter as they collaborate on a podcast. With 30 years' experience as a broadcaster, it was great to hear Emily's insights on women and mums in the media industry, and her pivot into social media and podcasting.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte on Coming Out, Co-Parenting & Living Authentically

Natalie Bassingthwaighte is one of Australia's best-known entertainers, thanks to her years in musical theatre, starring role on soap Neighbours and fronting dance act Rogue Traders. This week, Nat joins me on Let’s Be Real for one of her most raw and honest conversations yet. After years in the spotlight, Natalie opens up about the story behind the headlines, and what it was really like to unravel the version of herself she had been living for so long. Natalie speaks candidly about juggling fame, motherhood, marriage, co-parenting, coming out later in life, and the terrifying but freeing process of choosing authenticity. She opens up about the moment that changed her life while performing in the stage production of Jagged Little Pill, the “electric” connection she felt when she met her now-fiancée Pip, and the reality of navigating such a deeply personal journey as the world watched. This is a conversation about heartbreak, healing, identity, blended families, public pressure, therapy, and learning to honour your heart. You can read more about Nat's story in her book Love Like This, which is out now.

Healing After Heartbreak: 'Saying Yes To Grief' with Eslana Lower (Part 2)

This episode deals with suicide, bullying and sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised. Elsana Lower is a nurse, a mindset coach and a mum. In the last episode, she shared the raw reality of losing her teenage daughter Rylee to suicide following abuse and online bullying. In the deeply moving conclusion to our conversation, Elsana Lower explores the transformative power of forgiveness and the mindset required to survive the unimaginable. This episode dives into the mechanics of 'learning to live and grieve simultaneously', offering a roadmap for anyone sitting in the "depths of hell" and is searching for a reason to choose life. Elsana discusses how choosing forgiveness was not a gift to those who hurt her daughter, but a necessary disconnection to save her own life and release her attachment to their outcomes. She also talks about the importance of breaking self-isolation by showing up for social connections, even when your "social battery" feels empty, and using gratitude to retrain the brain to look for the "best part of the day," making it harder for the mind to dwell on the negative.

Why You Keep Feeling Stuck (And How to Break Free) with Georgie Stevenson

In this episode, I sit down with Georgie Stevenson - entrepreneur, podcaster and founder of Nu Harvest supplements, and Rise & Conquer, the self-development platform brand built on manifestation and self-trust. Georgie shares her journey from studying law and working at a corporate firm to walking away from it all to follow a path that felt more aligned with her values. What started as a creative side hustle quickly evolved into multiple thriving businesses. But this conversation goes deeper than business. We unpack the power of manifestation and what it really means (and what most people get wrong), the value in identity shifts, and why becoming the person you want to be matters more than chasing external success. Georgie breaks down practical tools to help you get unstuck, rewire your thinking, and step into a new version of yourself - even when it feels uncomfortable. If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or like you’re capable of more, this episode will change the way you think about growth, mindset, and what’s possible for your life.
